C. O\u2019Conor Goolrick played a key role in the effort to create a school for teachers located in Fredericksburg. At that time, Virginia\u2019s only institution devoted exclusively to the training of public school teachers was the State Normal School for Women at Farmville (now Longwood University).<\/p>\n<p>During the 1908 legislative session, two new locations were under consideration: Fredericksburg and Harrisonburg. A battle ensued, with the Senate choosing Harrisonburg and the House of Delegates selecting Fredericksburg.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_89091\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-89091\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/givingday.umw.edu\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"89091\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/2019\/03\/14\/umw-celebrates-111th-founders-day\/marywashday_vert_cmyk_hires\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/03\/MaryWashDay_vert_cmyk_hires.png\" data-orig-size=\"1259,1144\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"MaryWashDay_vert_cmyk_hires\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Mary Wash Giving Day takes place Tuesday, March 19.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/03\/MaryWashDay_vert_cmyk_hires-300x273.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/03\/MaryWashDay_vert_cmyk_hires-1024x930.png\" class=\"wp-image-89091 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/03\/MaryWashDay_vert_cmyk_hires-300x273.png\" alt=\"Mary Wash Giving Day takes place Tuesday, March 19.\" width=\"300\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/03\/MaryWashDay_vert_cmyk_hires-300x273.png 300w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/03\/MaryWashDay_vert_cmyk_hires-768x698.png 768w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/03\/MaryWashDay_vert_cmyk_hires-1024x930.png 1024w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/03\/MaryWashDay_vert_cmyk_hires-1140x1036.png 1140w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/03\/MaryWashDay_vert_cmyk_hires-600x545.png 600w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/03\/MaryWashDay_vert_cmyk_hires.png 1259w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-89091\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mary Wash Giving Day takes place Tuesday, March 19.
