History
Immanuel College was founded in 1895 at Point Pass (north of Eudunda, east of the Clare Valley), before its subsequent move to North Adelaide in 1921. During WWII, the buildings were required by the Air Force, and the college was forced to temporarily move to North Walkerville for the period 1942-1946. In 1949, land at Novar Gardens was acquired from the Morphett family property 'Cummins', and the school was eventually established there in 1957. Cummins House was sold to the State Government in 1977, and Immanuel College leased that property for 5 years from 1982 to 1987.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Universal history is the history of a few metaphors.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
“Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of graver import than history, since its statements are rather of the nature of universals, whereas those of history are singulars.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
