[edit] History
The School of Education grew out of the Department of Psychology and Education established in 1904. As the department grew, and the demand for local education training increased, the Trustees of the University adopted a plan on February 3, 1910 for the organization of the School.[5] The first term of the School of Education began on September 26th, 1910 and it shared space with the Schools of Mines and Engineering.[6] Will Grant Chambers served as its first Dean and Head Professor.[7]
