Uhr Miatnrg nf Thr Elirrhnnin Nnrmal Srhnnl ' The Village of Fredonia, a community known for its interest in art, music and education, has been the seat of the Fredonia State Normal School for sixty-two years. The legislative act of 1866 permitting the the establishment of our additional state normal schools created an incentive for the people of Fredonia to secure the placement of one of these schools in their community. The citizens, therefore, agreed to give a site and a building providing the State would establish one of these schools in their village. The purchase of the site and the con-- struction of a new building cost Fredonia 35100,000, which was a heavy financial burden for the Fredonia of those days. However, early Fre- donians gladly assumed this financial obligation in order to continue the educational prestige that the Fredonia Academy had brought this com-- munity for several decades. The completion of the Normal School brought about the closing of the Fredonia Academy. The Principal of the Fredonia Academy took over the educational leadership of the State Normal School until the regularly appointed Board of 'Trustees could secure the services of that type of educational leadership needed for the new institution. Dr. John W. Armstrong, a professor in the Oswego State Normal School, who had acquired an eminent reputation, was appointed Principal of the Fredonia Normal School in 1869 and the school was opened under his charge on the eighth of September of that year. Dr. Armstrong remained as principal until the time of his death, August 1878. His teacher training program graduated a type of teacher that enjoyed unusual success in the public schools of this great state which brought, to the institution an unusual professional leadership. The wisdom and untiring eiforts of the men who followed Dr. Armstrong have made it possible for Fredonia to continue its high rank among the professional schools of the country. Dr. Francis B. Palmer succeeded Dr. Armstrong on October 24- 1878, and remainedas the educational leader of the Fredonia Normal iii
