Biographical/historical information

East Carolina Teacher's Training School opened in 1909 as a teacher's training school for both white women and men, although very few men began enrolling until the 1930s. In 1922 the school was renamed East Carolina Teacher's College and then again to East Carolina College in 1951 when it became a four year institution. In 1967 it gained university status in the University of North Carolina System.
