HISTORICAL SKETCH
The Old Era
There was enough of the spirit of sacrifice and pioneer daring in
the establishment of the Edlnboro Academy in 1857 and in the acquir
ing of a State Norml School charter in 1861, to make the early history
of the Edlnboro State Normal School of more than passing interest.
The establishment and development of a school under the adverse con
ditions of a thinly populated district, and in spite of the handicap of
poor transportations facilities, constitutes a very real tribute to the
ability and energy of the trustee boards and the teaching staffs of the
earlier years. The whole story constitutes an historic background
that is wholesomely American in its challenge to the present day offi
cials, faculty, and students.
The New Era
No one can disparage the purpose or the results of the period
from 1861 to 1914. In that time the school was, however, a hybrid in
stitution. Under the provisions of the Normal School Act of 1857, it
was possible to organize a school on a half private and half state-owned
basis. Under such a regime the Edlnboro Normal existed until full
state ownership came about in 1914, by the purchase of all privately
owned stock by state authorities. In this new era that has come to
pass there is a new and even greater promise of usefulness to old
Edlnboro Normal. Freed from local control, which, no matter how
good, always has the attendant dangers of a too provincial govern
ment, the institution has rapidly acquired a new appreciation of its
mission to its patrons and its part in the educational affairs of the com
monwealth.
Full state ownership has already meant a great deal to Edinboro.
The Immediate outlook in both material and spiritual progress Is In
deed heartening.
The Plant
The campus consists of a twenty-eight acre plot on the south bord
er of the Boro of Edlnboro. There are eight substantial and commodi-
page thirteen
THE
EDINBOKO
QUARTERLY
ous buildings. There is every facility in the way of chapel, library,
dormitories, laboratories, recitation rooms, and modern gymnasium.
Wholesome conditions for working, playing, and resting are all of
equal concern to the authorities. The buildings in the order of their
age are Old Academy Hall, Helps’ Dormitory, Normal Hall, Recitation
Hall, Haven Hall, The Gymnasium, and Reeder Hall.
An extensive
addition to Haven Hall, the girls’ dormitory, has recently been com
pleted. It gives the school, in addition to the most beautiful school
dining room in the state, a new kitchen with all modern equipment, a
canning kitchen, a laundry, and storerooms.
During the year 1917-’18 the State spent $61,000 in additions and
Improvements to the plant. These Improvements include, in addition
to those mentioned above, new laboratories in Physics, Chemistry and
Agriculture, a modern vacuum steam heating system and new quarters
for the help.
Purpose
The purpose of the Edinboro State Normal School is the training
of teachers. In this single aim all other departments have been set
aside. It is a school of specialization in the profession of greatest
promise for the young people of this generation. To young men as
well as to young women, the Edinboro State Normal School strives
to give the vision and equipment for the task of shaping the destiny
of the republic, which last Is a statement as true as it may seem trite.

and who do not care to take the professional training required in the
normal courses.
The graduates of the Edinboro State Normal School who are en
tering colleges and universities are fast earning for their alma mater
an enviable reputation for thorough scholarship. Within the last year,
more than fifty graduates entered twenty different colleges and univer
sities with standing varying from freshman to junior, depending on
the institution entered and the course taken. The High School course
is outlined by terms on page 25.

HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE PREPARATORY
COURSE
General Statement
While the primary business of the Edinboro State Normal School
is the training of teachers, the school is compelled to maintain courses
in all the subjects required for admission to college. Through the reg
ular normal course and through a special college preparatory course,
the school has prepared hundreds of hoys and girls for college.
Recently more than fifty graduates of the Edinboro State Normal
School have entered colleges and universities all ove^ the United States.
Some of the institutions which our graduates have entered are. The
University of Washington, Leland Stanford, Jr. University, The Uni
versity of Michigan, Chicago University, Oberlin College, Mount UnionScio College, Hiram College, the University of Pittsburgh, Allegheny
College, Pennsylvania State College, Grove City College, The University
of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, Teachers’ College, and New York
Cniversity.
These fifty or more graduates entered college with classifications
varying from freshman to junior. Several standard colleges admit our
graduates to sophomore year in all courses and some of the best schools
of education and departments of education admit those of our gradu
ates who entered the normal after having completed a first class high
school, to the junior year in the B. S. course in education.

