A LooK AT THE PAST -- One hundred twenty-five years ago, on February 14, 1835, the Ohio Legislature granted a new charter to what was then called the Marietta Collegiate Institute and Western Seminary. This was the first time that the institution was ever officially called by the name Marietta College, and so it is from this date that the college tracesits history. The roots of Marietta College extend, however, far deeper into the past, they extended back to 1797, when the Muskingum Academy was founded. The beginning was quite unimpos- ing by our standards. 'When the Mari- etta Institute of Education was founded in 1830, the emphasis was shifted. The Institute of Education was founded by Rev. Luther Bingham, who was in many ways the true father of Marietta College, and continued until 1832 when a new charter was granted by the Marietta Collegiate Institute and West- ern Seminary. This, in turn, was replaced in 1835 by Marietta College. Thus, within forty-seven years after the landing of the first pioneers at Marietta, the town had an institu- tion of college standing. The early spirit of the college was broad- ly unsectarianf' Although founded firmly on Christian principles, the college was never loyal to any particular denomination. Each of the first three presidents of Marietta College had been a minister for some time, and, so therefore, religion was heavily stressed. Stu- dents in those days were required to attend a morning prayer session each week-day and regular church services twice on Sunday. This practice was not very popular, of course, since on some days it was very cold at 4:30 A.M. when the sessions were held. 1 I 5 I 4+ l .-.s.:.ty.L.v.-:,:..s-4 1f15':,::.3g1,1...ig... :rg,,.,.1:v. .fir-,,q.,, .,.. .,,,,,:.-N ,W-AH 7 Q I I
