- Notes:
-
Nicholas Tillinghast (1804-1856) was the first principal of the State Normal School at Bridgewater, serving from the school's opening in September 1840 until failing health compelled his resignation in July 1853. His term saw the successful transition from the experimental status of the state normal schools in Massachusetts to their status as permanent State institutions. This was exemplified by the dedication in 1846 of the first State Normal School Building in America. The school, under Tillinghast, was based upon the "fine art of teaching," not the "lecture-examination" or "recitation-examination" model common at the time.
