The Classification Books and Registrar of Students series is organized into two sub series: Michigan Sate Normal School, Michigan State Normal College; and three individual bound volumes: Daily Register, 1895; Student Classification Index, undated; and Graduates of Normal School, 1853-1916. The subseries of records contain indexes of students as they enrolled in Michigan State Normal School or Michigan State Normal College. Most volumes were kept chronologically with a separate alphabetical index of student names, home town, current address, and corresponding page that lists the classes each student was enrolled in, and which term. This listing is also organized alphabetically. The series dates from 1853-1949 with records missing from Summer 1918, Fall 1927, and Fall 1936.The Daily Register is for two quarters in 1895 and indicate student names, courses and absences. The Student Classification Index is undated, but is an alphabetical listing of students enrolled at Michigan State Normal. The Graduates of Normal School is a comprehensive listing of those students who achieved degrees from the Normal School between 1853-1899 and the Normal College between 1899 and 1916. Within the Michigan State Normal College subseries contains another subseries of Class listings that dates from 1902-1911. The items are arranged chronologically and are a list of classes, the department and faculty member teaching the class and the students enrolled for that term.
