Scanlon's brief history of the College (pp. 3-8) is followed by lists of the faculty and graduates, a list of known living students and their places of residence, and several addresses by the school's founder and his wife. Shenandoah Normal College was a small, co-educational institution founded in 1883. The prospectus for the college proclaimed it a "School for the People . . . Thorough, Practical, Progressive" (Hoenshel, "Shenandoah Normal College," circa 1883). Its primary mission was to train teachers, but it also had a few graduates each year in a scientific track. The college was originally established in Middletown, Virginia, moved to a larger facility in Harrisonburg in 1887, and relocated again in 1890, to Basic City. In 1893, the building at Basic City was destroyed in a fire. Benefactors of the school helped establish a new campus at Reliance later the same year. George Washington Hoenshel (1858-1896), a native of Mendon, Pa., was the principal of the Shenandoah Normal College throughout its history and the school was closed following his death. The compiler of this pamphlet, David Howard Scanlon (1875-1950), a native of Staunton, Va., was a graduate of the college and a member of the faculty. He became a Presbyterian minister and preached at various places before settling in Durham, N.C. Scarce. Haynes 16415.
