Y e t the school has an h o n o r a b l e history, brief as yet, and its very name will remind its students o f that history as lonj^" as the school exists. W'e seldom think about the name, and f e w of us k n o w that M i l n e is the third name the school has had. I'^ven f e w e r k n o w that the name is S()methin,<4' m o r e than just M i l n e ; but in June, 1016, the school w'hich had been first called the N o r m a l Ili.yh S c h o o l and then the Hii^h S c h o o l D e p a r t m e n t of the State College, was named the W^illi.am j .
