FOREWORD
The purpose of this bulletin is to compile such data pertaining
to the Southern Illinois State Normal University as may be of
interest and value, not merely at the present time, but more espec-
ially for future readers, when many details, now at hand, would be
difficult to obtain ; for one of the derelictions of many people is the
lamentable lack of permanent and reliable records of significant
events, and of the persons who figured in those events.
Doubtless an embarrassing number of errors have found their
way into these few pages thru one cause and another; and items
of real worth have been overlooked, due in part to the weakness
of the human memory and to the lack of proper record being
made at the time of their occurrence.
The author of this bulletin acknowledges, with much gratitude,
his indebtedness to the many friends who have kindly supplied
much valuable information which could not otherwise have been
obtained; to the History of Jackson County and to the early
pages of the "Anniversary Souvenir" published in connection
with the "Quarter Centennial" of the Institution, which was
observed in an elaborate program during the Commencement Week
of June 1899.

A HISTORICAL SKETCH
OF THE
SOUTHERN ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL
UNIVERSITY
The people of this republic are justly proud of their public
school systems and of their institutions of higher learning. The
history of each of these two classes of schools reveals the true
spirit of the American civilization; it exhibits a rational basis for
a nation's growth and perpetuity, as it provides for an enlightened
citizenship.
The enormous wealth annually poured into the public and
institutional treasuries for these sources of enlightenment and
culture indicates, in some measure at least, the estimate our people
place upon the proper training and evolution of the powers of her
children and youth, in order that they may be thoroly equipped
for the duties and relationships of life, realizing in some sense the
responsibility of one generation to provide the best conditions
possible for the one to follow.
Such being the case, an historical account of any one of these
institutions should be of more than passing interest, especially to
its immediate friends who know somewhat of its career, to those
who may have been its beneficiaries and to those who may be in
the coming years. There are reasons why this is peculiarly true
of a typical normal school for its special function is to prepare
those who are to be the special factors in the education of the
people. It may not be irrelevant to the protest against the unwar-
ranted use of the term normal by those who appropriate it for its
commercial value, since they seem to have but little claim for its
use, save the prestige it may afford the school. The "Summer
Normals," not yet wholly extinct in some parts of the state, is an
example of its unfair application.
The "Prairie State" may well boast of the provision she has
made for this special training of her actual and prospective teach-
ers, having now five well equipped state normal schools, receiving
thru the last General Assembly the liberal amount of $1,427,750.00
for the biennium, extending from July 1, 1913, to June 30, 1915.
S
This amount seems incredible when it is remembered that it seemed
almost an impossibility to secure even a few thousand dollars for
the older normal school in the early sixties and not much easier
a full decade later when the Southern Illinois normal school
united its forces with those of her older sister in pleading for
appropriations.
A PRETENTIOUS TITLE
The question is frequently asked, why are the two older schools
called normal universities? In brief, the answer is as follows:
The distinguished title was given to the older one that she might
participate in the use of an educational fund, set apart by the
general government which amounted to nearly thirteen thousand
dollars per annum. When the Southern Illinois normal school
came into being its friend insisted that it should have a no less
pretentious name and also share in the interest on the College and
Seminary Fund. In establishing the three later schools it was
decided to give them names similar to those of other state normal
schools and more in keeping with the purpose of the institutions.
EARLY AGITATION
The subject of this sketch had its statutory birth by an act of
the legislature in 1869, the bill receiving the approval of Governor
John M. Palmer on April 20. Previous to this date however, the
friends of education in the southern part of Illinois realized the
need of a training school for teachers and were discussing the
matter privately and at public gatherings. From a chapter in the
"History of Jackson County," prepared by Professor S. E. Har-
wood in 1878, it appears that at a meeting of teachers in an insti-
tute held at Salem in the spring of 1868, it was decided to make
a formal call for a meeting to be held in Centralia in the follow-
ing September. A few days later a similar action was taken by
a company of teachers at Carbondale, apparently without any
knowledge of the action taken at Salem, calling a meeting to be
held at Carbondale in the latter part of May or early part of
June. The meeting was held on June 24, resulting in plans for
a general meeting to be held in Centralia on September 1. It is
claimed that this initial meeting at Carbondale was largely due
to the enthusiastic efforts of the Rev. Clark Braden, then President
of the Southern Illinois College then in operation at Carbondale,
located on the site now occupied by the Lincoln School building.
It is also stated that Dr. Robert Allyn, then President of Me.
Kendree College, wrote the call for the general meeting which was
held in Centralia. The account further states that nearly one
thousand persons were present at the meeting in Carbondale, repre-
senting quite every county in the southern end of the state.
THE FIRST LEGISLATIVE ENACTMENT
The Centralia meeting resulted in the appointment of a com-
mittee to present the matter before the next General Assembly,
which was to meet the following January. This was effectually
done, consummating in the passage of a bill appropriating $75,000
for establishing a normal school in southern Illinois. The bill was
approved by Governor Palmer, March 9, 1869.
In due time the following persons were named by the governor
as "Charter Trustees:" Captain David Hurd of Cairo, General
Eli Boyer of Olney, Colonel Thomas M. Harris of Shelbyville,
Rev. Elihu J. Palmer of Carbondale, brother of the governor, and
Samuel J. Plannagan of Benton.
THE LOCATION OF THE INSTITUTION
It was no unusual thing that much interest centered about the
matter of just where in southern Illinois, should the new educa-
tional institution be located. The contestants were Pana, Vandalia,
Olney, Carlyle, Centralia, Tamaroa, Duquoin and Carbondale.
Intense interest developed and the strife became disagreeably
warm; so much so that after over forty four years have passed
there still survive traces of the lack of genuine brotherly love. To
secure this prize, Carbondale assumed an obligation which has
proved a burden till the present time.
The particular site chosen is a tract of about twenty acres
lying at the southern limits of the town and adjacent to the right
of way of the Illinois Central Railroad, on the west side thereof.
It may be appropriate to add that Carbondale had a warm friend
in the person of the late General John A. Logan, whose residence
was at that time in Carbondale.
While the appropriation made by the Legislature was but
$75,000.00 the little town of Carbondale and other friends in
Jackson County contributed enough to authorize the Board of
Trustees to let the contract for the building amounting to $210,000.
The plans and specifications were made by Thomas Walsh of St.
Louis.
8
The corner stone was laid on May 17, 1870 with very impressive
exercises, under the direction of the Masonic Fraternity; Grand
Master, H. G. Reynolds conducting the ceremonies. The report
states that not less than fifteen thousand people were present on
that occasion. President Richard Edwards of the other normal
school and Dr. Robert Allyn were the principal speakers in addi-
tion to Mr. Reynolds.
DEATH OF CONTRACTOR
During the erection of the building, the contractor, Mr. James
Mr. Campbell was almost instantly killed by the falling of a large
timber. Because of some features of the terms of the contract, the
death of Mr. Campbell caused some difficulty in completing the
building. To meet this emergency the state undertook to finish
the task. Consequently the Board of Charter Trustees was aban-
doned and in their stead six Building Commissioners were
appointed, viz. John Wood of Cairo, Elihu Palmer of Carbondale,
Hiram Walker of Jonesboro, R. H. Sturgiss of Yandalia, Nathan
Bishop of Marion, and F. M. Malone of Anna. On account of
these unexpected delays and new conditions the entire cost of the
building and its furnishings amounted to nearly $265,000.00.
STYLE OP ARCHITECTURE
Since this building was destroyed, a brief description thereof
may not be amiss at this time. The style of architecture was of
the Norman type; the walls were of red brick trimmed with red
sandstone of two colors. The extreme length was 215 feet, the
extreme width was 109 feet, four stories in height, the first being
14 feet, the second 18 feet, the third 22 feet and the fourth, or
mansard, 19 feet. Their uses were as follows : the first for janitor's
rooms, heating apparatus, chemical laboratory and a carpenter's
shop; the second and third for offices, class rooms and a large
study hall; the fourth for the library, museum, two literary halls
and an assembly hall.
Anticipating the completion of the building in a short time,
Governor John L. Beveridge, in 1873, appointed the following
persons to constitute the first regular board which should, as their
first duty, select a faculty of instruction, and provide suitable
furniture, apparatus, and such other equipment as they deemed
necessary: Edwin S. Russell of Mt. Carmel, James Robarts of
Carbondale, Lewis M. Phillips of Nashville, Thomas S. Ridgway
of Shawneetown, and Jacob W. Wilkin of Marshall. The board
was organized as follows: President, Thomas S. Ridgway; Secre-
tary, Dr. Robarts; Treasurer, John G. Campbell; Registrar,
Charles W. Jerome.
