  The sixth state normal school was opened Sel)tember 17, 1894.
  The following courses are provided: German, Latin, and English Scientific
courses of four years each, leading to the diploma, which may become a life

of one

mitted to advanced standing in either course.
  In 1902 a new course, to prepare teachers of Domestic Science, was authorized
and established by the Board of Regents. This is a thorough two years' course

teaching in these branches, as well as the general professional training
