“A lot of my major classes were small, so you got to know the teachers and they were willing to help you. Also, you got to know other students well because of the small class size.”

Clayton Arnold Teacher Training Scholarship
Established in 1965 by Clayton Arnold, who served as postmaster at Thompson Station, Tenn., for many years and had a strong interest in the education of teachers. Arnold, who died in 1987, gave the University gifts in excess of $1 million and felt that his gifts would do the most good if made for the training of teachers in public education.
