History[]

File:Dr. Michael D. Shonrock.jpg

Michael Shonrock, Emporia State's current president.

The university was founded in March 1863 when the Kansas Legislature passed the enabling act to establish the Kansas State Normal School. Although the university was established in 1863, the first class didn't begin until February 15, 1865.[8]

The first president of the Kansas Normal School and its only teacher, Lyman Kellogg, taught 18 students on the second floor of the district school house. At the first commencement on June 28, 1867, the graduating class consisted of two women — Ellen Plumb and Mary Jane Watson; the first, Judge Watson’s daughter and the second from Senator Preston B. Plumb’s family. Kellogg saw to it that the Normal got off to an good start before becoming a successful lawyer, honored judge, and Attorney General of Kansas. The school's first graduating class consisted of two women — Ellen Plumb and Mary Jane Watson — in 1867, the year the first permanent building was completed.[9]

The name "Normal" originated in France during the 17th century and was given to schools that had "model" classrooms or schools designed to educate teachers–in–training the proper practices of teaching students. The United States had many Normal schools in the 19th century and most changed their names to "Teachers College". Many later became "State Universities."[10]

In 1876, the Kansas Legislature passed the "Miscellaneous appropriations bill of 1876".[11] The end result was that Leavenworth Normal and Concordia Normal were closed so the state funding for normal schools could be directed to Emporia.[12]

KSN branched out with locations in Pittsburg and Hays, Kansas. The western branch in Hays opened June 3, 1902 and is today known as Fort Hays State University. The Pittsburg branch was opened as the Manual Training Auxiliary School in 1904 and became a four–year school named Kansas State Teachers College of Pittsburg in 1913. Today it is Pittsburg State University.[13]

In February 1923, the name of the school was changed to the Kansas State Teachers College. In July 1974, the name was changed to Emporia Kansas State College. On April 21, 1977, the college became Emporia State University. Even before any of the name changes were made official by the Kansas Legislature and Board of Regents, though, the school was called Emporia State unofficially by some in the public and in many news reports.[14]

Dr. Michael Shonrock became the 16th president of Emporia State University on Jan. 3, 2012.[15]

Mascots[]

File:Corky the Hornet.png

Corky the Hornet is Emporia State University's mascot.[98] In the 1930s, when Emporia State University was named Kansas State Teachers College, the athletic teams were known as the "Yaps". Many people were not fond of the name, most notably legendary coach, Vic Trusler.[99] Trusler suggested to a local writer, Cecil Carle of the Emporia Gazette, that the university's athletic teams should be called the "Yellow Jackets". However, the name changed to "Hornets" because of the lack of newspaper space.[99]

In 1933, the Kansas State Teachers College had a student contest where students and staff could design a mascot for the college. A sophomore by the name of Paul Edwards, who graduated in 1937, designed Corky for a campus–wide logo contest. Many students sent in their drawings of a mascot, but they chose Edwards' Corky, a "human–like" hornet. Corky was published in The Bulletin, the student newspaper for Emporia State University.[99]

In August 2014, it was announced that in January 2015, Corky will have a nephew.[100] Buz will be a smaller, more "child friendly" hornet that will visit local schools, participate in community events and be present at ESU activities. Buz will be designed by Corky's creator Paul Edwards, who is turning 100 years old in January 2015. Buz will also debut in January 2015 at Edwards' birthday party.[100]

Foundation[]

The Emporia State University Foundation was established in 1952.[101] It was established as an independent, nonprofit corporation that exists to support Emporia State University. The Foundation raises, receives, manages, invests, and distributes private resources in support of the university’s mission in the areas of teaching, research, public service, and scholarship.

Now & Forever Campaign[]

File:Now & Forever Campaign (ESU) logo.png

Now & Forever Campaign logo

In February 2013, the University announced a campaign to raise $45 million in five–to–seven years.[102] The campaign started in February 2013, when the University turned 150.[102] The University has a $45 million and a vision goal of $63 million – and armed with 18 Big Ideas that will propel us into our next 150 years.[103] The $63 million and 18 Big Ideas comes from the year the University was established (1863.)[103]

The Campaign's slogan is Silent no more.[103] After an announcement of a donation, big or small, the University rings a bell called Silent Joe.[104] The bell, which is located just south of Francis G. Welch Stadium, was originally rung only after a football team won at home.[105]
