About Allegheny Wesleyan College
According to Wikipedia, Allegheny Wesleyan College is a private four-year liberal arts college in Salem, Ohio. History Allegheny Wesleyan College started out in 1943 as a private Methodist school in Salem, Ohio. With increasing enrollment, it purchased the forty-three acre Satterthwaite Farm and erected dormitories, classrooms and a dining hall. At that time, it was known as the Salem Bible Institute or Salem Bible College. It sought out religious affiliation with the Allegheny Wesleyan Methodist Connection in 1973 and it continues to remain supported by the Wesleyan Methodists to this day. In the same year, the Rev. James Beers was appointed as the president of the university, which assumed its current name of Allegheny Wesleyan College.
