The college relocated to a 40-acre tract, known As of late as “the Hill,” in 1828 and used to be renamed East Tennessee University in 1840. The Civil War literally shut down the university. Students and college were recruited to serve on battlefields, and troops used campus facilities as hospitals and barracks.