By an act of the General Assembly of 1889 the Superintendent
of public Instruction became ex-officio member of the board of
trustees thereafter.
DEDICATION AND OPENING
The completed building was dedicated on July 1, 1874. The
principal speakers were Dr. Richard Edwards who came to take
the place of the State Superintendent, Dr. Newton Bateman, who
was unable to be present on account of illness, President Charles
H. Fowler of Northwestern University, Dr. Robert Allyn the
newly elected president of the institution, Hon. J. J. Bird of Cairo,
and the president of the new board of trustees, Thos. S. Ridgway.
On the following day, July 2, the doors of the institution were
thrown open to the young people of the state, especially of the
southern part, in a special session of four weeks length. The first
regular session was opened on the sixth of September, when the
school was hopefully launched upon its career of usefulness.
The members of the faculty were enthusiastic and co-operative
in every good word and work; the people of Carbondale were
responsive to every call for assistance and sympathetic support, a
condition that does not always prevail in older institutions when
local interests become more varied and complex.
BURNING OF THE FIRST BUILDING
To one, not on the ground and not familiar with the conditions
then existing in Southern Illinois, it is difficult to imagine the
feeling of the people toward the new institution that meant so
much to the present and future generations in intellectual and
social attainments. The building was the pride of the town and
of the entire state. But its glory was of short duration; for on
the afternoon of November 26, 1883 it was discovered to be on fire
at the south end in the mansard roof. The wind being in the
north, the burning was less rapid than it otherwise would have
been, giving more time for saving the furniture, apparatus and
the valuable library, which had been selected with much care by
President Allyn. By the heroic efforts of the student body, the
faculty and the citizens of the town, nearly all the valuable material
10
was rescued from the flames except that in the museum, which was
indeed very creditable for one so few years in collecting.
Notwithstanding the great loss and paralyzing effect of so
serious a catastrophe, the stricken people, one and all, rallied to
the emergency by calling a mass meeting the same evening and
matured plans for carrying on the school, with a loss of only the
following day, Wednesday, as Thursday was Thanksgiving and
no school was to be held on Friday. By the following Monday
morning a sufficient number of halls, offices, and churches in the
town had been tendered the institution to enable the school to
resume its regular work.
THE TEMPORARY BUILDING
Thru the timely liberality of the citizens of Carbondale, mem-
bers of the faculty and others, a temporary building was promptly
erected on the campus and ready for use by the following Febru-
ary. This was a temporary home for the school while it awaited
the action of the next General Assembly which would not meet
in regular session till January 1885, more than a year off.
This improvised home was constructed in the form of a Greek
cross, one story in height, the center being used for the assembly
hall and study room and the arms for recitation rooms in such
manner that all departments were provided for. It was indeed
a unique structure, having its limitations and imperfections, but
it served to keep the school intact and in running order till the
Legislature met and made provision for rebuilding. Had the school
disbanded, the chances for an appropriation for rebuilding would
doubtless have been endangered, as at that time the normal schools
of Illinois were not on as good footing as they are at the present
time.
The experiences and lessons taught by this seeming calamity
had their compensations, and are remembered with much interest
by those who participated therein.
THE RESTORED BUILDING
The 34th General Assembly, which convened in the early part
of January 1885, responded promptly and liberally to the call for
an appropriation with which to rebuild, granting $152,065.00 for
said purpose. It had been determined that the foundation and
the walls of the first story were practically uninjured and by a
small expense would be as good as they ever were, thus saving a
11
large part of what otherwise would be necessary to restore the
building. In this respect the board established a precedent which
has guided their successors, with but few exceptions, in their
requests for funds, that of limiting their askings to the amount
necessary to accomplish the purpose in mind; not planning to
consume the amount appropriated in partially completing a build-
ing, and afterward going before the legislature for another request
for funds. In this particular instance a small balance was returned
to the state treasury.
The plans and specifications were prepared by Mr. Isaac
Taylor of St. Louis. The contract was let to Messrs. Parry &
Deal of Peoria. The Supt. of Construction was Mr. Isaac Eapp of
Carbondale. The dedicatory exercises were held on February 24,
1887, the principal speakers were Governor Eichard J. Oglesby,
who had approved the bill on June 27, 1885, Thomas S. Eidgway
and President Eobert Allyn. In many respects the new structure
is superior to the former one.
There was a feeling of great rejoicing when the school entered
into its new home, after many months of cramped quarters and
serious inconveniences. So significant was this occurrence in the
life of the institution that a large portion of the history of the
school dates either "before" or "after" the "fire."
There were some serious objections to having a fourth story
to the first building, and when the fire had its origin in the mansard
part it was no difficult matter to have the style of architecture
so altered as to eliminate the fourth story in the new building.
Retaining the foundation walls, the general contour of the restored
structure is necessarily the same, but the roof is quite unlike the
former one.
THE SCIENCE BUILDING
In the course of a few years, less than a decade, it became
necessary to make more ample provision for the ever growing needs
of the school. The several departments of science were needing
larger space for laboratory facilities, and the library had outgrown
the spacious room that had been assigned to it. To meet these
demands the 39th General Assembly made an appropriation of
$40,000.00 for the erection of a Science building. The bill was
approved by Governor John P. Altgeld on June 7, 1895. The
architect for this building was Mr. C. Ward Eapp of Chicago. The
contract was given to M. T. Lewman & Co. of Louisville, Ky. The
corner stone "was laid by the Honorable Owen Scott, Grand
12
Master A. F. A. M., State of Illinois, July 21, A. D. 1896:— A.
L. 5826." This building was dedicated on December 22, 1896. The
principal speakers were the president of the board of trustees,
Hon. Charles W. Bliss, President H. W. Everest, and Judge W.
W. Barr.
THE LIBRARY BUILDING
The continued growth of the school in the enrichment of its
courses of study and the needs of the library in a few years made
it necessary to consider the matter of more room. At the sugges-
tion of the president of the board, Judge S. P. Wheeler, it was
decided to make an effort to secure an appropriation for the erec-
tion of a library building. In compliance with the appeal, the 43rd
General Assembly set apart $25,000.00 for this purpose. The Bill
was approved by Gov. Richard Yates on May 15, 1903 ; Mr. C.
Ward Rapp was asked to prepare the plans and specifications ; his
father, Mr. Isaac Rapp, was employed to superintend the construc-
tion; the contract was given to the Southern Illinois Construction
Company of East St. Louis.
The building was dedicated on June 6, 1904, the principal
address being delivered by Judge Wheeler. Because of his deep
interest in the institution for so many years, and his special inter-
est in the new home for the library, his colleagues named this, the
third building in the plant, in his honor. Thru the kindness of
Mrs. Wheeler a very excellent likeness of Mr. Wheeler was given
to the library, a very acceptable and appropriate contribution to
the walls that are most dear to the student body, to the faculty
and to all who frequent its precincts.
The General plan of this building provided a second story of
steel stacks and glass floor so as to provide for almost a double
amount of shelf room. The 47th General Assembly made an appro-
priation of $2,000.00 for this purpose as the capacity of the lower
floor had been reached. These latter steel stacks were placed by
the Library Bureau people of Chicago. With the present equip-
ment it will be a number of years before additional shelf room will
be needed.
THE MODEL SCHOOL BUILDING
From 1887 till 1909 the Training School was housed in the
lower story of the main building under conditions that never were
satisfactory because of insufficient light, imperfect ventilation and
unsanitary conditions in general. In order to remove these objec-
tionable features the 45th General Assembly was asked to make an
appropriation of $50,000.00 for the erection of a special home for
13
this very important department of the institution. Said bill was
passed, and received the approval of Governor Charles S. Deneen
on May 27, 1907. The contract was let to the Hanson Brothers of
Chicago. The plans and specifications were prepared by the state
architect, William Carbyss Zimmerman; the Superintendent of
Construction was Mr. Walter W. Friedline. Because of the parti-
cular character of work to be done here it was fitting that the
corner stone should be laid by a representative of the Alumni
Association. The member selected to perform this delightful task
was a member of the valedictorian of the first graduating class,
Miss Mary Wright, of Cobden, Illinois. These exercises were held
on June 4, 1908.
This building was dedicated with a special program on January
11, 1909. Superintendent Francis G. Blair, Hon. William F.
