HOMER HORATIO SEERLEY B. Ph. Iowa 1873, B. Di. Iowa 1875, M. A. Iowa 1876, L. L. D. Penn. 1898, L. L. D. Iowa 1901 It is with extreme pleasure that we, the Normal Eyte staff of 1904-1905, dedicate the closing number of our volume to Horner H. Seerlcy, President of the Iowa State Normal School. He is too well and widely known to need any enconiuin from us, so we shall con- tent ourselves with a simple sketch of the life of the man who has built for himself this high position and filled it as few others could. Born near Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1848, he moved with his farmer father to the prairies of .Illinois in 1852. Two years later the Seerleys crossed the Mississippi to become pioneers of Iowa, and settled near South English in Keokuk county. Here in the winter of 1855, the future president of the State Normal School began his connection with the Iowa public school system by attending district school. Ilis father as secretary of the school board, built the first school house in the district and Homer was one of the first pupils. His education was obtained in the elementary schools of Keokuk county, in the preparatory of the state university C1866-18675 and in the collegiate department Q1869-18735. He grad- uated Ph. B. in 18713 and at once began teaching as a career. His ptiblic school record is as follows: District school C1867 and ISTU, assistant in high school Oskaloosa C1873-18743, principal of high school Oskaloosa H874-18755, and superintendent of the Oskaloosa schools M875-1SS6j. His work as a trainer of teachers began in the llahaska county normal insti- tute which he conducted for ten years USTT-18865, and which was notable enough to call attention to hiin as the right kind of an executive for the Normal School. In 1886 Iowa called him to this larger Held of action and since then his history has been the history of our school. I i i . l . x TI-IE PRESIDENTS COTTAGE COR. 24TH AND NORMAL STS. 3
