Synopsis

History And Alumni Record Of The State Normal School: Bridgewater, Mass., To July, 1876 by Albert Gardner Boyden. This volume chronicles the founding and development of the Bridgewater State Normal School in Massachusetts, outlining its origin, governance and regulation by the Board of Education, and the succession of its principals. It presents the school’s organization, the rules and programs that governed instruction, and the evolution of its curriculum and practice, including the Model School and the pedagogical work of its teachers. The work interweaves narrative history with an Alumni Record, providing biographical sketches, diaries of professional trajectories, notices of deaths, and a Roll of Honor that honors graduates who served in public life and in the military. It also includes statistical summaries of admissions, attendance, graduates, and teaching years, along with notes on building expansions and institutional commemorations. Overall, the book serves as a key primary source on nineteenth-century teacher-education and the public schooling movement in Massachusetts.
