In Peabody College, Paul K. Conkin chronicles the many incarnations of one of the leading colleges of education in the United States – an institution forced to change by economic and identity crises.
Conkin demonstrates the important influences of Peabody graduates on the whole southern education system as they used their Peabody credentials to serve as superintendents, principals, and faculty at normal schools and eventually state teachers' colleges.
Conkin illustrates Peabody's unique link to the liberal Protestantism of John D. Rockefeller and the Social Gospel movement of the early twentieth century that prompted the college's focus on its service mission, as symbolized by the 1915 opening of the Social Religious Building.

The George Peabody College for Teachers included at times a demonstration school serving elementary and secondary students, a school of farm life, a division whose staff conducted surveys of school systems across the country, a library school, a music school and liberal arts programs.
In 1905 trustees of the Peabody Education Fund decided to move the school from its downtown location to one closer to Vanderbilt University "both physically and in spirit."

Peabody continues to be recognized for the services it directly provides children and educators, such as the early intervention services at the Kennedy Center's Susan Gray School; the FAST Track program, which works with families, schools and young students at risk for chronic behavior problems; and the Schools for Thought project.
