The Statewide Bicentennial Committee commissioned plaques to be placed on each of UT’s campuses during the bicentennial. The plaques commemorated the 200th anniversary of the chartering of UT. In October 1994 UT Knoxville’s plaque was installed on the front lawn of the Carolyn P. Brown Memorial University Center. Participating in the unveiling were Dr. Paul Phillips, Faculty Senate president; Matthew Gregory, Student Government Association president; Chancellor William T. Snyder; President Joseph Johnson; Knox County Executive Tommy Schumpert; and Knoxville Mayor Victor Ashe.
