为什么师范大学被叫做 NORMAL UNIVERSITY 为什么师范大学被叫做 NORMAL UNIVERSITY - this confused me for many years.Sometimes I feel strange to tell others I graduated from a NORMAL university.....Normal means plain, ordinary, simple also....Why is a university that trains teachers called "normal university"?

A normal university is one that trains its students to be teachers. It is called a normal university because it trains students in teaching standards, or 'norms', as they are sometimes called. Hence, the name.

"A normal school is a school created to train high school graduates to be teachers. Its purpose is to establish teaching standards or norms, hence its name. Most such schools are now called teachers' colleges; however, in some places, the term normal school is still used." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_school
