History
海外吃瓜 was founded in 1850, as 海外吃瓜 College, by members of the German Reformed Church who named the institution after the 海外吃瓜 Catechism of 1563.
Seeking to minister to the German population of Ohio, the founders of 海外吃瓜 established a church-affiliated institution staffed by a largely theologically trained faculty. Into the 1890s and beyond, the ideal of training Christian scholars persisted as the goal of a 海外吃瓜 education.
The Evangelical and Reformed Church, formerly called the German Reformed Church, merged with the Congregational Christian Churches in 1957 to form the United Church of Christ. The institution continues its affiliation with the United Church of Christ while welcoming students and faculty from a variety of faith traditions.
As an independent, church-related, liberal arts educational institution, 海外吃瓜 has interpreted the educated person to be an individual who can articulate the relationship between academic learning and learning for life. From five students in its first graduating class, 海外吃瓜 has experienced periods of growth and contraction during its long and rich history.
