when Chicago Teachers College North began in 1961. On July 16, 1965, ownership and control of Chicago Teachers College was transferred to the Board of Governors of State Col- leges and Universities. The CTC campuses were at this point renamed Illinois Teachers College, Chicago North and Chicago South. When the State took over in 1965, an upheaval occurred among the college ' s faculty and staff. College teachers with both Chicago Board of Education certificates and Illinois State certificates could continue teaching at Illinois Teachers College North or return to work with the Chicago Board of Education. The college shifted from being a city college to a state college with much confusion and difficulty. Neither the state nor the city would claim responsibility for the college during this interim period. Dr. Sachs was in Africa and the Board of Education gave Dr. Goldberg the keys and told him to open the school and start the boilers. 1869 Establishment of Normal School in the village of Englewood. 1891 Transference of ownership of Normal School to the City of Chicago. 1896 Control of school under sole supervision of Chicago Board of Education. 1899 Offering of two year teaching program by Cook County Normal School. 1938 Establishment of Chicago Teachers College with its four year teaching program. 1961 Opening of Chicago Teachers College North. 1965 Changeover to Illinois Teachers College Chicago North. 1967 Name change to Northeastern Illinois State College 1971 NORTHEASTERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY — UNI President Sachs describes his absence during this period: The executive office of the Board of Governors told me not to cancel my work in Africa.

With the Board of Education having decided that its responsibility was over and the state not being ready to accept its obligations to the college, the institution was in a state of limbo. During this time Dr. Goldberg commented, The college belongs to me, not to the state, not to the city, but to me. Eventually these difficulties were smoothed over and Jerome M. Sachs ofricially assumed the title of President. This change was made in March of 1966. A more substantial name change took place in 1967. On July 1st

of that year, Illinois Teachers College Chicago North became Northeastern Illinois State College. Dr. Sachs clarified the full import of this name change: Up to this point many people treated this school like a junior college. With the name change, enroll- ment increased; 500 more students registered that year than had been anticipated. The college was well committed to the idea of ex- perimentation. In 1967 it became apparent that we would maintain an experimental program. This does not mean that the whole school has to be experi- mental, however. The traditional structure can function embodying the experimental division. RIGHT: The gym under construction in the early 1960 ' s.
