ABSTRACT:
The Gustavus Adolphus Normal School collection contains enrollment slips for seven students who enrolled in the school during 1898-99.  Those students are Emil Theodore Benzon, Lilly H. Erickson, Anna Garrivch, Hilma Hultgren, Henry Edwin Malberg, Marie S. Sigurdson, and Lydia C. Warling.  The Normal School existed from 1894-1908.


HISTORICAL NOTE:
The Gustavus Adolphus Academy offered a Normal course.  The program involved three years of the High School course and one further year of Normal classes to become a qualified teacher.  In 1894, the Normal School (sometimes called the Normal Department) was created.  The intent was to prepare students to teach in either public or parochial schools.  Coursework included Bible, English, Swedish, Latin, mathematics, physiology, physical geography, pedagogics, civics, history, expression, physics, and psychology.  In 1902 the Normal School changed its name to the School of Pedagogy.  The School of Pedagogy closed in 1908, and education classes were taught in the Psychology and Education Department of Gustavus Adolphus College.
