Title	John W. Wilson Academic Transcript
Subject	Education Universities and colleges
Place	Athens (Ohio) Athens County (Ohio)
Description	This 3 by 5-inch (7.62 by 12.7 cm) transcript records the grades of John W. Wilson, who was enrolled at Ohio University from the fall of 1863 through the winter of 1865. Notes on the card read "went into army" and "left on account of death of father." Ohio University was founded in 1804, one year after Ohio became a state. Revolutionary War veterans from New England conceived the idea for a university in 1786, when they purchased land in the Northwest Territory through the Ohio Company of Associates. The Northwest Ordinance, passed in 1787, also encouraged "schools and the means of education." Funding for a university came from revenue earned from leases in two townships in the Ohio Company Purchase. Ohio University opened in 1808 with three students. The school granted its first diplomas in 1815. Enrollment remained small and the university graduated only about 145 students in its first six decades. Its fortunes gradually began to improve late in the 19th century, particularly after it started receiving state support in the early 1880s.
