Wan m Tvev.1'3!.i:6.: Tennessee Agricultural And Industrial State College Realizing the growing need for well trained teachers and vomtionai training , the General Assembly of Tennessee, hy Legislative Act of 1909. created Agricultural and Industrial State Normal School. The genuine service rendered to the C01111110111vealth since the actual beginning of: the institution in 1912 has, in a large measure, met these needs. The location of the institution in Nashville because of its educational environment, easy accessibility and healthfuhiess is an enduring testimony to the Wisdom of its founders. . A. and I. State Normal is young enough to be progressive and modern. yet old enough to have stability; young enough while training its sons and daughters for the tasks of today to look forward with them to the needs of a tomorrow of happy promise, yet old enough to possess traditions of the past. A. and 1. State Normal is large enough to afford many and 'aried in- tel'ests and activities, yet small enough to make pessihle close fellowship between students and intimate contact between students and faculty. The life of the campus is denmeratie in the best. sense. A student is judged by what he is rather than by what he has. As compared with other institutions of equal rank the expenses of A. and I. State Normal are very moderate, yet. the quality of the work and the wheiesomeness of the environment is in no sense lteheapfi Much of the value is gained fyom the activities of the campus Which are apart from the regular courses of instruction. The Y. M. C. A. and Y. W1 0. A. hold regular meetings and carry out a comprehensive program of work each year Many of the affairs of the student body are governed by the Student Council, which is composed of the presidents of the several classes. The School Chorus, the Orchestra and the Monk and XVemen's Glee Clubs enable those who have musical talent to develop it under able instruction. Sais Society serves as a stimulus to greater intellectual activity. Elec- tion to the society is based on a general average of. 8570 with a minimum grade of 8070 in am' subject and geneini excellence in department.
