·'respective Peruvians:

Peru State is the oldest college in Nebraska and the third oldest '~ 'lcher-training institution west of the Missouri river. Peru was estab~d the same year Nebraska became a state. For 35 years it was the teacher-training institution in Nebraska. For nearly nine decades College has been serving the young people of the state and surroundstates . During these 88 years thousands of young people have ed the Campus of a Thousand Oaks and have gone forth to become ,,-:her, adviser and friend to countless millions of children throughout , length and breadth of this great country.

Some of our alumni have achieved fame and fortune. Some are ·' situated in positions of high responsibility. The roll of honor of illustrious graduates is long and brilliant But no matter what their station there is a loyalty to school and state which has been undimmed by the passing years. Because of this loyalty and affection, Peru has served the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of • many of our first students.

The people of the State of Nebraska have made the facilities of this fine College available to you at a minimum of personal cost. The taxpayers of the state bear nearly all of the cost of your college education exclusive of personal expenses This support is in conformance with the deep-rooted American principle that every young person is entitled to a college education at reasonable •expense to himself and to his family.

This College believes in high academic standards, in opportunities for self-expression and personal growth in a controlled group atmosphere. You will have an opportunity to know your teachers well and to become acquainted with and associate with the finest young people anywhere. The opportunity to live with other young people in college residences offers occasion for friendship and growth for which even living at home is no complete substitute.

The College faculty and staff is here to serve you. We will be happy to consult with you regarding your educational plans.

Sincerely yours,

HISTORY

The same ye ar Nebraska became a tate , the new state legislature provided for the es ta blishment of a training school for teachers or " normal school" at Peru. At that time only two other such institutions ex isted west of th e Misso uri river-one in Kansas and one in California. The school's begin ning act ually dates back to December 2, 1865, when its predecessor in stit ution, Mount Vernon College, was organized by a group of ea rl y settlers who resolved to place the school under the " care and management of the Methodist Episcopal Church ."

After th e ch urc h declined the offer, Col. T. J . Majors , a le a der in the War Between t he States and a sta te legislator, proposed that the school be .made th e state unive rsit y. Although the offer was rejected , the state leg, lature on June 2 0, 1867 , did acce pt the school as a " norm al school'' evera l mon th s befo re the sta te univer s it y was established. For 38 years aft~ r. the Per u sch oo l beca me a " normal chool " it was the only teacher training in stit ution in the tate .

th A Nebraska's pop ulation increased , the legislature provided for a:;\ther nor~a l schoo ls-a t Kearney in 1905, at Wayne in 1910, from t Chadron m 1911. The legi lature extended the normal schools to gra ~o ;ears to fo ur yea r s in 1921, and authorized these institution s ence i; E~ e d«:grees of Bachelor of Arts in Education , Bachelor of Sciucation, an d Bachelor of Fine Arts in Education.

. When th e U . d II taff and . ?~te States entered World War II , the College offered the armed f facilities to the government for the training of officers for · orc es T h f • f . rived on J 1 · e mt umt o men m the Navy V-12 pro gram aru Y 1 , 194 3 . During the time the nearly 500 trainee received

co llege trai nin g, th e Col lege operated on an accelerated program for civilian student s and nava l trainees. Since that time many of these ees have used the hour of college credit earned at Peru for degree quirements at P eru or ot her institution of higher lea rnin g throu the n at ion.

The lib era l a rt s. curri cu lum whi ch was a uth o rized by the 1949 1 la ture made it po ssi ble for th e teacher-tra inin g in stitutions to confer Bachelor of Arts d egre e At the sa me tim e the names of th e sc hools changed from State Normal Sc hools to State Teac hers Coll eges .

MODERN LANGUAGES

Although foreign language is not prescribed as a requirement in the earning of a degree in education, students who are anticipating advanced professional and graduate study should consider their own needs. Law, medicine, engineer in g, etc., require foreign languages and most graduate schools require one of more languages for graduation. Students are encouraged to take these courses as undergraduates . Students preparing to work in some other country should take the language of that country. Through the reading of choice literary work in their original language a greater interest in the people who use these languages is stimulated and better understand in g is created. The existence of the United Nations makes this last point a necessary consideration.
