Students, alumni, and friends of Lambuth University recollect with fond
memory the many accomplishments of the school throughout its history,
from its early days as a female institution through its growth as a
university. Located in the West Tennessee city of Jackson, Lambuth
reaffirms the Wesleyan emphasis on the necessity for academic excellence
and authentic faith. Since 1843, when it began as the Memphis Conference
Female Institute, the institution has recognized the interdependence of
education and religion. As a university committed to the liberal arts,
Lambuth provides resources and encouragement for students to reach an
understanding of the cultural heritage of people throughout the world
that will broaden their perspectives, enrich their personalities, and
enable them to think and act wisely. The university provides a congenial
atmosphere where people of all faiths work together to fully develop
their total lives.
