- Comment: It sounds potentially notable, but the references are extremely barebones: a link to the university's archive about them, a school's history page, and a passing mention in a book doesn't really cut it. The Drover's Wife (talk) 13:10, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
Oberlin Academy and Preparatory Department of Oberlin College should redirect here. A link from Oberlin College should also be made.
