In 1862 the Meigs County Christian Cooperation (a division of the Disciples of Christ Church) purchased the Albany Manual Labor University. This school, founded in 1851, accepted students regardless of race or gender. Students could borrow tuition money from the college and work on the campus to pay back the loans. Renaming the school Franklin College, the Meigs County Christian Cooperation introduced religion to the school and abandoned manual labor. More than 200 students attended Franklin's primary, preparatory, and collegiate departments. Franklin College did not accept African Americans, but the school remained coeducational. Most students in the collegiate department were female, since many of the men had left school to fight in the Civil War. In 1865, Franklin College moved to Wilmington, Ohio. Later, the Society of Friends purchased Franklin College. The school is now known as Wilmington College.
