A BRIEF HISTORY OP THE SCHOOL
The Milne School as a practice
school for
New York State College for
Teachers, was in existence long before it
had its present site or name»
The New
York State Normal School, at Albany, the
first institution for training teachers
outside of l^ssachusetts, first commenced
its activities on December 8, 1844 in the
former Hudson and Mohawk Railroad depot,
119 State street.
The practice school opened during
the second semester with forty^five pupils, ranging from 5 to 16 years.
In
1870, one hundred and fifty pupils were
enrolled.
However, the Normal School rapidly
developed until 1849, it was forced to
move to a larger homg on Ladge and Ward
streets.
By 1889, the college had so outgrown the practice school, that a new
school was erected on Willett Street,
facing Washington Park. In the same year
the elementary grades were disbanded and
the school became secondary only.
By 1929, the college had acojuired
six buildings on the present campus,
bounded by Western Avenue, Vrashington
Avenue, Robin Street, and on the left by
