N. B. Hardeman
Encyclopedia
Nicholas Brodie Hardeman (1874-1965) was an educator, debater and gospel preacher within the church of Christ. Hardeman, along with Arvy G. Freed, co-founded the National Teachers Normal and Business College
(NTN&BC) in Henderson, Tennessee
in 1907. The college would later be renamed Freed-Hardeman College
in 1919 and then Freed-Hardeman University in 1990. He would serve 25 years as President of Freed-Hardeman (1925-1950). He was also an avid horse enthusiast, participating in the Tennessee Walking Horse competitions as an owner, rider and a judge.
, the son of Dr. John B. Hardeman, Sr., a local physician and his wife, Nancy. He had a normal childhood and education for that period of the 19th century. He attended West Tennessee Christian College (WTCC), in Henderson, where he graduated in 1895 with a Bachelor of Arts degree, and later he received a Master of Science degree from the same college. The college later changed its name to Georgie Robertson Christian College.
Hardeman married Joanna Tabler on April 21, 1901 which was officiated by A.G. Freed in Henderson. "Miss Jo", a life-long resident of Henderson, attended Georgie Robertson and excelled in music. Mrs. Hardeman served as head of the Instrumental Music & Voice department until her death on May 6, 1940.
R.P. Meeks baptized Hardeman in 1890, while the latter was a student at WTCC. Hardeman eventually became an instructor at Georgie Robertson and served as its Vice-President. He was a very charismatic gospel preacher, serving as the minister or assistant minister of the Henderson Church of Christ at various times periods, even serving as a trustee of that congregation. Hardeman also served as Superintendent of the Chester County School District
even while he served at as an instructor, Vice-President and later President of Freed-Hardeman College.
In the late 1890s and early 1900s a split of the local Christian Church/Church of Christ happened when the issue of musical instruments in the worship. In January 1903, after much discussion and prayer, a majority of the members left the church and formed what is now the Henderson Church of Christ. Hardeman and his family, including his father and his brothers and sisters families, brothers and sisters in the faith, went with the new congregation due to their convictions on the subject. Because of the stance of Georgie Robertson's administration were pro-musical instruments, Hardeman resigned as Vice President of Georgie Robertson.
Upon hearing this, Hardeman and A.G. Freed, the former President of Georgie Robertson and then-president of Texas Southwestern Christian College, were approached by local businessmen about opening a new institute of high learning. The two gentlemen, seeing the need for such an institution to continue in Henderson, offered to purchase the land and buildings of Georgie Robinson in order to continue that purpose. The entity that owned the land and buildings, the Tennessee Missionary Association, a branch of the Christian Church, refused their offer, in part due to the ongoing animosity over the split of the Christian Church and the Church of Christ in that town. Determined to see that such an institution was still part of Henderson, and seeing the need for one, Hardeman and Freed purchased land across the street from Georgie Robertson, with their own monies, and construction of what is now known as the Old Main Building was started. Even though the facilities for the new school were in progress, the 1907-1908 was conducted in local businesses along Front Street. Several years later, some of the oldest buildings along Front Street were being razed for redevelopment. A notebook filled with class notes, belonging to A.G. Freed, was found on an upper floor. By making use of these businesses, there was no break in higher education in Henderson during the 1907-1908 school year. In the fall of 1908 NTN&BC was open for their first school session in its final location. Freed became the first president of NTN&BC and Hardeman became Vice-President.
The lands and buildings which were Georgie Robertson were later donated to the Chester County School System, serving as the county high school and later elementary school. Hardeman continued to serve as Superintendent. In 1963 the buildings were sold to Freed-Hardeman by the school system and renamed Milan-Sitka Building, in honor of the Churches of Christ at Milan and Sitka, Tennessee, by whom funds were raised for the purchase. Primarily used by the theatre, business and mathematics departments, the building was demolished in 2004. A number of structural flaws and maintenance oversights contributed to the weakness of the clay trench foundation. The new Bulliner-Clayton Visual Arts Center was built on the site of the old Milan-Sitka Gymnasium and was openned at the beginning of the Fall 2007 term. The original floor of the Gymnasium serves as a patio to the new building, and small bits of the original tiles can be seen.
In 1919, it was decided NTN&BC would be purchased from Freed and Hardeman and that a Board of Trustees made up by members of the Church of Christ would be set up to run the college. It was decided to keep the status quo however, and by unanimous decision, NTN&BC would be renamed in honor of the two founders and became Freed-Hardeman College. The building, known as the Main Administration Building (and later, Old Main), was designed by local architect Hubert Thomas McGee. McGee was originally from Chester County, but had moved to Memphis by 1910. He was the architect for the original Georgie Robertson building, and eventually designed ten buildings for the school. His most well-known building is the Clarence Saunders estate, the [Pink Palace] in Memphis, Tennessee.
Hardeman kept busy with his duties with Freed-Hardeman and the Chester County Schools, and he also was a widely regarded preacher and speaker. He was often invited to hold gospel meetings, some last for several weeks, throughout the United States. One meeting that lasted a week at the Union Avenue Church of Christ in Memphis resulted in 94 baptisms with 14 other as a result of the meeting after it concluded.
He was also a prolific debator for the cause of Christ. His first debate occurred when he was 25 years old, having preached the gospel for only two years. His last debate was with Baptist debater Ben Bogard and was considered his finest debate.
, a series of five lectures held in Nashville, Tennessee
in 1922, 1923, 1928, 1938, and 1945.
The first of the sermons came about when some of the churches of Christ in the Nashville area wanted a qualified preacher to hold a series of gospel meetings at Ryman. Luckily Hardeman was available and organizers staged the first meeting which started March 28, 1922 and concluded on April 16 of that year. The other three meetings, held in the same location had the same effect.
Both The Tennessean
and the Nashville Banner
newspapers reported on the meeting, which in turn was picked up by many regional and national papers. All the meetings were very well attended, with 6000-8000 people each night. As many as 2000-3000 people were turned away from the door which was unprecedented for this type of meeting.
So much interest was given that Hardeman commissioned the printing of the meeting, which was both transcribed and recorded for broadcast. The first edition sold out and subsequent editions did the same. In 1992 Hardeman's grandson Joe Hardeman Foy, and his family, helped in a reprint of the three volumes which made up the four Tabernacle Sermons, which were presented to Bible Students at Freed-Hardeman as a gift from his family.

. He was actually a judge in during the 1939 celebration and continued to participate with the celebration in the 1940s as both a rider and an owner. One of these horses, Maid of Cotton, won a Tennessee Walking Horse Championship and continued to live in the stable on the Hardeman property until Hardeman sold him. Maid of Cotton died in 1964.
Hardeman attended the celebration until August 31-September 5, 1965, two months before his death. He had never missed a celebration in the 27 years of its existence up to prior to his death.
. He continued to preach and hold a limited amount of gospel meetings until his health prevented his continuation. On May 18, 1959, friends and family held a 'surprise' 85th birthday party for Hardeman at the Peabody Hotel

State Legislature. Hardeman County in Tennessee and Hardeman County
in Texas are named in honor of ancestors of the Hardeman Family.
But the impressions and influence of N.B. Hardeman continues today through his works and printed words of his sermons as well as through those students that had the opportunity to attend Freed-Hardeman University. He continues to be counted on lists as being one of the most important leaders of the Restoration Movement of the Twentieth Century.
