HISTORY

The same year Nebraska became a state, the new state legislature provided for the establishment of a training school for teachers or "normal school" at Peru. At that time only two other such institutions existed west of the Missouri river-one in Kansas and one in California. The school's beginning actually dates back to December 2, 1865, when its predecessor institution, Mount Vernon Colle g e, was organized by a group of early settlers who resolved to place the school under the "care and management of the Methodist Episcopal Church.''

After the church declined the offer, Col. T. J. Majors, a leader in the War Between the States and a state legislator, proposed that the school be made the state university. Although the offer was rejected , the state legislature on June 20, 1867, did accept the school as a "normal school" several months before the state university was established . For 38 years after the Peru school became a " normal school" it was the only teacher training institution in the state.

As Nebraska's population increased, the legislature provided for three other normal schools-at Kearney in 1905, at Wayne in 1910 , and at Chadron in 1911. The legislature extended the normal schools from two years to four years in 1921, and authorized these institutions to grant the degrees of Bachelor of Arts in Education, Bachelor of Science in Education, and Bachelor of Fine Arts in Education.

When the United States e~tered World War II, the College offered its staff and facilities to the government for the training of officers for the armed forces. The first unit of men in the Navy V-12 program arrived on July 1, 1943. During the time the nearly 500 trainees received college training, the College

GENERAL INFORMATION

operated on an accelerated program for both civilian students and naval trainees. Since that time many of these trainees have used the hours of college credit earned at Peru for degree requirements at Peru or other institution s of higher learning throughout the nation .

The liberal arts curriculum which was authorized by the 1949 legislature made it possible for the teacher-training institutions to confer th~ Bachelor of Arts degree. At the same time the names of the schools were changed from State Normal Schools to State Teachers Colleges. In 1956 the Board of Education of State Normal Schools authorized these colleges to grant the Master of Science in Education and Master of Arts in Education degrees.

MODERN LANGUAGES

Although foreign lan guage is not prescribed as a requirement in the earning ·of a degree in education, students who are anticipati n g advanced professional and graduate st ud y should consider their own needs. Law, medicine, engineering, etc., require foreign lan guages and most graduate schools require one or more lan guages 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 understanding is created. The existence of the United Nations makes this l ast point a necessary consideration.
