Rev. William J. Monteith was Albany College's first president from 1867-1868. Montieth was the organizing pastor of the Albany Presbyterian Church, and the brother of Thomas and Walter Montieth, founders of the town of Albany. Montieth served as president of what was then Albany Collegiate Institute for one year during which he helped finalize the donation of land to the college from his bothers, secured articles of incorporation from the State of Oregon, raised money for the construction of the college's first building, and established the curriculum for the Presbyterian school.
