Historical Sketch of Salem In the year 1772, Salem College had its foundation in Salem Female Academy, a day-school for students of the Moravian community. As such it was maintained until 1802, when a boarding department was added. From that time the institution continued to grow until, in 1866, a charter was granted which introduced a strictly collegiate department. Thus Salem Female Academy became Salem Academy and College. Since 1910, these two institutions have been main- tained separately, although under the same administrative head and board of trustees. Through four wars Salem, whose ideal has ever been the Christian education of young women, has carried on her work, and has been in constant operation for one hundred and fifty- two years. She has become an A-class college through mem- bership in the Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools in the Southern States. With such a glorious past and with hundreds of alumna who are eager to support their Alma Mater in whatever she undertakes, Salem looks forward to a future of ever more effi- cient service. ■•■■■■■if 111
