Cover design by Leland Sherwood, 1957.

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 nearly a century , this College has been serving the young people of 0 the state and surrounding states. During these years, thousands of young people have crossed tJhe 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.

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

GENERAL INFORMATION

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.

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 .

Nebraska 's first College has been guided through the years by these presidents:

1867-1871-J. M . McKenzie

P·ROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION

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 anp women to serve in the elementary and secondary schools as teachers and for higher study in preparation as supervisors and administrators.

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 Social Science

Division of Language Arts

Division of Practical Arts

Division of Science and Mathematics

SELECTION OF PROGRAM OF STUDIES

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 secondary 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, Llie 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.
