Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Mexico Normal University Bulletin; November, 1922: General Catalog for 1922-1923 In 1893 the Honorable Felix Martinez and Senator Albert B. Fall, members of the Territorial Council of New Mexico, prepared a bill and secured its passage, creating the New Mexico Normal School at Silver City and the New Mexico Normal School at Las Vegas. By special law the name of the Normal School at Las Vegas was changed to the New Mexico Normal University in 1899, and its powers were enlarged so that the school might exercise the functions of a college of education. Such a school has a double purpose: to train young men and women to be efficient teachers, who are leaders in the higher and better phases of the social life of the state; and to furnish a pedagogical laboratory, Where theories of education are tested. The Normal University has striven to fulfill this two fold mission during its entire existence, believing, with the founders of the institution, that it cannot serve the state adequately Without co-ordinating these two func ions - teacher training and research. The school is recognized by the great universities as doing work of the first order and its graduates are grant ed certificates, Without examination, in such progressive states as New Mexico, California, Washington, Idaho, and twenty others.
