History & Fun Facts

•1913-14 Maryville College was founded as the "Southern and Western Theological Seminary" in 1819 by Isaac L.
•Anderson had founded a school, Union Academy, in nearby Knox County, before becoming minister at New Providence Presbyterian Church in Maryville.
•He expressed to his fellow clergy the need for more ministers in the community, including a request to the Home Missionary Society and an appeal to divinity students at Princeton University in 1819.
•It opened with a class of five men, and the new school was adopted by the Synod of Tennessee and formally named the Southern and Western Theological Seminary in October 1819.
•After receiving its charter from the Tennessee General Assembly in 1842, the school adopted its current name, "Maryville College".
