In 1886 the State Legislcature passed an act establishins the Thirteenth State Normal School District, and steps were taken at once to establish the Clarion State Normal School. Citizens contributed forty thou- sand dollars and the Lesislature approp- riated twenty-Five thousand dollars. Carrier Seminary was purchased from the Erie Con- ference of the Methodist Church, additional ground was bought, and work was begun on the buildings. By February two large dormitories were completed, and on April 12, 1887, the school was formally opened and approved by a committee representing the State. The school was managed jointly by the State and the stockholders until February 9, 1916, when the local stock was purchased by the State in the name of the Commonwealth. In 1928, Clarion was granted authority to confer the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education upon stu- dents satisfactorily completing the four-year curricula. The name of the institution was changed to State Teachers College on May 28, 1929.
