With increasing enrollment, it purchased the forty-three acre Satterthwaite Farm and erected dormitories, classrooms and a dining hall. At that time, it was known as the Salem Bible Institute or Salem Bible College. It sought out religious affiliation with the Allegheny Wesleyan Methodist Connection (AWMC) in 1973 and it continues to remain supported by the Wesleyan Methodists to this day.[3] In the same year, the Rev. James Beers was appointed as the president of the university, which assumed its current name of Allegheny Wesleyan College.[3]
