Alumni

This series features alumni-sponsored event programs dating from 1901 to 1991, and issues of the Accent and Alumni Review from 1987 to 1996. Although technically a publication of the college’s Office of College Relations, this publication does include class notes, news about local Alumni association chapters and feature articles on alumni. As noted above, information on alumni may also be found in issues of The Signal and State Signal (see Series 4).

Annual Reports of the State Normal School Board of Trustees to the State Senate and General Assembly provide a yearly review of both the Normal School and Model School operations. The information provided varies from year to year but generally includes a Report of the Principal [a position that became President of the College], Treasurer’s Reports, a list of officers and instructors, descriptions of courses of instruction and names of graduates.
