found: Fitchburg State University web site, January 3, 2024:(When Fitchburg State was established in 1894, it was known as the State Normal School in Fitchburg, and the sole curriculum was a two-year teacher-training program for women. In 1930, the State Normal School was authorized to offer a bachelor's degree in practical arts, and in 1932, when the name was officially changed to the State Teachers College at Fitchburg, four-year degrees were offered in all areas of education. The college expanded its mission in 1960 by diversifying its programs to include degrees in disciplines other than education. It also changed its name to the State College at Fitchburg for five years before becoming Fitchburg State College in 1965. In 2010, the governor signed legislation that established a state university system in Massachusetts, and the institution's current name, Fitchburg State University, was enacted.) - https://www.fitchburgstate.edu/about/history-fitchburg-state
