Knoxville College
Knoxville College was founded in 1875 by the Board of Freedmen's Mission of the United Presbyterian Church as a normal school for the training of teachers; designated a college in 1877; between 1902 an 1912 the state of Tennessee contributed to the financial support of the college's agricultural and mechanical departments; in 1997 the college was reorganized under new leadership and the "new" Knoxville College strengthened its historic relationship with the Presbyterian Church (USA) and has renewed its commitment to the original mission of providing challenging and stimulating educational experiences for talented students demonstrating leadership in their fields but afforded little opportunity within society.
