History of Wiilmington College 1q A group of devoted Christian people met at Tuppers Plain, Meigs County, Ohio, on January 19, 1863, and decided to found a college known as Franklin College. The college was first opened at Albany inthe County of Athens on May 8, 1863. A few sessions of school were held at Albany after which the college was moved to Wilmington, Ohio. A building was begun and the cornerstone laid July 4, 1866. A short period of school was held after which Franklin College. was sold on August 17, 1870, to the Society of Friends who reorganized the institution under the name of Wilmington College. The first faculty was organized in 1871 and in 1875 the first class was graduated. The first President of W. C. was Lewis A. Estes in 1871, followed by Benjamin True- blood, David W. Dennis, James B. Unthank, Albert J. Brown, Samuel H. Hodgins, J. Edwin Jay, Dr. Henry G. Williams, Dr. B. O. Skinner, and Dr. Walter L. Collins, who at the pres- ent time is fulfilling his duties. In 1917, the National Normal University of Lebanon transferred all their records of students and Alumni to Wilmington College, thereby strengthening this school with its added endowment and influence. The College is a Quaker school with the Wilmington Yearly Meeting governing the administration, yet it is open to students of all denominations. It is essentially Christian and with this 'fundamental A-the aim has been to offer a Christian education in which knowledge gleaned from books is linked and intermingled with the highest ideals and standards of living.
