Ìý

Peabody celebrated its 225th anniversary last year, and a new documentary on Nashville Public Television celebrated that milestone. Paying the Debt: A History of ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ Peabody College aired Nov. 3, on NPT. Narrated by Tony Award-winning actor Brian Dennehy, the half-hour documentary traces the history of the school from a one-room schoolhouse in East Nashville in 1785 to its post-Civil War resurgence courtesy of philanthropist George Peabody to its rise in national prominence in the fields of education and human development after the merger with ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ in 1979. Lyle Jackson, videographer in the Peabody Research Office, produced the film. The film can be watched online through YouTube.
