Joseph Baldwin LOOKING FORWARD . . . from a past of seventy-two years you might anticipate a great future for our school, especially when you consider the charges that have taken place during that period of time. Some of these changes have been in the curriculum, in the methods of instruction, in organizations, in the students, in the admin- istration, in the campus, and even in the college yearbook. Through the years from the time of the first president and pio- neer educator, Joseph Baldwin, a continual growth and expan- sion has taken place in the school along with the progress and development of our state and nation. It was in 1867 that Pro- fessor Baldwin established his Normal School which was later to become the Northeast Missouri State Teachers College.
