Theme SOMETIME during the year 1855, James Wicker-sham became Principal of Pennsylvania’s first State Normal School at Millersville. From that time to this, Millersville has been outstanding in its educational leadership. In the fall of 1927, a great stride was taken when the State Normal School became a State Teachers’ College with the power of granting a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education —the second Teachers’ College to be granted such a privilege. The students who entered the College at that time are the graduates of this class of 1931. The Editorial Staff has felt that this recognition of Millersville’s educational contribution warrants the using in this volume, of an educational theme. On the title page a sketch of James Wickersham seemed appropriate; on the following pages views of the old and new buildings have been used to show the progress which has been made here. The leafy patterns are significant of the beauty of our ivy-covered buildings. To us Millersville has more than educational significance. She is our Alma Mater. VVe dedicate our efforts to the progress of her cause—Education!
