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 estab-

lished 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 94 years, thousands of young people have crossed the Campus of a Thousand Oaks and have gone 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 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 anywp.ere. 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 are 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 sohool became a normal sohool, 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. At the same time the names of the schools were changed from State Normal Schools to State Teachers Colleges .

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 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 higli.er 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 . .

DEPARTMENTAL ASSISTANTS

Departmental Assistants are positions open to students in their field of concentration. Generally these positions are intended for students who will enter graduate study di~ectly upon graduation from Peru.

As an Assistant, the student assists with preparation, administration and evaluation of tests in lower division classes; and assists with various other classroom activities.

The position of Departmental Assistant carries no hours of credit. However, the experience is recognized by being placed upon the student's permanent record.

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 by a considerable investment of 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 at 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 rea~on 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 iH.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION

EXCUSES

The Dean of Students handles class and convocation attendance records, issuing excused or unexcused absences as policies dictate.

CONVOCATIONS

Convocation is held approximately 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 student's college life. The programs are educational, informative, and serve to promote spirit, loyalty, and increase the student's acquaintance in the college community. It is for these reasons that attendance is required.

RESIDENT ATTENDANCE

A minimum of 30 hours of resident credit earned in the College is required for the issuance of a degree. Twenty-four of the last 30 hours of work for a ·degree must be earned in residence at the College.

GRADING SYSTEM

Grades permitting credit:

Marking to designate failure and other irregularities:

1 or F X WP WF

Failing-Below 60 % Incomplete

Authorized withdrawalpassing work at time

Authorized withdrawalfailing work at time

The grades in numbers 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 scholarship standards. 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:

*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 instn,ictor 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

The Personnel and Scholarship Committee follows the educational prbgress of all students, provides assistance and encouragement, and makes recommendations on the dispo sition 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 poinLaverage 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 less than 3.50 at the end of any semester are likewise placed on scholastic probation .

. Probation is removed if the student achieves the minimum GPA at the close of the semester. Failure to meet this . minimum GPA will cause the student to be suspended for one semester or for an indefinite period. A student having been suspended must apply for readmission and must meet the conditions as described by the Personnel and Scholarship Committee. When a student is readmitted after a period of suspension, he must show satisfactory progress or the next suspension becomes permanent.

A transfer student who was suspended from the college last attended will not be admitted until ohe semester has passed. When admitted, the student will be on probation fop one semester. A transfer student under probation from the previous college will likewise be admitted on probation for one semester. In both cases, the maximum load will be fifteen semester hours. The conditions for the removal of the probation are the same as those which apply to all other students.

Graduation.. To qualify for graduation, the student's cumulative record on all graded hours in the College must show a GPA of 4.00 or higher. As to the student's fields of concentration approved for the degree, he must have a GPA of 5 .00 on each field of concentration with no grade below 4.00.

CREDIT BY EXAMINATION

Students, who by reason of experience and/or personal improvement, may qualify for credit in courses through the procedure of an · interview and a written examination. The student must, through an interview, satisfy a faculty committee that he has had a formal or informal experience whereby the course content may have been acquired . If the committee feels the above conditions have been met, the student will be given a written comprehensive examination . ·

The amount of credit to !be allowed; the course for which substitution, if any, is made; and the particular graduation requirements which may be satisfied will be determined by the division head and his committee and will be subject to all general graduation requirements.

The student must register for the course and pay the tuition charges before writing the examinations.

REPEAT COURSES

A student may and is urged to repeat any course in which he has failed. When such repeat course is passed, the new record cancels the first record and honor points are duly adjusted to affect the GP A. If a student's grade is below the minimum required in a course for his field of concentration, he may repeat the course and the higher grade with honor points will be used . There may also be occasions when a student chooses to repeat a course purely for review, to be taken on an audit basis, without a change of grade.

HONORS COURSES

·A limited number of honors courses are available for those students who meet the scholastic requirements. Further details may be obtained from the respective division·heads.

After the first five days of classes a fee of $2 00 must be paid in connection with the change. Adding a new class is not permitted after two weeks of classes and in cases of withdrawal after this time, the student's record will show either WP (withdrew passing) or WF (withdrew failing). Unless a student clears officially for each course dropped , his record will show F , failure in the course .

WITHDRAWAL FROM COLLEGE

If it is necessary for a student to withdraw from college, he secures the appropriate form from the Registrar's Office.

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.
