History [edit]

Franklin Higher (18th century) [edit]

Franklin Higher was chartered on June 6, 1787, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on the site of a former brewery.^[5] It was named for Benjamin Franklin, who donated £200 to the new institution.^[vi] Founded by four prominent ministers from the German Reformed Church and the Lutheran Church, in conjunction with numerous Philadelphians, the schoolhouse was established equally a German college whose goal was "to preserve our present republican organization of government," and "to promote those improvements in the arts and sciences which alone render nations respectable, swell and happy." Its showtime trustees included 5 signers of the Declaration of Independence, ii members of the Ramble Convention and seven officers of the Revolutionary War.^[7]

The school'south offset classes were taught on July 16, 1787, with instruction taking identify in both English and German, making it the get-go bilingual college in the United states of america.^{[8] [ citation needed ]}

The first class consisted of 78 men and 36 women; Franklin was the first higher in the United States to take female students. "Withal, the coed policy was soon abandoned. Coeducation was not revived at the Higher for another 182 years."^[9]

In July 1789, Franklin Higher went into debt because its annual tuition of 4 pounds was not enough to cover operating costs. Enrollment dwindled to just a few students and eventually the college existed as zip more an almanac meeting of the lath of trustees. In an endeavor to help the ailing school, an university was established in 1807. For the next iii decades, Franklin Higher and Franklin Academy managed to limp along financially, with instructors supplementing their income with private tutoring.^{[8] [ commendation needed ]}

Marshall Higher (19th century) [edit]

Having grown from a Reformed Church academy, Marshall College opened in 1836 in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania.^[10] The schoolhouse was named for the 4th Chief Justice of the United States John Marshall, who had died the previous year. Information technology was founded with the belief that harmony between knowledge and will was necessary to create a well-rounded person.

During its first year, 18 students were taught by Frederick Augustus Rauch and his banana, Samuel A. Budd. Rauch, an acclaimed young scholar and theologian from Germany who authored the first American textbook in psychology, too served equally the college's president.^{[ citation needed ]}

The schoolhouse's small faculty grew in both size and status with the addition of John Williamson Nevin and another German scholar, church building historian Philip Schaff. Nevin became the college's president upon Rauch's sudden death in 1841.^{[ commendation needed ]}

Life at Marshall College was regimented. Students were required to nourish forenoon prayers—sometimes as early as 5 a.yard.—and were expected to study in their rooms for vi hours a day. In addition, they were forbidden to associate with people of questionable moral character.^{[ citation needed ]}

Marshall College quickly gained national recognition and attracted students from a large geographical area, with some coming as far abroad as the West Indies. However, despite being initially well-funded, Marshall College began to experience fiscal difficulties of its own. By the late 1840s, financial back up and enthusiasm amongst the local community had well-nigh disappeared and the school was in danger of closing its doors permanently.^{[ citation needed ]}

In 1835, the schoolhouse's Debating Order was renamed Diagnothian Literary Society at the suggestion of seminary student Samuel Reed Fisher. That June, Diagnothian was divided into ii friendly rivals to encourage debate. Diagnothian retained its original name, while the new society was named Goethean, in honor of German language philosopher and poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The ii organizations sponsored orations and debated politics, philosophy and literature. They merged in 1955, simply became separate entities again in 1989. The Diagnothian Lodge is the oldest student organization on campus.^{[ commendation needed ]}

Merger [edit]

On Dec six, 1849, Franklin College and Marshall Higher began to consider merging every bit a way to secure the future of both institutions. 3 years later, on June seven, 1853, the combined higher was formally dedicated at Lancaster's Fulton Hall. The merger created an all-male Reformed Church institution that combined the resources of both schools. James Buchanan, four years prior to becoming the 15th President of the United states of america, was named president of the first Franklin & Marshall board of trustees.

The college's first two presidents, Emanuel Vogel Gerhart, a Marshall College graduate, and Nevin struggled to continue the young school afloat with an inadequate endowment. The hope of creating a reputable liberal arts establishment fueled their efforts to push on. "No 2d- or third-rate school will do," said Nevin at the formal dedication of the united college. "We must either have no college at all or else accept i that may be in all respects worthy of the proper name."^{[ commendation needed ]}

The citizens of Lancaster agreed to donate $25,000 towards the construction of a building for the merged higher. A site on the east end of the city was proposed well-nigh where the new Lancaster County Prison was constructed in 1851. Two parallel streets in the area were renamed, one for Franklin and one for Marshall.^[8] However, Buchanan ultimately rejected the proposal, saying "I practise not recall the best location for a literary institution should be between a court house and a jail." Instead, Buchanan and the lath selected a site at the northwestern end of Lancaster. Known locally as "Gallows Hill," it was the former site of Lancaster's public executions and the highest point of footing in city. At the laying of the building'south cornerstone in 1853, Henry Harbaugh, a Marshall College graduate and pastor of the Reformed Church of Lancaster noted that the city's everyman point was the prison. Harbaugh stated: "Thank God! The College stands higher than the jail. Educational activity should be lifted up and let crime sink to the lowest depths!" The distinctive, tall-towered construction, designed in the Gothic Revival mode, was defended on May 16, 1856, as "Recitation Hall." Recitation Hall came to exist known equally "Old Principal" and the footing as "College Hill".^[11]

