Aerial Photo of the New Jersey State Teachers College at Glassboro
Text
This photograph is an aerial view of Bunce Hall at the New Jersey State Teachers College at Glassboro, now Rowan University. The photo, dated approximately 1924, shows the Sangree Greenhouse, the school's baseball field (left), and railroad tracks (bottom left), all of which still exist in the exact locations. The forested area behind Bunce Hall is the current location of Bozorth Hall and Hawthorn Hall. The area at the top of the photo shows open fields and young peach orchards at the current location of Route 322 and Rowan University's Science Hall, Savits Hall, the Campbell Library, and the Chamberlain Student Center.
The State Teachers College was initially called the Glassboro Normal School until its name changed in 1937. During the 1950s, the New Jersey State Teachers College at Glassboro added several buildings, and enrollment was increased. The name was again changed in 1958 to Glassboro State College.
