Kutztown University (KU) traces its origins to the Fairview Seminary. In 1860; Henry R. Nicks opened Fairview Seminary as a select school where more advanced subjects than those offered in the area were taught. In 1864; Nicks opened a new Maxatawny Seminary on the site where KU�s Old Main stands today. With growth; efforts were made to convert the seminary into a public state normal school. On September 15; 1866; Maxatawny Seminary officially became Keystone State Normal School (KSNS). KSNS was dedicated to preparing students for the teaching profession. With emphasis placed on student life and the school�s Pennsylvania German heritage; this book tells the story of KU from its modest beginnings as a teacher training school to its current mission of providing high-quality education.
