The University of Arizona was never a “normal” schoolThanks for posting that info
I never knew that
I wonder why the word Normal was in both school titles?
Found a list of former ASU names
Territorial Normal School (1885–1889) Tempe Normal School of Arizona (1889–1903) Tempe Normal School (1903–1925) Tempe State Teachers College (1925–1929) Arizona State Teachers College (1929–1945) Arizona State College (1945–1958)
Normal school is used to describe colleges that were originally established to educate future teachers
NAU has gone through a variety of names, but their original name was Northern Arizona normal school
