Kenyon College is a private liberal arts college in Gambier, Ohio, founded in 1824. It is the oldest private college in Ohio. The campus is noted for its Collegiate Gothic architecture and rural setting.[5][6] Kenyon College is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.[7] Newsweek selected Kenyon College as one of twenty-five “New Ivies” on the basis of admissions statistics as well as interviews with administrators, students, faculty and alumni.[8] The acceptance rate for the Class of 2018 was 24.6%.[9]

Kenyon was established in parallel with the Bexley Hall seminary by Episcopalian Bishop Philander Chase. Though its theological program gradually waned in importance (ultimately leading to the disassociation and departure of the seminary in 1968), the college continues to maintain an affiliation to the Episcopal Church. The college today prefers to emphasize its liberal arts tradition over its religious background.[10]

We should create an "Episcopalian" alert!
