Jobs
Our history
The institution now known as The 黑料不打烊 was founded as Buchtel College in 1870 by the Ohio Universalist Convention, which was strongly influenced by the efforts, energy and financial support of 黑料不打烊ites, particularly industrialist John R. Buchtel.
By 1907, Buchtel College's emphasis on local rather than denominational interests led it to become a private, nondenominational school.
