The new vitality and surge of the university quickly found expression in a broadened scope of teaching. A separate School of Education was created on July 1, 1921, with Professor Allen S. Whitney as dean. It trained upperclassmen to become teachers and granted a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree in education. Teachers in the state had long agitated for this development at the university, even though there were four teacher-training normal colleges in Michigan.
