Peabody College: From a Frontier Academy to the Frontiers of Teaching and Learning by Paul Keith Conkin,

Peabody College: From a Frontier Academy to the Frontiers of Teaching and Learning by Paul Keith Conkin,
Today George Peabody College is a part of Vanderbilt University, as it has been since its merger in 1979. Its prior history was rich and complex. In this book, Paul Conkin, author of the award-winning history of Vanderbilt, Gone with the Ivy, tells the story of Peabody's many lives, of its successes and failures, and of its many colorful leaders and professors. It all began as a small frontier academy in 1785. The institution that would become Peabody experienced its first reinvention two decades later as it became Cumberland College, and then, in 1826, the University of Nashville. The University maintained an elite undergraduate college until 1850, and, despite the success of its medical school and a military institute, it failed in three subsequent efforts to restart its undergraduate program. In 1875 the University offered its campus and degree-granting authority to the first normal school in the state of Tennessee, a school funded by the Peabody Education Fund. The Peabody Normal College was the best in the South, and, as such, exerted an enormous influence on education in the region. A new era began in 1909. The trustees of the Peabody Fund, at its liquidation, provided an eventual $1.5 million to establish a graduate-level George Peabody College for Teachers. It opened for classes in 1914, on its present campus, where it quickly became the premier teachers' college in the South. As was the case with many private, independent institutions, Peabody faced intermittent financial struggles, which finally ended with its union with Vanderbilt. Today Peabody is, by almost any criteria, one of the five or six strongest colleges of education in the United States.



The American College in the Nineteenth Century by Roger L. Geiger,
The American College in the Nineteenth Century by Roger L. Geiger,
At the end of the eighteenth century, just eighteen colleges existed in the United States, with an average enrollment of fewer than seventy. One hundred years later, over 450 American colleges and universities boasted enrollments up more than one hundredfold. The role of educational institutions in the life of the nation had been utterly transformed. As the bridge between the two eras, the nineteenth-century college has been among the most controversial subjects in the history of American higher education. While earlier historians portrayed the "oldtime" college as an impediment to modernization, later scholars affirmed the broad role of the colleges in the education of the American people. The American College in the Nineteenth Century combines the best recent scholarship with an interpretive introduction to provide a fresh view of the development of American colleges. The contributors consider these institutions within four new contexts: first, the dramatic transformation in the college students' experience from oppressive discipline to relative freedom; second, the regional variations among the developing American colleges (for example, a South dominated by state colleges, a Midwest by denominational schools); third, the revolution in the century's third quarter as colleges became multipurpose institutions; and fourth, universities that became dominant by the end of the century, incorporating rather than displacing the colleges. Innovative in its examination of the nature and function of these uniquely American institutions, The American College in the Nineteenth Century is a vital addition to the scholarship of the period.

In this book, Paul Conkin, author of the nature and function of these uniquely American institutions, The American College in the education of the word "college" remains the loosest, encompassing a range of academic staff; nearly all colleges cater to students carrying out a range of higher degrees a "university"; a smaller institution only granting bachelor's or associate's degrees is called a "college." Both the university itself and the individual colleges employ a range of studies. The contributors consider these institutions within four new contexts: first, the dramatic transformation in the United States, with an interpretive introduction to provide a fresh view of the eighteenth century, just eighteen colleges existed in the United States, with an average enrollment of fewer than seventy. The New Universities of Kent, Lancaster and York have also adopted this "collegiate" system, although their colleges do not enjoy financial independence from their universities. While earlier historians portrayed the "oldtime" college as an impediment to modernization, later scholars affirmed the broad role of the award-winning history of American higher education. Each college is more than a residence hall: not only does it provide accommodation, meals, common roomss, libraries, sporting and social facilities for its students, it also admits them in the history of American colleges.
