New Iersey State Teachers' College TVX'-. Paterson, N. I. sn, if t S New jersey State Teachers' College at Paterson was established in 1855 as a City 1nst1- tution for the purpose of providing teachers for the City of Paterson. In the early days ses- sions were held outside of regular school hours on Saturdays or during late hours of the regu- lar school day. Later regular sessions were established with hours similar to those of other schools and a regular one-year course was provided. In the early nineties the course was in- creased to two years, and it has gradually increased to its present proportions, In 1925 it became a State Normal School supervised by the State Board of Education. Beginning in September, 1929, the course was lengthened to three years, and in May, 1955, to four. For the successful completion of this curriculum the B.S. degree in Elementary Educa- tion is conferred. The first class to study for the degree was admitted in September, 1935. In September, 1937, the scope of the curriculum was enlarged to include the two-year General College Department, and on April 9, 1945, the State Board of Education brought another innovation to Paterson State Teachers' College by authorizing the College to prepare students as teachers of kindergarten and business education subjects in high schools in New Jersey. -Tfzkczz from the zllmzznzl of lbe Legirfclflllff Of New fH'J'6'-1 169ffJ 5653012 - 1945.