Bundy, President of the Board, and Professor Samuel E. Harwood,
Superintendent of the Training School were the speakers.
A special appropriation of $1,000.00 was made by the following
Legislature for furnishing the building.
It was a very appropriate expression of the esteem in which
Dr. Robert Allyn is still held in the affections of the people to
name this home of the training school the "Allyn Building."
BAYLISS FIELD AND GRAND STAND
Among other contributions made in order to secure the normal
school at Carbondale, was a tract of land containing about eleven
acres lying just east of the public school property and extending
to the city limits on the east. Not until about 1900 was there any
use made of this property. The demand for an athletic field became
sufficiently strong to justify the expenditure of sufficient funds
to put this tract in condition for use in the way indicated. It
was enclosed with a suitable fence, trees were planted in large
numbers next to the outside in three rows, and a running track
was constructed. In 1905 a cottage was built on the premises
as a home of one of the janitors, who would serve as care-taker
of the entire property. In 1907 a grand stand was built at a cost
of $1,000.00, which has a capacity of seating 1,000 people. An
explanation of the naming of this field is given on another page.
THE WOMAN'S BUILDING
In the early years of the school there seemed to be but little
difficulty in securing satisfactory boarding places for the students,
14
but in later years conditions in these matters had so changed that
the housing of the students became a serious problem, which in-
creased with the years, till a dormitory, at least for the young
women, seemed to be imperative. The first attempt to secure an
appropriation was unsuccessful, but the second effort secured the
passage of a bill setting apart $75,000.00, a reduction of $25,000.00
from the amount asked for. The bill was approved by Governor
Deneen, May 27, 1911.
Because of a large number of bills for new buildings having
been passed by the 47th General Assembly, it was found necessary
to defer the erection of some of them till the second year of the
biennium. The normal schools were thot better able to wait than
those intended to accomodate the wards of the commonwealth. In
due time the plans and specifications were prepared by state archi-
tect, Mr. Zimmerman, the contract let to "The Schmidt Brothers
Co." of Chicago, with Mr. Walter W. Friedline as superintendent
of construction.
Because of repeated delays and disappointments the dormitory
was scarcely ready for occupancy at the opening of the present
school year, 1913-1914 ; but under the circumstances it was decided
to open its doors to the young ladies without further delay. Its
appreciation by the young women was shown by their eagerness
to enjoy its privileges and comforts even before the school year
opened. In a short time all the rooms were taken and at once it
became the center of the social life of the institution, and sets a
standard in many of the relationships of the student.
In the selection of an appropriate name for the Woman's Build-
ing it was finally decided to name it in honor of the noted advocate
of "Woman Suffrage" and other phases of woman's advancement,
Susan B. Anthony. Hereafter much of the life of the Southern
Illinois Normal University will center in and around "Anthony
Hall."
Anthony Hall was formally dedicated on the afternoon of
October 23, 1913, in connection with the installation of President
Shryock, an account of which appears elsewhere, the principal
speakers being Senator Kent E. Keller, Hon. W. W. Williams, a
member of the Board of Trustees, Judge W. W. Barr, President
of the Board, Mrs. Judge Butler of Cairo, and President Henry
W. Shryock. The occasion was one of unusual interest and was
enjoyed by a large concourse of students, people of the city and
from many surrounding cities. These significant and enjoyable
15
exercises were concluded in the evening by a public reception held
in the parlors of Anthony Hall, a very fitting closing of the day's
program.
BOARDS OF TRUSTEES
As stated in an earlier page, the bill providing for the estab-
lishment of the institution called for the appointment of a Board
of Charter Trustees. On account of the death of the contractor
and some serious shrinkage in the subscriptions to the fund which
secured the location of the school, the state assumed the completion
of the building by the appointment of six Building Commissioners.
Upon the completion of their work this board was abandoned and
in their stead a regular Board of Trustees was appointed, who with
their successors and subsequent successors from term to term, have
served the state till the present time. Their names and dates of
appointment and retirement are as follows:

THE FACULTY
The following is a list of the Faculty from the opening of the
Institution to the date of this Bulletin, April, 1914, the first
eleven constituting the faculty for the first three years; also, the
offices held in the faculty, the more important branches taught,
and degrees received, either before coming to the institution or
afterward. Prior to 1893 the Annual Catalog did not publish the
degrees held by members of the faculty, which makes it very diffi-
cult at this time to obtain reliable data on this matter ; hence some
omissions of degrees which otherwise would be given.

PERSONAL MENTION
It would be a source of much pleasure to the compiler of these
notes to dwell with some detail upon the services of each of the
different members of the several Boards of Trustees, and of the
Faculties, but space will not permit. However, he takes the privi-
lege of making brief mention of the officers of each group and a
few others.
PRESIDENTS OF THE BOARDS
By consulting the full list of trustees it will be observed that
the Hon. Thomas S. Ridgway of Shawneetown was the first to
occupy this responsible position, being appointed in the latter part
of 1873 and served till the spring of 1893; his retirement along
with that of his colleagues being due to a change of state adminis-
tration.
Mr. Ridgway possessed many qualities that rendered him an
efficient administrative officer. It was during this period of his
life that he served one term as state treasurer. Four years after
his retirement from the board he was tendered a reappointment
thereon, but his somewhat impaired health and extensive business
26
interests prompted him to decline the honor and the responsibility.
He died not long after this date. The small body of water on the
campus is called in his honor, "Lake Ridgway."
Mr. Ridgway was succeeded by the Hon. Charles W. Bliss of
Hillsboro, who also made an excellent officer in said capacity. It
was during his term of office that the Science building was erected
and equipped. Upon the resignation of Mr. Bliss and his col-
leagues, all of whom were appointed by Governor Altgeld, a new
board, with the exception of the State Superintendent, Mr. Inglis,
was appointed by Governor Tanner. Judge Samuel P. Wheeler
of Springfield, who had served on the board from 1883 to 1893,
was chosen by his associates as their president, which position he
occupied till the date of his resignation in 1906. His two terms
of service aggregated seventeen years. In recognition of his long
and valuable service in this capacity his colleagues on the board
named the library in his honor, an account of which is noted on
a previous page.
Dr. F. C. Vandervort of Bloomington, who had been a mem-
ber since 1899, was made Judge Wheeler's successor in 1906. In
this capacity he served till 1909 ; making a period of ten years of
faithful labor and attention to the needs of the institution. The
doctor took a deep interest in all matters pertaining to the school,
very rarely missing a meeting of the board.
Upon the retirement of Dr. Vandervort, the Hon. William F.
Bundy was promoted to the presidency. Having been a student
of the school at the time of the burning of the first building,
it was not strange that he manifested unusual interest in its
welfare. Upon the resignation of Mr. Bundy and the other
members, except the State Superintendent, in 1913, a new board
was placed in charge, and Judge W. W. Barr of Carbondale was
elected President. Having taken an active part in securing favor-
able legislation for the institution in its early years, and later in
securing the appropriation for rebuilding, after the fire, it was
regarded by all who were familiar with the facts, a very wise and
appropriate selection, and they anticipate a continuation of the
prosperity and an enlargement of the usefulness of the school.
SECRETARIES OF THE BOARDS
Every one familiar with the history of the institution would
question the faithfulness of any chronicle of its affairs and its
servants were not some little space given to the local members of
the Board who gave unstintingly of their time and counsel that
27
the school might serve the state wisely. The first in this list was
Dr. James Kobarts, a member of the first board to take charge of
the institution upon the completion of the first building, and to
organize the work of the school. As shown in the list of trustees,
Dr. Robarts was the local member, and was the first secretary.
Being a professional man of rare attainments, having been gradu-
ated from one of the best medical colleges of the country, the
Jefferson of Philadelphia, his ideals were above the ordinary.
Naturally, he was ambitious for the new school and was in favor
of its being in fact what it was in name, a university. In this
he was disappointed. His service in the army as surgeon and his
extensive practice in Southern Illinois gave him a prestige which
was of great value to the school. His official connection with the
institution continued from 1873 to 1885, a period of twelve years.
Dr. Robarts was succeeded by Captain E. J. Ingersoll, also of
Carbondale, and likewise made Secretary of the board. Mr.
Ingersoll, along with Judge Barr, Senator Lemma and others, was
very influential in securing the appropriation of $152,065.00 for
rebuilding after the fire. During the progress of the work, Cap-
tain Ingersoll was a daily visitor at the building and gave freely
of his excellent judgment in multitudes of occasions when it was
timely counsel. While in the General Assembly in 1895, Mr.
