It was found ed by Joseph Baldwin who had been engaged in normal school work in Indiana for about ten years. It was opened in a building known at the time as Cumberland Academy. This building had been erected by the Kirksville Presbytery of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church for school purposes, just at the outbreak of the Civil War. It stood on the site of President Fair's residence in the north part of town. President Baldwin did not come to Missouri merely to establish a private normal school. He came with the definite purpose of building up an institution of such exceb lence as to induce the State of Missouri to make it one of a number of state normal schools. He therefore began at once to advocate a system of six normal schools in Missouri. He was joined by several prominent educators in the state in his campaign, and as a result the Legislature of Missouri enacted a law in March, 1870, providing for two state normal schools, one on either side of the Missouri River. The location of these two institutions was left to a Board of Regents. Shortly after the Legislature passed this bill providing for two state normal schools, various counties prepared bids for the location of these institutions and submitted them to the Board of Regents. Adair and Livingston counties were active competitors for the school north of the Missouri River. On December 29, 1870, the Board of Regents accepted the bid of Adair County and located the First District Normal School at Kirksville. The faculty of the Northeast Missouri Normal School was then made the faculty of the newly created State Normal School with Joseph Baldwin as president. When, therefore, the stu dents returned to Kirksville in January, 1871, after the Christmas holidays, they returned to a state institution. The First District Normal School continued to use the building in which it had been founded as a private institution until January, 1873. when it occupied a new building on the present campus. This old building, now known as Baldwin Hall, was for nearly thirty years the only building on the campus. In 1901 Library Hall was built as a wing on the east of the main building, and in 1905 Science Hall was erected as another wing on the west. This last building was burned to the ground on September 18, 1918, and was re built in the winter of 191819. In 1924 the college was again visited by a very destructive fire. This time the famous Old Baldwin Hall with its traditional tower was razed to the ground. The library also burned but through great effort Science Hall was saved. Since the burning a great move nient has been launched to restore a new Baldwin Hall. The plan of this building is to be seen on the last page of the Historical section. President Baldwin remained with the institution until 1881 when he resigned to accept the presidency of the Sam Houston Normal Institute at Huntsville, Texas. Since that time the presidency here has been filled by W. P. Nason, pro tern, 1881-82; J. P. Blan- ton, 1882-91; W. D. Dobson, 1892-99; John R. Kirk, 1899- 25; and Eugene Fair since 1925. The annual enrollment of students has steadily grown from the beginning. At the end of the first year there were 140 students in what was called the normal department. «rs At the end of last year there were 2039 enrolled for residence work in the college and 1925 exclusive of the demonstration schools. In addition there were 380 enrolled for cones' pondence and extension study, making a total of 2419 for the year. The faculty has likewise grown in numbers. In the first year there were only six meuv hers in the faculty. This year there are sixtyTour not including student assistants. There has also been a great growth in the scope of work of the institution and a great advance in its educational standards. This is especially true in the last ten or fifteen years. Twenty years ago a graduate of an approved four year high school was ordinarily able to get the highest diploma of the institution in one year's time. But gradually the require' nients for graduation were increased, and by 1912 four years oi 120 semester hours of cob lege work were required for the highest diploma which not only confers the life certificate to teach in Missouri but also the degree of B. S. in Education. By that time the institution had become a teachers college. What was true at Kirks' ville was also true at the four other State Normal Schools m Missouri. In recognition of this fact, the Legislature of Missouri changed the names of these institutions to State Teachers (Colleges in a bill approved on May 20, 1919. Tuk Original TTomk or K. S. T. C.

Hutsell, President Francis English, Vice-President Robert Wright, Treasurer Mary Bentley, Secretary FOLLOWING a political upheaval last spring, the Progressive party started this year's administration with practically a one hundred per cent member' ship. The purpose of Student Government in K. S. T. C. has always lx en to co- operate and advise with the administration of the institution concerning the best policies for the scliool. As a further aim, an attempt has always been made to stabilize and promote the student activities, and to keep the student body closely connected to the. school, and to act as an inter-locking force between students and faculty members. To a large degree these aims have been accomplished under the present administration. Early in the fall quarter, the Council took an active part in promoting an effective jx p organization within the student body. As a result of this effort, there sprang up on the campus this year two organizations known as: Howlers and Growlers, their effect was far felt during the gridiron season. As a further duty of the Council, a careful plan of supervision of expen- ditures has been carried out this year. The Student Entertainment fund has been spent wisely in promoting social activities and lyceum numbers for the college. A number of outstanding lyceum numbers were secured for the program this year; chief among these being the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, Charley Paddock, and The Old Homestead Players. Omens would indicate that considerable interest will be shown in the an- nual election which will lx held this spring. A number of new political parties have buzzed their policies among the students, and in all probability the Stu- dent Government Association will continue to rank among the chief activities at K. S. T. C. The administration has always looked kindly upon this organization and has given much time and effort in order to bring closer co-operation between the policies of the school and the opinions of the students.

