I OLD MARVVILLE

rrTHE COLLEGE WE LOVE
^^^ was founded in 1819. It was
born of the moral and spiritual
needs of the earliest settlers of
East Tennessee^chiefly Scotch-
Irish Presbyterians— and was de=
signed to educate for the minis-
try men who should be native to
the soil. The grand motive of the
founder may be stated in his own
words: "Let the Directors and
Managers op this sacred Insti-
tution PROPOSE the glory OF GOD
AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF THAf
KINGDOM PURCHASED RY THE BliOOD

OF His only begotten Son as
THEIR SOLE OBJECT.". Inspired by
such a motive, Rev. Isaac Ander-
son, D. D , gathered a class of
five in the fall of 1819, and in
prayer and faith began ttie work
of his life. In forty-two years

. the institution put one hundred
and fifty men in the ministry. Its
endowment, gathered by littles

— ^irough all these years, was only
sixteen thousand dollars.

8 STUDENTS' HAND-BOOK.

Then came the Civil War, and
suspended the work of the insti-
tution for five years, and the Col-
lege came out of the general
wreck with little save its good
name and precious history.

After the war the Synod of Ten-
nessee, moved by the spirit of
self-preservation and by a desire
to promote christian education
in the Central South, resolved to
revive Maryville College. The
institution was reopened in 1866.
New grounds and new buildings
were an imperative necessity. At
this juncture Providence raised
up Rev. T. J. Lamar to be the
second founder of the College ;
by his assiduous labors sixty-five
thousand dollars were secured
and Maryville College saved from
extinction.

In 1881 generous friends con-
tributed an endowment fund of
one hundred thousand doUar^T
Tn 1891, Daniel Fayerweather be-

STUDENTS' HANJ)-i;O0K. 9

queathed to the College the sum
of one hundred thousand dollars.
The College was also made one of
twenty equal participants in the
residuary estate, and has receiv-
ed the greater part of the two
'hundred and fifty thousand dol-
lars to which it is entitled by the
provisions of the will. This mag-
nificent donation has enabled the
institution to enlarge its work
and to enter upon a new era of
usefulness and influence.
•- .J*
About seventy of the post bel-
lum alumni have entered the min-
istry while twenty-one have gone
as foreign missionaries to fields
in Japan, Si am, Korea, India,
Persia, and Africa Several are
laboring in missions in the west.
All the alnmni are engaged in
honorable pursuits. Students who
have gone^ from the college to
law, medical aiKV divinity schools
have usually attained a liigli rank
in their classes..

LOCATION. ^^^-

Maryville is a pleasant and

10 STUDENTS' HANl>-BOOK.

thriving little town of about
three thousand inhabitants, beau-
tifully situated in eastern East
Tennessee. The to^n is but sev-
en miles from the Ohilhowee
mountains whose strong, fresh
breezes give it an ideal climate.^
Many large lime- and free-stone
springs give an abundant supply
of healthful water. There is no
saloon in Blount county. Mary-
ville has seven churches and is
the seat of two other large edu-
cational institutions.

BUILDINGS AND CAflPUS.

The College grounds consist of
two hundred and fifty acres, and
for beautiful scenery are not sur-
passed by any in the country.
They are elevated and undulat-
ing, covered with a beautiful
growth of evergreens and with a
noble forest, and command a
splendid view of the Cumberland
mountains on the north, and the
Smoky mountains on the south.
The location is as remarkable for
its healthfulness as it is for its

STUDENTS* liAND-BOOK. ll

beauty. The campus affords the
choicest facilities for the devel"
opment of athletics. On these
grounds there are nine buildings,
which were erected at a cost of
^bout one hundred thousand dol»
iars.

THE Y. M. C. A

HISTORICAL SKETCH.

The Young Men's Christian As-,
sociation is a brotherhood of the'
College who acknowledge Jesus
Christ as their Teacher and Sav-
ior, and seek to bring others into
like relationship with Him.

The Y. M. C. A. of Maryville
College was organized March 2,
1877. The idea was first suggest-
ed by John A. Silsby to James
B. Porter. These went to S. T.
Wilson, and decided to push the
matter. A meeting of students
was called in the chapel March 2,
at which twenty were present;
they decided to organize at once.
James B. Porter was chosen pres-
ident and S. T. Wilson, our own
Dr, Wilson, was the first secreta-
ry.

