The yearbook includes student photographs, information about the faculty and governing board, academic departments and disciplines, curriculum, student organizations, and athletics. The student staff also contributed written pieces on various subjects, such as the city of Milwaukee, class histories, poetry, and sketches. It ceased publication in 1941.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lead-in\">The digital collection includes the yearbooks for most years that the Milwaukee Normal School\/Milwaukee State Teachers College was in operation. The title \u201cThe Echo\u201d was also used for a number of other publications created by the college, including a monthly in 1915, a weekly beginning in 1919, and a summer edition in 1946, which are not included here.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":137,"featured_media":4679,"parent":0,"menu_order":13,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/full-width.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","uwm_wg_additional_authors":[]},"class_list":["post-4677","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
