The University commenced in 1794 by the name of Blount College. Post the death of the first President Samuel Carrick in 1809, the school struggled to acquire funding that led to its shut down. The partnership with Knoxville’s Hamden-Sydney Academy fetched enough operating funds for the school to reopen in 1820 as East Tennessee College. The partnership went for a toss in 1826, and the college moved to what is now better known as, Hill. In 1840, the name changed back to East Tennessee College with the inclusion of agriculture and mechanical arts in the curriculum. The university was forced to shut down again when a civil war broke out in the country and disrupted the smooth functioning of the College. President Thomas Humes worked towards reestablishing the College, and his efforts bore fruits when the classes resumed in 1866. In 1879, the university acquired its present name- University of Tennessee.
