Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Maryville College Bulletin: Maryville, Tennessee; 1938 Maryville College, like most of the older colleges, grew out of the zeal that the pioneers of the American church had for the education of the people and their leaders. It was founded in 1819, when Isaac Anderson gathered a class of young men who were candidates for the ministry, Thus, Maryville is one of the fifty oldest colleges in the United Stales, and one of the fifteen oldest in the South. Seventeen years before, in 1802, Isaac Anderson had established, within the bounds of his Grassy Valley congregation, near Knoxville, Union Academy, popularly known as "the Log College." In 1812, he removed to Maryville and took charge of the New Providence Presbyterian Church, of which institution he remained pastor until his death forty-five years later. Here he continued also his educational work, serving local academies as teacher and director. However, he came to feel that more should be done toward providing an educated ministry for the Southwest, and encouraged by others like-minded with himself and under authority of the Presbyterian Synod of Tennessee, he established Maryville College which he served as president and professor for thirty-eight years. The founder´s noble motive may be stated in his own words: "Let the directors and managers of this sacred institution propose the glory of god and the advancement of that kingdom purchased by the blood of his only begotten son as their sole object." The sacrificial labors of Dr. Anderson and those who became his associates were fruitful and the institution made substantial progress. Although during the ensuing forty-two years the enrolment only once exceeded one hundred, and the endowment, gathered by littles through all these years, was but sixteen thousand dollars, yet one hundred and fifty-nine men were put into the ministry, and the founder´s oft-repeated desire "to do good on the largest possible scale" was increasingly realized. In 1857, Dr. Anderson died, and from that year until 1861 John J. Robinson served as president. Then came the Civil War, which closed the institution for five years and left it little except its good name and history. But in 1866 Maryville College was reopened by the efforts of Professor Thomas Jefferson Lamar, of the pre-War faculty, and by action of the Synod of Tennessee. P. Mason Bartlett was called to be the third president. Friends were found in the North, a sum of sixty-five thousand dollars was secured, the institution was saved from extinction, a new campus site was purchased, the first of the present buildings was erected, and a new era began.