I. A. A. conference and finally attain mg a rating of second place on the percentage calendar. Old fans wondered during the summer of 1926 as to the brand of football that would be moulded under the hand of Coach Faurot. Several of the old backs were gone, liesides some no ticeable vacancies on the line. Doubts were quickly recalled when the Bulldogs started the march on their old familiar championship road and stopped at the end of the season with a second lierth in the M. I. A. A. race. To win seven of the eight games played; to pile up a total of 226 points to their opponents 54: to accumulate a larger conference score than all of the other conference teams combined; to have all of the first squad placed on the first and second alhstate mythical elevens or on the role of honorable mention was not a bad record for a new coach and a new group of men. Certainly the Bulldogs were the scoring aces in Missouri College football circles in the 1926 grid season. Old traditions were smashed when they walloped the dangerous O-arkians of Springfield for the first time in the history of the two schools. Again were prece dents swept aside when the Bulldog outclassed the Maryville Bearcat by a long score; but as all good stories encounter tragedies, so did the 1926 story of the Bulldog, when he met the redoubtable Warrensburg Mule on his home kicking ground, Oct. 13. and there received the only drubbing of the year by a margin of one touchdown, which set Kirksvilie into second place in the final ranking. The season ojvned Oct. 1, when the Bulldogs played their old rivals, the Yellow Jackets, of Kemper Military Academy. It was a hard fought game, Chauncey Simpson was eliminated for all of the conference season when he broke a shoulder during the second play of the game, after diving the line for a four yard slide. Final score found the Bulldogs counting coupe, 33 to the Yellow Jackets’ 0. Oct. 8, Kirksvilie faced the champions of last year's Missouri College Union conference, and what seemed to be the hardest college football team in the state, known as the Westminster Blue Jays. The game was hard fought from whistle to gun, and found the Bulldogs winning 13 to 0. The Westminster boys declared they had never been hit so hard or tackled with such vigor as they were by the Bulldogs that day. The Culver Stockton Wildcats visited the home of the Bulldog on Oct. 15. and here the two friendly animals engaged in mortal combat with the canine family winning 31 to 7. Cottle's trusty toe booted a 45 yard field goal, and we shall not forget how Levi Craig went around the end for a fifty yard gallop and touchdown. [90] The M. I. A. A. conference opened with a glorious rush when the Bulldogs journeyed to the land of the Cape Girardeau Indian on Oct. 22, and there re moved scalps to the tune of a 23 to 0 victor y. The second string men were given a chance to display their wares quite freely in this game. On the return trip the second team encountered the St. Louis University Freshmen team at St. Louis and lost by a lone touchdown. Oct. 20 was Home Coming Day for the old gratis. Truly it was a great day for the grid fans to see the Bulldogs go through the touted Maryville Bearcats to the scale of 5! to 7. Some game they all said, anil so did Maryville. Every- one was going good and following the first quarter it seemed the field was open for the ball carriers. The line men did some wonderful plunging and the backs were all together in the interference. Surely the championship belongs to Kirks- ville thought the followers of the purple anil white. It was on Nov. 5 that the tragedy occurred. They always occur when least expected, and this one occurred at Warrcnsburg, when the Mules developed too much kick for the Bulldogs and piled up a lead early in the game, which they continued to hold until the final gun. Warrensburg's passing game failed to de- velop and the Bulldog linemen were sucked under play after play. During the fourth quarter Kirksvjlle rallied and Turner started his old passing game which enabled Levi to score the second touchdown. In the final few minutes the aerial attack was successfully resorted to, which brought the ball to the Mule's five yard line. First and goal, a fumble on an end smash and the Bulldogs lost the ball and the championship of the M. I. A. A. conference. Final score, Warrens- burg 19. Kirksville 12. What the Bulldog intended to do to the Warrcnsburg Mule, he did do on Nov. 12 to the Springfield Bears, who were returned to The land of a Million Smiles outpointed 44 to 7. Shall we rememlvr the Barker touchdowns? Four years had Stan played the game with never a chance to carry the coveted pig skin across the goal line: then in his last conference game, the four letter tackle suddenly picked up a fumbled ball in the midst of a mix-up and a moment later had deposited it safely behind the gad line. Still not satisfied with his first thrill the big fellow came out of another free-for-all a few minutes later with the ball, this time making 45 yards for another score. O. Craig took a fumble behind the Bear's line for a touchdown that day. It was a wonderful ge. ire. The last game of the season came on Turkey Day when the traditional ene- mies, the Bulldog and the Ram. of the School of Osteopathy, met. It was a hard game played on a muddy field. The Bulldogs won 22 to 14, thus proving them- selves the cit y champions. Ohauncey Simpson played his only game of the season and it was largely his good generalship that gave the Bulldogs their victory. Levi Craig received a badly injured knee.

