OUR INSTRUCTORS East Tennessee State College was established by the act of the General Assembly in 1909. As an insti¬ tution of higher learning, it recognizes two funda¬ mental responsibilities in its service to the State. The first responsibility is that of preparing teachers for the public schools of the State; the second is that of giving general, pre-professional, and vocational education on a college level to those students who do not wish to enter teaching. East Tennessee State College is located on one- hundred seventy-seven acres of land at the foot of the high mountains of the Appalachian system. The campus is so located that it offers opportunity for artistic landscape gardening, and it has a woodland which is being developed into an arboretum. There are many modern and well equipped classrooms and dormitories to meet the needs of the students. East Tennessee State College has high standards, and it is accredited by the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education and by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
