It is this record in vears and aehieveinent whieh has prompted the historieal seetiou of this, our silver anni- versarv sear hook.

'l'he pioneering spirit of this earlv training sehool-one of the first teaeher train- ing institutions to he estahlished in the United States- has had a verv definite influenee on the 'l'eaehers College whieh has sinee supplanted it. lfrom a numher of elasses meeting on Saturdav morn- ings. from Szgf .X.

One of the first aets of the State. when it assumed Control of the Newark Citv Normal School in nineteen hundred thirteen, was to move the staft and student hodv from the old quarters at VVashington and Linden Streets to the new huilding at Fourth Avenue and Broadwav in North Newark. Bv nineteen hundred twenty-nine the various eur- rieula were extended to a three-year period and bv nine- teen lmndred thirtv-four the eurrieula were lengthened to four vears and the College granted the privilege of conferring the degree of Baehelor of Seienee in liduea- tion. In addition to this lengthening of eourses, the eurrieula in fine arts and industrial arts were launehed. and the proeesses of seleetiou so developed and im- proved that onlv students possessing outstanding seho- lastie ahilitv and desirahle personal qualities were ad- mitted. 'l'his student hodv. eoupled with an admirable faeultv, justified in nineteen hundred thirtv-one a Class A rating hs' the American .Xssoeiation of 'l'eaehers Colleges. 'l'he exeellent personnel program inaugurated hv Dr. M. lsrnest 'l'ownsend. President. and aided hv Miss Bertha Kain. Dean and Viee-President, has re- enforeed, in large measure. the strength and quality of the student group. 5..-- kim I I he old linilclings Newark lligli School at XY'ashington and Linden Streets IIIIIIllllllIIIllllIllIIIIllIIllIllllIIllIIIllIIllIlIllIIllIIIllIllIIlIllIllIIllllIllIlllllIlllllllllllIlllllllIIlllllllllllllllllllllll ll 1913-38
