Thus, the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools trans- ferred Ball State Teachers College from its list of teacher-training institutions to its list of fully accredited colleges and universities in March, 1930. Another notable event during this pe- riod Was the act from the Indiana General Assembly separating Ball State Teachers College from the Indiana State Normal School located in Terre Haute.
