Contribution Story

This stole was given to me by a student when I visited the College of Wooster in 1998.  The student asked to remain anonymous.

The College of Wooster was founded by Presbyterians, and although it it now fully independent the college maintains close ties to the denomination.  Wooster boasts a long commitment to progressive values; the first PhD in the college's history was awarded to a woman, Annie Irish, in 1882.  The college admitted its first Black students in the 1880's and has always maintained an internationally diverse student body.
