History The designation Ohio Five or Ohio Six (including Antioch College) first appeared at the typewriters of journalists in Ohio in the beginning of the twentieth century. The tag, premature of any formal agreement, was immediately adopted by the press as a foreshadowing of an Ohio league of schools with similar academic and athletic reputations, which, at the time was a common perception. During the 1800s, in their evangelistic campaign to build a Christian community across the U.S. from the Atlantic to the Pacific, Protestant churches of the 19th century used the denominational college as an intellectual stronghold. By the Civil War era, the churches had founded some 40 colleges in Ohio alone, to ensure for the state a Christian core and to train the ministers who plodded after the frontiersmen across the plains. Empty treasuries and denominational rivalry have killed off all but 20 of these Ohio colleges by the 1950s. Of the survivors, educators often grouped six colleges together in the early 1900s because of their high academic standing - Oberlin College, Denison University, Ohio Wesleyan University, Kenyon College, College of Wooster and Antioch College [1]. Antioch College is a private, independent liberal arts college in Yellow Springs, Ohio. ...

Administrative programs The colleges currently maintain a central clearing house for employment opportunities at the five schools.
Libraries The libraries of the five schools are integrated into a joint venture called CONSORT. The primary objective of this endeavor by the schools is to maximize the ability to deliver academic journal services and the diversity of the book collection of the individual college in order to build a more robust consortial collection while minimizing the overall cost for all schools. CONSORT Colleges is a term used in the state of Ohio to refer to four liberal arts colleges: Denison University, Kenyon College, Ohio Wesleyan University and College of Wooster. ...

Athletic rivalry
 NCAC College Presidents in 1984 The five schools have been athletic rivals for almost a century now. The informal athletic rivalry was formalized in 1984 when the five colleges left the Ohio Athletic Conference to form a new league, beginning with the 1984-85 acedmic year. A desire for greater uniformity in academic and athletic standards was cited as the major motive for the withdrawal of these schools from the OAC. [2]. Image File history File links Firstpres. ...

Students A majority of students at all five schools self-identify themselves as liberal. Students at Oberlin, Kenyon and Wesleyan have the highest percentage of liberal students while Denison attracts the highest percentage of students who identify as conservative and very conservative.
The curriculum at all of the five schools is highly structured and academically rigorous. Generally, the four basic elements—the required humanities sequence, the breadth of study requirement, and a senior thesis (at Wooster)— creates a mix for strong component of interdisciplinary work with study of traditional majors.
First- and second-year students at each one of the colleges develop a strong a background in a broad context of liberal arts classes. Classes like Love and Sex at Ohio Wesleyan University, Philosophy of Art at Kenyon College or the Oberlin Film Series at Oberlin College provide opportunities for humanistic and scientific study. The junior and senior years at each college provide opportunities for intensive examination of the subject matter and techniques of a more narrowly defined academic discipline. , Ohio Wesleyan University (also Wesleyan or OWU, pronounced oh-WOO) is a private coeducational liberal arts college located in Delaware, Ohio. ...
