HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE lative body of the mTerritory South of the Ohio Riveiw 011 September 4, 1794, One day later than the first institution of learning west of $ the Alleghenies. It was at that time named for the governor of the territory, Blount College. Very seen it opened its doors for students in a small frame building in the heart of what is 110w Knoxville, but where then were the very outskirts of the Village. Women were ad- mitted 0n the same terms as men, and recent Harvard studies have revealed the fact that our college was the first institution of higher learning in the New World to admit women to its sacred halls. This little college, thus, antedated the formation of the State of Tennessee by the space of two years, and it has grown with, and as an integral part of the State throughout its history. The first change in the function of the college took place in 1808, when it became known as the East Tennessee College, and after that date the names of the women disappeared from the college rolls for many decades. In 1840 it was given a, broader scope, theoretically, by being reerhist- ened East Tennessee University, and under this name it experienced the first great period of development. About this time the University sold Some of her lands and erected two dormitories known more recently as East College and West College. The front part of North College was erected at the same time for pro- fessors, residences. During the years 1841-42 and 1843-44 a well edited perio- dical called The University Magazine was conducted by inei'nbers of the senior class. The military feature was introduced by Albert Muller Lea, a West Point graduate. A company was organized and a uniform adopted. At the end of three years the military system was dropped. During the Civil War the University was closed, since every student and professor capable of bearing arms joined the armed forces of the eembattants. The buildings were used as hospitals, and small forts were constructed upon the campus, which had been removed in 1820 to the present ttHillW Soon after the end of hostilities the Government advised and assisted the University to take advantage of the Merrill Act of the Congress of 1862. This act provided for the establishi'nent 0f the Tennessee Agricultural College in con- neetion with the University. Among other conditions, the University was re- quired to have aeemmnedations for two hundred and seventy-five students. and to own at least two hundred acres of land for an experimental farm, all of which should be worth not less than $125,000. Accordingly in 186-9, the Agricultural and Engineering Departments were added to the school. Three-feurths of a mile west of the University a farm containing two hundred and eighty-five acres had been purchased at the cost of $30,000. Ten years later the Universitv was officially recognized by the authorities as being the State institution, being re- named MThe University of Tennessee? and given a Statewide representative heard of trustees. T HE University of Tennessee was founded by an act of the first legis- Pagc Twenty-One
