AUGUST 20, SATURDAY Commencement, 8:00 p.m. — 5 — THE UNIVERSITY The University of Chattanooga is an accredited, privately controlled and endowed, coeducational college, with a strong liberal arts orientation. It offers courses of study leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bache lor of Science, Bachelor of Music, Master of Education, Master of Arts in Teaching, Master of Business Administration and Master of Science. Located in the center of the industrial South, in an area of great natural beauty and historic interest, it provides in a metropolitan setting the advantages of a small campus atmosphere. ACCREDITATION Accreditation is a measure of standing among educational institutions. To be accredited means that the University has met standards established by an accrediting agency. Accreditation is important to the student. It assures him that credits earned at the University are transferable to olher colleges and universities, are acceptable to employers and to certification agencies, and that degrees from the University of Chattanooga are recognized by graduate and professional schools. General accreditation is by regions and the University is a member of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and has been accredited by that agency since 1910. The University is also accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music and is approved by the American Association of University Women and the American Medical Association. Membership in organizations, while not involving accreditation in the strict sense, indicates standing or prestige of an institution. The Univer sity is a charter member of the Southern University Conference, and is a member of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, American Alumni Council, American Council on Education, Association of American Colleges, Association of University Evening Colleges, Asso ciation of Urban Universities, Council on Social Work Education, and the Tennessee College Association. HISTORY The present University of Chattanooga is tribute to the community and to the former Methodist Episcopal Church through whose united efforts Chattanooga University was chartered and opened in 1886. Three years later it was consolidated under the name of Grant University with another church-related school, East Tennessee Wesleyan University, at Athens. From 1892 to 1903 the liberal arts college was located at Athens and the professional schools of medicine, law, and theology at Chattanooga. A reorganization in 1904 returned the undergraduate college to Chattanooga. In 1907 the present name, University of Chattanooga, was adopted, the unit at Athens being continued as the preparatory and normal school. The Athens School was independently reorganized as Tennessee Wesleyan College in 1925. — 7 — In 1909 the Methodist Episcopal Church deeded all University prop erty to a self-perpetuating board of trustees. The following year the pro fessional schools were discontinued and all resources devoted to the devel opment of the undergraduate program. With this change in policy, the University was invited in 1910 to become a member of the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States, and the General Education Board offered a generous grant for buildings and endowment, with the stipulation that additional funds be raised by the University and that the University retain its location in the heart of the city. Successful completion of this campaign was followed by construction of the buildings now surrounding the Quadrangle, and with new facilities and full attention to the undergraduate program, the modern college began to emerge. In 1912 summer work was introduced and, except for a brief interruption during war years, has continued and increased. As curricular needs developed, new departments were added and requirements modified. In 1930 the first evening classes were offered. Cadek Conservatory and the University, which were affiliated in 1935, merged in 1948. An ROTC unit was placed on the campus in 1950.
