	Trinity College 2016 University Academic Rankings
Trinity College is a private liberal arts college in Hartford, Connecticut. Founded in 1823, it is the second-oldest college in the state of Connecticut after Yale University. The college is an urban campus. Coeducational since 1969, the college enrolls 2,300 students. Trinity offers 38 majors and 26 minors, with a student to faculty ratio of 10:1. The college is a member of the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC). U.S. News & World Report ranked Trinity tied for 43rd in its 2016 ranking of best national liberal arts colleges in the United States. For the class of 2018, Trinity received 7,507 applications, and accepted 2,480 (33.0%). History \| Early history In Connecticut, a state dominated by Congregationalists, Episcopalians sought for years to set up their own college. The 1818 Connecticut Constitution disestablished the Congregationalist church and provided an opening, which was taken by Bishop Thomas Brownell. Yale alumni protested vigorously, but Washington College opened in 1824 to nine students. It was renamed Trinity College in 1845; the original campus consisted of two Greek Revival buildings, one housing a chapel, library, and lecture rooms and the other, a dormitory. The trustees sold the campus to the city in 1872. They moved the college to an 80 acre site on the western edge of Hartford. Enrollment reached 122 in 1892. President Remsen Ogilby (1920-43) enlarged the campus, and more than doubled the endowment. The faculty grew from 25 to 62, and the student body from 167 to 530 men. Under President Keith Funston (1943-51), returning veterans expanded the enrollment to 900. New campus In 1872, Trinity College was persuaded by the state to move from its downtown â€œCollege Hill" location (now Capitol Hill, site of the state capitol building) to its current 100-acre (40 ha) campus a mile southwest. Although the college sold its land overlooking the Park River and Bushnell Park in 1872, it did not complete its move to its Gallows Hill campus until 1878. The original plans for the Gallows Hill site were drawn by the noted Victorian architect William Burges but were too ambitious and too expensive to be fully realized. Only one section of the proposed campus plan, the Long Walk, was completed. Twentieth century Trinity ended the nineteenth century as an institution primarily serving the Hartford area. The founding of the University of Hartford in 1957, however, allowed Trinity to focus on becoming a regional institution rather than a local one. The early years of the century were primarily growth years for Trinity. Enrollment was increased to 500 men. In 1932, under President Remsen Ogilby, the Gothic chapel was completed and became the symbol of Trinity College. It replaced the Seabury chapel which had become too small for the student body. In 1962, Connecticut Public Television (CPTV) began its first broadcasts in the Trinity College Public Library, and later in Boardman Hall, a science building on campus. In 1968, the trustees of Trinity College voted to make a commitment to enroll (with financial aid as needed) more minority students. This decision was preceded by a siege of the administrative offices in the Downes and Williams Memorial buildings during which Trinity students would not allow the president or trustees to leave until they agreed to the resolution. Less than one year later, Trinity College became coeducational and admitted its first female students, as transfers from Vassar College. Today, women make up about 50 percent of Trinity's student body. Academics Trinity offers three types of degrees: B.A., B.S., as well as M.A. in a few subjects. In total, the college offers 38 majors. Students also have the option of creating a self-designed major or adding an interdisciplinary or dep ... [more on wikipedia]