to know something of the processes and laws of mind development.
The tendency of the mind to show itself in appropriate physical
manifestations makes possible experiments with the sensations and re
fractions. The student is encouraged to make observations in con
nection with the topics, habit-formation, study habits, memory, judg
ment, attention, qualities that make for leadership, social psychology,

GENERAL INFORMATION
What Edinboro Means.
Without considering the aim of the state, the Edinboro State Nor
mal School means several things for the boys and girls of the twelfth
district.
It means that a plant has been established for them at a cost of
over $400,000 of the people’s money.
It means that this plant is maintained in the matters of heat, light
and care, at the expense of the commonwealth.
It means that the entire force of instructors is paid by the state.
It means that the cost to the student is only for board and personal
expenses.
It means that education which would cost four hundred dollars
a year elsewhere is furnished at a cost of two hundred and twenty
dollars here.
It means, in practical result, that the state lends money for the
education of Its young; that the loan is to be paid, not In cash, hut in
two years’ teaching service, and that that service, besides discharging
the debt, brings the one who renders it a reasonable wage.
Advantages.
Edinboro offers the advantages of a school atmosphere charged
with the spirit of good work, of honest thinking, and of plain dealing.
This spirit is manifested in every department of school life. In the
care of the grounds and buildings, as well as in classes in psychology
and mathematics. As a state school, everything is done to better the
training of those who are to undertake the state’s most Important work.
To Edinboro.
Edinboro is reached by the lines of the Northwestern Pennsyl
vania Railway Company, which connects at Erie with the Lake Shore,
Nlckle Plate, Bessemer, Philadelphia and Erie, and the Erie and Pitts
burgh Railroads; at Cambridge Springs with the Erie; at Harmonsburg
with the Bessemer; and at Llnesvllle with the Erie and Pittsburgh, and

THE
EDINBORO
QUARTERLY
the Bessemer. In Erie, baggage checks should be delivered to the Erie
Transfer Company, which will transfer baggage to the depot of the
Northwestern Pennsylvania Railway Company. All baggage should be
checked “Normal School.”
At Edinboro.
On reaching Edinboro, students should go immediately to the prin
cipal’s office in Normal Hall to register. One-half of the term’s ex
penses is payable on registration; the balance becomes due at the mid
dle of the term. Books may be purchased or rented at the book room.
A deposit of the price of the books is required when the books are tak
en. This deposit, minus rental, is refunded on the return of the books.
Rooms.
Rooms In Reeder and Haven Hall should be reserved, as there are
not enough to accommodate all who apply. Reservations should be
made as early as possible. Students may room and board with private
families in the town, with the consent of the principal.
In case the dormitories cannbt accommodate all who apilly for
rooms, permission will be given to room with private families and
board in the school dining hall.
There Is on file at the office a list of all householders who have
accommodations for students. Some landlords have specially fitted
rooms for those students, who, because their homes are near enough
to permit a week-end visit, wish to board themselves. While the prac
tice is not as common as it was a few years ago, for some students
it is both economical and pleasant.
Church and Religion.
As a state school, religious denomlnationalism is barred. There
are in Edinboro four prosperous congregations, which students are urg
ed to Join in public worship. The Presbyterians, the Adventists, the
Baptists and the Methodists are represented. The Catholic boys and
girls usually attend the services at Cambridge Springs. Among the
students there are various religious organizations, that are prosperous
and effective In the students’ lives.

THE
KDINBORO
QUARTERLY
Rules.
The state law lays down a heavy course of study. The chief rule
of the institution is the study hour. This means that while recitations
are in session, from 7:45 a. m. to 3:30 p. ni., and from 7:00 p. m. to
10.00 p. m., all students are to devote themselves to the work of the
school. In the fulfillment of this law rests the whole matter of discip
line. A student who comes to do the work and applies himself to the
best of his ability has little time to spend on other matters.
A CO-EDUCATIONAL SCHOOL.
As a school for boys and girls little is to be said, except that in
every way possible is the best spirit of education fostered. The matter
of boys and girls on the same campus is not looked upon as a necessary
evil, but as a wholesome situation for just the type of educational work
that a normal school must do.
Student Activities.
For a detailed account of life on the campus and of student organ
izations, write for a copy of the booklet Edinboro Life.

