ALLISON, Manaper mm mi mi V" 12i t GHfES HISTORY OF PEABODY COIUGE Editor Brevard News: If you will please allow me space in your valualble paper for a few lines I shall take pleasure in sub- mitting to my many friends in Tran sylvania a few facts concerning the George Peabody College, an educa tional institution of which I am a student. In the year of 1867, George Pea body made his memorable donation to the cause of Southern educa tion, in his letter of gift appointing as the first Trustees of the Peabody Education Fund sixteen very distin- guidied gentlemen, among whom were Gen. W. S. Grant of U. S. Army; Admiral D. G. Farragut of U. S. Navy; and Wm. A. Graham of North Carolina. As members of this notable group of men passed out of service by death or by resignation, worthy suc cessors were appointed. They have by their largeness and generosity of policy left an unparelled impression vpon the ideals of Southern educa tion. When the Trustees of the Peabody Education Fund organized, they se lected as their General Agent, Dr. Bamas Sears, then President of Brown University. Dr. Sears began lu8 work by a tour of inspection. By his intelligent insight he at once form ulated a policy which is still in the nafolding. The Board began to pro mote public education by special gifts to schools and places. When this work had put new life into the im poverished South, the heavy demand for teachers was the next problem for solution, and in co-operation with the Trustees of the University of Nash- ▼nie there was established in 1876 at Nashville the institution for the training of teachers, whose purpose was to supply teachers and educa tional leaders for the Southern sdiools and to encourage the several states to assume the obligation of training their teachers. The institution thus established was first loiown as the Stake Normal School. It was put in chaise of a IVesident and a faculty of only two other members, and opened its doors in 1875 with thirteen students. The institution was later known as Pea body Normal College, and finally, as George Peabody College. Fi|om this small beginning Pllt- body has grown step by step until today it stands foremost of its kind among all the educational institutions in the.South, and is excelled by only one in the whole country. In location, equipment, and teach ing force Peabody College holds a de eded advantage over any other teach- i, training school in the Southern States. Nashville is the apex of the South, easily accessible even from the ,most distant states of the South, .wUle it is quickly reached from the states of the upper Mississippi Valley. The advantages of Peabody in •i|il9ment an perhaps unsurpassed. The College has six large new b«ild- iBgt. One of these is devoted pri- matfy to hmne ec<moimes, one to in- "^Isitrial arts, one to psychology alid «d«cati<m and on* to phymcal edu cation, aodid and rAligioaa activities. additkm lha sehool « good .jf-M demonstration farm and a number of other buildings including a beautiful library recently erected by the Car negie Corporation of New York at a cost of $180,000. This library con tains over fifty thousand volumes. But the most beautiful of all the buildings is the Social-Religious Building which was recentiy erected by J. D. Rockfellow at a cost of $300- 000. Another fact which deserves men tion is the affiliation of Vanderbilt University with Peabody College. Fortunately they are located on join ing campuses and have worked out a plan- of co-operation which enables each institution to draw freely upon the resources *of the other. One can hardly be a student of one and not be a student of the other. Besides this affiliation with Vanderbilt there are a great number of other colleges and schools in Nashville always ready to co-operate with Peabody in the promotion of education. There is a greater variety of schools, colleges and Universities in Nashville than is to be found elsewhere in the South, and the proportion of student popu lation to total population is said to be larger than any other American city. After all has been said, the most vital element of any institution of learning is its teaching force. The faculty must be composed of men and women with a message to their age; men and women who have something significant to teach, and know how to impart it most effectively; men and women who can and who will help the learner in the most econo mical manner to social efficiency and human helpfulness. It is my firm be lief that the members of the faculty do fulfill this requisite. Dr. R. B. Payne of North Carolina is President of the College, and is conceded by all who know him to be one of the ablest educators this country affords, number of others who are certainly Besides Dr. Payne there are a great on the job, believe me. I wish to state, that in my opin ion ho Southern teacher could possi bly make a mistake in attending this college, and I believe it is the duty of every teacher to attend the sum mer session of three monhs, provided he does not attend some other school of equal rank. After the organiza tion of the various state clubs this summer I was sorry to leam that our North Carolina Club numbered few er members than nearly any other Southern State. Therefore I shall hope to meet more North Carolinians here next summer. With my best wishes to the many readers of Brevard News, I am, L. R. McCall, Geoxge Peabody College, Nashville, Tenn.
