In the 1940s, Southern Illinois State Normal University was transitioning from a normal school into the university it is today. During this decade, university officials produced documentation to help justify this transformation to the Illinois General Assembly. This document portrays the university's place in the higher education landscape by discussing the university's organization, the Southern Illinois economic and social situation, the university's educational programs, and the university's relationship to other Illinois institutions of higher education.
