The principal educational institutions are the university of Louisville, which has a College of Liberal Arts (1907), a law department (1847), and a medical department (1837)--with which in 1907 were consolidated the Hospital College of Medicine (1873), the Medical Department of Kentucky University (1898), the Louisville Medical College (1869), and the Kentucky School of Medicine (1850); the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (1859); the Presbyterian Theological Seminary of Kentucky, which was formed in 1901 by the consolidation of the Theological Seminary of the Presbyterian Church at Danville (1853) and the Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary (1893); the Louisville College of Pharmacy (1871), and the Louisville College of Dentistry (1887), a department of Central University. There are many musical clubs, and a spring festival for which a local chorus furnishes the nucleus, is held annually. The Louisville Public Library was established in 1902, and 1904 acquired the library, the small museum (containing the Troost collection of minerals) and the art gallery of the Polytechnic Society of Louisville (1878), which for many years had maintained the only public library in the city. The principal newspapers are the _Courier Journal_ (Democratic, morning), the _Herald_ (Republican, morning), the _Evening Post_ (Independent Democratic), and the _Times_ (Democratic, evening). The _Courier Journal_ is one of the most influential newspapers in the South. Henry Watterson became editor in 1868, when the _Courier_ (1843), established and owned by Walter N. Haldeman, was consolidated with the _Journal_ (1830), of which Watterson had become editor in 1867, and with the _Democrat_ (1844).
