And also in Wisconsin.  They then changed from Normal Schools  into
Wisconsin State Teachers' Colleges, and then Wisconsin State  Colleges.  
Eventually  the State Legislature simply declared them all to be  branches 
of the
of the University of Wisconsin System.
 
This was initially very unpopular in the flagship UW-Madison, but I  think
everyone has gotten used to the nomenclature.  We now have
UW-Milwaukee, UW-Superior, UW-Whitewater, UW LaCrosse,
UW-Eau Claire, UW-Stout (Menomonee), UW-River Falls, UW-Stevens
Point, UW-Green Bay, UW-Parkside (Racine), UW-Platteville, in  addition
to UW-Madison.
 
UW-Milwaukee presently has 28,000 students and grants graduate
degrees on its own, including masters and PhD's.
 
Several of the others have student bodies over 10,000.
 
Education is big business.
