- Description
- Photograph of West Hall taken post 1951. West Hall was named after Henry S. West, Principal of the Maryland State Normal School from 1917 until 1920. During his time as head of the Normal School, Dr. West encountered several difficulties, most of which may be attributed to United States involvement in World War I. At the time of Dr. West's appointment, many of the school's teachers had left to serve their country, and with one exception, the male students of the Normal School were enlisted or drafted. Although enrollment continued to drop for the three years which Dr. West served, interest and activity at the school increased. Dr. West introduced the first summer session in 1918, and education became increasingly practical. Wartime economy was taught in math and economics courses, and special courses in first-aid and home nursing were introduced.
