The four-year college course was added to the curriculum of the Normal School in 1907 after a com- mittee, appointed by President Parsons, drew plans and made recommendations concerning this change. The school faculty adopted the report of the committee and the first students were enrolled in the extended cur- riculum beginning of the 1907 summer session. Students not enrolled on the four-year course carried four subjects per quarter. However, college students were allowed a maximum of only three classes. Due to the fact that high school graduates could teach occasionally while obtaining a normal school or college education, many teachers obtained their degrees well after their completion of high school. Under the legislation of 1907, the State Board of Education was required to serve as a State Teachers Training Board. The Board declared that the recent legislation had introduced a new era of education with- in Indiana which should inspire the educational in- stitutions to make an effort to do well. 'Ta J 1 f-- Indiana State was the first normal school in the nation to offer a mandatory four-year degree. fc. ..t, 'i t ' .,,. i .. filo i.ii1':r Twenty 1901 FACULTY fl -F I- ff. :qm- h-:-iii.5:r?p Certain demands were made. A maximum class load was established, a maximum teaching load was initiated for professors, and twelve week terms were instigated. Class periods were limited to fifty minutes in length, and no accredited school could grant a bachelors degree without enforcing proper entrance requirements or without requiring four years of work beyond high school. These and other requirements did raise the standards of a number of institutions and since the courses offered by Indiana State Normal School served as patterns for other schools by law. President Par- sons and the Normal School were placed in a conspicu- ous position throughout the state.

Twenty-Two rl Prior to the 1900's Normal was obligated to take potential teach- ers without high school educations. he need for-summer sessions aroseg however, the Board of Trustees took no action concerning this problem. Therefore, professors Stalker, Rotger, and Gillum conducted a private summer school in 1895, with an enrollment of one-hundred-one students. During the 1900's more students in Indiana were attending high school than in any previous period. All of the higher educational institutions were greatly af- fected by the changes taking place in the public schools but, transformation of curriculum was more necessary in the Normal School than in any other of the state schools. From the very nature of the situation, the Normal School was obligated to receive potential teachers, a vast proportion of whom did not have a high school education. During this time, Indiana University, Pur- due University, and other colleges of the state could refuse to admit students unless they were high school graduates or had the equivalent preparatory work. The graduates of other institutions received a bachelor's degree. However, the Normal School con- ferred no degrees until 1908. Although a graduate of the Normal School did not experience a handicap by not having a degree until the end of the century.
