Although nearly two-hundred state colleges and regional universities throughout the U.S. began as 'normal' schools, the institutions themselves have buried their history, and scholars have largely overlooked them. As these institutions later became state colleges and/or regional universities, they distanced themselves from the low status of elementary-literally erasing physical evidence of their normal-school past. In doing so, they buried the rich history of generations of students for whom attending normal school was an enriching, and sometimes life-changing experience. Focusing on these students, the first wave of 'non-traditional' students in higher education, The American State Normal School is a much-needed re-examination of the state normal school.This book was subject of an annual History of Education Society panel for best new books in the field. 606 $aEducation$xHistory 606 $aEducation, Higher 606 $aGeology 606 $aChemistry, Organic 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aEmergency medical services 606 $aHistory of Education 606 $aHigher Education 606 $aGeology 606 $aOrganic Chemistry 606 $aEducation Policy 606 $aEmergency Services 615 0$aEducation$xHistory. 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 615 0$aGeology. 615 0$aChemistry, Organic. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aEmergency medical services. 615 14$aHistory of Education. 615 24$aHigher Education. 615 24$aGeology. 615 24$aOrganic Chemistry. 615 24$aEducation Policy. 615 24$aEmergency Services. 676 $a370.09 700 $aOgren$b Christine A$01791266 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973519803321 996 $aThe American State Normal School$94328391 997 $aUNINA
