Antioch College, a seat of learning at Yellow Springs, Green county, Ohio, 75 m. N. E. of Cincinnati. It was incorporated in 1852, and its buildings, erected at an expense of $150,000, occupy a beautiful and healthful situation. The college is designed to give education as cheaply as possible to the people of the West; to open every opportunity equally to men and women; and to he religious but not sectarian. It requires sound moral character in the students, not less than scholarship. Horace Mann was its president from 1853 till his death in 1859, when he was succeeded by Thomas Hill, I). D., who held the position until elected president of Harvard college in 1862.

In 1866 George W. Hosmer, D. D., of Buffalo, N. Y., was chosen president, but resigned the office in 1872, and was succeeded by Prof. Edward Orton. The education of the two sexes together has proved successful. About one third of the pupils have been women, and the moral tone of the students has been excellent. The average number in attendance in all departments for the last five years has been about 165. The highest cost of tuition in the college course is $30 a year. There are seven professors and four assistant female teachers. The college has an endowment of $103,000. By a recent vote of the board of trustees, an offer is made to the high schools of Ohio of free tuition to one young man and one young woman in each school yearly, who shall be well prepared to enter the freshman class. A preparatory school and a musical institute are attached to the college, and under the supervision of the faculty.
