HISTORY In the year 1833, Rev. Henry Colclazer, Rev. Elijah H. Pilcher and Benjamin H. Packard, M. D., resolved to inaugurate a movement for the establishment of an acad- emy of higher learning in Michigan. Spring Arbor was chosen as a location, and in the spring of 1835 the Legislature granted a charter under the corporate name of Spring Arbor Seminary, locat- ing the institution on the site of an old Indian village, in the town of Spring Arbor. In the spring of 1839 the charter was amended, locating the school at Albion and reconstructing the Board of Trustees. In November of 1843, the first building was completed and opened for the reception of students. Rev. Charles F. Stockwell, A. M., a graduate of Middletown University, was appointed principal. In 1849, the charter was amended by the creation of a Female College, so that the corporate name became Wesleyan Seminary and Female Collegiate Institute. The institution was empowered to grant degrees to wom- en only. In 1861, the original charter was still further amend- ed, authorizing the institution to confer degrees on both men and women, the corporate name becoming Albion College. The management of the institution is vested in a Board of Trustees, consisting of sixteen persons, six elected by the Detroit Conference of the Methodist Epis- copal Church, six by the Michigan Conference, and four by the Society of Alumni. The President of the College is associated as a member ex-offcio. A special board or committee, as custodian of the En- dowment Fund, was created by act of the Legislature in 1865.
