In 1925 the name of the college would be changed to the Arkansas State Teachers College, and a training school would be erected, serving as a professional laboratory of sorts for the student teachers to practice and observe. With a substantial increase in enrollment after World War II, the school rapidly grew in size through the middle and late twentieth century, and would racially integrate in 1956. The school continues to operate today as the University of Central Arkansas.Album measures 11.5 x 7 inches, with contents ranging in size from 1 x 1 inches to 5.25 x 4.25 inches.
