1932 CRYSTAL A beginning of a library had been made. with expectations of additions each year. lt is interesting to note the names of students of M. S. N. S. at the time of Mr. Newe1l's administration with those of today. A few are: Maggie Lawrence. Sallie Gamble. Lizzie Spedlen. Fannie Markland. and Angie Downs. During this first administration. the location of the school was changed twice. In 1872. the school was established in the Athenaeum Club. Charles and Franklin. and in 1876. was changed to its third location. Lafayette and Carrollton Avenues. where it remained until 1915 when the school was moved out to Towson. Following Mr. Newe1l's administration. came E. B. Prettyman 11890- 19051 and G. W. Ward H905-19091. These two men continued the work with its ideals begun by Mr. Newell. During Miss Sarah E. Richmond's administration H907-19171 the Maryland State Normal School changed both its home and its curriculum. The General Assembly of Maryland at the session of 1912. passed an act authorizing the issuing of a loan of 8600.000 for the purchase of land and the erection and construction of a building. including dormitories. for the School. The buildings. which are beautifully located on the high ground on the west side of the York Road at Towson. Baltimore County. cost more than 3700.000 and occupy a portion of a site of 88 acres which was purchased at a cost of 383.735, Two courses were offered: the professional and the academic. The professional course of study in the Junior year consisted of Pedagogy. Psyf chology. Art of Teaching. Review of Grammar. History. Observation in the Model School, English. History of English Literature. Studies in English Literature. History and Civil Government. Science. Physics. Biology. Art. Drawing. Vocali Music. Vocal Expression. Manual Training and Physical Training. The second year of the professional course offered: Pedagogy. Psychology. Principles of Teaching. School Management and Law. History of Education. Review of Geography. Arithmetic. English. Practice Teaching. Science. Nature Study. History including the Constitution of the U. S. and Maryland. Art. Vocal Music. Vocal Expression and Physical Training. The Academic Department offered in its course of study for Juniors: English. Composition and Rhetoric. History. both Ancient andf Medieval, Mathematics. Algebra. Science, Physical Geography. Botany. Latin. Art. Draw- ing. Vocal Music. Vocal Expression. Manual Training. and Physical Training. In 1918. Dr. Henry S. West. who came here to Maryland. his home state. after an interesting period of teaching at the University of Cincinnati. developed supervision of the boarding students. A new note in the history of the school was reached in September. 1921. under Miss Tal1's administration. when the school accepted only graduates from an approved high school thereby eliminating the teaching of high school work at the Normal School and cutting the course down to two years. Later in 1927. the Legislature passed a bill requiring that all applicants to State- aided institutions in Maryland must secure the recommendation of high school principals. and still later in 1929 a law was passed admitting in full standing only high school students who had received 60? A and B grades in the last two years of high school, with 4092 C grades. fContr'n1.1ed on page 951 Sixteen
