Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Phoenix, 1926, Vol. 31 In spite of the fact that every student worked two days a week on the school farm, the Trustees were soon perilously involved in financial troubles; so in 1842 the General Assembly voted to move Cumberland from Princeton, and invited offers from towns wishing the advantages of a college. Lebanon made the highest bid, and took the newly acquired institution into its care at once. A charter was obtained in 1843, and 1844 found Cumberland College well situated in a new building, with the more dignified name of Cumberland University. It is interesting to know that the first official publication was a twenty-one page rule book, issued in 1843. Such regulations as the following may seem strange to the mod ern mind, but they are actually found in this first bulletin.