Maryville was one of the first
colleges in the United States to
have a Y. M. C. A. The advan-

STUDENTS' HAND-BOOK. 13

tages of the town associations
were familliai* to the young men
mentioned and suggested to them
the establishment of a chapter in
the college.

Of the three who first talked
■^-«=^'er the movement it is remark-
able that all became Foreign
Missionaries, James B. Porter
going to Japan, S. T. Wilson to
Mexico, and John A.. Silsby to
China.

James E. Rogers, now presi-
drnt of Blackburn University was
chairman of committhe on con-
stitution.

The years following the found-
ing were years of aggressive chris-
tian work. Sabbath schools were
organizedin country school houses
— a work that is receiving the
attention of the Missionary Com-
mittee again — and in many other
ways did the Y. M. C. A. make it
self felt.

OUTLOOK.

sociation were performed under

the handicap of cramped quar-=
ters, limited facilities and resour-
ces, yet how abundant were the
labors and how blest ! Fellow
students, new and old, should
not the work of the Y. M. C. A.
in Maryville College, with its
own commodious Association
home and glorious opportunities
be increased even a hundredfold?

We give a sketch of the Bart^

part of this booklet, so you will

tion home, Bartlett Hall ; how by

^^BLE STUDY.

The importance of systematic
Bible Study in an aggressive
Christian life need hardly be em-
phasized. If for no othei* than
an educational reason, all men of
the college are urged to join a
class in Bible study at the begin-
ning of the year, and to stand by
it throughout the course, for a
study which is not systematic
and regular will be of little avail <

After careful planning, the As-
sociation has decided to offer the
following courses for the coming
year: 1900-'0l !

(1) "Studies in the Life of
Christ" — Sharman. Messrs Ma-
guire and Hammontree, Leaders.

(2) Studies in the Parables
and Miracles.— Mr. E. L. Grau,
Leader.

— (3) Bible Study for Personal
Work.—Mr. P. R. Dickie, Leader.

If. STUDENTS' HAND-BOOK.

The Bible Study rally will be
held the second Sabbath after-
noon of the term in the chapel at
2:00 P. M. The subject of Bible
Study will be presented to you
more fully and the year's classes
organized. *^

MISSION STUDY.

Short and practical courses are
offered in the study of missions.
While we are rightly spending
much time in and upon the study
of God's Word, it is but proper
to spend time upon the study of
God's Work. This work is Mis-
sions. The study for the first
term is:

"The Evangelization of the
World in this Generation." —
Mott. Lealiier, F. L. Webb.

The joint Missionary rally of
Y. M an^Y. W- C. A. will be
held in the chapel on the Sunday
following the 'Bible Study rally
at 2:(X) .f M. Let no studenr
miss this meeting.

STUDENTS" HAND BOOK. 17

The college library has perhaps
the best Missionary alcove in our
Southland, and thus a magnifi-
cent collection of the latest and
best of Missionary books, pamph-
lets, and periodicals are plac-
'ed at the disposal of the students.
The Y. M. C. A. is building up a
working library, for the Mission
and Bible Study departments, of
such literature as will be helpful
to leaders of meetings, members
of study classes and individual
students. Missionary and other
religious periodicals will be found
on our reading-room tables and
students are welcomed to their
use.

A STORY OF STUDENT PLUCK

It all originated in the brain
of the little Japanese student,
ICin Takahashi, 9d, and the plans
that he formulated wei-e so en-
thusiastically -accepted by the
students and have been worked
out so strccessfully that the Bart-
lett Hall Building Association
is known far and wide. •

In the spring of ^95 the faculty
gave Kin permission to hold a
mass meeting of the students to
consider plans and methods for
raising money to secure a Y. M.
C. A. and Gymnasium Building,
As a result the students organiz-
ed themselves into an association
with Kin as president and to so-
licit funds, xlt the organization
$1200 were contributed by the
students and faculty. That sum-
mer Kin solicited funds from in-
dividuals and churches in East

The Kilns.

Having made the good begin-
ning thro self-denying efforts of
the students and of friends near
by, Kin set out to seek help from
other friends. In the fall and
winter he solicited funds in the
North, and in the summer of '96
the foundation was laid.

