To counter the trend, the state decided to build a two-year trainingschool for teachers, known then as a normal school, in southern New Jersey.The town of Glassboro was an early favorite because of its excellent rail system, harmonious blend ofindustry and agriculture, natural beauty and location in the heart of South Jersey. Several towns inSouth Jersey competed to be the site of the new normal school because of the economic benefit andprestige such an institution would bring. In 1917, to sway the decision in their favor, 107 residents ofGlassboro raised more than 7,000 to purchase 25 acres, which they offered to the state for free if theyselected Glassboro as the site.The land tract included the Whitney mansion and carriage house. Before the purchase, the entireproperty belonged to the Whitney family, prominent owners of the Whitney Glass Works during the1800s. This show of support, along with the site's natural beauty, convinced the selection committeethat Glassboro was the perfect location.In September 1923, Glassboro Normal School opened with 236 young women arriving by train toconvene in the school's first building, now called Bunce Hall. Dr. Jerohn Savitz, the University's firstpresident, expanded the curriculum as the training of teachers became more sophisticated. Despite therigors of the depression, the program was expanded to four years in 1934, and in 1937 the school4
changed its name to New Jersey State Teachers College at Glassboro.The college gained a national reputation as a leader in the field of
