Windmill Gift Follows Senate Battle Over Normal School Bills
Senator W L Clayton faced fierce opposition as three new normal school bills and a teacher licensing bill faced passage in the sixteenth general assembly. Despite tactics to advance the measures, Clayton’s speeches and steadfast resistance preserved the Greeley Normal School and thwarted moves that would favor Fort Collins or reduce the institution. Local figures like Dr Z X Snyder and J L Brush aided the effort to protect Greeley.
