DJ worn and torn: pieces missing. Introduction by William H. Crawford, President of Allegheny College. Allegheny College is a private, coeducational liberal arts college in northwestern Pennsylvania. Allegheny is the oldest college in continuous existence under the same name west of the Allegheny Mountains. Allegheny was founded in April 1815 by the Reverend Timothy Alden, a graduate of Harvard's School of Divinity. The first class, consisting of four male students, began their studies on July 4, 1816, without any formal academic buildings. Within six years, Alden accumulated sufficient funds to begin building a campus. The first building erected, the library, was designed by Alden himself, and is a notable example of early American architecture. Bentley Hall is named in honor of Dr. William Bentley, who donated his private library to the College, a collection of considerable value and significance. In 1824, Thomas Jefferson wrote to Alden, expressing the hope that his University of Virginia could someday possess the richness of Allegheny's library. Alden served as president of the college until 1831. Allegheny began admitting women in 1870, early for a US college; a woman was valedictorian of the Allegheny class of 1875. One source suggests that Ida Tarbell, the pioneering journalist who exposed the predatory practices of Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company, was the first woman to attend Allegheny. Papers read at a conference on the American college, held to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of Allegheny College. William H. Crawford, President of Allegheny College. Topics covered include the aim and scope of the New England college, the place of the languages and literatures in the college curriculum, the place of the newer humanities in the college curriculum, the place of the physical and natural sciences in the college curriculum, the college as a preparation for professional study, the college as a preparation for practical affairs, and the American college in the life of the American people, among others. Authors included, among others, leaders from Brown University, University of Chicago, Harvard University, Princeton University, Western Reserve University, Trinity College, and Amherst College.
