HISTORY . . . . The Connick windows in Peirce Tower record the founding of the College in 1824 by Philander Chase, first Bishop of the Northwest Territory. Bishop Chase was not discouraged by lack of funds and in a fund-raising trip to Europe, as the song tells, Knocked at every noble’s door, and also that of Hannah More. The College, founded as The Theological Seminary of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Ohio was always known popularly as Kenyon College and in 1891 the corporate name of the school was changed to the more popular title. Kenyon has grown up in the collegiate rather than in the university tradition. Traditionally Kenyon has been limited by its charter to three hundred students and its rural atmosphere has provided the conditions for objectivity in the study of the liberal arts. The College has obtained notable recognition outside of Gambier by the accomplishments of its graduates, by the Kenyon Review founded by John Crowe Ransom, and by the peacetime and wartime services of its superior faculty. The academic year 1948-49 brought the final resolving from post- war campus confusion. Although the College was crowded by double enrollment a similar increase in the faculty insured the individual instruc- tion of pre-war quality and the close relation between faculty and student. With a new field house under construction and a new library and freshman dormitory planned for the immediate future the College looks forward to a distinguished position consonant with its quality.