Lack of funds now stopped the
work; but Kin again sought dis-
tant help. He carried the story
of the earnestness of the students ;
he showed the picture of a foun-
dation ready for the walls that
should shelter the religious soci-
eties and foster health and
strength of the students. Such
liberal subscriptions were receiv-
ed that when he returned in the
spring of 1897 he had funds

close of the year the building ex-

BARTLETT HALL is an orrxai-r-

eighty-one by eighty-nine on the
ground. It has a large audito-
rium, gym, bowling alleys, read'

A part of the second floor is de-

The Young Women's Christian
Association was organized in 188t — "
and has proven a blessing to Ma-
ryville College girls ever since.

The devotional meetings which
are held on Sunday afternoons in
the music room at Baldwin Hall,
give each one present an oppor-
tunity to take part but do not re-
quire participation. Leaders are
appointed and topics selected by
committees. The Association
has recently purchased new hymn
books for use in the devotional
meetings.

Mission and Bible study classes
are usually conducted by ap-
pointed members and result in
good to those who attend them.

Last year Mrs. McCulloch gave
ouce a month in place of the reg-
ular service aBible reading which
w^as very highly appreciated.

During the annual revival held

in the college, the Y. AV. 0. A.
members organize daily prayer
services among the girls. These
entirely informal services of
prayer and praise are especially
helpful to joang Christians.

The Association was inspired
with new zeal by the visit of our
traveling secretary, Miss Crosby,
iast spring. Money was raised
to assist in paying the expenses
•of a delegate to the Asheville
■Summer School in Junje.

The dues last year were twen-
ty-five cents per term for active
aiiembers. This includes the priv-
ilege of using the Bartlett Hall
Oymnasium four hours each
week.

The chapter in our own institu-

The band has two oV)]ects —
first to study the various needs of

Progress, Push and Painstaking

student organization in the col-
lege. Tho she is very conserva-
tive, she is, but in a very good
sense, like the Athenians of old,
in that she is alu-ays considering
"some nev\^ thing.*'

Old principles combined v^Mth
original and up-to-date methods
have kept the society vigorous
thro all her years.

The society is divided into tw^o
sections: The Senior section for
college men, meets Friday nights ;
the Junior section for preparato-
ry students, meets Saturday
nights. At the monthly Open
Hall the public is invited.

this institution should join one
of the societies.

The vVlpha Sigma was organiz-
ed in 1884 and has ever since"
been doing good work. The so-

ciety is divided into two sections,
each with its own officers, the
members of the collegiate de-
partment and of tne senior pre^
paratory class are members of
the Senior section and all the
"other preparatory students are
members of the Junior section.
The seniors meet on Friday
night and the Juniors on Satur^

Once a month an open meeting,
to which the public is invited, is
held in which members of both
sections take part. In Decem-
ber or January the annual mid'

A medal is given at the end of
the year to the member of the so*
ciety who has been most faithful
in his attendance and work in so-
ciety during the year. Mr. H.

THETA EPSILON.

The Theta Epsilon society was
organized in 1894, and since that
time energetic work and untir-
ing zeal have made it a success.

The society continues to grow
in spite of difficulties, and dur-
ing the past year it had a larger
membership and a greater inter=
est than ever before.

The new Hall has been recent-

as STUDENTS' liAlND-BOOK.

ly decorated and refurnished and
is now a delightful society home.
A Friday evening spent here is
both highly pleasant and profit-
able.

The meetings have the three-
fold features of debate, music
and literary work. Listening to
the discussion of some popular
and interesting subject the most
timid girl will soon grow brave
and enter into the discussion
with hearty good will. The girl
who does not join one of the so-
cieties leaves off the most impor-
tant part of her education.

Our society means to go for-
ward fj-om the very start of the
term. AVe bid you a cordial wel-
come to our Hall, and desire you
to visit us before joining a soci-
ety.

the popular organization that it

POINTS OF I

INTEREST.

The new student will find in
the immediate surroundings -q^'
the college many beautiful and
captivating bits of scenery. The
Chilhowee and Great Smoky
Mountains which are in easy
I'each are a wonderland, a land
of romance. Charles Egbert
Craddock found here the scenes
and characters for some of her
most charming books.

We herewith present some of
the most popular places of inter-
est and give a word concerning
each.

Mont Vale Springs, a delight-
ful nine miles tramp or drive.
Climb two-and-half miles from
springs to Look Kock and see
some scenery that is scenery.

Monkey House, where the boys"
camp. Be sure to go when chest-
