Wilmington College is a small private college in Wilmington, Ohio, not Delaware. Quakers founded it in 1870 when local Friends bought an unfinished building and adjacent land at auction for $11,334 in August 1870; the site had belonged to the failed Franklin College, set up in Athens County in 1863 by the Garvin brothers. Classes began the following April and the first class graduated in 1875. Its charter was broad, promoting education, religion, morality and the fine arts, open to all regardless of belief. It remains on its original site and is tied to the Wilmington Yearly Meeting of Friends; the Peace Resource Center and Meriam R. Hare Quaker Heritage Center reflect that heritage. The athletics site lists enrollment of 1,050 as of October 2024. Sallie reports an 88.1 percent acceptance rate and says SAT or ACT scores are considered but not required.
