The picture in the cen- ter is from the first photo- graph ever taken of the main building. The building used in 1888 was the same as in 1880, with an additional wing on the west side. An auditor- ium, known as the first Albert Taylor Hall, was later added to the building on the east side. It stood where the Sunken Garden now is. 4

Welch 1879-1882 J. H. Hill 1906-1913 gEight great men have handled the reins of the Kansas State Teachers College of Emporia since the day of its inception seventy-five years ago. Just as The Normal was a leader in the field of education, and just as the State Teachers College, as it is known now, is a leader in the field of education, so was each of the presidents of the college a leader in education. They had their trials and troubles, and they met many obstacles, but these they overcame and built the State Teachers College to the enviable position which it today occupies in the educational world. Thomas W. Butcher 1913- qThe longest period of service as president of the college is the twenty-five years which President Thomas W. Butcher is this year completing. Under his guidance, the State Teachers College has made its greatest academic achievements. His has truly been a period of worth while leader- ship.

Sevent -Five Years of Educational Service ,NQSQWSTQTE K .. Q09 Els LU' qThe seventy-fifth anniversary of the establishing of the Kansas State Teachers College was celebrated March 18 and 19, l938, with an educators' conference. Simultaneously, the college and the edu- cators of the country recognized the twenty-five years of service of Thomas W. Butcher as president of the college. qMost of the prominent educators in Kansas were present to take part in the two-day celebration, and several educa- tors from outside the state participated in the various programs. QA feature pro- gram of the event was the historical pageant presented under the direction of the Speech Department in Albert Taylor Hall. Here was presented the seventy- fivc years of educational service of the college, as interpreted by actors, dancers, and narrators. One of the largest crowds ever to assemble in Albert Taylor Hall saw the pageant. qScores of nationally known educators from every section of the country, from almost every college and university in the land, sent letters to the college expressing their regard for the college and President Butcher.
