SNAPSHOT
Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt was in his 79th year when he decided to make the gift that founded Vanderbilt University in the spring of 1873. The $1 million that he gave to endow and build the university was the Commodore's only major philanthropy. Methodist Bishop Holland N. McTyeire of Nashville, a cousin of the Commodore's young second wife, went to New York for medical treatment early in 1873 and spent time recovering in the Vanderbilt mansion. He won the Commodore's admiration and support for the project of building a university in the South that would "contribute to strengthening the ties which should exist between all sections of our common country."

I gave birth to my third daughter here and was very happy with the OB care. The OB docs and pediatricians were all really nice and seemed more than competent.The nurses helped me a lot during labor and the other two days I was there. the breast feeding consultant was always around and ready to help. My other two kids were allowed to come and visit which was nice. The hospital food is actually really good- or maybe I was just really hungry! A good option for a birth.