Ingersoll was the author of the bill authorizing the appropriation
of $40,000.00 for the erection of what is now known as the Science
Building.
During the construction of the Library Building the Captain
was again a member of the Board and showed the same unselfish
spirit in watching the progress of the work he had exhibited at
all other times when his advice was of value to the institution.
As indicated above, Mr. Ingersoll was a member of the Board
at two different times, the first extending thru eight years, the
second thru five years, making a total of thirteen years. At the
close of his first term he was succeeded by his fellow townsman,
Mr. Samuel W. Dunnaway as local trustee. During his term of
service, the Science Building was added to the plant in addition
to many other improvements. Mr. Dunnaway was no exception
in the matter of devotion to the best interest of the school. His
successor as local member and secretary, was the late Col. Frank
A. Prickett, whose term of service covered three years.
Mr. Hugh Lauder was the successor to Captain Ingersoll whose
second term followed that of Colonel Prickett. He also, was secre-
tary of the board and the local member. During Mr. Lauder 's
28
term of eight years the grand-stand on Bayliss Field, the Allyn
Building, and the Woman's building were added to the rapidly
growing plant. In addition to these acquisitions the state farm
of nearly sixty acres was purchased. It was thru the business
sagacity of Mr. Lauder that the purchase was made at a veiy oppor-
tune time and on very reasonable terms. While he was interested
in all phases of the school's prosperity, he was more deeply con-
cerned in the enlargement and development of the Agricultural
department, and retired with the feeling that he had been instru-
mental in establishing one of the most important departments of
the Institution.
THE TREASURERS OF THE BOARD
Upon an examination of the lists of trustees and their officers it
will be noticed that those who have served as custodians of the
state's funds have been among the prominent citizens of Carbon-
dale.
The first to assume this responsible task was Mr. John Gr.
Campbell, son of Mr. James M. Campbell, the contractor who lost
his life in the erection of the building. His period of service
extended from 1874 to 1878. The funds were kept by the banking
firm of Richart and Campbell who were leading merchants of
Carbondale, this Mr. Campbell being a brother of the treasurer.
The funds of the institution, issued by the state treasurer by quar-
terly allowances, were kept by this firm till the summer of 1895.
Mr. John Campbell was followed by the appointment of John
S. Bridges, who was treasurer from 1878 till his death in 1890;
one year longer than the one next to him in length of service.
Mr. Bridges was succeeded by Mr. Samuel T. Brush till 1893, when
Mr. James M. Evans was appointed treasurer and served till 1897,
the close of Governor Altgeld's administration.
Mr. E. K. Porter was then made the custodian of the funds
of the school, and remained in charge till 1900, when Mr. Harry
R. Searing of the class of 1887 was made his successor. Mr. Sear-
ing served but one year, when Dr. H. C. Mitchell was selected as
the keeper of the funds from 1901 till 1905. He was followed by
Mr. Porter, who has had the distinction of being appointed the
second time to the important position of treasurer, and also of
making out the monthly and quarterly reports in a most complete
and approved form. In addition to this he gave his personal atten-
tion to the minutest details of the office, and the courtesies thereof
to members of the faculty and others who had business relations
with the treasurer.
29
Mr. Porter was succeeded by Mr. Charles E. Hamilton, the
present incumbent, who will, without doubt, preserve the dignity
of the office.
STATE SUPERINTENDENTS
It would be a grave oversight, indeed, not to go outside the list
of officials of the boards of trustees and give at least a passing
notice of the state superintendents, who by virtue of their office
became members of the several boards of trustees of state educa-
tional institutions, under the act of the legislature of 1889. It
is sad to note that the only person now living who has occupied that
exalted position since this law became effective, except the present
incumbent, is the Hon. J. H. Freeman of Aurora, who completed the
unexpired term caused by the death of Mr. Inglis.
It was a wise provision to bring to the several boards of the
state the ripe scholarship, large experience and broad vision of
those who must necessarily view the problems of these institutions
in the light of the entire system of education in the commonwealth.
Dr. Richard Edwards, then late President of the Illinois State
Normal University, was the first to enter upon the duties thus
provided for. Since the law became effective during his term of
office, he was a member but two years, but the influence of his
personality and familiarity with school problems of Illinois was
of immense value to the school. In 1891 he was succeeded by Supt.
Henry Raab of Belleville, retiring in 1895. His rugged person-
ality and profound earnestness had a salutary influence upon the
policies of the board. Mr. Raab's deep solicitude for the primary
and elementary grades in the public schools of the state showed
itself in some advanced policies in the training department of the
normal school here.
Professor Samuel M. Inglis of Greenville, who became a mem-
ber of the board of trustees thru the appointment of Governor
Cullom in 1881, served till 1883 when he was elected a member of
the faculty. From 1892 to 1894 he was secretary of the faculty.
In the fall of 1894 he was elected Supt. of Public Instruction
which continued his connection with the institution but in a more
official capacity. His long acquaintance with the school rendered
his services all the more valuable.
Upon the death of Mr. Inglis in the summer of 1898, his
Assistant, the Honorable J. H. Freeman, was appointed to fill out
the unexpired term, till the following January. This short period
gave Mr. Freeman but little opportunity to affect the workings of
30
the school ; however his keen insight into the merits of any proposed
plans was highly appreciated by his colleagues and the president
of the school.
In 1899 Professor Alfred Bayliss of Streator became Supt. of
Public Instruction. He gave freely of his time and counsel to the
welfare of the school. His sound judgment coupled with a wide
knowledge of educational forces at work in the state was of great
significance to the institution. By his oft repeated observations
relative to the school at Carbondale, it was known that the Southern
Illinois State Normal University had a very warm place in Mr. Bay-
liss' affections. This feeling was mutual, as the entire student body
and the faculty held him in the highest esteem, and were inspired
by his kindly counsel, lofty ideals and cordial greetings. It seemed
proper to name the athletic field in his honor. His tragic and
untimely taking away was a great shock to his many friends at
the Carbondale school.
Mr. Bayliss was followed in 1907 by the Honorable Francis
Gr. Blair, who had been Superintendent of the training school of
the Eastern Illinois State Normal School for a number of years.
He is now nearing the close of his second term of four years each.
Altho a younger man than any of his predecessors were, when
in office, his special preparation and training for the duties thereof,
enabled him to take front rank among the state superintendents
of the nation. Mr. Blair has been signally fortunate in securing
favorable legislation affecting the interests of education thruout
the commonwealth, especially during the later sessions of the
General Assemblies. The scope of the office is much enlarged and
effective, the force now numbering six or more efficient helpers.
PRESIDENTS OF THE FACULTIES
The institution was indeed fortunate in having for its first
president a gentleman of rare scholarship and broad culture; one
of most excellent character and large experience as an educator.
Because of these attainments, Dr. Allyn was peculiarly fitted for
the leadership of young men and women who contemplated enter-
ing the profession of teaching; more especially was this valuable
at the opening of a normal school which was destined to play an
important part in the evolution of a people in a condition ripe for
the leaven which such a school could spread thruout the southern
portion of Illinois. Very few educators have been able to leave
a more wholesome and lasting influence upon an institution and
31
a large section of country than did Dr. Allyn. After eighteen
years of most valuable service he retired in 1892. He remained
in Carbondale till the date of his death, January 1894.
Professor John Hull, who had been in the faculty from the
beginning of the second year, followed Dr. Allyn as president.
During the one year in which he occupied this position the exhibit
for the ''Columbian Exposition" was prepared by the school. The
friends of the institution had just cause for a feeling of pride on
account of the very great excellency of this exhibit. Mr. Hull was
followed by Dr. H. W. Everest late president of "Garfield Uni-
versity," Wichita, Kansas, whose term of service extended from
1893 to 1897. He also came to the school after an extended experi-
ence as president of several denominational institutions. He too,
left an impress upon the school that will remain thru the years
to come. During Dr. Everest's presidency the Science building
was erected with an appropriation of $40,000; $10,000 less than
was asked for. Under the administration of President Everest the
institution made a decided advancement in many ways, especially
in attendance. He was succeeded by the writer of this sketch,
who had been a member of the faculty from the opening of the
school. During the year 1897-1898 he served as "Acting Presi-
dent" and was elected president in the spring of 1898, occupy-
ing said position until September, 1913; making a term of
unbroken service of thirty-nine years. During the years of his
presidency, sixteen years, the library building, the model school
building and the woman's building were each planned for and
erected; the farm was purchased and the departments of manual
training, household arts and agriculture were added to the curri-
cula of studies.