This was Levi's second season and he can play any position in the backfield. As a general of the team he is hard to equal. “Levy runs hard in the open field and plays a good shifty game. With two more years he should be a wonderful asset to the backfield. John Simmons, weight 160 pounds, and a fast halfback. Hi was a good broken field runner and hit the line fast and hard. He could also get the passes and back up the defense. I li has another year with the Bulldogs. Albert Feurst, weight 175 pounds and a fullback of real champion caliber. He was awarded the Captaincy of the second albstate team, and given a berth on the all-confer- ence first team by others. This was Feurst's first year at Kirksville. He is a hard line driver and one of the best interference men on the squad. Feurst will be a great fullback during the next three years. r: - IjK Cottle, Halfback Rai.tzf.ll, Tackle O. Craics, End James Cottle, weight 155 pounds and a real halfback. Jimmy was another triple threat man. It was Jimmy's toe that often gave the bleachers their day s thrill when he booted field goals for forty five yards. It is his first year at K.. S. T. C. and it is men of his persistent calibre who will make our future teams. Winston Baltzell, weight 165 pounds, showed a reputation for taking on a tackle position next year. Plenty of fight and scrap characterizes Baltzell. He has three more years with us. Orville Craio, weight 180 pounds, all state end, and one of the headiest and most aggressive ends ever on the Bulldog squad. He has a knack of getting the tackles on the de' fense and can play a rushing offense. With two more years ahead of him Aggie should develop into a wonderful end. %9IHEB8S@QM Edward Adams, weight 156 pounds, a two year man at guard position who always made up for his lack of jxjundage in fight. Ed is a reliable guard and uses his head well on the defense. With two years ahead of him, he will bear watching as an M. I. A. A. line' man. Wirt Downing, weight 165 pounds, a center and a good one. Wirt was a sure passer and although not very large he was a bear on defense, playing a shifty game and ready to stop anything that came through or over. They never got too big or too tough for Wirt. With three more years ahead of him. we predict a great football record for him. Alfred Hutchinson, weight 160 pounds, a guard that always showed gcxxl ability in the tight places. This was Hutch's first year and he should make a real football player during the next three years. Adams, Uncini Downing. Center Hutchinson, Guard C 97 ] Vail, Guard Dubrinuer, H ilfhacl( Holman, Tackle Don Vail, weight 180 pounds, all conference guard and a solid one at that. Don always fought hard and kept tilings moving in the line, and could swap rough spots with the best of them. It is with regrets that we see this dependable guard of four years stand- ing pass to the Alumni list. Orrib Duerinoer, weight 163 pounds, a good half and quarter. He used good gen- eralship and hit the line low and hard. Orrie has three more years for the gridiron and has the ability to develop into a great hack field man. Pi:if. Holman, weight 170 pounds, all conference tackle on the second team. Pete was a hard tackling aggressive player, always down on the punts and got his man on the offense. It is indeed a loss to see this reliable tackle graduate from K. S. T. C. Protovia, Halfback Lehr, End Turner, Quarterback Harold (“Bud”) Protovia, weight 170, did seme fine work this season. This is Bud's first year in college, and with three years to play he should he a prize player. Harold Lehr, weight 170 pounds, who showed real caliber this season as end. We predict a future for Si during the next three years at K. S. 'I'. CL James Turner, weight 145 pounds, plays a real game at quarter or half. Jimmy could pass them any way they wanted to catch them. He was a gcx d shifty open field runner and speed made up for the lack of size. It was his first year and we expect much of him in the future. C99J Basketball m Champions! CHAMPIONS! And Champions for the first time in the history of K. S. T. O. were found in the '27 basketball aggregation. The Bulldog has often proved his calibre on the gridiron, but this season was the first to find K. S. T. C. ranking in the final laurels at the end of the cage season. The M. I. A. A. basket schedule results were hodge podge from beginning to end. The worst teams won from the best, and the best teams lost to the worst. Uncer- tainty was the word from January 20 until March 1. when the Bulldogs trounced Maryville in the last game of the season, thus rating themselves into a tie for the M. 1. A. A. Championship with Maryville. However the cage followers wasted little time in picking out the best team of the conference, even though final honors split accord' ing to the percentage basis. Kirksville defeated Maryville in three successive games and without doubt proved themselves the real basketeers of the conference. Even though the honors were divided, the Bulldogs were able to rank two men on the all conference team, one on the second, and several were up for honorable mention by sport authorities. The famous Craig brothers Levy and Aggie were the universal choice for first place among sport writers. Capt. Levi Craig led the conference scorers with 133 points, and was given the Captaincy of the all conference team. Orville Craig was also a general favorite among fans and coaches as an albconference guard. 