 Oberlin Women and Antebellum Social Movements, Introduction
Indeed, while Oberlin College supported education as a means to enhance the usefulness of women in their religious missions, men and women in the college and the community struggled to define the proper parameters for female labors.[1]
Older women of the community, particularly the wives of college faculty, joined with their younger counterparts to establish a Female Moral Reform Society to keep at bay “that Monster of impurity” that might threaten Oberlin if male lust were left unchecked[5] (see Document 6A and Document 6B).
Interestingly, the men of Oberlin supported this organization by forming their own male auxiliary to the female group, thereby establishing the third largest male contingent in the United States.[6] The Young Ladies Literary Society served as a proving ground not only for women’s rhetorical skills, but also for their organizational capacities (see Document 8).

 Memories of Oberlin College in the 1940s
“Oberlin is Peculiar in That Which is Good” was one of several aphorisms inscribed on the dining room lampshades of the old Oberlin Inn, the comfortable nineteenth-century predecessor of the unfortunate monstrosity that now occupies the corner of Main and East College streets.
A century earlier, President Finney had called it “God’s college,” and there wasn’t much doubt that it was, as was said in the catalog, “an avowedly Christian college.” Many students and faculty went to First Church (“Congregational”) on the corner every Sunday.
The meaning was plain: the College demanded to know where its young women were at all times.
