The North Texas State Normal College Album 1
It's time to put up another album and it's a mess. There are 25 pages with images, a number where the photos have been removed, and damaged pages as well. In addition there are a lot of loose photos, some of the period, others newer, that have been stored between the pages. Because there is so much to see, I'll be putting additional posts up in a when ever I get to it fashion. I'll be putting NTSNC in the labels section so that those who are interested can click and bring everything up together.
NTSNC stands for North Texas State Normal College. It was founded as a private teachers college in 1890 in Denton, Texas. It held classes above a hardware store and was called The Texas Normal College and Teachers Training Institute. It changed hands in 1893 and became The North Texas Normal College. In 1899 it was taken over by the state of Texas and finally became The North Texas State Normal College. There were more name changes in the future. In 1923, North Texas Normal College. In 1949, North Texas State College. In 1961, North Texas University. And in 1988, it's present name, The University of North Texas.
I suspect part 2 is at least a week away, so be patient.
