Abstract
This collection houses official records, correspondence, newspaper clippings, course outlines, reports, and other materials documenting the Tennessee School of Religion between 1923 and 1969.
Biographical/Historical Note
The Tennessee School of Religion was chartered by a group of ministers and laymen representing ten Knoxville Protestant churches in October of 1928 as a college to give religious instructions to the students of The University of Tennessee. Although U. T. students could receive credit for courses taken at the School, it was never formally linked with or financed by the University. The group's charter was modified in 1954 when it began teaching classes at U. T. Martin. The School was phased out after the University established a formal Religious Studies Department in 1965.
Arrangement
This collection consists of four boxes.
