1By legislative act approved June 20, 1867, the state normal school at Peru was established and twenty sections of state land set aside for its endowment. By an act approved April 8 1903, provision was made for a new normal school to be located "at any point west of a point not exceeding five miles east of the 98th meridian," and $50,000 set aside for a building. The state normal school board located this school at Kearney. In 1909 provision was made for two new normal schools. one, by act approved April 5, 1909, was to be established by the state normal board "at any suitable location west of the east line of the sixth congressional district and north of the 42d parallel of latitude in the state," and $35,000 was appropriated for a building. This school was established at Chadron. The establishment of the other school was authorized by an act approved April 6, 1909; $90,000 was appropriated, and the normal school board authorized to purchase the Nebraska normal college at Wayne, a private institution. The board paid for this school the sum of $70,000.
