Abstract from ERIC ED 474 157:

The paper presents a historical overview which begins in the year 1785, takes George Peabody through his life activities, and ends with Peabody College's becoming part of Vanderbilt University. The paper looks at a multifaceted history covering 217 years of 6 consecutive charter-connected educational institutions in Nashville, Tennessee, that culminate in the present institution, Vanderbilt University's Peabody College. It examines schooling in frontier Nashville before Tennessee became a state (1796) and before and after it became the Athens of the South; the relationship between Peabody College's predecessors and neighboring Vanderbilt University and the merger that occurred in 1979; and the philanthropic intent of George Peabody and Peabody College's continuing pursuit of his dream to uplift the U.S. South and advance the nation through professionally prepared teachers serving public schools.

28. “Educational Philanthropist George Peabody (1795-1869) and first U. S. Paleontology Prof. Othniel Charles Marsh (1831-99) at Yale University.”

Abstract from ERIC ED 422 243.

This paper describes the lives and contributions of George
Peabody and his nephew Othniel Charles Marsh. Marsh influenced his uncle's gifts to science and science education, particularly in the founding of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard, the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale, and the Peabody Academy of Science, now the Peabody Essex Museum, at Salem, Massachusetts. The paper deals with the relationship of these two men and the achievements of their lives. George Peabody became one of the most noted educational philanthropists of the 19th-century, founding numerous educational libraries and museums. O. C. (Othniel Charles) Marsh became a Yale professor of paleontology, director of Yale's Peabody Museum of Natural History, president of the National Academy of Sciences (12 years), and a noted researcher prominent in national science affairs.
