WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY Wesleyan University is a private liberal arts college founded in 1831 and located in Middletown, Connecticut. Wesleyan was founded as an all-male Methodist college in 1831. The University was established as an independent institution under the auspices of the Methodist conference, and it was led by Willbur Fisk, its first President. Despite its name, Wesleyan was never a denominational seminary. In 1872, the University became one of the first U.S. colleges to attempt coeducation by allowing a small number of female students to attend,[14][23] a venture then known as the "Wesleyan Experiment". "In 1909, the board of trustees voted to stop admitting women as undergraduates, fearing that the school was losing its masculine image and that women would not be able to contribute to the college financially after graduation the way men could."[14] Given that concern, Wesleyan ceased to admit women, and from 1912 to 1970 Wesleyan operated again as an all-male college.[20]Wesleyan severed its final ties with the Methodist Church in 1937, a final formal recognition of many decades of practice. "I WENT TO SEE MY SUSIE" "I went to see my Susie, she met me at the door; She told me that I need not come to ee her any more; She'd fell in love with another named Andrew Jackson Pain. So Here's farewell to all true love, and farewell Wesleiana; Alma Mater fare thee well...We now must leave thee, Leave the home we love so well."
