Black Student Records at Oberlin College

Listings and statistics of Black former students and graduates of Oberlin College beginning in 1835.

"Catalogue and Record of Colored Students, 1835-1862"

This list was compiled and titled by Professor Henry Cowles in 1862. This list includes both graduates and non-graduates, separated into men and women students. Some discrepancies in numbers and years exist between Cowles' list and the 1908 General Catalogue of Oberlin College, which is listed in a second column next to Cowles' original list.