Franklin and Marshall College took as its motto the Latin phrase Lux et Lex, which translates in English to "Light and Law". This reversed the Marshall College motto Lex et Lux. While legend has it that the switch was the result of an fault past an engraver, it has since been suggested that the words deliberately reflect its namesakes Benjamin Franklin ("calorie-free") and John Marshall ("law").

The college seal depicts profiles of Franklin and Marshall looking to the left. It has been suggested that this represents the two leaders looking westward to the time to come expansion of the U.s.a.. Despite his nominal secondary priority, John Marshall is on the left of the seal and Benjamin Franklin is on the right. Merely Franklin's entire caput is shown, while Marshall's contour is cut off and far in the background. Speculation has suggested that this demonstrates an unspoken tendency to favor Franklin'southward legacy over Marshall's. This preference became explicit when the school celebrated Benjamin Franklin's 300th altogether but ignored John Marshall'south 250th birthday during sequent semesters of the 2005–2006 academic twelvemonth. The school recognized Marshall's milestone birthday only after a petition was signed by a significant portion of students and faculty.^{[ citation needed ]}

Old Main, Goethean Hall, and Diagnothian Hall were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.^[four]

Tardily 19th century [edit]

In 1872, the Franklin and Marshall University, an all-male person prep school, opened on campus. When it closed in 1943, it was the last prep schoolhouse in America to be directly affiliated with a private college or university. The academy'south first building, East Hall, was constructed in 1872. A 2d and larger edifice, Hartman Hall, replaced it in 1907. Both buildings were used past the college later on the university folded. Hartman Hall was demolished in 1975 followed by E Hall in 1978.

College Days, the outset student paper, began publication in 1873. Later educatee newspapers included The College Student (1881–1914), The F&M Weekly (1891–1915), The Student Weekly (1915–1964), The Blue and The White (1990–1992), and The Higher Reporter (1964–present).

Oriflamme, the Franklin and Marshall Higher yearbook, was established in 1883.

In 1887, the centennial celebration of Franklin College was held. By then, over 100 students were enrolled at F&One thousand.

1899 saw the germination of the college's first theatre grouping, the Franklin & Marshall Dramatic Association. The side by side year, it was renamed the Green Room Club. The lodge performed plays at Lancaster's Fulton Opera House. Because the college admitted only men, the female roles were played by local actresses. In 1937, the Green Room Theatre opened on campus. F&M alumni who have performed on the Green Room stage include Oscar-winning film director Franklin J. Schaffner and actors Roy Scheider and Care for Williams.

By 1945, with near young men in the armed services, the college population dwindled to just under 500 students and 28 faculty members. The stop of the war brought an influx of students pursuing degrees under the G.I. Bill. By 1946, enrollment had swelled to over 1,200 students (including 4 women in the pre-med program), causing a sudden critical shortage of faculty.

The 1950s and 1960s brought more college expansion and structure, including North Museum (1953); Marshall-Buchanan Residence Hall (1956), Appel Infirmary (1959), Schnader Residence Hall (1959), Mayser Physical Didactics Middle (1962), Benjamin Franklin Residence Halls (1964), Pfeiffer Scientific discipline Complex (now Hackman Physical Science Laboratory) (1967), Grundy Observatory (1967), Whitely Psychology Laboratory (1968), and Thomas Residence Hall (1968).

When he was accused of urging students to burn their draft cards, he was suspended with pay for a calendar month while the higher investigated. The incident generated controversy in the local printing, with some residents ordering him to "get the hell out of Lancaster" and "go to Russia." Though Mezey was reinstated, he left the college the following spring. This became known equally the "Mezey Thing."^[14]

In the spring of 1969, blackness students protested the concluding examination of the history course "The Blackness Experience in America." Demanding an amends from the faculty for exploitation and an "A" in the course, the students argued that no white human being can test them on their "black." The twenty-four hours earlier the examination, the professors agreed to the apology, but insisted that the students take the concluding exam. On May 22, the solar day of the test, 40 black students—many of whom were not enrolled in the grade—blocked the entrance to the exam room in Erstwhile Main. The professors attempted to paw out the exam, but the protesters confiscated them. Retreating to Goethean Hall next door, the professors and staff met to evaluate the situation. The protesters followed them to the edifice, blocked all doors and exits and held them earnest, declaring that they would not release the faculty members until they received an apology and immunity from punishment. The standoff lasted until midnight, when the professors agreed to allow the students to grade themselves. The students relented and released the hostages. The higher's Professional Standards Committee later overturned the determination, declaring that the professors must form their students.^{[ commendation needed ]}

Franklin College had enrolled female students during its first few years in the eighteenth century, to its university for teenagers. Franklin and Marshall College was an all-male institution. Women were permitted to attend summertime schoolhouse classes at F&M start in 1942. Continuing a tendency at gender exclusive schools across the state, the Lath of Trustees announced on January 17, 1969, that it had voted to admit women to F&M, a decision that was supported by male students.

