Founding

The Sulphur Spring, renovated in 2005, was a major vacation spot for health seekers in the 1830s.

In 1841, Ohio residents Adam Poe and Charles Elliott decided to establish a university "of the highest order" in central Ohio.^[13] To that end, they purchased the Mansion House Hotel, a former health resort with its Sulfur Spring, using funds raised from local residents.^[14][15] Poe and Elliot wrote a charter emphasizing "the democratic spirit of teaching", which was approved by the Ohio State Legislature. Early in the following year they opened the college preparatory Academy and formed a Board of Trustees.^[16] Ohio Wesleyan University, named (like several other U.S. colleges and universities) after John Wesley, founder of Methodism, opened on November 13, 1844 as a Methodist-related but nonsectarian institution, with a College of Liberal Arts for male students.^[17][7][18] Image File history File linksMetadata Size of this preview: 800 × 600 pixelsFull resolution (1600 × 1200 pixel, file size: 766 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)== Summary == Sulfur Spring at Ohio Wesleyan University File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old...

Ohio Wesleyan's first president, Edward Thomson, stated in his inaugural address on August 5, 1846 that the school was "a product of the liberality of the local people."^[19] This liberal philosophy contributed to Wesleyan's vocal opposition to slavery in the 1850s.^[20][21][22] In the annual celebration for George Washington's birthday in 1862, second president Frederick Merrick endorsed Ohio Wesleyan's "ideals of democracy" during his oration.^[23] Edward Thomson was an American Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church (and therefore also of the United Methodist Church), elected in 1864. ...

Curriculum growth and fundraising

Elliott Hall, the first college building on campus, was renovated in 2000 and is Ohio's oldest collegiate Greek Revival building.^[24]

During the mid-19th century, Ohio Wesleyan focused on attracting students, adding fields of study, and fundraising, by which it significantly increased its endowment.^[25] Sturges Hall was constructed as the University's first library in 1855.^[26] In 1873, the school added the Department of Natural History housed in Merrick Hall.^[27] The Ohio Wesleyan Female College, established in 1853, merged with Wesleyan in 1877.^[28][29] Between 1876 and 1888, enrollment tripled and music education greatly increased, yet no major buildings were built in this time.^[30][31] Image File history File linksMetadata No higher resolution available. ...

Between 1891 and 1895, Wesleyan specialized the curriculum by establishing departments for physics, zoology, geology, speech, history, French, English, and economics.^[34] This specialization encouraged undergraduates to continue studies at graduate level, allowed professional preparation for the Doctor of Philosophy degree, and promoted exchange study in Europe.^[35] Two professional schools for law and medicine were formed in 1896.

In 1905, the Board of Trustees decided to keep Ohio Wesleyan a college, despite the expansion of the curriculum and campus and the word "university" in the institution's name.^[36] The Bachelor of Science degree was abolished, which left only the Bachelor of Arts.

In the 1920s, academic requirements for the bachelor's degree were reduced, and Latin and mathematics were no longer emphasized.^[41] During the presidency of John W. Hoffman (1916–1928), the Academy and School of Business were closed; the Academy had started in 1842 as a preparatory school, and throughout its seventy-five years frequently outnumbered the college in enrollment.^[42] Also in the 1920s, the chapel service was dropped and sororities were formed. Wesleyan also increased the number of buildings on campus, including Selby Stadium, Austin Manor, and Perkins Observatory; another building, Stuyvesant Hall, was in planning; and Edgar Hall was opened.^[43] This article lists the current and past presidents of Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio. ...

During the Great Depression, both enrollment and alumni donations shrank.^[44] While the faculty size remained stable, lack of tuition and alumni revenues precipitated financial problems which threatened the college's survival in the administrations of Edmund P. Soper (1928–1938) and Herbert John Burgstahler (1938–1949).^[45] Image File history File links Size of this preview: 450 × 600 pixelsFull resolution (453 × 604 pixel, file size: 403 KB, MIME type: image/png) Personal picture Ohio Wesleyan University Stuy Hall author: Johnathan Siegel Taken: June 2007 I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby grant the permission to copy...

