Abstract
By the end of 1875, 92 of 307 MNAS students completed Class A and became eligible to receive the certificate designed by Charles Barry for the school’s first commencement ceremony. Sixty-four graduates (28 men and 36 women, including four married women) were recognized at the June ceremony. We tend to think of post-secondary students as young adults in their late teens or early twenties, who enter college immediately after high school. When the school opened its doors, however, few had even completed high school. In this sense, normal schools often substituted for high school, and normal art school students tended to be older than those in other state normal schools.
