The President The Mansfield State Teachers ' College is located in the foothills of the Alleghenies, where these mountains begin to level out toward the lower lands of the great lakes ■ — one of the most picturesque parts of Pennsylvania. The college is the third oldest teacher training institution in Pennsylvania. It was originally founded in the late fifties as a Seminary, under the control of the Genesee Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. At that time, the North Tier of Pennsylvania was only lightly settled; and the young men and women of this section had but little opportunity for educational advantages. It was during this period that an agitation arose for more technically trained teachers and, as a part of the state program, the trustees of the Seminary petitioned the Pennsylvania legislature to make the institution a State Normal School. This was done in December, 1862. For a period of almost sixty years, this Normal School continued to grow and to serve the cause of education and of teacher training over a large area. Today, a large percentage of the population in the North Tier counties of Pennsylvania has enjoyed the opportunities of an education at this institution. It was one of the first Normal Schools to seek to go on a Teachers ' College basis; and was actually, in point of time, the first to be approved by the Penn- sylvania State Council of Education to confer degrees. This occurred June 4, 1926. On May 21, 1927, the name of the institution was officially changed to State Teachers ' College. WILLIAM R. STRAUGHN. 27 y y
