To Prospective Peruvians:

Peru State is the oldest college in - Nebraska and the third oldest teacher-training institution west of the Missouri River. Peru was established the same year Nebraska became a state. For 38 years it was the only teacher-training institution in Nebraska. For more than nine decades this College has been serving the young people of the state and surrounding states. During these 93 years thousands of young peopk have crossed the Campus of a Thousand Oaks and have gone forth to become teachers, adviser and friend to countless millions of children throughout the length and breadth of this great country.

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 most 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.

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

Sincerely yours, .

Neal S. Gomon, President.

GENERAL INFORMATION

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 College, 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 e ducation 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 A rt s in Edu cati on, Bachelor of Science in Education, and Bachelor of Fine Arts in Education.

When the United States entered 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 operated on an accelerated program for both civilian students and nava.l trainees. Since that time many of these trainees have u sed the hours of college credit earned at Peru for degree requirements at Peru or other institutions of higher learning throughout the nation.

The liberal arts curriculum which was authorized by the 1949 legislature made it possible for the teacher-education institutions to confer the Bachelor of Arts degree. At the same time the names of the schools were changed from State Normal Scl10ols 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.

CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS

College credit is expressed in terms of the "semester hour", which represents the satisfactory completion of three hours of work per week for one semester (18 weeks). The work may include any type of activity prescribed in the course-classroom work, preparation, laboratory or shop work, etc.

· Students having earned less than 26 semester hours of credit are classified as freshmen; 26 to 55 hours as sophomores; 56 to 87 hours as juniors; and 88 to 125 hours as seniors. Degree students earning additional under-graduate credit are classified as post-graduate students.

COURSE NUMBERS

Students enrolled in the College register for course corresponding to their classification (freshman, sophomore, etc .) unless advised to do otherwise. Courses numbered 1-99 are unclassified and open to all students . Courses numbered 100-199 are for freshmen; 200-299 for sophomores; 300-399 for juniors; 400-499 for seniors; 400G-499G for graduates

DEPARTMENTAL ASSISTANTS

Departmental Assistants are positions open to students in their field of concentration. Generally these pos,itions are intended for students who will enter graduate study directly upon graduation from Peru. As an Assistant, the student assists with preparation, administration, and elvaluation of tests in lower division classes , and assists with various other classroom activities which will give him first hand experience. . The position of Departmental Assistant carries no hours of credit . However, the experience is recognized by being placed upon the student's permanent record and becoming a part thereof.

CLASS ATTENDANCE

'Students are expected to attend ·classes regularly, arrive punctually and do all assigned work in each class The student agrees to this when he registers for a course. Attendance is a privilege and a responsibility represented not only by the student's investment but also a considerable investment by the State.

Whenever the absences of a student reach the point of being detrimental to the student's standing in a class , the instructor will report same to the Dean of Students . The Dean of Students will hold a conference with the instructor and the student a't which time it will be determined whether or not the student will be allowed to continue in the class .

Instructors are under no obligation to allow students to make up work for absences for which there are no valid reasons. To be assured of the privilege of making up work missed ; the student should confer with the instructor prior to the absence or be sure that the reason for the absence will qualify for an excuse. Furthermore, the student can demonstrate an interest in his classes and a responsibility for his attendance by advising the ins'tructors of his illness or other emergency which prevent his attendance. No student is expected to attend classes when be is ill ; particµlarly, if the illness be a communicable disease.

- EXCUSES

The Dean of Students handles class and convocation attendance records, issuing excused or unexcused absences as policies dictate. Excused absences are granted for these reasons:

CONVOCATIONS

Convocation is held every other Wednesday. The Wednesday morning schedule is shortened allowing a convocation period of forty minutes from 9:30 to 10: 10. The College officials believe there to be benefits from such meetings which may otherwise be omitted from the students' college life. The programs are educational, informative, and otherwise serve to promote spirit, loyalty, and increase the students' acquaintance in the college community. It is for these reasons that attendance is required.

RESIDENT ATTENDANCE

A mm1mum of 24 hours of resident credit earned in the College is required for the issuance of a one-year diploma, and 30 hours resident credit ear1,1ed in the College is required for a 2-year diploma or a degree.

or F Failing...'....Below 60 %

X Incomplete

WP Authorized withdrawalpassing work at time

W F Authorized withdrawalfailing work at time

The grades in numbers as above indicate the value of each semester hour of credit and also become the means for calculating the student's grade point average (GPA) to compare with · prevailing scholarship standards Students are urged to calculate their own GPA from time to

SCHOLARSHIP STANDARDS

The Personnel and Scholarship Committee follows the educational progress of all students, provides assistance and ene0uragement, and makes recommendation on the disposition of unusual cases. Grades are reviewed at the end of each nine-week period. Freshman students who, at the end of either the first or second semester, have a grade point average of less than 3.00 for the minimum 12-hour load are placed on scholastic probation the following semester . Students above freshman classification having a grade point average of le ss than 3.50 at the end of any semester are likewise placed on scholastic probation .

Probation., At the close of a semester when ftnal reports are in the Registrar 's office from all instructors , scholastic probation is placed over those students who have not reached the minimum GPA as ab9ve on their classification. This probation applies to the following semester and the student may not enroll for more th an 15 hours. During this semester on probation it is hoped that he will maintain a GPA of 3.00 ot 3.50 and higher as to his classification to restore him to good standing.

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, engineering, etc., require foreign languages and most graduate schools require one or 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 understanding is created. The existence of the United Nations makes this last point a necessary consideration .
