Allen ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the role of American historical societies in collecting and preserving history during the nineteenth century. By looking at what these organizations accrued and how they presented their collections, we can better understand how people in the nineteenth century viewed their past. This dissertation, however, argues that historical societies did more than compile and conserve the past. It contends that these historical agencies, through various methods, influenced the way the public perceived and, consequently, believed to be true about their history.

The collection consists largely of diaries, letters, financial records, sketches, wills, and other documents. Individuals represented include Philip and Margaret Lawrence Lindsley, Adrian Van Sinderen Lindsley, John Berrien and Sallie McGavock Lindsley, William Walker, Luke and Percie Warner Lea, Louise Grundy Lindsley, Annie Lindsley Warden, and Margaret Lindsley Warden, the donor of these papers. Miss Warden had donated two diaries and brought other material for copying as early as the 1960s; the remaining papers were brought to the Tennessee State Library and Archives shortly before her death in 2007. The collection, first processed in 1969, was reprocessed in order to incorporate the new material, eliminate duplicates, and provide a more logical order. Other papers relating to this family, and including 18 letters written by John Berrien Lindsley, may be found in the Margaret (Warner) White (1889-1981) Papers, ca. 1777-1962 (VIII-F3, microfilm #1239).

PUB DATE 2002-12-00 NOTE 37p.; A Review with Commentary of Paul K.

PUB TYPE Historical Materials (060) Book/Product Reviews (072) Opinion Papers (120) EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Educational History; *Leaders; Philanthropic Foundations; *Teacher Education IDENTIFIERS Educational Leadership; Institutional History; *Peabody (George); Vanderbilt University TN ABSTRACT The paper presents a historical overview which begins in the year 1785, takes George Peabody through his life activities, and ends with Peabody College's becoming part of Vanderbilt University. The paper looks at a multifaceted history covering 217 years of 6 consecutive charter-connected educational institutions in Nashville, Tennessee, that culminate in the present institution, Vanderbilt University's Peabody College. It examines schooling in frontier Nashville before Tennessee became a state (1796) and before and after it became the Athens of the South; the relationship between Peabody College's predecessors and neighboring Vanderbilt University and the merger that occurred in 1979; and the philanthropic intent of George Peabody and Peabody College's continuing pursuit of his dream to uplift the U.S. South and advance the nation through professionally prepared teachers serving public schools.

ATHENS OF THE SOUTH: COLLEGE LIFE IN NASHVILLE, A NEW SOUTH CITY, 1897-1917 by Mary Ellen Pethel Under the Direction of Dr. Wendy Hamand Venet ABSTRACT The Progressive Era affected the South in different ways from other regions of the United States. Because Southern society was more entrenched in patriarchy and traditional social strictures, Nashville provides an excellent lens in which to assess the vision of a New South city. Known as ―Athens of the South,‖ Nashville legitimized this title with the emergence of several colleges and universities of regional and national prominence in the 1880s and 1890s. In the first two decades of the twentieth century, Nashville‘s universities solidified their status as reputable institutions, with Vanderbilt and Fisk Universities garnering national prominence. Within Nashville, local colleges, including Ward Belmont College, David Lipscomb University, Peabody College, Roger Williams University, and Meharry Medical College shaped and were shaped by the growing city.
