The YMCA, established at Oberlin College in 1881, and the YWCA, established in 1894, were voluntary associations of students dedicated to social and religious work for the purpose of building Christian character in their members. Oberlin College provided on-campus quarters for both organizations, whose staffs were paid out of an annual grant from the College. Under the presidency of William E. Stevenson (1946-59), the relationship of the YMCA and YWCAs to the larger religious life of the College began to be studied. In 1967, the Religious Interests Committee of the faculty recommended bringing a campus ministry to the college. By 1973, both YM and YWCAs had been discontinued at Oberlin.
