Founded in 1853 on the merger of Franklin College and Marshall College, F&M is named for Benjamin Franklin, who gave the college its first endowment, and John Marshall. Founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, F&M's early years were bilingual between German and English, serving the local Pennsylvania Dutch community. Originally founded as the German College and Charity School, Franklin College received its charter in 1787 from the Pennsylvania General Assembly as a German-language alternative to the University of Pennsylvania. Among its early supporters were Benjamin Franklin, Robert Morris, and Peter Muhlenberg.Franklin & Marshall was the first coeducational college in America, serving both men and women in an experimental curriculum. Among its first students was Richea Gratz, the first Jewish female college student in the United States. The college offers various majors and minors across 62 fields of study, including the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and other disciplines. The college operates an advanced studies program in Bath, England. All students are undergraduates, and nearly all live on campus. F&M is the 7th highest baccalaureate producer of Fulbright scholars.