11 is ag' gressive floor work and good judgment easily rated him this position. Simmons was chosen center for the albconference second team. It was Coach Faurots second year as a basketball coach at Kirksville. and the final record shows that of the nineteen games played, the Bulldogs were victors in fif- teen, and piled up a total of 587 points to their opponents 488. January 3, found the Bulldogs beginning to feel out their points, when they out' shadowed the Alumni team 67 to 25. One week later they were privileged a match with the Missouri University. While it was one of the best contests of the season from the standpoint of real playing, the Tigers outclassed 40 to 20. when the Bulldogs lost their basket-eye in the last half. The following night found Kirksville exhibiting symptoms of a good stride when they defeated the Kemper Military Academy 41 to 10. Fisher was high pointer of the game and all of the squad worked consistently. One more bout awaited the locals before they began the conference schedule, which was with the Cub ver'Stcckton Wildcats, the team that dealt the wallop in '26, but this occasion found the Teachers ready and they easily tuned the Wildcats 50 to 33. Capt. L. Craig began to find his basket eye and led the scoring. The real conference schedule opened on January 20, when the Bulldogs journeyed to Cape Girardeau for a pair of games with the Indians. Following the first game, word drifted back that the Rulldogs had outranked the southeasterners 31 to 28. but the next morning the home fans were puzzled to learn that the Cape team had turned the count in the second contest, winning 26 to 22. L. Craig was high scorer in both games. The defeat cost Kirksville the division of championship honors. On the return trip the Bulldogs defeated the St. Louis University Freshman team 31 to 26. January 31 brought our traditional rivals to Kirksville, the Springfield Bears. Never in the history of the two schmls had Kirksville won a basketball game from the “Ozarkians,” and the first night found the Bulldogs, true to custom, forfeiting 26 to 17. One night later, the ancient charm broke, when the favorites organized a strong defense and outmarked the Bears, 26 to 24. The fans began to take hope. February 4, Kirksville departed on the hardest lap of the season, when they played a trio of games in four days away from home. A pair of games at Warrensburg were split; the first night favoring the Bulldogs 21 to 26. L. Craig led the points again. The next night spelled disaster when the Mules won 37 to 27. Two days later at Spring- field the Bulldogs were again forced to eat the short end of the score by 39 to 29. Situa- tions had appeared far more brighter than did the chance for championship appear to Faurot and his Bulldogs, when they returned home. Maryville had “coped” the championship in '26, this season had found them win- ning from everything they had matched, including the St. Joseph Hillyards, National Champions of the previous year. So the Bearcats came to Kirksville determined to re- venge for the drubbing handed them in football. “But a 'jenks' followed the Bearcats stated Coach Lawrence of Maryville. The Bulldogs came out in their real fighting form for the first time of the season. The two teams rushed the game from the start. While the fans “rocked and roared the Bulldogs anil Bearcats battled as only evenly matched rivals can play. The gun interrupted the scramble and the game ended for the first even- ing with the Bulldogs holding a five point lead of 37 to 32. The battle was resumed the following night and both sides of the score board mounted simultaneously, and again the gun settled the winner by finding the Bulldogs with a narrow lead of 25 to 23. Faded hopes for championship began to take new color. This point marked the new era for the Bulldogs of '27. February 17. they easily won from Cape Girardeau on the home court by a score of 29 to 15. Protovia came to light in this game and proved himself to be high pointer. Two days later the Bulldogs further verified the prediction, that they had found their stride, by winning from War- rensburg 34 to 27. Again