By a supplementary act of the Legislature, the pre~ident and professors of the seminary were empowered to act as the faculty of the college and confer degrees in the arts and sciences. The original funds for the institution were secured in England in 1823-24 by the Right Rev. Philander Chase, first Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the Northwest territory, two of the principal donors heing Lord Kenyon and Lord Gambier. The first students were received at the Bishop's house in Worthington, Ohio, in 1824, and the first constitution was approved by the Convention of the Diocese of Ohio on November 27 of the same year. In 1826, two quarter sections of the Cnited States military lands were secured in Knox County. Building- was begun in the fol­ lowing year. The first degrees were conferred under date of September 9, 1829. In 1891 the corporate title was changed to Kenyon College, the name by which the instituti0n had always been known. The Bishops of Ohio and Southern Ohio preside over the Doard of Trustee:; in alternate years.