Greek system [edit]

Chi Phi, founded on December 1, 1854, remains the only fraternity at F&M with a fraternity firm actually on the campus grounds. In 1929, through a special lease understanding with the college, the chapter built its business firm at 603 Race Avenue. The house was defended and opened in 1929, during the chapter'southward 75th anniversary celebration. During World War II, with school and fraternity omnipresence down, the house was converted to a temporary infirmary. In 1998, due to a series of disagreements with the college, the charter was terminated and the fraternity was evicted.

In April 1988, the college's Board of Trustees voted to no longer officially recognize the school's fraternities and sororities. This was known as "derecognition." At the time, three of the school's fraternities had recently lost their national charters due to diverse offenses. In an try to repair the organization, the college administration proposed eight specific reforms to the Greek Quango, which were ultimately rejected by all of the organizations. The result was derecognition. This was highly unpopular with the pupil body, only it served to remove the college from any liability associated with hazing and underage alcohol corruption, issues that were in the national public eye at that time. The Greek system continued, admitting without financial or administrative support from the college. Subsequently several years, a small number of fraternities struggled with health lawmaking violations, fires, and one adventitious alcohol-related decease. Attributable to several factors, including dwindling financial support from fraternity and sorority alumni and legitimate concerns nigh student academics, wellness and safe, the college announced on May 19, 2004, that it would reinstate a new, revised Greek organization beginning on September i, 2004, afterwards a sixteen-year absenteeism.^[36]

As part of the new agreement between the school's Greek organizations and the administration, fraternity and sorority houses are required to submit to weekly "life safety" inspections by schoolhouse officials, and inspections by the local fire department, police department, and role of public health conducted once per semester. An Inter-Fraternity Council consisting of representatives from all fraternities and brash past a member of the kinesthesia, too every bit a Greek Council consisting of members of all Greek organizations (male person and female person), similarly advised past a faculty member, were re-established to deal with issues facing the Greek community and advising the administration on Greek issues.

As recently every bit the autumn of 2008, relations between the assistants and the Greek system were strained. The administration placed a month-long moratorium on all Greek social events. During this period, the Interfraternity Council revised protocols governing parties, and the revisions were canonical by the administration resulting in the lifting of the moratorium, but the administration committed to more sternly enforcing the newly agreed-upon rules. At that place were also tensions between some members of the Greek organisation and Lancaster City, arising chiefly from incidents of criminal offence.

Concerns over the condition of Greek housing has led the administration and Greek organizations to examine different possibilities for improving the quality of housing options in order for such houses to receive continued support and approval from the college. In some cases, the result has been the temporary closure of Greek housing until the buildings can be brought up to school and town safety standards.

Greek life is a major part of F&M'due south customs. As of the spring of 2014, 43.7% of the F&M student body are members of the Greek Customs.^[37]

Wear visitor [edit]

In 1999, a company based in Verona, Italy began producing items of clothing in a vintage 1950s collegiate-style with the words "Franklin and Marshall" on them. F&Yard alumni began to report seeing F&M merchandise for auction in Europe, which puzzled the higher.^[41]

In 2001, Tim McGraw posed for publicity photos wearing a "Franklin Marshall Wrestling" T-shirt,^[42] one of which was included in the CD booklet for his album Set This Circus Down. When many asked Franklin & Marshall College virtually its nonexistent connectedness to the singer, the college investigated and discovered that the Franklin Marshall Clothing company was using its name without permission.^[43] In 2003, the college licensed the proper name to the company so it could sell its products, many of which omit Franklin & Marshall's ampersand, in the United States.^{[41] [43]}

The article of clothing company has stated in news reports that its designs are "inspired by the American Vintage College spirit, equally exemplified by Franklin & Marshall College."^[44] Most of its products are made in Italy and are much more expensive than the Champion-produced licensed clothes sold past the college's bookstore. As of 2011^[update] the company has stores in 6 cities: Athens, Dubai, Milan, Tokyo, and Paris, and also sells through high-end stores like Harrods in Uk. Although it no longer sells its products in the United States due to poor sales, in 2010 the visitor pledged to donate $130,000 to the college's scholarship fund.^[45]

In 2013 Franklin & Marshall became a sponsor of Hellas Verona, a football (soccer) squad in the Italian Serie A.^[46]
