Title	Antioch College Catalogue and Rules and Regulations
Subject	Education Religion in Ohio Universities and colleges Church colleges Catalogs
Place	Yellow Springs (Ohio) Greene County (Ohio)
Description	This one-page catalogue announces the opening of Antioch College, which was known as "the little Harvard of the West" in the 1850s. The catalogue lists registered students and promises that "Equal Opportunities for Education are Offered to Both the Sexes." It measures approximately 16" x 20" (40.64 x 50.8 cm). Also included here is a sixteen-page pamphlet titled "Laws and Regulations" that conveys a sense of campus life and the moral control over it imposed by Horace Mann, the college's president. It measures 4.8" x 7" (12.2 x 17.8 cm). The Christian Church, a Protestant denomination, founded Antioch College in 1852 as a coeducational, nonsectarian college. The name represents the Syrian City of Antioch where, according to the Bible, the disciples of Jesus were first referred as Christians. The board of trustees chose reformer and educator Horace Mann as the college's first president. In its first year Antioch enrolled eight students in the college, and over two hundred in its preparatory department. Antioch Hall, completed in 1853, served as the main building for the college and included a chapel, lecture hall, recitation rooms, laboratory and library. Two dormitories were also constructed, one for men and one for women.
