STUDENTS ARE REQUESTED TO BRING THIS CATALOG WITH THEM TO THE CAMPUS FOR REFERENCE WHILE AT THE COLLEGE
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 94 years, fhousanos 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 perso{lal grow•h 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.HEADS

4. Provide the opportunity to develop a system of values, consistent with reality and truth, by which the student may know himself and his relationship to the world.
5. Emphasize that all endeavor is worthy of high scholarly achievement or proficiency.
The staff believes the following specific objectives should apply in the preparation of teachers in addition to other stated objectives:
1. Administer procedures for the admission and selection of those who wish to enter the Teacher Education Curriculum.
2. Provide opportunity to evaluate personal qualifications in terms of probable success in teaching.
3. Provide the opportunity to develop and improve desirable personal and social qualities necessary in social relationships in the classroom, the teaching prc.~f~s~ion and the community.

Peru State College is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education as a bachelor's degree granting institution . Full membership in the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (formerly the American Association of Teachers Colleges) has been maintained since 1918. The College has been a member of the American Council of Education since 1947 and is a charter member of the Nebraska Council on Teacher Education.
Seat of Nebraska's oldest institution of higher education is historic Pehl (population 1150) in the hills along the Missouri River in the southeast corner of the state. The picturesque Nemaha county town is 62 miles south of Omaha and 75 miles . southeast of Lincoln. Peru is served by Nebraska Highway 67 ·which intersects U.S. Highway 73 and 75 six miles west of the campus. Auburn, county seat of Nemaha County, is five miles south, and Nebraska City, Otoe county seat, is 15 miles , north of
the junction of these highways. The Campus of a Thousand Oaks is on approximately the same latitude as New York City and is about 150 miles east of the center of continental United States About 80 per cent of Peru's students come from Nebraska, with adjacent states well represented . Students from more distant, states are also enrolled at Peru.
Daily bus and train service to Omaha, Lincoln, Kansas City, Topeka, with connections in those cities to more distant points, is available at Auburn, 12 miles from Peru. Persons wanting transportation from Peru to Auburn can usually find rides with students and faculty members. Students arriving in Auburn at the opening of a semester or summer session may secure transportation by informing the Director of . Special Services in advance of arrival. College transportation will be provided to and from Auburn only at the beginning or end of a semester or summer session.
(It is advisable to check with train and bus depots for possible changes in time, since schedules are subject to change from time to time.)
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 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 names of the schools were changed from State Normal Schools to State Teachers Colleges. In 1963 the name was changed to Peru State College.
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.

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.

The College is supported by the state of Nebraska for the purpose of meeting the educational needs at the college level of the citizens of the state. Its chief purpose is to prepare men and women to serve in the elementary and secondary schools as teachers and for higher study in preparation as supervisors and administrators. The College also provides a general liberal education, pre-professional education or terminal vocational education .
The instructional programs of the College consist of seven interrelated divisional programs under the _captions of:
Division of Education
Division of Fine Arts
Division of Health and Physical Education
Division of History and SociaLScience
Division of Language Arts
Division of Practical Arts
Division of Science and Mathematics
To serve the students of the College with reference to the above programs, the courses offered under the several divisions are organized into curriculums, a term applied to a group of courses designed for an individual or for a group of individuals having a common purpose. The studies offered by the College include four-year professional curriculums in elementary education and in seconda:cy education; a four-year liberal arts program flexible enough to satisfy a variety of interests; and a number of one-year and two -year terminal and pre-professional curriculums.
In general, the various curriculums offered by the College consist partly of general education courses and partly of specialized courses. The general education cou~·ses are those set forth and required by all individuals for effective living, regardless of their vocations. The specialized courses are those that prepare specifically for teaching or other vocations, or satisfy special avocational or cultural interests.
Upon enrolling, a student chooses a vocational objective or a field of principal cultural interest. This determines the curriculum that he will follow and the counselor who will guide him in his educational experiences. The choice may be tentative and may be changed later.
Students who elect to change a field of concentration at a point beyond the sophomore year shoufd be 'aware of the probability of their graduation date being extended. Also, it may be necessary for the student to follow the requirements in the current bulletin rather than the one in effect at the time of matriculation.
It is imperative that Academic Progress forms be maintained to guide and record the student's progress toward his graduation. Two copies are to be maintained, one by the Registrar's , Office and the second by the student and his counselor. This is nec;essary ,for effective advisement, registration plus the mutual protection of the student and the college. The accuracy of each registration and the checking of all requirements is the final responsibiilty of the student.
In general, students will follow the graduation requirements as outlined in the catalog current at the time of matriculation. Students whose progress toward a degree has been irregular or interrupted to a point of five years or more since the date of matriculation will meet the requirements of graduation in the most recent catalog. · Students for whom a progress sheet has been made and who are making normal progress toward a degree will continue in their original catalog.
The College is authorized by law. and rules of the State Board of Education to issue the following degrees:
Bachelor of Arts in Education (A.B. in Educ.) This degree is given to candidates whose field of concentration is in one of the following divisions: Fine Arts, History and Social Science or Language •Arts.

