Administrative history

Founded in 1855 as the New Jersey State Normal School, The College of New Jersey is the oldest teacher training college in the state and the ninth oldest in the nation. Originally located in downtown Trenton, the college expanded academically and physically, and later moved to suburban Ewing Township in the 1930s.

Over the years, the name of the college has changed to reflect its expanding mission.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    New New Jersey State Normal School,  1855-1908

Content and structure elements

Scope and content

This booklet, which was originally pasted into an unknown scrapbook and at an unknown point removed, details the Normal School's Thanksgiving Festival in November 1917. The original production seems to have dressed students as various Thanksgiving foods in the first act, and as allegorical figures in the second. The top portion of the list for Act 3 is covered by the remains of the scrapbook, but the list of names is clear. No transcription.
