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.

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,
