HISTORY

WaynesburgUniversityandthetowninwhichitislocatedarenamedfortheRevolutionaryWarhero,General “Mad”AnthonyWayne. TheUniversitywascreatedbycombiningtheassetsofGreeneAcademyinCarmichaels, Pennsylvania,andMadisonCollegeinUniontown,Pennsylvania.

GreeneAcademy,closelytiedtotheCumberlandPresbyterianChurch,wasfoundedin1810tobringhigher educationtothoseoflimitedmeans,andespeciallythosecalledtoChristianministry.

Duringthesameperiod,MadisonCollegewasestablishedinUniontown,Pennsylvania,bytheMethodistChurch. However,by1838,whenthreeCumberlandPresbyterianministers,JohnMorgan,A.M.Bryan,andMiltonBird, arrivedinUniontown,MadisonCollegehadceasedtofunction. ThethreeclergysecuredcontroloftheCollegeand,in itsreconstitutedform,Madisonoperateduntil1846.

InApril1849,thePennsylvaniaPresbytery,meetinginGreenfield,WashingtonCounty,establishedacommittee tofoundanewcollege. Thecommittee,comprisedofTheReverendJ.H.D.Henderson,GeneralJesseLazar,and SamuelMoredock,Esq.,choseWaynesburgasthesiteofthenewcollege. TheReverendJoshuaLoughranofGreene AcademywasnamedWaynesburg’sfirstpresident. ThefirstclasseswereheldinSeptember,1849,intheoldHayes BuildingatthecornerofHighandWashingtonStreets.