HISTORICAL SKETCH
The Old Era
There was enough of the spirit of sacrifice and pioneer daring in
the establishment of the Edlnboro Academy in 1857 and in the acquir
ing of a State Norml School charter in 1861, to make the early history
of the Edlnboro State Normal School of more than passing interest.
The establishment and development of a school under the adverse con
ditions of a thinly populated district, and in spite of the handicap of
poor transportations facilities, constitutes a very real tribute to the
ability and energy of the trustee boards and the teaching staffs of the
earlier years. The whole story constitutes an historic background
that is wholesomely American in its challenge to the present day offi
cials, faculty, and students.
The New Era
No one can disparage the purpose or the results of the period
from 1861 to 1914. In that time the school was, however, a hybrid in
stitution. Under the provisions of the Normal School Act of 1857, it
was possible to organize a school on a half private and half state-owned
basis. Under such a regime the Edlnboro Normal existed until full
state ownership came about in 1914, by the purchase of all privately
owned stock by state authorities. In this new era that has come to
pass there is a new and even greater promise of usefulness to old
Edlnboro Normal. Freed from local control, which, no matter how
good, always has the attendant dangers of a too provincial govern
ment, the institution has rapidly acquired a new appreciation of its
mission to its patrons and its part in the educational affairs of the com
monwealth.
Full state ownership has already meant a great deal to Edinboro.
The Immediate outlook in both material and spiritual progress Is In
deed heartening.
The Plant
The campus consists of a twenty-eight acre plot on the south bord
er of the Boro of Edlnboro. There are eight substantial and commodi-
page thirteen
THE
EDINBOKO
QUARTERLY
ous buildings. There is every facility in the way of chapel, library,
dormitories, laboratories, recitation rooms, and modern gymnasium.
Wholesome conditions for working, playing, and resting are all of
equal concern to the authorities. The buildings in the order of their
age are Old Academy Hall, Helps’ Dormitory, Normal Hall, Recitation
Hall, Haven Hall, The Gymnasium, and Reeder Hall.
An extensive
addition to Haven Hall, the girls’ dormitory, has recently been com
pleted. It gives the school, in addition to the most beautiful school
dining room in the state, a new kitchen with all modern equipment, a
canning kitchen, a laundry, and storerooms.
During the year 1917-’18 the State spent $61,000 in additions and
Improvements to the plant. These Improvements include, in addition
to those mentioned above, new laboratories in Physics, Chemistry and
Agriculture, a modern vacuum steam heating system and new quarters
for the help.
Purpose
The purpose of the Edinboro State Normal School is the training
of teachers. In this single aim all other departments have been set
aside. It is a school of specialization in the profession of greatest
promise for the young people of this generation. To young men as
well as to young women, the Edinboro State Normal School strives
to give the vision and equipment for the task of shaping the destiny
of the republic, which last Is a statement as true as it may seem trite.

tering colleges and universities are fast earning for their alma mater
an enviable reputation for thorough scholarship. Within the last year,
more than fifty graduates entered twenty different colleges and univer
sities with standing varying from freshman to junior, depending on
the institution entered and the course taken. The High School course
is outlined by terms on page 25.

HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE PREPARATORY
COURSE
General Statement
While the primary business of the Edinboro State Normal School
is the training of teachers, the school is compelled to maintain courses
in all the subjects required for admission to college. Through the reg
ular normal course and through a special college preparatory course,
the school has prepared hundreds of hoys and girls for college.
Recently more than fifty graduates of the Edinboro State Normal
School have entered colleges and universities all ove^ the United States.
Some of the institutions which our graduates have entered are. The
University of Washington, Leland Stanford, Jr. University, The Uni
versity of Michigan, Chicago University, Oberlin College, Mount UnionScio College, Hiram College, the University of Pittsburgh, Allegheny
College, Pennsylvania State College, Grove City College, The University
of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, Teachers’ College, and New York
Cniversity.
These fifty or more graduates entered college with classifications
varying from freshman to junior. Several standard colleges admit our
graduates to sophomore year in all courses and some of the best schools
of education and departments of education admit those of our gradu
ates who entered the normal after having completed a first class high
school, to the junior year in the B. S. course in education.

to know something of the processes and laws of mind development.
The tendency of the mind to show itself in appropriate physical
manifestations makes possible experiments with the sensations and re
fractions. The student is encouraged to make observations in con
nection with the topics, habit-formation, study habits, memory, judg
ment, attention, qualities that make for leadership, social psychology,

the ordinary model school. Each student is supposed to take full
charge of the room while teaching, and no interference or help is giv
en, unless It is evident that he is unable to discipline and give proper
Instruction; then of course, the critic teacher Is at hand to take charge.

