The evidence of a yellow school bus driving by in the early morning is just a small inclanation that our initiation into Fall is forthcoming. While commercials airing back to school specials, deals and even freebies can be seen rampant on many social outlets, the Wabash Valley Vision and Voices Digital Memory Project can give us a glimpse of school days gone by. While glancing through the
Indiana State University Archives collection, you are sure to happen upon the universities ornate history, beginning with it's establishment as the
Indiana State Normal School in 1865. In 1929 the school became the Indiana State Teachers College until 1961, in which year it became established as the Indiana State College. Four short years later, Indiana State College became designated as
Indiana State University, the flagship it is known as today. Fortunately, archives of the
Sycamore, the Indiana State Normal School yearbook, exist, allowing modern readers the ability to envision university excitement during the late 19th and early 20th century. See below a peek into Normal's student life, taken directly from the pages of
Sycamore 1926.