Protovia demonstrated his basket shooting ability. The Bull- dogs were fighting themselves steadily into first place. The last of the series brought a trio of victories, when the Bulldogs won from Chillicothe Business College 16 to 12. On the following night, in the crucial game of the year, they won again, and for the third time, from Maryville by a score of 27 to 21 thus giving them half interest in the M. I. A. A. Championship and the privilege of being credited as the best basketball team in the conference. The last game of the season came the following night, when the Bulldogs trounced the St. Joseph Junior College 29 to 24. This contest was all but lost at the end of the first half, with Kirksville shad- owing a short end of a 16 to 6 score. In the last lap the regulars started working and rounded out the final count. Thus ended the greatest basketball season in the history of K. S. T. C. and the most colorful in the records of the M. 1. A. A. conference. If next year finds Coach Faurot and .ill of his squad back, the school may well expect another championship, as all of the players have one more year of eligibility. •T The 1927 Champions Standing— Cottle, Simpson, Perry, Protovia, Fisher, Coach Faurot.

Because of sickness Bud was unable to finish the season, but while on the squad he did good work at forward and certainly had an eye for baskets. Orville Aggie” Craig is playing his second year on the squad. He is a fast, shifty floor guard and lias a good eye for the basket. He was unanimously chosen an All-Confer' ence guard. Kirksville can proudly claim Aggie.” Harold Bud Protovia started out at center, but ended up at forward owing to Bud Fisher's illness.

Our track team made a better showing than ever before, and striving against greater competition than had ever been known. On April 23 we lost a hard fought meet to Central, but the following week we came back strong and ranked second in the triangular meet with Warrensburg ami Maryville, losing by a slight margin to Warrensburg. In this meet some very outstanding work was done. The outstanding feature was the high jump which was broken (unofficially) by a K. S. 'I'. C. man. The next meet with Kemper we had not yet quite gained our stride and lost in a hard fought battle to the cadets. In the following meet May 18 we overwhelmingly defeated Culver-Stockton by a one-sided score. In the State Meet May the 14th we made a wonderful showing and came out third in the meet. Competition was exceedingly great in this contest and a number of records were broken. We have great ambitions for our track team and hope to see it still achiev- ing a higher goal by winning the State Meet next year. April 22 Culver'Stockton at Kirksville.

We know that this edition is not devoid of errors, but we hope you will uncritically disregard them, and promote the good feeling and fellow- ship of old K. S. T. O. In the publication of this book the staff has considered it a privi- lege as well as an honor and pleasure. We have enjoyed the work, and wish to sincerely thank those who have so earnestly co-operated with us in producing the Echo of 1927. We wish to express our appreciation to the Art Department and to Merrill Montgomery, past editor of the “Index,” for their valuable assistance rendered to us. We wish also to give special mention to Ken- neth Hopewell and Edwin Myers of the Kirksville High School, who have been of very valuable assistance to us. We wish to congratulate the next year's staff, and extend to them our best wishes for the Echo of 1928. The EdiUrr. mmm Irving Rector Business Manager Dorothy Loehr A.ss x:uite Art Editor Lyndell Gooch Associate Editor Russell Murfin Editor Naomi Shofstali. Art Editor Ralph Riggins Assistant Business Manager fIhe Index THE purpose of the Index, our school paper, is two-fold: to keep the school before the people of the district; to keep each member of the faculty and of the student body informed as to daily happenings on the campus. Although it is published, as a project, by the Journalism ('lass, it is truly a student publication. Each student is invited to make contri' buttons to the Index, upon any subject. Owing to the fact that the class and staff must be reorganized each quarter, a well organized, smoothly working staff is impossible. I lowever. the school feels it is an undertaking well worth the time spent upon it. $ d (Hie Student Directory0 ONE of the most important publications is the Student Directory which is published yearly to furnish the student body with iiv formation such as the name, location, and telephone number of each student enrolled in school. It also includes the various organizations and their officers. This year the Directory was very efficiently published by Charles Westrup and Stanley Barker. { 6£I ] - Top Row I.

