185933655New Orleans: B.M. Norman Publisher 1859. Original printed wrappers moderately foxed stitched 16pp. Widely scattered light text foxing. Good. <br/><br/> The pamphlet recounts the history of efforts to establish the University. "The Southern States have not been indifferent to the subject of Collegiate education. Each of these States at a very early period of its history has founded an University upon which it was intended to concentrate the patronage of the State Legislature. Could this policy have been adhered to steadily free from the interference of popular clamor or religious differences the University which we are now proposing to establish might have been unnecessary. The South needs more than ever men of the very highest education who shall prove that our institutions are not adverse to the loftiest culture. The world is trying hard to persuade us that a slaveholding people cannot be a people of high moral and intellectual culture."<br/> The triumvirate of Bishops Otey Leonidas Polk and Elliott led the effort with a Board of Trustees consisting of the Bishops of eleven southern States not Virginia or Kentucky. This document prints the Trustees' Declaration of Principles placing the University "under the sole and perpetual direction of the Protestant Episcopal Church." Pages 15-16 print the Act to Establish the University of the South enacted by the Tennessee Legislature in 1858.<br/>Jumonville 2882. De Renne 605. B.M. Norman, Publisher unknown books