President Henry W. Shryock came into the faculty in 1894
as a successor to the late State Supt. Samuel M. Inglis. In 1898
he was made Vice-President and Registrar. He enters upon his
duties as president under propitious conditions, having a large
measure of familiarity with the duties and responsibilities of the
exalted position. This coupled with his extended acquaintance
with the normal school people of the middle west, and the problems
therein, give him a peculiar fitness for the duties of president.
The friends of the school anticipate a continuation of the growth
and popularity of the institution in its ideals, its usefulness and
in its attendance. The installation exercises were held in con-
nection with the dedication of the woman's building on October
23, 1913. These were of unusual interest and marked a new era
in the life of the Southern Illinois Normal University.
32
VICE-PRESIDENTS
The office of vice-president was not created till the year 1894.
Those who have served in that capacity are as follows: The com-
piler of these notes, serving from 1894 till 1898, when he was
succeeded by Professor Shryock, who served till his promotion to
the presidency, when Dr. C. E. Allen was honored with the office.
REGISTRARS
This office has from the first been one of responsibility. The
first incumbent was Professor C. W. Jerome who met the demands
of this position with great satisfaction from June 1874 till June
1891. He was followed by Professor John Hull till his promotion
to the presidency in 1892. He in turn was followed by the writer
who looked after the duties of the office till 1898, when Professor
Shryock assumed the responsibilities of this position, acting in
said capacity till made president in 1913.
Mr. Shryock was succeeded by Professor Allen who is the
present incumbent and meeting the demands of the office with
great satisfaction to all concerned with the affairs of the institu-
tion.
TEACHERS
In addition to the above brief references to those who have
had the larger responsibilities of the institution the writer asks
the privilege of naming a few of those who have labored long and
efficiently for the good name and upbuilding of the school. These
will be noted in the order of their length of service and confined
to those who have labored not less than twenty years.
Miss Martha Buck has the distinction of serving longer than
any of her associates, being now in her fortieth year, with but few
leaves of absence, and these never for a period longer than one
term. Her services have been confined very largely to the field
of English grammar and kindred subjects. During this time she
published a text on grammar which she has used herself and it
has been adopted by others, especially by those who have been her
students.
Miss Buck's influence for good among her students and in the
community has been very extended and pronounced. She has a
multitude of loyal friends among the thousands of former students
scattered thruout the state and nation.
Professor George H. French came to Carbondale in 1876 to
assist the late Dr. Cyrus Thomas who at that time was State
33
Entomologist in addition to his duties in the institution as head of
the department of natural history. In 1877 Mr. French was made
curator of the museum. Upon the resignation of Dr. Thomas in
1881, Mr. French became his worthy successor, where he has
labored very faithfully and efficiently with scarcely a day 's absence,
not excepting the summer months.
For the past few years his labors have been much lightened
by the appointment of Professor John P. Gilbert, who was placed
in charge of the department in 1910. In addition to his arduous
duties, Professor French has found time to write for scientific
journals of varied character. Some years since he published a
treatise on "The Butterflies of the Eastern United States." His
reputation as 'a scientific student and writer is international,
belonging to the following societies : Fellow of the American Asso-
ciation for the Advancement of Sciences ; Member of the St. Louis
Academy of Sciences; of the Entomological Society of France; of
the Entomological Society of Belgium; Associate Member of the
Natural History of Lubic, Germany ; of the Entomological Society
of Ontario; of the Entomological Society of New York; of the
American Entomological Society; of the Philadelphia Academy
of Sciences.
Miss Matilda F. Salter, who was elected to succeed Miss Lilian
B. Ford as head of the department of Art, in 1885, is still a mem-
ber of the faculty. She is now in her twenty-ninth year of efficient
service, with a few periods of absence on account of ill-health.
Professor George W. Smith entered the faculty in the fall of
1900, first as training teacher in the seventh and eight grades;
which position he occupied for seven years, when he was placed
in charge of the double department of History and Geography.
In the course of six years a separate department was made of
geography, with Professor Frank H. Colyer in charge. Mr. Smith
is now in his twenty-fourth year of service as one of the most
capable teachers of the institution. Since 1894 he has been secre-
tary of the faculty. A few years since he published an excellent
text on the "History of Illinois," and later a "History of Southern
Illinois" in three large volumes. A most creditable effort as a
writer of history.
Dr. Carlos E. Allen became a member of the teaching force in
1894 when he succeeded Mrs. Clara B. Way, to have charge of
the department of Latin, Greek and German. He has labored
with marked acceptability in said department till the present time.
At the meeting of the Board of Trustees last June, Mr. Allen was
34
made Vice-President, Registrar and Financial Agent, in addition
to his regular class duties. At the expiration of the present year,
he will have served nineteen years, having been given a year's
absence a few years since; otherwise he would have served twenty
years, as the tabulated list of teachers indicates. During the later
years he worked out the degrees of M. A. and Ph. D. at the
University of Chicago; making an excellent record as a student
in advanced work.
Not to mention the librarian, who rendered the longest service
and with marked acceptability, would be an unwarranted over-
sight.
Miss Minnie J. Fryar, an alumna of the school was of the class
of 1886. After teaching several years she was offered the posi-
tion of librarian in 1892, which position she occupied for seven
years, when she was transferred for two years to the department
of English, as instructor. In 1901 she was again placed in charge
of the library and remained till 1905, when she resigned to assume
the duties of a higher calling, that of companion and home keeper
of Mr. H. L. Kessler, of the class of 1900.
As the successful military campaign could not be waged with-
out the faithful private in the ranks, so the efficient ongoing of
an institution depends in no small measure on those in less con-
spicuous positions. All students and teachers connected with the
school during the last twelve years will ever remember with much
gratitude the faithful and efficient services of Miss Lula Peay,
who served as Secretary to the President from 1901 to 1913.
However busy she may have been with her own special duties, she
was always willing to attend to the calls of students and faculty
for information and assistance in a most gracious and patient
manner. The records of the institution show a larger number of
entries made in her hand-writing than in that of any other. She
resigned her position last June to assume the more exalted duties
of Mrs. Arthur G. Cross, of the class of 1897. »
It would be an unexcusable oversight were no reference made
of the exceptional services of Mr. John Amon of the janitor
service. He came as the assistant to Mr. Richard Tierney, who on
account of ill-health resigned after many years of faithful and
efficient labor as engineer and head janitor. Mr. Amon began his
service in 1897; became head janitor in 1898, and is still at the
head of the force. No institution ever had an employe of greater
fidelity and promptness. The members of the Literary Societies
and the Christian Associations will ever remember with gratitude
35
Mr. Amon's faithful services in their times of regular need and
in special emergencies.
MILITARY TACTICS
Not long after the opening of the school it was learned that the
federal government was willing to supply the institution a mili-
tary equipment necessary for giving the more elementary forms
of military tactics, and to detail an officer to have charge of the
work.
In the year 1877 Brev't Captain Thomas J. Spencer, U. S. A.
was detailed to Carbondale to take charge of this new department,
being one of a very few assignments of this character to a normal
school.
After three years of service in this capacity the captain was
assigned to other duties, and First Lieut. Hugh T. Reed was selected
as his successor, who likewise served three years, retiring in 1883.
He in turn was succeeded by Lieut. Charles G. Starr, U. S. A.,
remaining in charge till 1886, when he was followed by Lieut.
James Franklin Bell, U. S. A., resigning the position in 1889, when
the government ceased to make further assignments to the institu-
tion. However, in a less pretentious way, the organization was
continued four years longer under the leadership of Professor
George V. Buchanan of the class of '84 who had distinguished
himself, while a student in the school, as one of the captains in
the department. Since 1893 no work of a military character has
been offered by the school, much to the disappointment of many
young men, and serious loss in some very essential features of
manly training, and physical development. During these seven-
teen years the young men of the school took great pride in their
drills and maneuvers, and in meeting the requirements of their
several official positions.
Of the above named officers, from the regular army, Mr. Bell
is the only one still in the service. Since leaving the school in
1889 he has distinguished himself on many battlefields in the
Philippine Islands and in other ways. In 1906, he was honored
by President Roosevelt in being made "Chief of Staff." At this
writing he is now on his way home from the Philippines with the
supposition that he is to take charge of the Department of the
Lakes, with a strong probability of being sent to the Mexican Bor-
der, provided the policy of "Watchful Waiting" should give place
to more active military participation in the affairs of our neighbors
on the South.
