In 1857 the San Francisco Board of Education established Minns' Evening Normal School for current and prospective teachers
in the city. Named after its principal, George W. Minns, the institution was formally established as the first California
State Normal School by the State Legislature in 1862. A decade later, the Legislature voted to move the Normal School to San
José, and the school relocated to its new home on Washington Square prior to the fall term of 1872. After a fire destroyed
the Normal School building in 1880, the Legislature authorized $200,000 to construct a new building on the same site. Completed
in 1881, the building was commonly referred to as the Second State Normal School. After several names and curriculum changes,
Minns' Normal School is now San José State University, offering more than 134 bachelor's and master's degrees with 110 concentrations,
and is recognized as one of the top public universities granting such degrees in the West.
The San José State University Schedule of Classes Collection, 1924-2004, documents the published schedule of classes for students
and faculty offered each quarter or semester. The collection consists of 17 boxes that contain single records, pamphlets and
booklets.
This collection is arranged into two series: Series I. Schedule of Classes, 1924-2004; Series II. Schedule of Classes Duplicates,
1924-2004.
