- "Founded in 1832, Wabash is a private liberal arts college whose mission is to educate men to think critically, act responsibly, lead effectively, and live humanely.

Wabash has built on its rich and storied history that began when a group of Dartmouth-educated ministers founded the College on what was then the western frontier. For nearly 200 years, Wabash has educated countless doctors, lawyers, business leaders, teachers, scientists, and entrepreneurs" (Source: https://www.wabash.edu/aboutwabash/).
