HistoryThe school was founded in 1904 and is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church.[2] It was named for Henry G. Davis and his son-in-law Stephen B. Elkins, who were both members of the United States Senate from West Virginia.[3] The Senator, the college newspaper, was founded in December 1922. AthleticsThe school's athletic teams, known as the Senators, compete in the NCAA Division II Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC).[4] Men's sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming, tennis, and indoor & outdoor track; while women's sports include triathlon, acrobatics & tumbling, basketball, cross country, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, indoor & outdoor track, and volleyball. The Senators will leave the G-MAC at the end of the 2018–19 school year to join the Mountain East Conference. This move reunites D&E with most of its historic rivals from the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, in which D&E was a member from the league's founding in 1924 until its demise in 2013.[5] EnrollmentThe college enrolls 846 students, with a 12:1 student/faculty ratio.[1] Campus buildings1890-1924
