The professional course was concerned more with the teaching process than with the academic subjects.ĭuring this time the growth of the school was very gradual. At that time four-year courses were made available in English. In 1892 the Board of Regents made a revision of the curriculum of the normal schools. During the first twenty-seven years of its existence the course of study was confined largely to a course for elementary teachers. One building on the South Campus contained the entire school. It was the fourth normal school to be established in the state. In 1874 the River Falls State Normal School was founded and opened its first session in September. As a result of this settlement a teachers college was located here prior to those in the central and northern parts of the state. By I860 there was a considerable settlement in the vicinity of River Falls. Till- call for a school of higher education came in western Wisconsin as a result of the early settlements along the rivers of this section. At the present time the college is being studied by the North Central Association of Colleges and High Schools. The college offers advantages to its students through the efforts of this body in its fine faculty and directors of extra-curricular activities. This unit, under the direction and leadership of the president, has ably met the demands for better teachers. Within our school is a separate administrative unit working in conjunction with the Board of Regents. The constant demand is for better trained teachers and the administration of the teachers colleges is always anticipating this demand to be better able to meet it. It is through the efforts of this group that the teachers colleges of Wisconsin have been kept at their high standard. The duties of this board are to regulate the courses of study of the various teachers colleges of the state, present a budget of cost of maintenance and instruction to the state legislature at each session, and recommend expenditures for new buildings for colleges that need them. This body is composed of a secretary, one representative of each teachers college, the state superintendent of public instruction, the state treasurer, and a member from the state at large. THE State Teachers Colleges of Wisconsin are under the control of the Board of Regents.
