 LYMAN BEECHER
KELLOGG
President
of Kansas State Normal School
from 1865 to 1871
Lyman Beecher Kellogg became the first president of Kansas
State Normal School, now Emporia State University, in 1865. He was
born in Lorain County, Ohio, September 28, 1841, but spent most
of his youth in Illinois. He graduated from Illinois State Normal
University in June 1864. In January 1865, he was selected to head
the fledgling Kansas State Normal School. The school opened on February
15, 1865, with 18 students in a stone schoolhouse. Funding, facilities,
and even teaching materials were limited in the early years, and
Kellogg was the only teacher. Kellogg taught from a classic background,
emphasizing Latin and English. In fall of 1865, he added Henry Brace
Norton, also an Illinois Normal University graduate, to the faculty.
Kellogg left Kansas
State Normal School in 1871 and went on to become a member of the
state Legislature, later a probate judge, and eventually attorney
general of Kansas.
Kellogg Circle is named
in his honor.
