Front view of the San Francisco State Normal School at Buchanan and Waller Streets following the fire of June 12, 1917. The blaze severely damaged College Hall, leading the Training School to relocate temporarily into the Waller Street wing of the building. At this time, San Francisco State was expanding its curriculum, including the introduction of formal instruction in physical education and athletics. The period also saw the implementation of student dress codes, reflecting the evolving professional standards of teacher training in the early twentieth century.
