r I A e a a a I n 9 Church U.S.A., and the Cumberland Presbyterian Church arose. The validity of the union was denied in a decision of the Supreme Court of Tennessee. This situation brought injury to the school. Administrators tried diHgently to solve the problem. The trustees, ten years after the beginning of the moveinent, reluc- tantly accepted a proposition which gave to the Presbyterian Church U.S.A., title to all the property of the university but required, in effect, that it be bought and paid for. The money for this pmpose came harder than any that had been required before and from the blow Cumberland tinder Presbyterian auspices never fully recovered. Early in 1946, the Tennessee Baptist Convention received Cumberland University from the friendly hands of its trustees. In collaboration with Tennessee College for Women, it has since been operated at the Cumberland plant. Facilities have been and are being expanded and strengthened. Cumberland continues— as it was born, as it has lived through its more than a century of service— a Christian institution. This refers, not to any courses in religion that are being given, but to the atmosphere of campus and dormitories and college halls— to the spirit which makes life full and significant. —So to you, Cumberland— may you go on through other cen- turies of service, and may your destiny be guided by hands as competent and by hearts as devoted as those that planted the seed!

The alimmi, together with those who re- mained oi leaders and laculty, began anew but with the old ideals and principles. Under efficient administrators and laculty, the school lived up to its motto. In 1877 Caruthers Hall was built and occupied by the School of Law. Later, as the school prospered, beauti- ful Memorial ELill was built in 1892. During this period, Cimiberland regained renown over most of the nation. Its graduates had become outstanding in a number of fields of service. Its law school was rated among the three or four best in America. Its athletic teams met such opponents as Alabama and Vanderbilt. The Theological School and the School of Arts and Sciences saw their gradu- ates reach the top in their respective fields. But trial and hardship were to return.
