DEAN COOK WATCHES GOVERNOR STEVENSON SIGN A BILL June 19, 1951 was a historic date for the Chicago Teachers College. House Bill 491 has been unanimously passed by both houses of the Illinois General Assembly and with the Governor ' s signature became the law of the state. For the first time in the 82-year history of the school, state funds became available for public teacher education in Chicago. One million dollars of state money was appropriated to reimburse the Board of Education for the expense of operating the Chicago Teachers College. This action did much to assure the future stability and adequate support of the school. In return for this new source of support, the College has made certain changes in its practices. All curricula were reviewed to see that our graduates henceforth meet all the technical requirements for State of Illinois certification. By changing the rules for admission, the Board of Education opened the College to residents of any part of the state on the same basis as residents of Chicago. Besides Governor Adlai E. Stevenson and Dean Cook, the picture includes prominent members of the General Assembly who had been active in securing passage of the bill. They are, from left to right, Representative John G. Ryan of the 13th District, Chicago, Senator Robert E. Young of Hurst, and Representative W. O. Edwards of Danville.
