Maryville College in Tennessee is celebrating the 200th anniversary of its founding in 1819 as Southern and Western Theological Seminary. It was later chartered as Maryville College in 1842 and moved to its current location in 1867.
The bicentennial web pages offer an historical sketch and founding story, timeline, photographs, and a video gallery. There is also a calendar of events and much more, including information for ordering a new history of the college, Maryville College: Noble, Grand, and True for Two Centuries.
An earlier history of the college, Maryville College: A History of 150 years, 1819-1969, written by Ralph Waldo Lloyd is available for purchase or you can find it at the Internet Archive in a variety of formats.
