Historical Note
From the Knoxville College website:
"Knoxville College was founded in 1875 as part of the missionary effort of the United Presbyterian Church of North America to promote religious, moral, and educational leadership among the freed men and women. Its mission today is a direct outgrowth of the purpose of its founding."
It started as a normal school and was designated as a college in 1877.
