| In 1889, Centreville's landscape was forever changed by the creation of the Slippery Rock State Normal School. The first class was made up of 168 students enrolled in a fourteen week term, and tuition, room and board came to a grand total of $32.00! Since that time, the University has been renamed three times- from Slippery Rock State Teacher's College to Slippery Rock State College to Slippery Rock University-and has grown from its humble beginnings to accommodate approximately 8,000 students! |
