History Initially named the Northern Arizona Normal School, the institution was established on September 11, 1899. They had twenty-three students, and meager resources for teaching them. When NANS opened, they had one professor and "two copies of Webster's International Dictionary bound in sheepskin" as teaching resources. The first graduating class, in 1901, consisted of four women who received credentials to teach in the Arizona Territory. In 1925, the Arizona State Legislature allowed the school, which was now called the Northern Arizona State Teachers College, to grant Bachelor of Education degrees. In 1929 the school became Arizona State Teachers College at Flagstaff. In 1929, the Great Depression struck the nation, and the ASTC found new meaning to community outreach. Rather than falling apart, the school was able to endure through the depression. In fact, the school president at the time described higher education as â€˜a â€œdepression industry" that fared well in hard times.' Despite financial difficulties, enrollment increased from 321 students to 535 students between 1930 and 1940. In 1937, graduate work became possible. ASTC provided an education during economically trying times, often as well as creating jobs to help the students afford their education. There were jobs in the school owned dairy farm, in the campus kitchen and dining hall, as newspaper deliverers, and in everything in between. The self-sufficiency of the college helped conserve monetary resources. It was a massive part of the local economy of the surrounding Flagstaff community, contributing almost a half million dollars in 1938. Yet, the school wasn't a place of assimilation, but rather a place of diversity. ASTC was known for its diverse student body and ethnic tolerance. In fact, the first Hopi to receive a college degree was Ida Mae Fredericks in 1939. Students came from rural farms, mining families, the east coast, and everywhere in between. During the depression, lots of fraternities and clubs sprang up reflecting this diversity of background and of interest. Enrollment dropped sharply, however, at the beginning of World War II. In fact, enrollment fell all the way to 161 in 1945. During this time, ASTC became a Navy V-12 program training site. The end of World War II brought increased enrollment, as returning vets reentered the educational front. The end of the war also brought growth beyond teaching degrees, especially in the fields of art and science. To reflect this growth, the school changed its name to Arizona State College at Flagstaff in 1945. It became simply Arizona State College in 1958 after Arizona State College at Tempe became Arizona State University. In 1958, the Forestr ... [more on wikipedia]
