HISTORY AND LOCATION. The University of the South, Chartered in 1858, was founded as an institution of higher Christian Education in the South and Southwest. The plan of its organization was the result of a care- ful study of the educational systems of the leading in- stitutions of Europe and America, and the selection of those features in harmony with the requirements of the age and country. The civil war delayed the opening of the University, and swept away all its endowments save its domain of 10,000 acres. The Grammar School was opened in 1S6S. The Ac- ademic and Theological Departments were soon after es lablished, and these constitute the present University. Since 1870 the growth has been rapid, and by main- taining the highest standards of scholarship and char- acter as essential to membership, it has gained a wide reputation. In selecting a site for the University, the Trustees had in view these requisites : 1. A place central and accessible to the various diu- ceses. 2. A section free from the malaria of the South and the pulmonary diseases of the North, where stu- dents could ])ursue their studies unhindered bv disease. 12 3. A locatiou where the IlDiversity should build up its own society and surroundings, excluding inharmonious elenaents, and exempting its students from the tempta- tions of city life. Sewanee, the seat of the University, is reached by the Tracy City branch of the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Eailway, at a distance of eight miles from Cowan. Perhaps a more delinite idea of the exact location of the University may be given to those who are not ac- quainted with it by saying that the great tunnel on the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway passes nearly under the University domain— eighty-seven miles south of Nashville by*rail, twenty-five miles north of Stevenson, and sixty-five miles from Chattanooga. The Post-office address is ^' Sewanee, Texx.'^ There is a uioney order and telegraph office at the station. As it is about midway betv^een the Ohio Eiver and the Oulf, the Atlantic and the Mississippi, this entire region, with much beyond, is tributary to the University. Concerning the healthfulne*ss of the place, the '' Eeport of the Tennessee State Board of Health,'' 1S84, says : ^^The 'Cumberland Mountain Plateau peculiarly abounds in resorts w^hich possess to the full every essential that nature is asked to supply. We name one, by way of illustration—Sewanee—which, as a type of health resorts fulfills all the requirements of the tourist, the invalid and the seeker of rest and cool enjoyable surroundings. Here, right at the edge of the Mountain, and in the native woods, is the University of the South, with its classic halls, its grounds and walks and cottages, alto gether a delightful health giving village, with a people whose refinement and courtesy make the visitor at home and attune him to enjoy to the utmost the pure air and grand scenery of the Mountain's margin." 13 11. ORGANIZATION AND GOVERNMENT. The University of the South is under the sole and per- petual direction of the Protestant Episcopal Church, represented by a Board of Trustees.
