Kenyon College

Kenyon College is a private liberal arts college founded in Gambier, Ohio in 1824, by Episcopal Bishop Philander Chase. Originally an all-male institution, Kenyon became co-educational in 1969. Kenyon remains loosely affliated with the Episcopal Church in the United States of America. Kenyon College is a member of the Five Colleges of Ohio, Great Lakes Colleges Association, and the Association of Episcopal Colleges.

Athletics

Kenyon's sports teams are referred to as the Lords and Ladies, and their colors are purple and white, with gold often added as an accent. The college's men's and women's swimming teams are generally considered among the best in NCAA Division III, with the men's team winning 26 consecutive national championships and the women's 20 (not consecutively). Swim Coach Jim Steen is the winningest coach in any sport in NCAA history.
