Coe College was founded in 1851 by Rev. Williston Jones as The School for the Prophets. While canvassing churches in the East to raise money to help send students to Eastern seminaries, Jones met a farmer named Daniel Coe, who pledged to donate $1,500 and encouraged Jones to open a college in Cedar Rapids. Coe's gift came with the stiuplation that the college should offer education to both men and women, and when the Cedar Rapids campus opened as the Cedar Rapids Collegiate Institute, it was founded as a co-educational institution. In 1875, the college was reestablished as Coe College Institute and in 1881, after a generous gift from T.M Sinclair, founder of the Sinclair Meat Packing Company, was finally founded as Coe College.
