This is a link to a thesis written in 1928 for the author’s Master of Arts degree. It was presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Texas. I am doing a research project focusing on my husband’s grandmother, Emogene Rabb Mize, who was a teacher in the 1920s and 1930s. The reason for this research is to analyze what a white teacher’s education consisted of in the 1920s and I am also researching what a black teacher’s education would have been at the same time. This is proving to be a very valuable document for my research.
Ah! Excellent find. There are other published histories of ETSU’s earliest years that you may find useful, including an MA thesis from the 1920s that references archival materials we think were burned in one of the university’s earliest fires.
