The story
The college was originally established in 1938 under the name "New London Junior College". The school adopted its current name, Mitchell College, in 1950.
The college is named after Alfred Mitchell, whose wife Annie Olivia Tiffany Mitchell was a daughter of jeweler and businessman Charles Lewis Tiffany and whose summer home in New London now serves as part of the college's campus.
