The State Normal College was opened with appropriate ceremonies on Wednesday, the 1st of December, 1875, and is designed for the professional education of Teachers, and "practice in all the grades of instruction." . It constitutes with its Model School, the Literary Department of the Uni­ versity of Nashville, but is under the sanction of the State of Tennessee. It derives its support at present from the funds of the U niversityand the" Peabody Education Fund." It receives as students young gentlemen and ladies from Tennessee or any of the States, and is designed, by the three Boards interested in its welfare, to become a centre of edu­ cational influence for this and all neighboring States. ADMISSION. Persons applying for admission must not be "under six­ teen years of age, nor over thirty." Candidates must pre­ sent a certificate of good moral character; must declare their intention to become teachers, and their wil1ingness to observe faithfu1ly the regulations and perform the duties required while members of the institution, and must pass a satisfactory examination in the ordinary grammar-school studies. DESIGN. The State Normal College is strictly professional, and does not, where it can po~sibly be avoided, propose to un­ dertake any work which can be as well performed in the ordinary schools. The more thorough and complete the previous education of the student, the more valuable will be the advantages to be acquired at the College. 6 STATE NORMAL COLLEGE. The institution designs to prepare its students, as far as possible, for the organizing, t ~aching, and general manage­ ment of schools and higher educational institutions, both public and private. To effect this object, the COURSE OF INSTRUCTION Requires that the student should possess a thorough know­ ledge-first, of the branches of learning required to be taught in the different grades of school, and which should be as far as possible, previously acquired; and, second, of the most economical and effective method of teaching those branches. Consequently, the course of instruction embra­ ces a rapid review of the more elementary studies with reference to the best ways of teaching them, a review of the higher branches of knowledge with ·the same object, and a careful study of such other branches as time and cir­ cumstances will permit. The scholastic year is divided into three terms. STUDIES. First Term.-Primary and grammar-school studies, with reference to teaching them, viz.: Arithmetic, oral and writ­ ten ; Geography, physical and civil; Map Drawing, Eng­ lish Grammal.' and Analysis, etc. Second Term.-Geometry, Chemistry with its applications to the purposes of common life ; Hist.ory of the United States, Physiology and Hygiene, Map Drawing, etc. Third Term.-Geometry completed, Chemistry completed, Rhetoric, Book-keeping. SECOND YEAR, First Term.-Algebra, English Literature, Natural His­ tory, Natural Philosophy. Second Term.-Trigonometry, Intellectual Philosophy, Geology, English Literature. Thi1·(l Term.-General History, Trigonometry, Botany, Intellectual Philosophy. STATE NORMAL COLLEGE. 7 THIRD YEAR, First Term.-Calculus, Astronomy, Constitution of the United States, School Laws of Tennessee, Moral Science, Practice and Observation in Model School. Second Term.-Calculus, Astronomy, Reviews in Gram­ mar and High-School Studies, Critical Readings of English Classics, Practice and Observation in Model School. Third Term.-Physics and Natural History with reference to Object Teaching, Theory and Art of Teaching, Practice and Observation in Model School, Languages, etc., reviewed and completed. Such changes will be made in this course from time to time, and such studies added, as circumstances may require. The Latin, French and German languages, are taken ac­ cording to a parallel course. Drawing with black-board delineations, English Composition, Reading, Spelling, De­ fining, Penmanship, Vocal Music, etc., receive attention throughout the year. There is also a weekly exercise in the "current events" of the day. As this is designed to be a Etrictly professional institution, all studies, from the beginning to the end of the course, are taught with special reference to teaching them ; and no study or exercise is deemed satisfactory which cannot be readily reproduced in the same or a better manner. Students are required, in every study, to occupy tempo­ rarily the place of the teacher of the class, subject to the criticisms of both teacher and classmates; and, at appointed times, the more advanced students are required to take the charge of the whole department, and give a short general lesson, subject also to criticism. All studies are treat~d upon the topical plan, with such use of text-books as may be deemed advisable. DISCIPLINE. All students are expected to govern themselves; if unable or unwilling to do this, they will be regarded as unfit for the responsible duties of the teachers' profession. 8 STATE NORMAL COLLEGE. CERTIFICATES AND DIPLOMA.. To such students as are able to remain at the institution only a portion of the time required for the full course, a certificate may be given, stating the time spent at the insti­ tution, and the general impressions of the teachers. Those who complete satisfactorily the first two years of the course will be entitled to a certificate signed by the offi­ cers of the State Normal College and of the State Board of Education. Persons who can remain for only a part of the time pre­ scribed, and have an honorable discharge, will be allowed to resume and complete the course at a future opportunity. The Diploma of the University is given to those only who have completed the entire course, and on all such the degree of "LICENTIATE OF INSTRUCTION" is formally con­ ferred. A. law of the State of Tennessee directs that "the possession of such Diploma shall exempt the holder thereof from the examination prescribed as a condition precedent to employment in the Public Schools of the State; any such graduate being eligible as a teacher in any County of the State." TERMS, ETC. The scholastic year commences on the first Wednesday in October, and closes on the last Wednesday in May. The year is divided into three terms, with but one regular vaca­ tion, i. e., at the holidays. The daily sessions are short, and are designed to be actively employed in recitation, practice, etc., etc. All study and preparation for the student's work is to be done at his room. EXPENSES. Tuition is at present free. Every student, however, is expected to pay at the beginning of each term, $1.00 for the use of such books as are provided by the institution, and for incidental expenses. STATE NORMAL COLLEGE. 9 PEABODY SCHOLARSHIPS. In view of the want of well established and thoroughly furnished Normal Schools of a high order in the South, ex­ .cept for colored teachers, and of the fact that few of the States in this section of the country are in a condition to establish one at present within their own borders, the Trus· tees of the Peabody Educational Fund have contributed a part of the amount necessary to convert the Literary De­ partment of the University of Nash ville into a State Nor­ mal College. They have furthermore determined to estab­ ·lish in this school a limited number of scholarships, of $200 each, for the encouragement and aid of pupils from adjoin­ ing States, whose characters, abilities and general culture give special promise of usefulness as teachers. Applicants must have the unqualified recommendation of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, pass, with an examiner 'appointed by the undersigned for the pur­ pose, a good examination for a graduate of a first­ class High School, be accepted by President STEARNs, and promise to teach at least two years, if they have opportu­ nity. If, upon a half year's trial, reasonable expectations are not met, the scholarships will be discontinued.

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.

Hardacre, Harriet Chappell Owsley, 1969 Reprocessed by Kathy B. Lauder, 2010 Archival Technical Services Accession Numbers: 1177, 1280, 1814, 69-312, 72-042, 2007-007, 2008-023 Dates completed: December 18, 1969; April 16, 2010 Location: IV-D-3 Microfilm Accession Number: 1830 MICROFILMED INTRODUCTION The Lindsley Family Papers consist of the papers of a family well known in the educational, political, social, civic, and public health arenas of Nashville, Tennessee, from about 1820 to about 1930. 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). The minute books of the State Board of Education during the period in which Lindsley was its secretary are also part of the TSLA collection.
