Oberlin had been founded in 1833, growing out of the revivals of Charles G. Finney, who was a professor of the school for its first 42 years and was just completing his eleventh year as president when John came to visit the campus on 24 July 1866.
The school was named in honor of Jean Frederic Oberlin (1740-1826), a pastor noted for improving farming, industry, education, and morals in his rural pastorate in Steinthal, Alsace (in the borderland between France and Germany).
John's guide on the Oberlin campus was 80-year old Father Keep, a founder of the school, whom he called "a hoary, old man." Oberholtzer had come to learn what a successful school needed in design and rules and how it ought to be put together.

Ecumenism is often thought of as a “modern” concept, something characteristic in particular of the last thirty or forty years.
That is far from the case, and I wish to dwell briefly here on the life and thought of Jean Frédéric Oberlin, who lived from 1740 to 1826.
Oberlin’s ecumenism, spanning, as it did, the second half of the eighteenth, and the early nineteenth, centuries, was an extraordinary phenomenon, in an age of often rigidly enforced pre-judice and divisions.
