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 te~cher-training institution in Nebraska. For more than nine decades this College has been serving the young people of the state and surrounding states. During thes~ 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 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 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 timt 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 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. At the same time the n ames 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 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 .

The Bachelor of Arts degree is conferred on candidates following a four year curriculum in liberal arts without regard to the field of concentration. Candidates must complete the general education requirements plus two fields of concentration with a minimum of 24 and 32 semester hours respectively.

PRE-PROFESSIONAL CURRICULUMS

Most professional schools require for entrance two or more years of college credit in general education or basic liberal arts courses which vary only slightly from one profession to another. 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, agriculturists, foresters, morticians, business executives, journalists and- others. It is almost impossible to list all of the many pre-professional curriculums. This does not preclude the availability of other pre-professional courses at Peru State. A student following 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 less than average will generally not transfer to professional schools. The following pro.gram is suggested for the first sixty hours

The requirements for different forestry schools vary. Early in the preforestry program the student should consult the catalog of the College he plans to attend later. Grades of below average will probably not transfer. The plan below is quite general.

Students interested in the study of law should examine carefully the requirements for admission into the law college to which they expect to transfer. Some law colleges require the baccalaureate degree for admission, some require three years of general college, and others require only two years for admission.

PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION

The following program of studies is designed to meet the above various requirements . Following the completion of three years at Peru and the successful e-0mpletion of one year in an accredited law college, a student may be awarded the A.B. degree

The pre-medical student should plan to become a candidate for the liberal arts degree with a ,general science major . He is also advised to sample all the humanities and obtain a well rounded program. Only superior students may hope to be accepted by medical schools. Personality and reputation are important factors which may be more significant than merely meeting minimum requirements . Few candidates are accepted without the A.B. degree. What is said regarding pre-medicine is also true with pre-dental programs except that the A.B. degree at present is not an absolute prer equisite Below is a suggested program for both programs, but the student is advised to secure a catalog from the professional school he expects to attend, as individual schools vary in requirements. Admission tests are required of all applicants, and are administered by the Educational Testing Service at least one year before application is made.

The following program lege of Mortuary Science. is suggested as prerequisite for entering a Col-

P.re-Nursing

Some Colleges of Nursing require two years (60 semester hours) of prenursing, others require less. Students following a pre-nursing curriculum should know the requirements of the particular School of Nursing to which they will transfer. The pro gram below, based on two semesters and one summer , will meet the requirements to enter the University of Nebraska School

PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION

Students who are unable to ~+tend college four years or more and wish to prepare for vocations requirin ;.; ,ess time in preparation will find a variety .of educational opportunities in this College. There are increasing opportunities today for young people in the occupational area classified as semiprofessional. Examples of these are Medical Technology and X-Ray Technology which are described below. A student interested in an occupation in the above classification should know the requirements of the particular professional or technical school to which he will transfer. It will then be pos• sible for a counselor to assist him in making a: parallel program of the required formal college courses.

Medical Technology

To qualify for admission to a College of Technology, students are required to earn 60 semester hours of college credit. The program for the first two years as outlined below meets the above requirement. Also, a student may wish to .qualify for a degree in which case he should follow the suggested program for the third year. This, however, should be approved and cleared with the Registrar before following a degree program.

The following course is recommended for students who may wish to be X-Ray Technicians and also earn a Bachelor of Science degree. Upon completion of the program suggested below, the student may transfer to a College of Radiology.

Students who are interested in a secretarial position may follow either the one or the two year program below. These courses are evaluated in terms of college credit and have the advantage of being applicable toward a degree which the student may wish to earn at a later time.

In addition to the above, the following program gives the student a more complete preparation with the subsequent advantage of a more desirable position.

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 preparin g 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.