At that time there was no drama taught outside of the plays of Shakespeare, which were taught as a part of English liter ature. Some students expressed a desire to produce one of Shakespeare's plays. They pro' duced it. liked the work, tried other plays, kept up the interest and formed a club which they called the Thalian Guild. This club grew and was finally called the Dramatic Club. Our own Mr. Wise was one of those “English” students whose initiative created the interest in drama in this school. He has always l een at the head of the movement. It is his own excellent scholarship, his intense love for the dramatic art, his winning per- sonality, his perseverance, his initiative, his leadership that has brought the club to it- present standards. The Club is now an organization limited to sixty members. It maintains a waiting list” of thirty people from which the membership roll is kept full. The Club meets regu- larly on Thursday evenings. There is a one-act play produced by members of the Club and mem a waiting list for each meeting. The Little Theater belongs solely to the Dramatic De- partment and is the home of the Dramatic Club. The Club lakes an active part in the life on the campus. It produces each year a num- ber of plays for public performance. There is one full evening play prepared each quarter. It also sponsors the importation of dramatic companies, dramatic readers and such enter tainment for the whole school. The play for the Fall quarter of 1926 was Andrades and the Lion by George Bernard Shaw. The play for the Winter quarter was Iphigenia at Tnuns by Euripides. The play for the Spring quarter is to bc’ Rollo's Wild Oats, 'a mod- ern comedy. Some of the talent brought in this year through the interest of the Club was Noah Beilharz, reader, and Coffer-Miller players, and Devereaux Players. One feature of the work of the Club is the production of a Circuit play for the year. This year Andrades and the Lion has been used for that purpose. It is cast from the abler members of the Club and is being presented in the various towns and communities of Northeast Missouri. It has proven successful and is always enjoyed. The Club has lived long enough to have established several traditions. It has cer- tain high artistic standards. It strives always to grow, to progress, to keep abreast of the times in the drama of our own country. It aims to fulfill one of the great purposes of edu- cation to make people's lives fuller and more abundant foi having come in contact with it. It is social in its functions and human in its interests. It stands for Better Drama and Better People. [ 144 } [ 145 } Company K, 138th Infantry0 Top Row Pvt. Chadwell, Pvt. Wright, 1st Lt.

Speech Club HE Speech Club is an organization of young people who desire an opportunity for practical experience in reading, speaking and debate. The first thing object ive of the club is the establishment of cer- tain idealisms within its membership, as regards form and delivery. The second objective is m keeping with modern principles of education, namely: the work of all times is kept in close relation with the everyday life of the individual. The programs and activities of the club are naturally formed by these objectives. Programs of reading are furnished by the members of the Good Friends Company who are from the club, and debate pro- grams are provided by those studying argumentation in class work. Each quarter every one participates in a dinner held in the Little Theatre for the purpose of good fellowship and for practical experience in conducting and being a member of a live dinner party. The Club also sponsors the Regents Award debate and the read- ing and speaking division of the High School Contests each year. Top Row Hardy, W. Griffith, Reedy, Cleeton, White.

Its general purpose is to benefit such students through special programs and discussions of topics which are of interest to all. The organization meets twice each month and has had some interesting meetings up to the present time. The faculty members of the Division of Language and Litera ture who are the advisers of the Club gave us valuable assistance in our first programs, but the aim of the organization is to maintain itself by the students for the students. The officers of the organization are elected by the members at the beginning of each quarter. We are the youngest organization of the kind in the College but watch us grow! { 160] [ 161 1 •7 THE School of Nursing was organized in 1923 in conjunction with the GrinvSmith Hospital and Clinic, and is accredited by the Mis- souri State Board of’ Nurse Examiners.
