History

In September 1891, James Pile, a math professor from Fremont, and citizens of Wayne founded Nebraska Normal College. The school began with a four-person faculty and a student body of seven. Nearly two decades later, more than 1,000 students were attending the school each year. The state purchased Nebraska Normal College, and it became Nebraska State Normal College on April 6, 1909.
