"...other side you will see... five hundred... teachers in attendance." Hall-Moody Institute / University of Tennessee at Martin:
"The Hall-Moody Institute was established in 1900 by the Baptists of Martin and the Beulah Association of
Northwest Tennessee for the purpose of giving religious and denominational training to young people of this region.
The founders of school named the school in honor of two eminent Baptist ministers, J. N. Hall and J. B. Moody.
The site of the school was originally in the suburbs of Martin, Tennessee on the main road from Union City.
The land was donated by Mrs. Ada Gardner Brooks a year before the main building was initially constructed."The institution struggled during its early existence, as there were four school presidents in only five years.
Hall-Moody offered a variety of courses 1900 - 1910 and issued literary degrees such as an A.B., B.L. and L.I.
In 1917, the State of Tennessee set standards for schools of higher education and within a few years these
standards were met. The meeting of standards gave institution more depth in both the courses being taught and
the degrees being bestowed. The college began to expand as enrollment increased and newer
buildings were built to fit the growing student body. By the mid 1920's, however, the school had run into
serious debt and in 1926 the Tennessee Baptist Convention decided to consolidate Hall-Moody with its
sister college Union University in Jackson, Tennessee effective June 1, 1927. Just prior to the school's demise,
the Tennessee State Legislature authorized the establishment of a
University of Tennessee Junior College on February 10, 1927. The legislative bill also authorized the funds to
purchase the Hall-Moody campus as the future site of this new junior college.
That junior college eventually became the University of Tennessee at Martin." (UT, Corbitt Special Collections)More 1800's Victorian Teacher & School Cards Click Here: (( MORE SCHOOL CARDS * MORE GREAT pre-1900 PostCard / School / etc. = use "Search store"