36
ATTENDANCE
In giving an exhibit of the attendance there is some difficulty
in making comparisons on account of having changed the classifi-
cation from time to time. From the first the regular normal
courses have required rather strong entrance preparation, necessi-
tating a preparatory or sub-normal course, which offered the
necessary training in study and scholarship for those not qualified
for the regular normal courses. These have been classified as
normal students. The first two years of the high school have
usually been classed as a part of the Training School.
The figures are taken from the regular catalogs as they were
published from year to year.

While it is too early in the school year to name the exact figures
for the present year it is a pleasure to state that the attendance
has been far in excess of any previous year ; especially is this true
of the spring term, which has just opened. This is, in part, due
to the very favorable provisions of the new "Certification Law,"
referred to in the observations on ' ' The Alumni. " It is estimated
the attendance at the present time is quite fifty per cent increase
over that of any previous term, a very gratifying condition to the
management of the institution and its thousands of friends thruout
the state. It is estimated, also, that the graduating class of the
present year will be sixty-five per cent larger than any former
class.

THE ALUMNI
From the above table it appears that the number of graduates
has ranged from four to thirty-eight, with a total of six hundred
eighty-one. The average is a trifle less than eighteen per year.
The number in the graduating classes has not been as large
as the attendance would indicate. This may be accounted for in
part by several causes, viz.: the demand for teachers, especially
in the more recent years, has been so urgent, the county super-
intendents have been compelled to urge even those whose prepara-
tion has been less than a full normal course, oft-times but a year,
and infrequently but one term, to engage in teaching. In many
instances after the young man or young woman, as the case might
be, had begun to earn money in this way it seemed difficult to
stop teaching long enough to complete a regular normal course.
Second, not until recently has the state adopted a plan for the
certification of its teachers that made the completion of such
courses in any sense attractive. With the exception of two short
periods, Illinois has failed to honor the product of its own normal
schools by any reasonable concessions in the matter of issuing
certificates. The last General Assembly, however, redeemed the
good name of the commonwealth by writing on the statute books
a certification law that offers to the graduates of the normal
schools some inducements that heretofore have not obtained.
In the third place, not until recently, has the school offered any
but the two regular normal courses for diploma work, and these
have purposely been kept reasonably strong, requiring for the
average country boy five full years of solid work. Under the
circumstances it is not strange that a comparatively small number
completed the prescribed courses. Within the last few years a
number of more elastic courses have been offered and given the
same recognition with reference to graduation, viz., manual train-
ing, household arts, agriculture and commercial. With these
inducements it is fully expected that the graduating classes will
be much larger hereafter.
Not only will the new certification law tend to increase the size
of the graduating classes but it will favorably affect the general
attendance, since it places a premium on even a briefer period
than to complete a full course. The advocates of the state normal
schools have labored and waited patiently and long for this just
recognition of the work of the institutions which have for their
special function the preparation of young people for the duties of
the school room and the evolution of the character and life of the
youth of the state.

THE EVOLUTION OF THE TRAINING SCHOOL
It is conceded that the prime purpose of a normal school is
to prepare prospective teachers for their special calling. Horace
Mann conceived the idea that the teachers of this country needed
this training as well as those of Germany and succeeded in demon-
strating the soundness of his theory in his own state at an early
date. Some years elapsed before the advocacy of this doctrine
could secure much of a hearing in the newer states. The agitation
of this new doctrine reached Illinois in the early fifties and
resulted in an act of the legislature being passed in 1857 for the
establishment of a Normal University.
Twelve years later the subject of this sketch began its career,
with the conviction in the minds of its leaders that a normal
school without a Training Department was a misnomer. Hence
from the first the Model School has received no small share of
attention, and evidences of a real serious study of the needs of
the school are, perhaps, more apparent here than in any other
department of the institution.
Miss Julia F. Mason was its first Principal. For a short while
after her retirement it was not well organized; but in 1882, Pro-
fessor John Hull was placed in charge, still retaining charge of
pedagogy and higher mathematics. For two years he was assisted
by Miss Mary Sowers, who was succeeded by Miss Alice Krysher
in 1884, and she by Miss Ann C. Anderson in 1886. Miss Ander-
son was succeeded by Miss Theda Gildemeister in 1893, who in
turn was followed by Miss Ada P. Wertz in 1897.
These assistants were in personal charge of the first six grades
till 1893, when Miss Irene Furgeson was employed to assist Miss
Gildemeister, and in 1897 Miss Lizzie Parks became the assistant
to Miss Wertz, and later placed in charge of the primary grades,
as critic teacher. She resigned in 1900, and her position was filled
40
by the appointment of Miss A. Esther Wilson, who remained till
1910.
When Mr. Hull was elected "Regent," as the position was
then called, in 1892, Mr. William F. Rocheleau, was placed in
charge of the Training School. Upon his resignation in 1895, he
was succeeded by Mr. James Kirk, who came to the school from
the office of State Supt. Raab, where he had served as Assistant
to Mr. Raab. In this capacity Mr. Kirk labored till he was placed
at the head of the department of mathematics, and Prof. J. T.
Ellis was made head of the department, in 1901. Mr. Ellis was
in charge till 1905, when Prof. Samuel E. Harwood was placed
in charge and remained till 1910 when Prof. Charles Herbert
Elliott succeeded him. In 1913 Prof. W. A. Furr was appointed
Mr. Elliott's successor, and is in charge at the time of the writing
of this bulletin.
From 1897 till 1908 there were but two critic teachers for the
first six grades; after the latter date the school was able to have
a critic for each two grades, including the ninth and tenth grades,
which became a part of the training school. By this time the
Superintendent was able to give his entire time to this depart-
ment, while a number of the regular teachers of the normal classes
assisted more or less in the teaching; especially was this true in
history and geography.
New life was given to the Training School when it was given
a building of its own in 1909, which contributed very largely to
the comfort of the children and their teachers, to the organiza-
tion and efficiency of the department.
Some years prior to 1893, the institution offered a high school
course somewhat after the plan of the older normal school at
Normal, but Governor Altgeld was of the opinion that such a
course had no place in a state normal school, and it was discon-
tinued at his request. However, the demand continued and both
schools reinstated these courses after a few years. As stated before,
the first two year pupils were regarded as belonging to the prac-
tice school, but the third and fourth were taught quite largely
along with the normal students, thus avoiding much extra expense
in caring for the high school pupils.
The Model School is provided with a good supply of out-door
playground apparatus, and the children have access to the privi-
leges of the gymnasium. They have sufficient ground assigned
them from the farm for school and landscape gardens. From its
early history, the institution has regarded the training school as
41
an indispensable part of the normal school organization, and have
sought to make it as helpful as possible to the would-be teacher.
MANUAL TRAINING AND HOUSEHOLD ARTS
These two departments were not added till in the later years,
due in some measure to the lack of room. The former was intro-
duced with a fairly good equipment in the summer of 1907, under
the supervision of Miss Myra M. LaSalle, who was followed the
next year by Prof. Louis C. Petersen, who increased its scope and
equipment. He is still in charge. Mr. Petersen has published a
number of bulletins that have been in demand, not only in this
country but in other lands.
The department of domestic science was installed in the summer
of 1909, with Miss Grace E. Jones in charge, who planned the
equipment and the courses of study. These have been revised
somewhat, to meet the needs of the growing department, with Miss
Lucy K. Moody as assistant.
The two departments have been very popular and have added
much to the attractions of the school; a number of students have
been employed as teachers in these subjects in the public schools
of the state.
AGRICULTURE
While more or less attention had been paid to elementary
agriculture, for some years, especially in what was termed the
State Course, it was not given the dignity of a separate course
till the General Assembly of 1911 made an appropriation for that
purpose, which included the purchase of a farm and the fitting
up of suitable laboratories for the analysis of soils, testing soil
fertility, etc. The Institution was fortunate in being able to obtain
a tract of land adjoining a part of the campus with only a country
highway intervening. The tract lacks but little of having sixty
acres in it and is regarded as a wise and profitable investment.
The last legislature made a generous provision for the purchase of
modern farm machinery, some pedigreed stock, and for more com-
pletely equipping the laboratories. In addition to the above a
typical Farm Home is to be erected on the state farm for the
purpose of exhibiting to the students, not only those in this special
department, but to all who are interested, the ideal conditions of
a rural home as far as this may be shown at an institution of
learning.
