Wabash College is a small private liberal arts college for men, located in Crawfordsville, Indiana. It was founded in 1832 by a number of men including several Dartmouth College graduates.


The school's sports teams are called the Little Giants. They participate in the NCAA's Division III and in the North Coast Athletic Conference. Every year since 1911, Wabash College plays rival DePauw University in the Monon Bell Classic.

Wabash College is a member of the Great Lakes Colleges Association.

Over its nearly two hundred years of history, Wabash faculty has included such influential intellectuals as poet Ezra Pound.

Wabash, along with Hampden-Sydney College and Morehouse College and two other schools, are the only five remaining all-men's liberal arts colleges in the United States. In contrast, there are many more all-female liberal arts colleges.

A substantial endowment places Wabash amongst the top 120 colleges and universities in the nation, and on a per-student basis, amongst the top 25. This endowment drives a generous scholarship program. The benefactors that have funded this endowment include the pharmaceutical industrialist Eli Lilly, the company he founded, and his heirs. The school's library, named after Lilly, houses a portion of the Eli Lilly company archives, along with Earlham College, Connor Prairie, and the Indiana Historical Society.

Notable alumni include professional football player Pete Metzelaars, author Dan Simmons (who dedicated his novel Illium to the college), the twenty-eighth Vice President of the United States Thomas Riley Marshall (under Woodrow Wilson), and one-time AT&T CEO Robert Allen (after whom the fieldhouse is named).
