SCHWEINFURTH, Cleveland. History ivinity School of Kenyon College owes its . i ·t 11 c to the designs and achievements of the first Bi ·h p f hio, the Rt. Rev. Philander Cha~e. T~e 11' d of the Diocese, of which he became bishop m 1 I , surrcr 't d to him the importance of an institu­ ti n f r the ducation of young men for the Ministry f the hurch. With the object of securing funds for thi · purpo e he visited England in 1823. Such was hi . uc there and such his zeal and courage that n hi r turn he determined to add to his earlier plan a 11 g for secular education. This, as he declared, wa · n t t hinder but to further the original design. Th fir t corporate name was "The Theological Semi­ nary of the rotestant Episcopal Church in the Dio- f hio." In 1891 the corporate title became ollege," and the Seminary has since been kn n a the Divinity School of Kenyon College. It i the oldest of the theological seminaries of the Epi copal Church west of the Allegheny Mountains. he roll of Alumni includes more than two hundred and fifty names, the first being recorded in the year 1 2 . The de ign includes a high standard, and its vigor­ u enforcement. Thoroughness in theological ·edu­ cation i a present demand which cannot with safety b. neglected. Loyalty to the Church, for the service t hich thi in titution was founded, requires insist­ nc upon this point. 11 12 BEXLEY HALL The instruction is Churchly and conservative, but does not shrink from discussion of those critical ques­ tions of the day, ignorance of which, on the part of the minister of the Church, is a disqualification a serious as it is inexcusable. SITE. Gambier, the seat of Kenyon College, is a villag of about seven hundred inhabitants, on the Cleveland, Akron and Columbus Railroad, a little ea t of the cen ter of the State of Ohio, fifty miles from Columbu , five miles from Mount Vernon, and one hundred and twenty miles from Cleveland. The altitude above sea level is more than a thousand feet. The ·ite wa chosen by Bishop Chase, after careful invcsti<ration, for natural beauty of surroundings and healthfuln of climate. The plateau on which the Colleg and vil­ lage are situated rises about two hundred feet abov the valley of the Kokosing River, which flow ar und it on three sides. BUILDINGS. Bexley Hall, the home of the Divinity chool stands in its own park of several acres. It is a three­ story building of pure Elizabethan architecture, erect­ ed in 1839, and contains a chapel and recitation room ' and partly furnished suites of rooms for twenty-four students. Through a gift of Samuel Mather, E q., of Cleveland, a steam heating plant has been placed in the building. Colburn Hall, the library of the theological erni­ nary, is in the same style of architecture as Bexley Hall, with which it is connected by a hand ome Tudor arch. It is the gift of Mrs. L. C. Colburn, of Toledo, as a memorial of her husband, Warren Colburn. BEXLEY HALL 13 library of about 12,000 volumes, \•hi h i: h u d in olburn Hall, contains many rare ·md uri u v lumc , some of which have no dupli- at , 11 thi ide f the Atlantic.
