Prominent Graduates List: Normal School through New York State College for Teachers compiled by

Compilers Note: This list must be used with great caution for it in no way claims to be a
comprehensive list of all alumni/ae who were prominent. It is meant to give convenient examples of
people who were prominent ina field. Entries were selected from individuals who reported their
employment or other accomplishments to the Alumni Association and whose notices were published in
the Echo, a monthly student literary magazine/newspaper/alumni magazine published from 1892-1918,
and from the Alumni Quarterly, the Alumni Association’s magazine published from 1919-1967. The
authors have included some individuals whose careers are listed in the Historical Sketch of the State
Normal College and a History of Its Graduates for Fifty Years (Albany, 1894) but that source has not
been completely surveyed, leaving out many prominent 19" Century graduates. It must be remembered
that only a small percentage of any class regularly, or even occasionally, keeps in touch with the Alumni
Association, so many prominent people are inevitably excluded from a list such as this.
Tn order to avoid conflicts over who was a prominent individual, the first criterion for selection is that the
individual is deceased, but with many of the graduates of the classes in the 1930s and 40s that may not be
the case. Individuals are for the most part assigned to the work or service category where they made
their mark. Many individuals had accomplishments in many fields. The compilers have chosen to give
a full listing only once, but provide a cross reference from a minor field of endeavor to the major field
where the individual is listed. Individuals a listed under the name they were known when they were
prominent. There are cross references from maiden names. With some categories it was impossible to
list every individual. For instance, the category Educators: Primary & Secondary would have had
thousands or tens of thousands of entries, In that case only someone who did something unique or
worked in a unique institution is mentioned. With other categories such as Educational Administrators:
Higher Education the compilers have tried to be as comprehensive as possible. The list of people in the
category Military Service is also incomplete. The most complete list of students and graduates who
served is on the Veterans Wall. That list does not include sources of information or information about
where people served so the list below was not stricken. A complete list of prominent graduates would
have to use the Deceased Alumni Files of the Alumni Association, class reunion lists of their class
members and careers, and possibly development office files.
