Franklin & Marshall College is the thirteenth oldest
institution of higher education in the United States. Benjamin
Rush, who was largely responsible for the establishment of Franklin
College in 1787, anticipated that it would promote the assimilation
of PennsylvaniaA[aŽa[s Germanic population as contributing citizens
of the new republic. The founders included four signers of the
Declaration of Independence, three future governors of
Pennsylvania, and four members of the Constitutional Convention.
Named after Benjamin Franklin, its first benefactor, in 1853
Franklin College merged with Marshall College, which had been
established by the German Reformed Church in Mercersburg,
Pennsylvania, in 1836. Marshall College bought the faculty and the
constellation of intellectual values that guided Franklin &
Marshall over the next half-century.