42
This fragmentary account of these rather recent additions to
the scope of work of the institution may be regarded as a sample
of the ambition of the school to offer the young people of Southern
Illinois the best facilities in school work that are known, and to
make the school of maximum value to the section of the common-
wealth in which it is located.
THE COMMERCIAL COURSE
While Bookkeeping was taught in the early years of the school,
and was one of the prescribed studies for many years it was elimi-
nated to make room for some of the more professional branches.
However, the recent demand for vocational training has made it
seem wise to restore bookkeeping to a place in a regular course
and add thereto typewriting and other kindred studies and offer
a regular commercial course. This has necessitated the purchase
of an equipment of typewriters, the establishment of a banking out-
fit and other features peculiar to this department.
This departure was made to keep step with the march of prog-
ress in the educational field, which calls for a provision for the types
of mind not attracted by the regulation courses, which must ever
be held as the typical line of study for the prospective teacher.
THE LIBRARY
From the beginning of the school, the value of a good reading
and a good reference library has been recognized as a very necess-
ary adjunct to a normal school. Dr. Allyn gave wise attention
to the selection of such pedagogical works as would be of the
greatest value to those contemplating entering the profession of
teaching.
At first the small collection of books was housed in the north-
east room of the fourth floor under the mansard roof, and remained
there till the burning of the building in 1883. Altho the books
were on the fourth floor, by the herculean efforts of the students,
teachers, and friends in the town, but few volumes were lost.
During the interim, till the new building was erected, the books
were kept in the temporary structure, and in some of the build-
ings of Carbondale. Strange as it may seem, but few books were
lost during these three years and four months. Upon the comple-
tion of the new building the northwest room on the second floor
was set apart for the library. Here it remained till the erection
43
of the Science building in 1896, when the books were taken to
the north east room on the first floor of this building.
Upon the erection of the library building in 1904 the books
were again moved, and this time to a home designed especially
for that purpose. The entire first floor of this building is occupied
for library use.
The catalog of 1878 is the first one that makes any reference
to the library. It states that there were at that time ' ' about 5,000
carefully selected volumes, including a professional library for
teachers." The following exhibit shows the number of volumes
reported in the several catalogs from year to year:
VOLUMES IN THE LIBRARY, 1878-1913.
1878 5,000 1890 9,000 1902 16,800
1879 5,790 1891 10,000 1903 17,169
1880 5,790 1892 11,000 1904 17,800
1881 6,653 1893 12,000 1905 18,470
1882 7,500 1894 13,000 1906 19,060
1883 7,900 1895 13,000 1907 19,060
1884 7,900 1896 14,000 1908 20,500
1885 7,900 1897 14,000 1909 22,000
1886 7,900 1898 15,000 1910 22,500
1887 7,900 1899 15,000 1911 23,400
1888 7,900 1900 ...... 15,000 1912 23,975
1889 8,000 1901 15,160 1913 24,729
From the above tabulated exhibit it appears that at a few
periods there seem to have been no books added during several
years; especially was this true just after the burning of the first
building when there was no additional room for new books, and
the extra expense of moving and storing books, apparatus, furni-
ture, etc. consumed all funds not needed for actual demands on
the treasury.
LITERARY SOCIETIES
This historical sketch would be far from complete were no ref-
erence made to the literary societies that have played no insigni-
ficant part in the cultural work of the institution. Quite early in
the first term of the school the question of organizing such an
agency for literary training was seriously considered ; due in part
to the fact that a number of the students had attended school at the
older normal school, McKeiidree College, Ewing College and The
Southern Illinois College, and were more or less acquainted with the
importance of the training offered by such school agencies. As early
44
as September 9, 1874, a petition was presented to the faculty asking
permission to organize a literary society. The petition was granted
and in a few days the following students were assembled in
response to a call for the purpose of perfecting an organization:
Robert H. Flannagan, John Quails, J. M. Reeder, Heber Robarts,
D. G. Thompson, N. Ellen Sherman, Charles E. Evans, Louis M.
Kane, John N. Law, S. A. Maxwell, Mary Wright, J. M. Osborne,
J. R. Dean and S. E. Sprague. At this meeting a committee was
appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws to be presented at
a meeting to be held one week later.
At the appointed time the committee was ready to report, and
the important documents were accepted. At the same meeting the
following officers were elected: President, Miss Mary Wright;
Vice-President, Heber Robarts; Secretary, Miss N. Ellen Sher-
man. There seems to have been no need of a treasurer at first,
as the record is silent with reference to this office.
The only available room for this new agency in the new normal
school was the northwest room on the fourth floor.
To find a suitable name for this organization was not an easy
task; but in due time one was agreed upon, quite unlike that of
any other known to the members at that time and possibly not
at the present date; for they were ambitious in more ways than
one. This one before the days of vocational training, and any
school course or literary organization that failed to have a pro-
nounced flavor of Greek, Latin, and mathematics was regarded
as of little consequence. The unique term "Zetetic," meaning a
seeker, or lover of knowledge, seemed to meet the requirements.
So the name Zetetic has been more or less on the lips of the students
and faculty for nearly forty years, and will doubtless continue
so for generations yet to be.
The motto of the Zetetic society has been helpful to hundreds
of young people since it touches the two extremes of effort, "Learn
to Labor and to Wait."
At the time of the fire the society was able to save all its furni-
ture including the piano. During the rebuilding of the main build-
ing the society was housed in the temporary building in one of the
recitation rooms. Upon the completion of the building two very
choice halls were in readiness for the two literary societies, as
very soon after the organization of the first one a second followed.
These halls were frescoed and decorated with special reference to
their use.
The younger society was the outgrowth of a demand for a
debating club, which for a time was confined in its privileges to
45
young men. While the young men heartily enjoyed their oppor-
tunities thus provided, the other society seemed to possess some
attractions theirs did not. It was not difficult to determine the
popular feature of the sister society, and it was but a short time
till the ladies were admitted on the same terms as the young men.
The naming of the latter organization was less difficult than in
the former case. It was soon decided to name it in honor of
the great Athenian philosopher, and the name "Socratic" has
been as familiar as that of "Zetetic" thruout the student-body
of the institution.
The Socratic motto has been an inspiration not only to its
members but all who have seen it on the walls of their hall and
on the many programs presented to the public from time to time
during nearly forty years: "Nulla vera felicitas sine sapientia" —
No true happiness without knowledge.
The first home of this society was similar to the other, but
at the south west corner of the same floor ; a position less favorable
at the time of the burning as it was almost immediately under the
spot where the fire originated, which made it impossible to save
all the furniture especially the piano, a loss they were ill-prepared
to meet just at that time.
In the assignment of the two elegant halls in the restored build-
ing it was decided to grant the first choice on the basis of age.
This resulted in the older one choosing the room on the front
end of the building, at the north east corner of the third floor,
leaving the one at the south east on the same floor for the Socratic
people. These halls are counterparts of each other, having the
same dimensions in each direction, and furnished as much alike as
possible.
Upon the completion of the library building in 1904, it was
found wise to locate the societies there. First, it was less trouble
and less expensive to warm and light the halls and the corridors
leading thereto. Second, it would be less disturbing to have the
rooms over the library proper to be used at night, by the societies
than by classes during the day. The rooms at the south and east
ends were appropriated for this purpose.
Since a difference of a few months in age seemed insignificant
in a reach of thirty years, it was decided to give them an equal
chance in having first choice. The matter was made more interest-
ing by having this done at the time of dedicating the building,
and conducted by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, Alfred
Bayliss, who followed a plan of his own, that of having the presi-
dents of the two societies draw ribbons of different lengths from
46
a book ; the one drawing the longer ribbon to have the first choice.
The Socratic president was the lucky one ; resulting in their choos-
ing the south room leaving the east room for the Zetetics. It was
fortunate that in each room there are good qualities to offset those
of equal value in the other.
During the presidency of Dr. Everest 1893- '97 two other
literary societies were organized and for some time accomplished
considerable good, but they labored under the disadvantage of
having no halls set apart for their special use, consequently were
less popular, and in a few years were abandoned.
Among the outstanding features of each of these organizations
are the "Annual Spring Entertainments" which have been pre-
sented to the public as a part of the program of Commencement
Week. These have received more than usual attention *on the part
of the membership. The student body and the general public
have highly appreciated the faithful efforts of these young people
in this field of general culture.
fcv
THE DEBATING CLUB
With less pretentions as to organization and entertainment
when compared with the literary societies, the young men of the
school continued an effort among themselves for training in for-
ensic art, which has been productive of much practical value to
those who have participated in the exercises thereof.
