Description
This is one of the first records of the transition from Alabama Girls' Technical Institute and College for Women, that still taught high school courses, into Alabama College, State College for Women that offered four-year courses such as home economics. This movement for the change was passed by President Palmer as well as the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees. While this was merely the first record of recommendation that the school be transformed into a college, this notion would eventually pass a few years later and the school would permanently discontinue high school courses, as well as add more major courses in lieu of three year courses that the technical school originally offered. The establishment of the college as a liberal arts and sciences college would later prove to be an excellent decision, as the University of Montevallo is the only public liberal arts college in Alabama as of 2017.
