Photograph of Henry P. Carlton, principal of the San Jose State Normal School College from 1866-67 and February-May 1868. Henry P. Carlton grew up on a farm in Andover, Massachusetts, and excelled in writing and speaking. He attended Vermont University but never finished due to illness. Before becoming principal of the State Normal School, Carlton worked in the insurance business, was principal of the North Beach Grammar School in San Francisco, was deputy to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and held the position of vice principal of the Normal School. His main contribution to the Normal School was research in the fields of Physiology, Natural History and mental philosophy as they apply to teaching. While at the Normal School, he collected nearly all of the then-known species of land and fresh water shells of the Pacific Coast. http://www.sjsu.edu/about_sjsu/history/presidents/ Scanned with Microtek Scanmaker 1000XL Pro; as a 600 dpi TIFF image in 8-bit Grayscale.
