Abstract:

1772 marked the opening of Salem College, an institution of higher learning for women. It boasted of two distinguishing titles: oldest college for women and longest continuously running college, 170 years of uninterrupted service in 1943. The institution was founded by Moravians, a religious group which stressed the value of arts, history, language, and music. In 1943, 45 faculty members taught 363 students and an impressive 50,000 enrolled students passed through the institution during its 170 year history.
