About Lilly Library
Built in 1959, Lilly Library was renovated and expanded in 1992. We look forward to a new vision for the Campus Life neighborhood, comprising the student center and the library. Our small staff functions as a team to provide exceptional service to the Wabash community. Our library provides a place for research, learning, and reflection as well as collaboration in a warm and inviting setting. The library serves as the hub for research, writing, and media services; the repository to browse and discover books and media; the online access point for digital resources; and the starting point for partnerships with faculty in teaching information literacy and building the library collection.
About Wabash College
Founded in 1832, Wabash College is a private, independent, residential four-year liberal arts college for men. Our 65-acre wooded campus is located 50 miles west of Indianapolis and three hours from Chicago. In addition to the amenities these cities offer, we are near some of the best outdoor recreation in the state. Wabash's distinguishing strength is our emphasis on developing personal connections with undergraduate students in 25 majors. Over 40% of our tenure-track faculty are women. We provide an excellent liberal arts college education to a student body that has a high percentage of first-generation college students. We also provide an exciting initiative for the retention of traditionally under-served populations in higher education.
As of May 2020, the value of Wabash's endowment was approximately $311 million, which places Wabash among the highest colleges in the nation in per-student endowment. Wabash College has a long tradition of offering one of the most generous scholarship programs in the country. A majority of Wabash students enter graduate or professional school within five years of graduating from Wabash. Each year, approximately 25-30 percent of Wabash graduates enroll in graduate and professional schools, including 8-10 percent in medical and law schools and about 20 percent in other graduate arts and sciences programs.
