Washington and Jefferson College,

an educational institution in Washington, Pa.; formerly two separate colleges, but united under an act of the legislature in 1865, the preparatory and scientific departments being located at Washington, and the sophomore, junior, and senior classes at Canonsburg, the former seat of Jefferson College. This arrangement proved undesirable, and in 1869 the whole institution was located in Washington, Pa. In 1900 it reported: Professors and instructors, 20; students, 350; volumes in the library, 16,000; productive funds, $263,098; grounds and buildings valued at $272,500; income, $37,914; number of graduates, 3,884; president, Rev. James D. Moffat, D. D. [202]
