...killed off all but 20 of these Ohio colleges. Of the survivors, educators often group six together because of their high academic standing in the liberal arts and sciences: Kenyon College (1824), Denison University (1832), Oberlin College (1833), Ohio Wesleyan University (1842), Antioch College (1853), and the College of Wooster (1866). Small and selective, the six produce a surprisingly large percentage of graduate students; e.g., 60% of Oberlin's male students take advanced work. Because of facts like these, no similar intrastate group of colleges and universities is more widely respected among the nation's educators than...
Fashions in Christianity. Each of the six is true to its Christian origins in its fashion, but the fashions vary widely from campus to campus. Methodist Ohio Wesleyan and Presbyterian Wooster still have formal ties to their mother churches, still make chapel attendance compulsory.

Kenyon, the only men's college of the six, invites girls by the busload for its dances, but half the student body at Baptist Denison (1,300) and Ohio Wesleyan (2,000) is female. Wooster has no national fraternities, but Kenyon has eight, and 90% of the student body at Denison belong to fraternities or sororities. At Wooster the Presbyterian Church controls the administration; at Oberlin (no church affiliation) the faculty is the big wheel on campus, even sets salaries (top for a full professor...

...company cannot insist on a contract guaranteeing a prestrike secret ballot of all workers, union and nonunion. The Borg-Warner division in Wooster, Ohio tried to write such a contract with the U.A.W.-C.I.O.. but the board ruled the clause illegal because a vote by union and nonunion workers would dilute the union's bargaining powers and rights...