GENERAL INFORMATION
What Edinboro Means.
Without considering the aim of the state, the Edinboro State Nor
mal School means several things for the boys and girls of the twelfth
district.
It means that a plant has been established for them at a cost of
over $400,000 of the people’s money.
It means that this plant is maintained in the matters of heat, light
and care, at the expense of the commonwealth.
It means that the entire force of instructors is paid by the state.
It means that the cost to the student is only for board and personal
expenses.
It means that education which would cost four hundred dollars
a year elsewhere is furnished at a cost of two hundred and twenty
dollars here.
It means, in practical result, that the state lends money for the
education of Its young; that the loan is to be paid, not In cash, hut in
two years’ teaching service, and that that service, besides discharging
the debt, brings the one who renders it a reasonable wage.
Advantages.
Edinboro offers the advantages of a school atmosphere charged
with the spirit of good work, of honest thinking, and of plain dealing.
This spirit is manifested in every department of school life. In the
care of the grounds and buildings, as well as in classes in psychology
and mathematics. As a state school, everything is done to better the
training of those who are to undertake the state’s most Important work.
To Edinboro.
Edinboro is reached by the lines of the Northwestern Pennsyl
vania Railway Company, which connects at Erie with the Lake Shore,
Nlckle Plate, Bessemer, Philadelphia and Erie, and the Erie and Pitts
burgh Railroads; at Cambridge Springs with the Erie; at Harmonsburg
with the Bessemer; and at Llnesvllle with the Erie and Pittsburgh, and

EDINBORO
QUARTERLY
the Bessemer. In Erie, baggage checks should be delivered to the Erie
Transfer Company, which will transfer baggage to the depot of the
Northwestern Pennsylvania Railway Company. All baggage should be
checked “Normal School.”
At Edinboro.
On reaching Edinboro, students should go immediately to the prin
cipal’s office in Normal Hall to register. One-half of the term’s ex
penses is payable on registration; the balance becomes due at the mid
dle of the term. Books may be purchased or rented at the book room.
A deposit of the price of the books is required when the books are tak
en. This deposit, minus rental, is refunded on the return of the books.
Rooms.
Rooms In Reeder and Haven Hall should be reserved, as there are
not enough to accommodate all who apply. Reservations should be
made as early as possible. Students may room and board with private
families in the town, with the consent of the principal.
In case the dormitories cannbt accommodate all who apilly for
rooms, permission will be given to room with private families and
board in the school dining hall.
There Is on file at the office a list of all householders who have
accommodations for students. Some landlords have specially fitted
rooms for those students, who, because their homes are near enough
to permit a week-end visit, wish to board themselves. While the prac
tice is not as common as it was a few years ago, for some students
it is both economical and pleasant.
Church and Religion.
As a state school, religious denomlnationalism is barred. There
are in Edinboro four prosperous congregations, which students are urg
ed to Join in public worship. The Presbyterians, the Adventists, the
Baptists and the Methodists are represented. The Catholic boys and
girls usually attend the services at Cambridge Springs. Among the
students there are various religious organizations, that are prosperous
and effective In the students’ lives.

THE

Rules.
The state law lays down a heavy course of study. The chief rule
of the institution is the study hour. This means that while recitations
are in session, from 7:45 a. m. to 3:30 p. ni., and from 7:00 p. m. to
10.00 p. m., all students are to devote themselves to the work of the
school. In the fulfillment of this law rests the whole matter of discip
line. A student who comes to do the work and applies himself to the
best of his ability has little time to spend on other matters.
A CO-EDUCATIONAL SCHOOL.
As a school for boys and girls little is to be said, except that in
every way possible is the best spirit of education fostered. The matter
of boys and girls on the same campus is not looked upon as a necessary
evil, but as a wholesome situation for just the type of educational work
that a normal school must do.
Student Activities.
For a detailed account of life on the campus and of student organ
izations, write for a copy of the booklet Edinboro Life.