These groups of ambitious young men have called their com-
pany by various names ; sometimes it has been designated as ' ' The
Debating Club" sometimes as "The Forum," but always with
the same purpose, that of special practice in the high art of pub-
lic speaking and parliamentary usage.
EXHIBITS AT EXPOSITIONS
THE CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION
The Southern Illinois Normal University having been opened
on July 1, 1874, was sufficiently organized in 1876 to prepare an
exhibit for the Centennial Exposition held that year in Philadel-
phia.
While the display was largely confined to bound volumes of
manuscripts showing the ability of students in preparing school
papers covering nearly the entire range of their work, it was a
creditable exhibit for the time. The institution has in its possession
47
an interesting diploma as evidence of having presented a worthy
showing in the educational department of this exposition.
THE COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION
Seventeen years later, when the nation celebrated the Pour
Hundredth Anniversary of its discovery, in 1893, one year later
than the exact date, the school was in a position to offer the pub-
lic a more elaborate exhibit, both on account of having had experi-
ence in that line, and having a larger school program from which to
draw for such purpose.
The initial preparations were made under the direction of Dr.
Eobert Allyn in the year 1872, his last year as head of the institu-
tion. It was completed in the next school year under the super-
vision of President John Hull.
In addition to the regulation manuscripts prepared for such
occasions, which were handsomely bound and labeled, more atten-
tion was given to charts and outlines representing the work of
students in their study of methods of teaching, determinations in
laboratory work and observations while in the field. A much
larger collection of photographs were prepared than in the former
exposition.
An attractive "Hand Book" was published for the use of
visitors, setting forth the general plans of the school, and calling
attention to the most salient features of the exhibit.
The space allotted to the Southern Illinois Normal University
was located in the south side of the east wing between that given
to the State University and that allotted to the Illinois Normal
University ; covering an area of 27 feet by 39 feet. The Commis-
sion provided seventeen excellent oak cases with glass doors for
exhibiting the charts, bound volumes and specimens of natural
history, etc. These were placed east and west facing each other,
except those at the ends with ample space for the passage of vis-
itors. In the center of this open space were placed a desk, chairs,
etc., for the use of the several attendants, and for a sort of head-
quarters for friends of the school who desired to avail themselves
of its privileges. Parallel with the platform, on either side, were
a counter and show case, in which were placed bound volumes, and
material used in the Training School for illustrative purposes. The
cases were arranged in two distinct groups, one for the Normal
Department the other for the Model School.
At the close of the exposition the Commission donated to the
institution these cases, which have been of great value to the school
in the twenty years that have followed.
48
In order that the exhibit should be in the care of responsible
care-takers, provision was made for two to be on the ground at
all times. These were young men either in attendance at the school
at the time or were former students. It was so arranged that each
one served two weeks, the last week of one being the first week of
the other. This provision prevailed thru the entire time.
The institution has much pleasure in the possession of a hand-
some medal and an elaborate diploma awarded her on account of
her creditable display in the Centennial Exposition.
THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION
This third and last exhibit was prepared for the Exposition held
in St. Louis in 1904, under the special direction of the author of
this Historical Sketch, and under the general supervision of Super-
intendent Alfred Bayliss. In some respects this display was less
pretentious than the one prepared eleven years preceding. More
attention was given to a collection of views of the grounds, build-
ings, recitation rooms, laboratories, groups of students at work, etc.
Among the special attractions were plaster models of the three
buildings then erected, and placed on a large map of the campus,
on a scale somewhat in proportion to actual measurements, and
located in their respective position, showing the entire plant as
a whole.
The photographs were taken very largely by the late Professor
Jacob T. Ellis, then Superintendent of the Training Department.
State Superintendent Bayliss gave much of his valuable time to
the entire exhibit of the state.
While there were many unsatisfactory features in connection
with these exhibits it is generally conceded that much value accrued
therefrom and the cause of education was advanced to no incon-
siderable degree at each time.
EDUCATIONAL CONDITIONS OF SOUTHERN
ILLINOIS
1874—1914
At the time of the opening of the school in 1874 the status of
the public schools was far from ideal; in fact they were farther
from being ideal than in any other portion of the commonwealth.
At that time there were but few high schools in this end of the
state, and they were as far behind those of the present day as
the graded schools of that day were behind those we now boast of.
49
Without doubt the effects of the civil war in Southern Illinois
was more marked than in other parts of the state, both in its effects
on the people and on the wealth of the region. The two combined
to bear heavily on the cause of general education within its bor-
ders. It was no easy task to secure ample means for the erection
of comfortable and attractive school buildings, and to employ
competent teachers; consequently, when the normal school opened
in 1874 it was confronted with the task of adjusting its service to
the needs of the region in which it was to operate. This required
tact and patience — two rare qualities in handling school problems,
for the school is made for the child and not the child for the
school. While there were differences of opinion as to how best
meet these needs, there was agreement as to the aim which should
prompt the activities of the institution. Doubtless this policy may
have cost the school some prestige in some quarters, but it enabled
many young people to avail themselves of the privileges of the
equipment and the instruction of such a school who otherwise
would have not enjoyed so favorable an opportunity to secure an
education.
In addition to the above facts affecting the policy of the institu-
tion, the attitude of the school toward the problem of how best
serve the children of the colored race of Southern Illinois was a
matter of no little import. In some sections of the state it would
not have been so significant, but in the section of the state in
such close proximity to the region where race prejudice is marked,
it was a serious proposition, and it was necessary to handle it with
unusual care and wisdom.
THE CHURCHES OF CARBONDALE
In reviewing these matters relating to the effects of the institu-
tion on the educational and material advancement of Southern
Illinois it is well to remember that many other agencies have con-
tributed to these gratifying returns. The churches of Carbondale
have co-operated in no small measure to the upbuilding of the
character of those who have come under their benign influence.
Those who have directed the activities of the institution have
recognized the helpfulness of these religious organizations in sup-
plementing their efforts in securing the fullest development of the
young people committed to their care.
50
THE CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS
Among the agencies that have contributed in no uncertain way
to the general tone of the school, even from the very early years,
are the Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations.
These have been potent factors in keeping before the student body
the need and value of Christian teaching and association in the
formation of character that will meet the demands of life in all
its phases. This has been accomplished in the spirit of genuine
helpfulness in many ways, and devoid of offense to those most
sensitive and critical, resulting in a pronounced advantage to those
coming under this influence in its teachings and associations. The
State College Secretaries have included Carbondale in their tour
of annual visitations thruout the colleges of the state, and have
encouraged and instructed the young people in their labors of
brotherly interest and fellowship and the establishing of the high-
est type of Christian character.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
The Alumni Association now numbers 681, the majority of
whom are progressive and potent factors in the educational work
of the country. A review of what the different members have
accomplished would be of interest to the reader, but space in
these pages precludes anything further than their names in the
order of their graduation and the number of years taught since
that date. In a few instances the institution is not sure of their
whereabouts ; this is indicated by the interrogation point. Their
present occupation is given as far as could be ascertained.
The officers of the association at the present time are as
follows: President, Prof. Wm. T. Felts, Carbondale; vice-presi-
dent, Mrs. Lillian Wyatt, Salem ; secretary, Miss Mary Buchanan,
53
Carbondale ; treasurer, Bernard Harriss, Carbondale; historian,
Mrs. Adella B. Mitchell, Carbondale ; chairman executive commit-
tee, Win. C. Fly, Carbondale.

A BRIEF SUMMARY
OF THE ALUMNI DEATHS.
Of the entire number who have graduated, six hundred eighty-
one, fifty-three have died as shown by the single star opposite each
name.
MARRIAGES
An examination of the list exhibits the fact that thirty-five
couples decided to make the voyage of life together. In nine of
these unions the contracting parties are classmates. Not less than
seventy other graduates married those who did not complete a
full course of study, hence their names do not appear in the list.
OTHER VOCATIONS
While the institution is a normal school and a large majority
of those who have graduated have taught for a greater or less time,
a few have gone into other professions and lines of effort and made
for themselves enviable reputations in .their several fields.
Of those who have taught fifteen years or more — one as high
as thirty-two years, there are fifty-three.
Served in other professions as follows:
County Superintendents 12
Clergymen 8
Bankers 12
Political Leaders 10
Lawyers 29
Physicians 22
Dentists 3
Members of the faculty of the institution from one term to
seventeen years 33
