Marion College was a Lutheran junior women's college that operated in Marion, Virginia, from 1873 to 1967.[2][3]
Roanoke College, a sister Lutheran college, adopted Marion's alumnae and maintains their records. Marion's alumnae have a reunion every other year on the Roanoke campus. Roanoke's Marion Hall, constructed in 1968 as a women's residence hall, is named in honor of Marion College.
