History & Fun Facts

•Early history Allegheny College was founded in April 1815 by Timothy Alden, a graduate of Harvard's School of Divinity.
•The college has been affiliated with the United Methodist Church since 1833 but does not integrate religion into the classroom or pedagogy.
•The first building erected, the library, was designed by Alden himself, and is a notable example of early American architecture.
•In 1824, Thomas Jefferson wrote to Alden, expressing the hope that his University of Virginia could someday possess the richness of Allegheny's library.
•Alden served as president of the college until 1831 when financial and enrollment difficulties forced his resignation.
