Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1872-08-11
Now adrerfisemenfs.

We call the attention of our readers to
the advertisement, in to-day's columns, of
the Nashville University and its Prepara-
tory Department, the Montgomery Bell
Academy. Just at this time, when the
location Of the Baptist College at Louis
vile disappointed so many of our citizens,
it is well to examine the claims and con-
sder the merits of our home institutions.
The University Of Nashville, born with US,
grown with us, and part Of our history
from its foundation as Davidson Academy
in 1855, non-SectaTian but broadly and
truly. christian, with its Professors practical
workers in our different religious denOmi-
nations, is essentially a city institution,
appealing 10 the sympaihies and interests
Of our citizens for patronage and support
For the Nashville people are its advantages
especially great; wiki thorough instruction,
written monthly examinations, high stand
ard of scholarship and efficient Faculty, it
combines under the same management
what can probably be found in no other in
stitutiOn in the cOuntry-a course ranging
from the Primary Department through the
professional schools, where our youths can
be carried up under the same system from
the most elementary instruction to the
CrOwning degrees Of the University. 1t
surely becomes US, as citizens Of Nashville,
to consider well whether we shall send our
boys away, with doubtful, il any, advantage
and at a pecuniary loss of near five hun
dred per cent, CT whether their names shall
BE- inscribed with the Bells, the Fosters and
the DickiGsOns on the Alumni roll of this
their hOnored institution.
