COACH BOB THURBON
Homecoming Message
This Homecoming marks 100 years of service for Edinboro State Teachers College.
So for the moment, the college, the administration, its faculty, student body and alumni
need to pause and look back across that 100 years of service and then turn resolutely
forward to begin the second 100 years of important contributions to the growth and
development of this area.
As we turn forward we know that we are building on a firm foundation, developed
in the past 100 years by the loyal service of those who have known and. understood the
program of the college. As we look ahead toward the second century of service to
education we know that the Department of Public Instruction and the State Legislature
have already provided us with a real beginning. A graduate program in elementary
education has already been approved and classes began in this area in September of
1957. Broader offerings by the college are at the present time being considered by the
Department of Public Instruction. The state Legislature itself has provided funds with
which to triple the present campus area. Through the Department of Public Instruc
tion and the General State Authority and the State Legislature a campus development
plan has been carried forward to make possible the placement of new buildings and the
development of an overall plan for the entire campus.
New facilities and an expanded program are an important part of the program
for the second 100 years, but far and above both of these is our need to concentrate
wholeheartedly to improve our instructional program so that Edinboro continues to
produce the best possible teachers. Such a program will certainly be three-fold: First,
a broad cultural foundation program in general education. Second, a broad specializa
tion in the subject areas which will be taught. Third, a concentration of professional
knowledge and know-how concerning the ways in which boys and girls grow and learn.
To these goals, Edinboro pledges herself and her efforts as she begins her second
century of service.

EDINBORO’S FIRST BUILDING — 1857
Music Hall
Edinhoro Celebrates
100 Years of Education
Edinboro State Teachers College was founded in 1857 as an academy for teachers
and chartered in 1861 as a State Normal School. It was the second Normal School in
Pennsylvania and the first teacher training institution west of the Allegheny Mountains.
For over half a century the school thus devoted to teacher education grew and pros
pered. In 1926 it became a State Teachers College and was authorized by the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania to offer the four year curricula and to grant degrees.
Edinboro grants degrees of Bachelor of Science in Education in elementary, secondary
and art curricula. Also, a program for training dental hygienists, and public school
nurses for a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education is in operation. It is now possible
to obtain a Masters degree in the field of elementary education.
Edinboro is located eighteen miles south of the city of Erie, bordering on the
beautiful Edinboro Lake. The college has a splendid setting on an attractive campus
with fourteen buildings.

COACH SAM SMITH
Sam Smith, head football coach and athletic
director at Indiana Teachers, has made only two
stops in a coaching career that spans 26 years.
Smith first coached at Dormont High near Pittsburgh
before moving to Indiana in 1949.
He graduated from South Hills High School in
Pittsburgh in 1926 after earning letters in football,
basketball, baseball and track. His coach was Grover
Washabaugh, now cage mentor at Westminster.
The ISTC mentor went to Waynesburg College
through 1930, playing his first football game at 17
among other players who were in their 20’s. He
played tackle for three years and had some backfield
experience as a fullback and punter.
At Dormont Smith handled football, basketball,
baseball and track. There he remained until he came
to ISTC in 1949. Three years were spent in the ser
vice from 1943 through 1945.
Coach Sam Smith and
Veteran end Bob McFarland
Smith’s football teams at Dormont won the
WPIAL championship in 1939 and the Class A title in
1942. Springdale beat Dormont for the title in 1946.
His football record showed only 30 losses in 132
games over the 26-year period, 14 of the losses com
ing in the first five years.

COACH BOB THURBON
Homecoming Message
This Homecoming marks 100 years of service for Edinboro State Teachers College.
So for the moment, the college, the administration, its faculty, student body and alumni
need to pause and look back across that 100 years of service and then turn resolutely
forward to begin the second 100 years of important contributions to the growth and
development of this area.
As we turn forward we know that we are building on a firm foundation, developed
in the past 100 years by the loyal service of those who have known and. understood the
program of the college. As we look ahead toward the second century of service to
education we know that the Department of Public Instruction and the State Legislature
have already provided us with a real beginning. A graduate program in elementary
education has already been approved and classes began in this area in September of
1957. Broader offerings by the college are at the present time being considered by the
Department of Public Instruction. The state Legislature itself has provided funds with
which to triple the present campus area. Through the Department of Public Instruc
tion and the General State Authority and the State Legislature a campus development
plan has been carried forward to make possible the placement of new buildings and the
development of an overall plan for the entire campus.
New facilities and an expanded program are an important part of the program
for the second 100 years, but far and above both of these is our need to concentrate
wholeheartedly to improve our instructional program so that Edinboro continues to
produce the best possible teachers. Such a program will certainly be three-fold: First,
a broad cultural foundation program in general education. Second, a broad specializa
tion in the subject areas which will be taught. Third, a concentration of professional
knowledge and know-how concerning the ways in which boys and girls grow and learn.
To these goals, Edinboro pledges herself and her efforts as she begins her second
century of service.

EDINBORO’S FIRST BUILDING — 1857
Music Hall
Edinhoro Celebrates
100 Years of Education
Edinboro State Teachers College was founded in 1857 as an academy for teachers
and chartered in 1861 as a State Normal School. It was the second Normal School in
Pennsylvania and the first teacher training institution west of the Allegheny Mountains.
For over half a century the school thus devoted to teacher education grew and pros
pered. In 1926 it became a State Teachers College and was authorized by the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania to offer the four year curricula and to grant degrees.
Edinboro grants degrees of Bachelor of Science in Education in elementary, secondary
and art curricula. Also, a program for training dental hygienists, and public school
nurses for a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education is in operation. It is now possible
to obtain a Masters degree in the field of elementary education.
Edinboro is located eighteen miles south of the city of Erie, bordering on the
beautiful Edinboro Lake. The college has a splendid setting on an attractive campus
with fourteen buildings.

COACH SAM SMITH
Sam Smith, head football coach and athletic
director at Indiana Teachers, has made only two
stops in a coaching career that spans 26 years.
Smith first coached at Dormont High near Pittsburgh
before moving to Indiana in 1949.
He graduated from South Hills High School in
Pittsburgh in 1926 after earning letters in football,
basketball, baseball and track. His coach was Grover
Washabaugh, now cage mentor at Westminster.
