Biographical Note/Information:  Following the hiatus of the Civil War, the trustees named Thomas W. Humes president in July 1865, but it was not until a year later that the institution could resume operations.  Humes was a Knoxville native and an 1830 graduate at the age of fifteen from East Tennessee College. During Humes's administration, great strides were taken to reorganize and rehabilitate the once war-torn campus, including the erection of several new buildings, the addition of new faculty, increased enrollments reaching a high of 315 in 1874, the addition of medical and dental departments located in Nashville, the establishment of an agricultural experiment station, and the redesignation of the institution by the legislature in 1879 as the University of Tennessee. But much of the Humes years were taken up by bitter contention between those who would shift the University's curricular emphasis to the agricultural and mechanical arts and those who would retain the traditional academic framework of classics and humanities. Humes stood with the traditionalists, and this led to his unfortunate downfall. The trustees asked for his resignation, and on August 24, 1883, Humes complied.

    During the period 1883-1887, the University was without a president and governed by three different Chairman of the Faculty.  Then in 1887 the Board of Trustees appointed Charles W. Dabney president. As the first president with a Ph.D., Dabney did much to make the century-old institution on the Hill a university in fact as well as in name.  He built a research institution with new laboratories, dormitories, a gymnasium, a library, and further developed the College of Agriculture.  He re-organized the faculty and in 1893 women were officially admitted to the University.  The Summer School of the South was also implemented during his tenure.

    Brown Ayers became the next president in 1904 and continued to expand the University.  During his fifteen year administration Ayers created the colleges of Law, Medicine, and Dentistry, oversaw the building of the Carnegie library building in 1911, raised entrance requirements, received its
first appropriation from the state legislature, reorganized the Board of Trustees to include gubernatorial-appointed members from the entire state, provided scholarships based on  electoral districts, moved the Medical and Dental colleges to Memphis, and enlarged the Agricultural College to meet the needs of rural families in all parts of Tennessee.

    Harcourt Morgan, an agricultural expert and Dean of the Agricultural College, succeeded Ayres as UT president in 1919. As president, Morgan repeatedly emphasized UT's role in statewide affairs, arguing that "the entire state is its campus," with farms, factories, schools, and homes included in the University's services and responsibilities. With the help of the state legislature he managed to secure significant funds for new buildings on the Knoxville campus, including an engineering building, two women's dormitories, and Shields-Watkins football field. Morgan's political savvy and concern for the financial fortunes of the University led him to exercise caution with respect to those issues which he publicly supported or opposed. In 1925 the Tennessee legislature passed a bill forbidding the teaching of evolution in public schools. Many people believed that because of his statewide popularity, UT's president could have influenced the debate and prevented the act from becoming law. Morgan feared, however, that a public stance one way or the other would jeopardize legislative funding for the University, and declined to take a public stand.  In a similar matter Morgan declined to intervene in the dismissal of seven UT faculty members, despite his own reservations about the propriety of the actions, because he did not want to come into open conflict with the deans who had recommended the action.  Morgan left in 1933, to take a position as one of three board members on Franklin D. Roosevelt's Tennessee Valley Authority.

    Morgan's successor was James D. Hoskins, a professor of history and economics, dean of the University, and acting president on two separate occasions. As dean and president, he witnessed an explosion of new physical facilities including Ayres Hall (1921), Sophronia Strong dormitory (1925); the Home Economics building (1926), Dabney Hall (1928-1929), the Physics and Geology building (1928), Ferris Hall (1930); the library (1931), Henson Hall (1931), the Alumni Memorial Gym (1934), the Hesler biology building (1935), and Melrose Hall (1946).  During his presidency, Hoskins reiterated a suggestion first made by President Harcourt Morgan in 1922 that a regular faculty retirement plan be instituted, and in 1941 realized that goal.  Under Hoskins's leadership, the University weathered the Great Depression and World War II.  By the end of that conflict, Hoskins was seventy-six years old, and in June 1946, he finally retired.  He retained an office on the campus, continued to be visible, and worked on a history of the University. In 1950, the library that had been built while he was dean was named after him.

Scope and Content Note:  This collection includes official papers from the presidencies of Thomas W. Humes (1865-1883), Charles W. Dabney (1887-1904), Brown Ayres (1904-1919), Harcourt Morgan (1919-1934) and James D. Hoskins (1934-1946). During the period 1883-1887, the University was without a president and governed by three different Chairman of the Faculty.  Another collection, AR 257 contains the official correspondence during this period, but other university related activities for those years are covered in this collection.

    Besides official correspondence from each of the five presidents, there are subject files, faculty lists, and materials related to University activities covering the period from the end of the Civil War to the end of World War II.  Specific topics covered include the agricultural concerns, annual University budgets, the evolution controversy, World War II campaigns, the Board of Trustees, and the changing student life at the University.  There are numerous related collections that accentuate this important period from the end of the Civil War to the end of World War.  The most important related collections include: AR-257 Chairman of the Faculty Papers, 1884-1886; AR-144 Presidents Thomas Humes and Charles Dabney Papers; AR-4 Presidents Papers, 1880s-1946; AR-5 Presidential Papers, 1919-1957; AR-138 President James Hoskins Papers, 1897-1954; AR-91 Board of Trustees Records, 1808-1982; AR-89 Board of Trustees, 1920-1960; AR-81 Treasurer's Reports, 1905-1928; AR-364 Treasurer's Account Books, 1858-1934.
