Organizational History
With a strong background in public education, John Grant Crabbe (1865-1924), president of the Eastern Kentucky State Normal School, became president of the Colorado State Teachers College. Crabbe was a product of a classical education, and emphasized liberal arts education in Greeley. He broadened the curriculum into a core of courses required of all and a menu of electives. He organized a student government and created a student voice in campus affairs. Crabbe also revamped the summer school, using the allure of spending a summer in Colorado as a marketing tool.
Crabbe was president from late summer 1916-1924.
