Historical Sketch of Franklin and Marshall. N a beautiful campus well planted with trees and shrubbery, in the northwestern part of the city of Lancaster, stands the historic institution of Franklin and Marshall.

The college was founded, out of a demand felt in both the Lutheran and Reformed churches, for a supply of men for the ministry, who could be edu- cated in this country instead of Europe. - We must recognize as the founder of this college, that most emi- nent citizen of Pennsylvania, Dr. Benjamin Franklin, who was instrumental in establishing many philanthropic institutions.
