释义 |
Oakland Normal Institute (sometimes called Oakland College) was a private school in Yale, Itawamba County, Mississippi. It provided a classical education in art and Latin, as well as education and business courses.[1] The school was established in 1887, and remained open until 1904, when it became a county school. The original two-story building was torn down in the 1930s, and a one-story building was erected using much of the older building. The Oakland School, serving grades 1 through 8, was closed in 1954. In the 1950s a historic marker was erected at the school site, by former alumni of the Oakland Normal Institute. The Oakland School building was renovated in 2004 and is now a Mississippi Historical Landmark.[2] Notable alumni include T. Jeff Busby, a U.S. Representative from Mississippi,[3] and John Breckinridge, a U.S. Attorney General.{{citation needed|date=March 2014}} References1. ^{{cite web | title = Oakland Normal Institute Graduation Program: 1895 | publisher = Itawamba Historical Society | date = March 8, 2009 | url = http://itawambahistory.blogspot.ca/2009/03/oakland-normal-institute-graduation.html}} {{Mississippi-university-stub}}2. ^{{cite web | title = Oakland Normal Institute | publisher = Itwamba County | url = http://issuu.com/communitylink/docs/itawambacoms12/5 | accessdate = March 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web | title = BUSBY, Thomas Jefferson, (1884 - 1964) | publisher = Biographical Directory of the United States Congress | url = http://bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=B001163 | accessdate = March 2014}} 1 : Education in Itawamba County, Mississippi |
