To Prospective Peruvians:

Peru State is the oldest coll eg e in Nebrask a and the third oldest te a cher-training institution west' of the Missouri River. Peru was established the same year Nebr a ska became a state. For 38 years it was the only teacher-training in s titution in Nebraska. For more than nine dec a des this College has been servin g the young people of the state a nd surroundin g states. During these 93 years, thousands of young people have crossed the. Campus of a Thousand Oaks and have g one forth to become teachers, advisors, and friends to countless millions of children throughout the length and breadth of this great country.,

The people of the State of Nebraska have made th~ 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 ~ntitled 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 g rowth in a controlled group a tmosphere. 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 colle g e 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 g raduates is lon g 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 g reat 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 re g ardin g your educational plans.

Sinc e rely yours,

Ne a l S. Gom on, 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 education 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 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 cilivian 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 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 Bachel'or 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 Educa~ tion of State Normal Schools authorized these colleges to grant the Master of Science in Education and Master of Arts in Education degrees.

Whenever the a bsences of a student reach the point of being detrimental to the stud e nt's s tanding 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 at which time it will be determined .whether or not the student will be allowed to continue in the class.

Instructors are under . no obligations 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 instructors of his illness or other emergency which prevent his attendance. No student is expected to attend classes when he is ill; particularly, if the illness is a communicable disease.

1 or F Failing-Below 60 %

X Incomplete

WP Authorized withdrawalpassing work at time

WF Authorized withdrawalfailing work at time

ACADEMIC INFORMATION

Students are urged to calculate their own GPA from time to time and realize their own status. The following two examples will be valuable in understanding the calculations:

GPA= 117---,-16 = 7.31

(This GPA at close of term rates distinction.)

*When credit is ungraded, it is not included in divisor for GPA

GPA= 37---,-15 = 2.47

(This GPA subjects the students to Probation.) ·

*This effects a lower GPA since credit value is part of divisor.

If WP the credit value is not used.

Incomplete (X) work may be completed and cleared through the instructor to earn a passing mark, and this must be done within the next semester of full-time enrollment or the record will show 1 or F (Failing).

SCHOLARSHIP STANDARDS

REPEAT COURSES

A student may and is urged to repeat any course in which he has failed. When such repeat course is p a ssed, the new r e cord cancels the first record and honor points are duly adjusted to affect the GPA. If a student's grade is below the minimum required in a course for . his field of concentration, he may repe a t the course and the hi g her grade with honor points will be used . There may also be occasions when a student chooses to repeat a course pur e ly for review, to be , taken on a n audit basi;;;, without a chan g e of g rade.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL DEGREES

Tota.I Hours. A candidate for a degree must earn 125 semester hours of course credits.

Upper- Level Credit. For the education de g rees the total must include 40 hours

PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION

of upper-level credit (300 and 400 series). All 400 courses with a suffix of G carry either graduate or undergraduate credit.

Grade Point Average. A minimum grade average of 4.00 is required for all undergraduate degrees.

Resident Credit. A student who has not been enrolled in on-campus classes within the ten years prior to application for graduation, must earn a minimum of nine hours of on-campus credit in order to qualify for a diploma or degree. The resident credit must be to the extent of 24 hours of the last 30 hours on the degree, and a corresponding proportion thereof as to a two-year diploma. By decision of the State Board of Education, this resident requirement may be waived in cases where any · of the required resident credit is earned in any one of the four Nebraska State Teachers Colleges.

Correspondence and Extensi'on Credit. Not more than one-fourth of the total requirements for a diploma or a degree may be satisfied through correspondence study and exten sion classes, and of this number the correspondence study alone cannot exceed one-eighth of the total hours. While study-center or off-campus classes are considered as extension classes, this colle g e will honor the same as equivalent to the campus evening classes for under-graduate credit and so carry resident credit if the classes are conducted by this college.

Fields of Concentration. Each candidate (except degrees in elementary education) must complete in addition to the general education requirements, two fields of concentration, one of 24 or more hours and another of 32 or more hours.

Application for Degrees.

PRE-PROFESSIONAL CURRICULUMS

Most professi :mal schools require for entrance two or more years of college credit in ·general education or basi~ 0 liberal arts courses which vary only slightly from one profession to anoth er. Since such work is required for the professional curriculums in training teachers, this College offers a variety of courses that serve as pre-professional education. Suggested among these are those for prospective doctors, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, veterinarians, lawyers, engineers, agriculturi s ts, foresters, morticians, business executives, journalists and others. It is almost impo s sible to list all of the many pre-professional curricula. This does not preclude the availability of other pre-professional courses at Peru State. A student followin g a pre-professional program is urged to secure a bulletin from the institution to which he intends to transfer in order that specific requirements will be met. The following are some pre-professional curriculums.

Pre-Agriculture

It should be remembered that there are various programs within agriculture, and therefore the program must be planned to meet later needs. Consult the catalog of the professional school you plan to attend to make certain you meet the pre-agriculture requirements . Grades of Jess than average will generally not transfer to p~ofessional scl;i:o ols

The Division of Education has as its major function the preparation of the best possible teachers for Nebraska elementary and secondary schools. Readiness to teach is conditioned by a variety of factors. One of the most important of these factors is provided by the other divisions of the College, i. e., mastery of the subject matter to be taught. Other important factors, although of interest to au divisions of the College, are primarily the responsibility of the Division of Education. Among these are :

1. Understanding of human growth and development.

2. A knowledge of the development of educational thought and practice in a democratic society.

3. Good mental health and rational behavior.

4. Awareness by the teacher candidate of his own problems, the way in which these problems affect his pupils, and how he can adapt his behavior to minimize the negative consequences of these problems.

5. Sensitivity to factors which influence learning.

6. Sufficient poise and self-confidence for classroom leadership.

7. Skill in cooperation.

8. Professional attitude.

9. Knowledge and ability to apply basic principles of learning in the classroom.
