Tusculum College
Tusculum College is a coeducational private college affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA), with its main campus in the city of Tusculum, Tennessee, United States, a suburb of Greeneville. It is Tennessee's oldest college and the 23rd-oldest operating college in the United States.〔Rudolph, Frederick (1990). ''The American College and University: A history''. Athens, GA: University of Georgia Press. (ISBN 0820312843)〕
In addition to its main campus, the institution maintains a regional center for Graduate and Professional Studies in Knoxville, and additional satellite campuses across East Tennessee.
==History==
In 1794, two years before Tennessee became a state, Presbyterian ministers Hezekiah Balch and Samuel Doak, both educated at the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University), were ministering to the pioneers of East Tennessee, which was then the southwestern frontier of the United States.〔Ramsey, J. G. M. (1853). ''Annals of Tennessee to the end of the eighteenth century'' (p. 627). Charleston, SC: Walker & James Press.〕 They also strove to meet the educational needs of these Scots-Irish settlers. Doak and Balch were both visionaries who ultimately sought the same goals through their rival colleges. They wanted to educate settlers of the American frontier so that they would become better Presbyterians, and therefore, in their vision, better citizens.〔Patrick, James (2007).
