Davis Memorial Hall
Washington & Jefferson College is a private liberal arts college in Washington, Pennsylvania, which is located in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. The college traces its origin to three log cabin colleges in Washington County, Pennsylvania established by three Presbyterian missionaries to the American frontier in the 1780s: John McMillan, Thaddeus Dod, and Joseph Smith. These early schools eventually grew into two competing academies and colleges, with Canonsburg Academy, later Jefferson College, located in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania and Washington Academy, later Washington College, in Washington. These two colleges merged in 1865 to form Washington & Jefferson College. The campus, the historic entrances of which are marked by brick gates, has over 40 buildings.

The main academic building is Old Main, which is topped with two prominent towers. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
