The University eAm, The University of Tennessee, under its maiden name of Blount College, was chartered by the legislature of the NTerritory South of the River Ohio , on September 10, 1794. This organization had varying success for several years. During this time the institution was known by various names. First it was Blount College. Later this was changed to East Tennessee College. However, this wasuchanged to East Tennessee University. In 1879, the name of the University was Changed from HEast Tennessee University to the University of Tennessee.H This act was pregnant with great meaning for the future. The University became peculiarly pledged, in all its departments, to the service and the interests of the state. It became, too, the head and an integral part of the public educational system, standing as the capstone of the educational arch. The state, by this act, pledged the University its own name and reputation, and gave it the assurance of a future in keeping with the new dignity which it had assumed. The General Assembly has shown an active interest in the development of the University, and has made increasingly generous appropriations to it during past sessions. It has formally declared it to be a part of and the head of the public school system of the state. The result has been a material strengthening of the work of the institution in all of its departments. The recent act of the legislature authorizing a bond issue of $1,000,000 for the erection of buildings and improvements, and the levying 0f 21 one-half mill tax for the support of the institution, marks an epoch in its history. The result of this wise legislation has been an infusion of new life into all of the Universityls activities, both within and without its walls; and it is now in a position to give that large measure of service which the state has a right to expect from its principal educational institution.
