Rhodes College celebrates 100 years in Memphis
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Rhodes College is celebrating its 100th anniversary in Memphis, marking a century since its relocation from Clarksville, Tennessee in 1925. Originally established in 1848, Rhodes College moved to Memphis under the leadership of Dr. Charles E. Diehl, who envisioned a campus built in the Collegiate Gothic architectural style. 'Appropriate and beautiful surroundings will have a transforming influence upon generation after generation of students and upon the very character of the institution itself,' said Dr. Charles E. Diehl. The relocation to Memphis allowed Rhodes College to expand its reach, providing increased access to students and resources. The campus was carefully planned and constructed, with each building incorporating the Collegiate Gothic design using Arkansas fieldstone, Indiana limestone, and Vermont slate. Classes in Memphis began on Sept. 24, 1925, with 406 students and 16 faculty. Today, the College serves approximately 2,000 students each year. On Oct. 23, the public is invited to Rhodes Night at the Shell 2025. The college's anniversary concert begins at 7 p.m. at the Overton Park Shell. More information can be found here.
