| Transcript | Central Normal College 1878--1951 One of Indiana's most widely known schools was Central Normal College at Danville. This school was influential out of all proportion to its size. Is also had the unique distinction of having been stolen from its original location. In 1829 a seminary had been established on the location of the later Central Bormal College at Danville. This school progressed from a log cabin to a five room brick building which became a part of the college Recitation Hall. In 1858 the Methodist Church came into possession of the building and established an Academy. The 1858-59 enrollment was 245. This, like other academies of the time, offered all grades of school work including college preparatory. During the ten years of this school's existence it prospered. The building was enlarged by the addition of eleven rooms and the bell tower. This was Recitation Hall as allstudents of C.N.C. will well remember. The large room on the first floor was The Chapel and the Methodists used it for their meetings. This accounts for the high ceilings with tall rounded top windows. In 1868 the Academy closed because Danville, by that time, had a public grade and high school. This academy, like many others over the state, served until the public school system became established. The Friends Church set up the largest number of academies in Indiana and the Methodists the next largest. Some of the illustrious students of this Academy were the Hon. Julian Hoadley, Indiana Supreme Court; the Hon. R. B. Blake of the Supreme Court of Washington, and the Hon. Enoch Hogate, Dean of Indiana Law School. Central Normal College was established by W. F. Harper at Ladoga in Montgomery County as Central Normal College and Commercial Institute with 48 students.--modelled after the National Normal School in Lebanon Ohio, one of the first such schools in the United States, where he had been a student. Enrollment outgrew school facilities and available housing. Kate Hargrave Smith donate 5-25-1982. |
