Q. Do you know where I can find a portrait or a photo of William J. Corthell, the first president of Gorham Normal School? It's for a project I'm working on.

Yes. There is a portrait of President Corthell on the first floor of Corthell Hall on the Gorham campus.

Additionally, there is a small photo on page 11 in the book, See the Green and White Advancing: A History of Gorham Normal School, Teachers College, and State College 1878 to 1970. Click the link below to find out which Libraries have this book.
