History • india na state norm al school

history Created by an act of the Indiana General Assembly in 1865, Indiana State University began offering courses as Indiana State Normal School in January 1870. Established to prepare teachers for the public schools of Indiana, the Normal School’s first freshman class consisted of only 23 students.

In 1907, Indiana State Normal School began offering a four-year curriculum and quickly gained a reputation for excellence in training teachers. This success was recognized when the school’s name was changed to Indiana State Teachers College in 1929.

During the middle part of the century, the college continued its growth as the curriculum expanded beyond the field of education, and in 1960, the college officially became known as Indiana State College.

With the addition of graduate and doctoral programs, Indiana State College achieved university status and became Indiana State University in 1965. This university status led to the development of additional new programs and degrees including programs in nursing, business, social work, fine arts, and technology.

While much has changed since 1865, throughout its history, Indiana State has remained focused on providing a quality education that combines classroom experience and exciting opportunities for hands-on learning while maintaining an active leadership role as part of the Terre Haute and Wabash Valley communities.

traditions Blue and White

indiana state university • tr aditions

In 1899, it was announced that Yale blue and white would replace the colors of salmon pink and white as the school’s official colors.

Book and Torch The book and torch are official symbols of the University and are featured in its seal.

The book symbolizes knowledge and truth and the torch symbolizes the light of inspiration.

Donaghy Day Donaghy Day, named after Fred Donaghy, graduate of the Normal School (1912) and a professor of life sciences, was initiated in 1976 as a day set aside for the community to celebrate spring and to work to help beautify the campus and surrounding community.

Homecoming The term Homecoming was first used in print announcements for the AlumniVarsity Basketball Game on December 9, 1916. By the year 1919, this event had became known as Blue and White Day and featured dances and entertainment for alumni of the Normal School. In 1921, the events were organized around a football game scheduled in the autumn. Bonfires and pep rallies were added to the festivities in 1922; the Blue and White Parade in 1923; and, in 1937, Bette Whitmore (Kappa Kappa) was elected ISU’s first Homecoming Queen.

Mascot In 1995, the University introduced Sycamore Sam to the ISU family. The blueand-white creature is a favorite among young and old alike.

Sycamores In 1921, a contest was held to pick a name for the athletics teams at what was then called Indiana State Normal School. Until that time, the term “Fighting Teachers” was frequently used in press accounts of athletic contests. In January 1922, it was announced that the name Sycamores had won a popular vote of the student body. Indiana State University has used this team name ever since.

Tandem This student-organized race was first run as part of Spring Week activities in 1970. Teams today are comprised of co-ed mixed pairs, which compete on tandem bicycles.

Trike The Indiana State Tricycle Derby was first run in 1963 as a ten-lap race around the sidewalks of the Quadrangle on children’s tricycles. The races now feature men’s and women’s teams racing on specially built tricycles.

fairbanks hall Emeline Fairbanks Memorial Library - 1906 Fairbanks Hall - 1979 Formerly the Emeline Fairbanks Memorial Library, Terre Haute’s public library, this exceptional example of Beaux Arts Classicism was constructed of Indiana limestone. Purchased by Indiana State in 1979, the building was renamed Fairbanks Hall. In 1984 the hall was remodeled for classroom and studio use by ISU’s Department of Art. Remaining from the original library, a stained glass dome continues to dominate the building’s central rotunda.

“My favorite class so far at ISU – anthropology. The lecture led me toward a great opportunity for summer research with Dr. Phillips. I got to work on forensic facial reconstruction and also made presentations at the end of the summer.

Getting this hands-on work in the lab was amazing considering that I’m an undergraduate student.”

Indiana State’s Center for Public Service and Community Engagement coordinates National Youth Service Day, Alternative Spring Break (you can spend your spring break assisting communities that have been impacted by disasters, such as those affected by Hurricane Katrina), Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, and volunteers for Indiana Special Olympics.

Experience is anything that takes you beyond reading about a career and allows you to “taste and see” what a career field entails. We want you to discover your career-related passions, too.

Internships while at Indiana State provide you with career-related experiences and allow you to explore careers and apply classroom theory in hands-on field experiences.

Eating at Indiana State

variety, choice, and convenie nce

Eating your meals in the ISU dining halls offers variety, convenience, and great taste. The ISU Plan is a prepaid system of credits and cash that lets you eat in a dining hall, choose from a variety of meal times, and save money, time and the effort of preparing your own meals.

You pay for the ISU Plan as part of your residence hall fees. Over 1,300 credits will be applied to your student ID card each semester to be used to purchase meals in the dining halls. Each meal has an assigned number of credits; for example breakfast is six credits. Meals are all you can eat—and there’s a lot for you to eat. Food options include: • Breakfast (you can create your own omelet) • Fresh salads • Sandwiches • Pizza • Specially cooked meals • Hot foods and meals just like at home • Snacks (including healthy fruits and vegetables) • Special dietary meals (these can be prepared with advance notice to the food service staff )

commons cash As part of purchasing the ISU Plan you also receive Commons Cash—a specified amount of money (usually about $100 per semester) that can be used to eat in the Commons food court of Hulman Memorial Student Union. Here you have a choice of restaurants that include: • Einstein Bros. Bagels • Taco Bell • Mein Bowl Authentic • Burger King Asian Cuisine • Pizza Hut • Sub Connection Once you pay for your ISU Plan, the credits are yours as long as you continue to live on campus. At the end of each year, your credit points (those credits used for eating in the residence hall) are converted to Commons Cash to be used in the Food Court.

blue bucks Indiana State University created the Blue Bucks program to be the ultimate complement to your university experience.

Your Blue Bucks account is tied to your existing ISU Student ID Card, all you have to do is swipe your Student ID Card at participating (on-campus and off-campus) locations at the time of purchase. Once swiped, your balance is deducted from your Blue Bucks account. No more digging into your spending money, late night stops at the ATM or charging up credit cards.

One of my elementary education classes dealt with Microsoft Office. I found that to be quite helpful for the other classes I’m taking because I can navigate my way through PowerPoint presentations like it’s going out of style. Many professors present their lectures through PowerPoint, which they then post on the ISU portal so we students can refer to them after class if needed.”

“ISU was the first university in Indiana to require freshmen to own laptops, and we use them all the time. Almost the whole campus is wireless.

—Danek

Approximately 1300 Dell laptops were distributed to laptop scholarship winners in fall 2010.

new student orientation The University’s New Student Orientation Program will bring you (and your family) to campus before fall classes begin. Orientation is designed to introduce you to our diverse academic programs, the advising and registration process, University traditions, and campus pride.

These programs are compulsory for all first-time new students. Parents and families are encouraged to attend as well. Before arriving on campus for orientation, you will take an on-line placement examination and an on-line career assessment.

These are designed to inform your advisors of how best to prepare you for your chosen field of study.

New Student Orientation is offered in the summer, usually in June. There is a charge for orientation.
