Administrative history
St. Cloud State University was established by the state of Minnesota in 1869 as the Third State Normal School.
Scope and content
10 monthly issues of the Normal School Recorder were published by students between 1916 and 1918.
The Normal School Recorder was a mix of a traditional newspaper and journal. Most of each issue was devoted to journal articles that were written by St. Cloud State students. Articles focused a great deal on campus; students wrote about family members, travel, athletics, student literary clubs, arrival and departure of faculty, and experience with others or events on campus. The publication often reported on the whereabouts and happenings of recent graduates. Especially fascinating were the stories about World War I, many documenting what was happening on campus, as well as the experiences of students and alums who were serving as soldiers.
All issues are available online. To see online, click on each issue in the finding aid and go to link in the Scope and Content Note. The issues can be found at https://repository.stcloudstate.edu/noscre.
