392               <h2>&nbsp;The History of Troy University</h2>
393               
394               <p>&nbsp;Troy University's tradition of teaching excellence dates to its founding on February
395                  26, 1887, when an act of the Alabama Legislature established Troy State Normal School
396                  as an institution to train teachers for Alabama's schools. Joseph Macon Dill was the
397                  institution's first president. In 1893, the school was renamed Troy State Normal College.</p>
398               
399               <p><img class="" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/_assets/about-us/_images/first-building-downtown-troy.jpg" alt="First Building Downtown Troy, AL "></p>
400               
401               <p>The Normal College offered extension courses for teachers and granted teaching certificates
402                  until 1929, when the State Board of Education changed the charter of the institution
403                  and renamed it Troy State Teacher's College. That same year, the college moved to
404                  its present site and the first two buildings were dedicated: Shackelford Hall, named
405                  for Edward Madison Shackelford, president of the school from 1899-1936, and Bibb Graves
406                  Hall, named for David Bibb Graves, Alabama's “education governor.” Governor Bibb Graves
407                  is also remembered for commissioning the Olmsted Brothers architectural firm of Brookline,
408                  Massachusetts, to design the campus landscape plan. The building has since been renamed
409                  to honor the memory of Civil Rights icon and longtime Georgia Congressman John Robert
410                  Lewis, a Pike County native.</p>
411               
412               <p>Like many American universities, Troy State Teacher's College enjoyed one of its most
413                  prosperous periods of growth in the years following World War II when returning veterans
414                  took advantage of the <span>VA Educational Benefits</span>. The enrollment of the College more than doubled and this growth led to the introduction
415                  of degree programs in disciplines other than education, most notably in business.
416                  In 1957, the State Board of Education recognized this expanded role and dropped “Teacher's”
417                  from Troy State College's name.</p>
418               
419               <p>The decade of the 1950s also marked the University's long relationship with the United
420                  States Military, as extension courses were offered on nearby bases, first at then-Fort
421                  Rucker, near Dothan, and later at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery. A separate
422                  Troy State College teaching center was established at Fort Rucker in 1961, which evolved
423                  into the present-day Dothan Campus. A similar center, begun at Maxwell Air Force Base
424                  in 1965, led to the creation of the present-day Montgomery Campus. These programs
425                  were the forerunners of the modern TROY Service Centers division of Troy University,
426                  which operates all TROY teaching sites outside Alabama. In 1973, the University opened
427                  sites at military bases in Florida. Today, TROY Service Centers operate some 20 sites
428                  in seven U.S. states, at locations in Japan and South Korea, and partnerships with
429                  universities in Vietnam and Malaysia.</p>
430               
431               <p>In 1967, Gov. Lurleen B. Wallace appointed eight members to the newly established
432                  Troy State College Board of Trustees, removing the institution from the control of
433                  the State Board of Education. One of the first acts of the new board was to recommend
434                  the change of the name to Troy State University. The new name became official on Dec.
435                  14, 1967.</p>
436               
437               <p>In 1975, the Phenix City Campus was opened as a branch of the main campus.</p>
438               
439               <p>In 1982, the Troy State University System was formed, as the campuses in Dothan and
440                  Montgomery were granted independent accreditation status. In April of 2004 the Board
441                  of Trustees voted to drop "State" from the University's name to better reflect the
442                  institution's worldwide mission. Starting August 2005, all TROY campuses were again
443                  unified under one accreditation.</p>
