The Southern Educator

Before there was WKU, there was the Southern Normal. A school that evolved from the Glasgow Normal, which moved to Bowling Green and changed hands several times before the Cherry brothers took over. The Southern Normal existed between 1893 and 1906 when it split into WKU and the Bowling Green Business University.

The Southern Educator serves as a journal of pedagogy, alumni magazine, advertisement for the Southern Normal, course listings and gives an overall look into the daily life of the Southern Normal.  Published more or less quarterly from 1897 to 1906, the newspaper is being digitized and made available online to researchers.  A name index available at: http://www.wku.edu/Library/dlsc/ua/bgbu-a.htm.

  1. This website is very good, i like it

  2. this was a really quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and never seem to get something done.

  4. I like this article, thank you for your sharing.

  5. Funny how things evolve. but that’s how things are..publications are the stuffs i always look for when i go to libraries, especially those concerning daily events and updates..reading this article, southern normal seems to be a good example in promoting what they have to offer. Things should always start from you before looking ahead further.

  6. well worth the read. I found it very informative as I have been researching a lot lately on practical matters such as you talk about…
