ORIGIN, GROWTH AND GOVERNMENT
T HE pioneers that, crossing the Alleghenies, made their homes in the wilderness near the Ohio river, brought with them their faith in education. Promptly they set about the opening of schools, and thus the movement began to which the origin of Washington and Jefferson College may be traced. Within ten years after the arrival of the first colonists in Western Pennsylvania, as early as 1781, the same year in which Washington County was organized, the Rev. John McMillan and the Rev. Thaddeus Dod had each not later, probably the previous year, founded a classical school, and in 1785 a third was founded by the Rev. Joseph Smith. These schools were all within ten miles of Washington, already a county seat, and were designed, no doubt, to meet immediate educational needs of the town and its surrounding settlements.
They were not rival schools, but were conducted in turn, the students being re- quired to attend one academy for a time and then to go to another, a plan adopted, it would seem, in order to provide a greater variety of instruction for the students, but particu- larly to relieve the ministers from the burden of continuous teaching.
In 1787, with an admirable spirit of fraternity, these Presbyterian ministers, a Bap- tist minister, and an Associate minister, united their efforts in founding an academy at Washington. The charter they obtained bears the date of September 24, 1787; and in 1789 the first term of the academy was opened under the principalship of the Rev. Thaddeus Dod. It is interesting to note that the library of this institution owed its origin to a gift of fifty pounds from Benjamin Franklin.
The court house, in the upper rooms of which the academy was conducted, was burned about 1790; as a result, the work of the academy was suspended, and its friends being discouraged in attempts to find a suitable building for it in Washington, another academy was organized at Canonsburg, seven miles away. The opening of this new academy led to the reopening of the Washington Academy, and rivalry began with far reaching consequences.
The supreme court of Pennsylvania granted in 1794 a charter to the academy at Canonsburg, and this institution by another charter became Jefferson College, January 15, 1802. By a similar legal process Washington Academy became Washington College, March 28, 1806. The wisdom of uniting these colleges was before long a common opinion, but for more than half a century every attempt at union ended in disagreement and in renewed or continued rivalry. In 1865, however, to secure a gift of fifty thousand dollars, offered by the Rev. C. C. Beatty, of Steubenville, Ohio, the two colleges were united under the present title of Washington and Jefferson College; and, according to a com- promise measure, it was decided to have a part of the college work done at Canonsburg and a part at Washington. The act of legislature authorizing this union is dated March 4, 1865.
After four years of trial this dual form of management, with some of the students at Washington and the remainder at Canonsburg, had proved to be unsatisfactory; con- sequently, in 1869, by another act of legislature, the board of trustees was authorized to select for the college any site in Pennsylvania, and to have the work of all the de- partments of the college proceed in the place selected. April 20, 1869, the requisite two- thirds majority of the board of trustees cast their votes for Washington. The question of consolidation was tested in the state courts and in the supreme court of the United States, and in each case its legality was affirmed.
Jefferson College was always non-sectarian; Washington for twelve years prior to the union of the two colleges had been under the control of the synod of Wheeling. Jefferson College had been the larger institution; in 1859, for example, the graduating class of Jefferson numbered fifty-seven, while that of Washington was only nineteen in number, but in its history each institution has a long list of distinguished presidents, professors and alumni. Litigation and the disturbances of the American Civil War greatly reduced the attendance of each institution so that when the colleges were at last, beyond controversy, legally united, the class graduated in 1870 contained but ten members. In the earlier part of that year the college was without a president, but, August 3, 1870, the Rev. Dr. George P. Hays was elected president and for eleven years accomplished his varied tasks with remarkable ability.
During Dr. Hays' presidency the college building was remodeled and the expense of this was met; Dr. F. J. LeMoyne, an alumnus of Washington College of the class of 1815, endowed the chair of Agriculture and Correlative Branches of Science, as well as that of Applied Mathematics, and Dr. C. C. Beatty endowed the Steubenville chair of Greek. The attendance of the college was greatly increased. In 1881, Dr. Hays re-

ORIGIN, GROWTH AND GOVERNMENT
signed to accept a call to the Central Presbyterian Church at Denver, Colo., and Novem- ber 16, 1881, the Rev. James D. Moffat, then pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of Wheeling, W. Va., was chosen to succeed Dr. Hays as president of the college.
At the close of Dr. Moffat's long presidency, thirty-three years, from 1881 to 1915, the growth of the college may be summarized as follows: The number of professors has been mutiplied threefold. The college in 1881 occupied a single building, while to- day its material equipment consist of the Memorial Library building, the gift of Mr. W. R. Thompson, of Pittsburgh; the new Physics building, erected through the gener- osity of Dr. J. L. Thistle of the class of 1878; the main building; the Academy building of 1793, which has been transformed into the Administration building; a large building occupied by the department of Applied Mathematics; a gymnasium, erected at the cost of forty thousand dollars, which, together with the Athletic field, furnishes complete equipment for the purposes of physical training; and a Freshman dormitory accommo- dating eighty men.
On June 16, 1915, the Rev. Frederick W. Hinitt, D. D., LL. D., was inaugurated as President of the college, having assumed the duties of the office on January 1, 1915.
The college in 1881 was, of course, without any provision for the maintenance of retiring professors; it has had the honor to be one of the earlier institutions placed upon the "accepted" list of The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. In 1912, in order to comply with the conditions of the offer of a gift of one hundred thous- and dollars by the General Education Board, a campaign for endowment was entered upon which secured, chiefly through the generosity of the alumni of the college, subscriptions to the amount of four hundred and forty thousand dollars. A large part of this sum has been paid in, so that the endowment of the college in thirty-three years has been increased approximately from one hundred and eighty thousand dollars to over seven hundred thousand dollars, with unpaid pledges that will, when paid, increase the amount to nearly one million dollars.
In 1881 the college studies were in accordance with a fixed curriculum with few courses, differing little from what they had been many years earlier; in 1916 the college offers numerous courses in sixteen different departments, providing, however, by a group-system, both symmetrical training and special preparation looking toward a par- ticular profession. The traditional college government was in vogue in 1881, fostering hostility between student and faculty; now more than nine years of trial of a Student Senate and an honor system in examinations, have marked a distinct advance in college ethics and good feeling.
A recent inquiry into the subject shows that there have been graduated from Wash- ington and Jefferson College since 1802, 4,604 men. Among these have been, or are,
4 Cabinet Ministers of the United States,
11 United States Senators,
