This wide-ranging book chronicles the founding and growth of Nashville's institutions of higher education and their impressive impact on the city, region, and nation at large. Local colleges and universities also heavily influenced Nashville's brand of modernity as evidenced by the construction of a Parthenon replica, the centrepiece of the 1897 Centennial Exposition.