The administration adjusted the curriculum during the early 1930s to address these problems.^[46] Greek and Latin declined, while business administration and economics thrived and the highest enrollments were in the social sciences, English, pre-medicine, and history. The registrar reported that, in these years, the number of students from New England states, urban Ohio areas, and from international locations increased. By the 1930s, the Methodist students were a minority among the student body;^[47] formal ties to the Methodist church were severed in the 1920s^[48] and led to debate among Board members in the 1930s, eventually resulting in the university's current loose historical affiliation.^[49] In a study into the relationship between American educational institutions and the Christian denominations they were historically affiliated with, James Tunstead Burtuchell writes that it was during this period that “in its personnel, its resources, and its students”, Wesleyan lost its “symbiotic intimacy with the United Methodist Church.”^[50] This article is about the region in the United States of America. ...

In 1946, Ohio Wesleyan introduced a new "Centennial Curriculum", which enacted seven distribution requirements across the sciences and humanities; the new requirement for a foreign language course was added to the existing humanities requirement.^[51] Thomson and Bashford Halls, originally men's dorms, were built between 1951 and 1954.^[52] In the 1960s, faculty, staff and administrators fought over administrative structure and control.^[53] They eventually settled on a new "statement of aims" that stressed values, rather than religious goal statements, and instituted a more internationalized curriculum, a new Women's Studies Program, and an International Business major; the faculty senate also introduced a new academic calendar with three 10.5-week terms.^[54]

Thomas Wenzlau's presidency (1968–1984) began with the challenge of campus unrest: Wesleyan students took over the ROTC building, demanded its shut-down, and eventually eliminated ROTC in 1970.^[55][56] Students also demanded participation in departmental meetings and faculty committees, and the democratic process in the governance of Wesleyan grew in this period.^[57] Wenzlau's presidency witnessed decline in students' test scores, an unusually high attrition rate, lack of adequate research to identify potential major donors and a growing "party school" image,^[58] leading to a rocky relationship between him and the student body.^[59] Between 1979 and 1982, the campus newspaper The Transcript frequently criticized Wenzlau's presidency, blaming it for "severely affecting the reputation of the college".^[60] This exchange resulted in a Washington Post report on the school that eventually precipitated the end of Wenzlau's presidency.^[61] The Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) is a training program of the United States armed forces present on college campuses to recruit and educate commissioned officers. ...

More recently, Ohio Wesleyan has achieved several academic and athletic recognitions. A 1986 study, titled "Educating America's Scientists: The Role of the Research Colleges," identified Ohio Wesleyan as one of 48 highly selective "science-active" liberal arts institutions in the nation.^[65] The Battling Bishops won NCAA Division III national championships in men's basketball (1988) and men's (1998) and women's (2001, 2002) soccer.^[66] The Battling Bishops is the name of the sports teams, and other competitive teams, at Ohio Wesleyan University. ...

Approximately 200 upper-class students live in Small Living Units (SLUs), which are co-ops united voluntarily to meet shared economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations in democratically controlled houses. The houses allow students to live cooperatively with one another by sharing regularly scheduled house chores, participating in the decision process, and, in some, sharing the cooking duties. Each unit houses a group of 15 students, and is organized to promote a common theme, usually indicated by the co-op's name. As of the 2006–2007 academic year, the SLUs consist of The Peace and Justice House, The International House, The House of Black Culture, The Creative Arts House, The Women's House, The Modern Foreign Languages House, The House of Thought, and The Tree House. The University owns these houses; the co-ops, therefore, must follow the University's living policies. The co-ops do, however, elect their own officers and do not have Resident Advisers or faculty in residence like other on-campus residence halls. At the end of each academic year, every existing and potential co-op must submit a house proposal describing its plans for theme promotion for the next academic year.
