The first recorded suggestion that a publicly supported Normal School be established in Whatcom County was made in l886, and resulted in the creation of Northwest Normal School of Lynden. This act influenced the establishment ofthe New What- com State Normal School on Belling- ham Bay-later to be named Belling- ham Normal in l899, Western Washington College of Education in l937, and more recently, Western Washington State College. During the first two decades the foundation of college life were laid under the leadership of Dr. Edward T. Mathes and Dr. George W. Nash. Beginning with a program combining secondary education with two years of professional training, the institu- tion added a third year during the first decade and a fourth year by l9l7. The Normal School then had four buildings, an increase in fac- ulty from lO to 58, and l,2211 registered students.
