Brief History of Progress of Appalachian Normal
The Appalachian Training School origin lies in a 1890s effort led by Captain E F Levill and B B Dougherty in Boone. W C Newland pushed the bill through the House amid opposition, with strong Senate appeals by R A Coughton and others. The board, later led by Loville, expanded the campus. by 1903 Blowing Rock meetings and legislative backers secured growth to a valued plant of over one million dollars and a standard two year normal program with graduates earning grammar and primary certificates.
