Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, School of Education
Organization
Since Edinboro University's conception it has been a school for teaching, originally as Edinboro Academy, then, shortly after, as the Northwestern State Normal School and then as Edinboro State Teacher's College. The oldest surviving University catalogue is from 1870-1871. There were 10 faculty members and the goal of the school was to give "thorough and systematical instruction in all branches of learning taught in Common Schools." Graduates of the school received a Degree of Bachelor of Elementary Didactics. Given this history, it is not surprising that an Education Department is not listed separately until the 1919-1920 Catalogue. In the 1925-1926 University Catalogue, still under the Education Department, there are listed separate curricula for Elementary and Junior High Education. In the 1970-1971 Catalogue it is listed as the Elementary Education Department under the School of Education and it's offices were soon placed in the newly erected Butterfield Hall.
