The College 1916- 1936 The Eau Claire State Teachers’ College has passed through several stages in its development to its present position. The school was started in 1916 as the youngest of the nine Wisconsin Normal Schools. At first, in common with the other Wisconsin Normal Schools, our institution offered the one-year certificate and the two-year and three-year diploma courses. In 1926, by an act of the legislature, all of the Normal Schools in Wisconsin were made State Teachers’ Colleges with full collegiate rank and the authority to grant the degree of Bachelor of Education. Until 1934, the only four-year course offered, and, therefore, the only one leading to a degree, was the High School Teachers’ course. In that year the minimum training of rural school teachers was increased to two years, and of grammar and primary grades teachers to three years. Also, in 1934, four-year courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Education in Elementary Education were organized so that one may take either a three-year elementary course or a four-year course leading to the Bachelor of Education degree. These steps in the development of the present Eau Claire State Teachers’ College program have been common to all Wisconsin Teachers’ Colleges, each in keeping with educational progress throughout the country. This college is like the other Teachers’ Colleges of Wisconsin except that wc train teachers for only the regular school subjects, whereas some of the others specialize. When the leading Teachers’ Colleges of the United States decided, a few years ago, to form the American Association of Teachers’ Colleges and make the organization an accrediting agency, Eau Claire became a charter member. Since then, the ever higher standards of the association have consistently been met by this college.
