History & Fun Facts

•History Although UT Martin dates from 1927, it is not the first educational institution to use the current site.
•In 1900, Ada Gardner Brooks donated a site on what was then the outskirts of Martin to the Tennessee Baptist Convention for the purposes of opening a school.
•The school opened as the Hall-Moody Institute, named for two local Baptist ministers John Newton Hall and Joseph Burnley Moody.
•It originally offered 13 years of study, from elementary grades to the equivalent of the first years of collegiate work.
•The institute changed its name to Hall-Moody Normal School in 1917, as teacher training became its primary focus.