The resident credit must be to the extent of 24 hours of the last 30 hours for a degree. 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 State Colleges.
Correspondence and Extension Credit. Not" lnore than one-fourth of the total requirements for a degree may be satisfied through correspondence study and extension classes, and of this number the correspondence study alone cannot exceed one-eighth of the total hours Study center or off-campus classes will be honored as resident credit if conducted by this College.
Fields of Concentration. Each candidate (except degrees in elementary education) must complete in addition to the general education requirements, twci fields of concentration, one of 24 or more hours and another of 32 or more hours.

The College recognizes its responsibility first, in tlhe selection of good prospective teaohers and second, in offering the best possible program in the preparation for teaching. Careful consideration is given to each applicant for admission to the teacher education curriculum on the basis of the traits and qualities generally considered necessary for successful teaching Only those students who appear to .possess these qualities are encoumged to -continue in teacher education. Very early in his college experience, the student is encouraged to evaluate his strengths and weaknesses through introspection and to follow a program of personal improvement.
1. All students who desire to be rec0mmended for a teacher's certificate must make application for admission to the teacher education curriculum.
2. All teacher candidates must apply for admission during the first quarter after 45 hours have been earned.
3. Transfer students of junior or senior standing must make appHcation for admission during the first month after matriculation .
4 Applications should be filed in the office of the Chairman, Committee on Selection and Retention in Teacher Education.
5. Each applicant for admission into teacher education curriculum will be evaluated as a prospective teacher. The evaluation of the candidate will be made in terms of health, emotional stability, intellectual vigor, personality and character traits.

Secondary school student teachers spend eight weeks full-time teaching high school classes. Student teaching is done both in the Campvs School and in approved offcampus schools.
in addition to all general and professional requirements, the student must oompl~te the requirements for two teaching fields. A minimum of twenty-four semester hours mus,t be earned in one teaching field and a minimum of thirty-two in ,a second field. Requirements in the various teaching fields are listed under the several divisions.

In addition to the general education and professional requirements, the student must earn at least twenty-four semester hours in one teaching field and thirty-two hours in a secsmd fi,eld. It is highly recommended that should a student choose one of the following; language arts, social science, science or mathematics ·as one' field that the companion field be selected on the basis of its applicability to the Block, Core or Integrated teaching program.
In addition to the general education and academic requirements, each candidate for a degree in elementary education mus.t complete a minimum of 27 semester hours, distributed •among four of the six academicdivisions. Including hours earned in general education and in prescribed academic courses, the candidate must earn a minimum of 15 semester hours in each of the four areas elected.

NEBRASKA TEACHER ' cERTIFICATION
Information regarding teaching certificates may be obtained in the Registrar's Office or from the Director of Teacher Certification, State Capitol, Lincoln 9, Nebraska.
According to Nebraska Teacher Certification laws, the College has the responsibility of recommending qualified persons for certificates. This responsibility has been delegated to tFie Administrative Council. The Council must p ass on each applicant's academic. and professional qualifications, his ch aracter and competence as a teacher. All applicants are hereby advised that by meeting graduation or shorter term scholastic requirements does not mean that one will be automatically recommended for certification.
In order to facilitate the action of the above committee, it is necessary that all applications be presented not less than three (3) weeks prior to the end of any term.
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 concentratio1;1 with a minimum of 24 and 32 semester hours respectively.
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 Colle.ge 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.
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.
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. ·
The following program of studies is designed to meet the above various requirements. Following the completion of three years at Peru and the successful completion of one year in an accredited law college, a student may be
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 prerequisite. 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 th e, Educational Testing Service at least one year before application is made.
The following program is sugg,~sted as prerequisite for entering a College of Mortuary Science.
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 program below, based OI\ two semesters and one summer, will meet the requirements to enter ' the University of Nebraska School of Nursing.
This program is based upon 60 hours of basic science and must include at least the following:
Restricted electives from the following areas: business, economics, English, fine arts, foreign languages, history, philosophy, psychology and speech. Examine the catalog of the college you expect to attend.
This program is in cooperation . with the Veterans Administration Center Hospital at Wadsworth, Kansas. Following graduation with a Bachelor of Science in Education degree with a field of concentration in Industrial Arts, the student spends ten weeks at the hospital for their affiliation with free board and room. Upon successful completion of the internship, the student would be eligible for G.S. 6 Civil Service rating. Details of the program may be obtained from the Head of the Division of Practical Arts.
Students who are unable to attend college four years or more and wish. to prepare for vocations requiring less 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 Tech• ,,. nology which are described below. A student interested in an occupation in the above classification should know the requirements of the particular pro-
fessional or te chnical school to which he will transfer. It will then be pos- f sible for a counselor to assist him in making a parallel program of the re. quired formal college courses.
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. These programs are described in detail in the Practical Arts instruction section of this Bulletin.
With the assistance of counselors, students may elect courses which will prepare them in one or two years for the following fields of work:

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.

1. Understanding of human growth and development.
2. A knowledge of the development of educational thought and prac• tice 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.
