The Value of Education in Granville
Education became Granville’s primary business as it grew and prospered. Churches, seminaries, and a university were all founded with the ideals of changing the world for the better. For example, founded in 1831 the Granville Literary and Theological Institution became the Granville College in 1845 and then Denison University in 1856. Of course, like many 19th Century institutions, the Granville Literary and Theological Institution was established for the benefit of men. However, because of the community’s value of education, a year later, in 1832, a local resident established the Granville Female Seminary for women. Nearly 30 years later it was sold to a Baptist-sponsored enterprise and became the Young Ladies' Institute. In 1886, the Young Ladies' Institute was renamed Shepardson College for Women and in 1900 became part of Denison University.
