4.9/5 (11324 ratings)

Description:Referring to Old Main, the first home of Chattanooga University, an inspired news reporter wrote, "This institution is a light set upon a hill, in a literal as well as a figurative sense. It is lighted throughout with gas, and when it is illuminated in the evening, it is truly a light upon a hill, a thing of real beauty."The beams from those gas-powered lamps shine today as The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Razed in 1917, the Gothic spires of Old Main live only in photos, art, and the memories of the few who survive. The campus has grown to include more than 100 acres, more than 60 buildings, and a student body approaching 10,000.Opening its doors in 1886 under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Chattanooga University's early years were not easy. The institution changed its name several times in the first 20 years, and a conflict between church leaders nearly resulted in the closing of the University.But Chattanoogans would not let their University die. When the prospect of opening a university was first introduced in Chattanooga, community leaders came forward with financial and personal support. Throughout the years, the University has shared its name with the community it serves, and the futures of the city and the campus have been intertwined. This tremendous level of commitment continues today in the form of the University of Chattanooga Foundation and numerous private, corporate, and philanthropic donors.Surviving world wars, internal assaults, and turbulent social times, the University held constant its commitment to provide the highest quality of higher education.This volume details the struggles and the successes, the challenges and the accomplishments of The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and the educational pioneers and recent leaders who have shaped its past, create its present, and dream of its future.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
