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.

Historic buildings

The campus is noted for its Gothic architecture and rustic setting. Although suffering two serious fires (after which it was rebuilt), Old Kenyon Hall (1827) is believed to be the first Gothic revival building in North America.
