Brief History of the University of Tennessee The great institution of learningr which is now known as the University of Tennessee was, one hundred and thirtyethree years ago, only a small frame structure located on the present site of the Bur- well building. It was founded by the first legislative body of the l ferritory South of the River Ohio, September 4, 179+, and was at that time called Blount College, after Governor William Blount; then territorial governor, who used his influence in establishing the college in this location of the Territory. Barbara Blount, daughter of Governor Blount, was the first co- ed who attended this institution. Barbara Blount, one of the present girls, dormitories, was named for her. According to authentic reports, this was the first institution of higher learning in the new world to admit women. This University also has the distinction of being the first non-denominational institution in this country. Nevertheless, eight of its thirteen presidents have been ministers. In 1807, Blount College was rechartered by the Legislature of Tennessee, and became known as East Tennessee College. After that date women were barred from the College until 1893, when the co-educational feature was again adopted. In 1808, East Ten- nessee College was moved to Poplar Springs, the location of which is HOV' known as the twenty-six hundred block of lVIagnolia Avenue. In 1826, the College was moved to the present hilltop location and Old College was built for its habitat; this was for a number of years the only building on the campus. East and West Colleges, buildings on either side of Old College, were erected in 18-10. The College was then given a broader scope theoretically by being re- christened East Tennessee University. The United States, under the Morrill Act of 1862, donated the proceeds of the sale of public lands to the State. The endowment was transferred to the University, and the Agricultural and Mechani- cal Colleges were added in 1869. Ten years later this school was officially recognized by the authorities as being the State Institution, and it became known by its present name, the University of Ten- nessee. From this time, the University has served as the head of the public school system of Tennessee, Hthe capstone 0f the educational arch,H with the reputation and support of Tennessee behind it.
