Thus it was that the Ohio Baptist Convention decided to look for a school site. Granville was chosen not only for its high community character, central location and the offer of a farm site for the campus, but because of the town ' s prosperity and growth prospects in comparison with other small Ohio towns such as Cincinnati and Colum- bus. On December 13, 1831, Principal John Pratt opened Granville Literary and Theological In- stitution. oundat ion em u While the Institute was struggling to remain in existence and prosper, a new and exciting addi- tion, The Granville Female Seminary, opened in 1832. After being an Episcopal school from 1838 to 1860, Reverend Marsena Stone brought the build- ings back into the Baptist fold through a six thousand dollar purchase and the Young Ladies Institute was established. Meanwhile Granville College had become Den- ison University, named after William S. Denison, who, in 1853, donated ten thousand dollars to the school, and by 1886 the two schools had the same president. In 1900 the merger was completed and women received Denison University diplomas. This 1900 university included Granville College, Shepardson College, Doane Academy, the Conser- vatory of Music and schools of Art, Mathematics, and Science. 5

As years passed, Denison turned more and more to extra-curricular activities. Along with less or- ganized frolics (who thought turfing parties were modern innovations?) the Calliopean Society, a secret honorary waving the banner of Truth, Excel- lence and Eloquence was established in 1835. It soon had a rival, the Franklin Literary Society, whic h was founded in 1843. Both went out of exis- tence in 1919 when more exciting groups were well- established and reappeared as the merged Franco- Calliopean Society of today. The Society for Reli- gious Inquiry was the only other formal extra- curricular organization until a group was formed in 1857 to publish the first Denisonian. Included in its sports write-up was the Denison-Kenyon baseball game in which Denison trounced Kenyon, 59-39. This game marked Denison ' s entrance into inter- collegiate sports.
