In 1794, two years before Tennessee became a state, the legislature
of the Southwest Territory chartered Blount College in Knoxville as
one of the first three colleges established west of the Appalachian
Mountains. In 1807, the school changed its name to East Tennessee
College. The school relocated to a 40-acre tract, known today as
the Hill, in 1828 and was renamed East Tennessee University in
1840. The Civil War literally shut down the university. Students
and faculty were recruited to serve on battlefields, and troops
used campus facilities as hospitals and barracks. In 1869, East
Tennessee University became the states land-grant institution under
the auspices of the 1862 Morrill Act. In 1879, the state
legislature changed the name of the institution to the University
of Tennessee. By the early 20th century, the university admitted
women, hosted teacher institutes, and constructed new buildings.
Since that time, the University of Tennessee has established
campuses and programs across the state. Today, in addition to a
rich sports tradition, the University of Tennessee provides
Tennesseans with unparalleled opportunities.
