Offered here is an old antique early 19th century mathematics book, "A Course of Mathematics In Two Volumes For The Use Of Academies, As Well As Private Tuition", Charles Hutton, LL.D., 1812 - 1812 - Wm J. Milne's Copy.
William J. Milne (1843-1914), was president of the New York State Normal College from 1889 until his death in 1914. In 1890 Milne, with the support of Secretary of State Draper, directed the transformation of the New York State Normal School into the State Normal College, a school with the single mission of providing pedagogical training to high school and elementary school teachers, and, after 1905, the subsequent transition of the Normal College into a four year liberal arts college for teachers. Shortly before Milne’s death in 1914, the Regents changed the name of the State Normal College to the New York State College for Teachers, recognition of the full collegiate status the College had attained. The Milne School, the school’s practice junior and senior high school until 1977, was also named in Milne’s honor.
