Austin Peay State University

Austin Peay State University is an accredited public university located in Clarksville, TN, and operated by the Tennessee Board of Regents. The school was founded after the former Southwestern Presbyterian College (now Rhodes College) moved to Memphis in 1925, leaving its former campus in Clarksville unoccupied. In 1929, area civic and political leaders encouraged the state of Tennessee to purchase the facility and operate it as a school for the training of teachers. This was done, and the institution was renamed in honor of former governor Austin Peay who had died in office in 1927.

The school thus began with the formal name of Austin Peay State Normal School for Rural White Teachers. Racial desegregation, among other factors, led to a name change to Austin Peay State College, and the institution was granted university status in 1967. The school grew greatly in the late 1940s and 1950s, largely due to veterans attending under the G. I. Bill of Rights, which gave the school a large number of male students for the first time. At the same time, several fields of study in areas beyond education were introduced into the curriculum. Much of the recent growth of the school has been in conjunction with programs conducted in conjunction with the United States Army at nearby Fort Campbell.
