BRIEF SKETCH
OF TUB
ow
This Institution was founded chiefly with a view to the "educa¬
tion of young men for the Gospel ministry. The destitution of
the South and West—the impossibility of inducing ministers to
come from other parts of the country and labor in this wide
field—these were the reasons for the establishment, in 1819, of
the Southern and Western Theological Seminary at Maryville.
For many years, the late Dr. Isaac Anderson, in whose prayers
and faith and self-denying labors, was laid the foundation of this
enterprise, struggled alone, against many strong adverse influ¬
ences. He was persecuted and reviled, and vigorous efforts were
made to close the doors of his Seminary, yet he never departed
for a single hour from the noble principles embodied in the
closing paragraph of his inaugural discourse. " Let the directors
of this sacred institution," said he, " propose the glory of God
and the advancement of that kingdom purchased hy the blood of
his only begotten Son, as their sole objects, and they need not fear
what man can do. Let these objects be pursued with meekness
and persevering fidelity, leaving the event with the great head of
the church, and we need not tremble for the issue."
By the blessing of God, the Institution grew and flourished.
Hundreds of young men have been educated for the learned
professions, who have attained to positions of eminence and use¬
fulness—and more than a hundred have been introduced into the
christian ministry.
Until quite recently, the Institution, now called Maryville
College, under the charter of 1846, was under the care and con-
MARYVILLE COLLEGE.

trol of the Synod of Tennessee. It was transferred to the
United Synod of the Presbyterian Church in the United States
of America, last May, at a meeting of the Synod in Lynchburg,
Virginia.
The Report of the United Synod's Standing Committee on
Education, which was unanimously adopted, is as follows, viz:
" Whereas, this United Synod, at its last session, determined that " So
soon as the Tennessee brethren might unite on one institution of learn¬
ing, the Synod would receive it under their care and, whereas, the
Synod of Tennessee have united on Maryville College, and recommended
the same to the United Synod; and, whereas, the Trustees of said Col¬
lege have transferred said College, as far as the charter thereof permitted,
to this United Synod ; therefore,
Resolved 1. That this United Synod receive Maryville College under
its care, and adopt it as an institution of learning,? to he sustained and
patronized by the church, and that the transfer by said Trustees of said
College made to this United Synod at its present session, be accepted
with the conditions contained in their said Report.
2. That the present Trustees of said College be continued as such until
the next session of this United Synod, and that they keep and control the
funds of said College, as heretofore, until otherwise ordered by this Synod.
3. That this Synod will endeavor, in every practicable way, to place
Maryville College in such a condition as will make it worthy of our de¬
nomination, and as will command the patronage and confidence of the
community.
4. That a committee of seven be appointed to examine fully into the
condition of said institution, and particularly as to whether the present
buildings should be repaired, or new buildings erected, and report there¬
on to this Synod at-its next session. And that said committee inquire
into the system and course of study pursued there, and report to Synod
any such changes, or extension thereof, as they may deem necessary to
accommodate the institution to the wants of the country and the day."
This Report elicited an interesting discussion and was unani¬
mously adopted.
The following were appointed the Committe, under the fourth
resolution, viz:
Rev. Messrs. I. W. K. Handy, Robert M'Lain, G. A. Caldwell,
M. Marshall, and Dr. C. N. Ordway, M. P. Jarnagin, J. G. Wallace.
The prospects of the College were never more flattering than
at present. It now occupies a position, as the institution of the
United Synod, peculiarly favorable to its elevation and perma¬
nence. Its location is healthful, central, and easy of access from
all parts of the country. The term bills are reduced to the very
lowest sum, and are certainly as moderate as at any similar insti¬
tution South or West.
