Abstract:
The History of Baldwin University and German Wallace College was written in 1945 by Clyde E. Feuchter, Hilbert T. Ficken, Adam J. Loeppert, Frances F. Mills, Bertha L. Stiefel, and Myron F. Wicke. It chronicles the development of Baldwin-Wallace College, affliated with the United Methodist Church. Baldwin University came into existence in 1855 from a series of preceding institutions that included the Berea Seminary and the Baldwin Institute. All three were created with the aid of John Baldwin. In 1863, German Wallace College was established by Baldwin University trustee James Wallace around a nucleus of the Baldwin University Department of German. The two merged in 1913 to create Baldwin-Wallace College. The collection consists of a typescript of seven chapters covering the years 1790-1913 and including narrative on the early settlement of Berea,Ohio, the establishment of both institutions, and early student life.
