weitere InformationEstablished in 1793 with funds bequeathed by Colonel Ephraim Williams, the college is private, residential, and liberal arts, with graduate programs in the history of art and in development economics. The undergraduate enrollment is approximately 2,000 students. The collection of early printed books and manuscripts was originally housed in the Chapin Library, which opened on June 18, 1923, with an initial collection of 9,000 volumes contributed by alumnus Alfred Clark Chapin, Class of 1869. Over the years, Chapin Library has grown to include more than 60,000 volumes (including 3,000 more given by Chapin) as well as 100,000 other artifacts such as prints, photographs, maps, and bookplates. The Chapin Library is now incorporated into the Williams College Libraries, though remaining a distinct collection, which can be consulted in the recently reopened Sawyer Library.
