From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Adrian College is a private, co-educational liberal arts college related to the United Methodist Church and located in the city of Adrian in the U.S. state of Michigan. The school is situated approximately 45 minutes from Ann Arbor and Toledo, Ohio, and 90 minutes from Detroit. The college is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and as of 2007 has an enrollment of approximately 1300 students. Its campus is situated on approximately 100 acres (0.4 km²) and features both newly constructed facilities with modern designs and historic buildings recognized for their past, such as Downs Hall, home of the college's Stubnitz art gallery and theater program. Adrian College is the third college or university to offer women's hockey as a varsity sport in the state of Michigan.

Adrian College athletic teams, nicknamed the Bulldogs, are part of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA), and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) - Division III. Greek life is present on campus, including Phi Kappa Sigma, Alpha Tau Omega, Theta Chi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and the recent colonization of Tau Kappa Epsilon. There are also three sororities, Alpha Phi, Alpha Sigma Alpha, and Chi Omega.

History

The college had its origin as a theological institute founded by Wesleyan Methodists at Leoni, Michigan in 1845. This institution merged with Leoni Seminary, another Methodist school, in 1855 to form Michigan Union College. In 1859, that institution closed and its assets were transferred to Adrian to establish Adrian College. The college was chartered by the Michigan Legislature on March 28, 1859, under the first President of the College, abolitionist Asa Mahan. In the early stages of the American Civil War the College volunteered itself as a base for the formation of Michigan regiments for the Union side. The current Valade Hall building sits on the site of the former base camp for these soldiers.
