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 Neb.raska , For nearly a century, this College has been serving the young ~ople . qf the state and surrounding states. During these 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.

LOCATION

Seat of Nebraska's oldest institution of higher education is historic Peru (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 mil ~s 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 repres ented. Students from more distant states are also enrolled at Peru .

TRANSPORTATION

Daily bus 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. Taxi service is also available through the Auburn Hotel.

HISTORY

The same year Nebraska became a state, the new state legislature provided for the establishment of a training school for teachers or normal

17-

GENERAL INFORMATION

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 actua lly dates back to December 2, 1865, when its predecessor institution, Mount Vernon College, was organized by a group of1 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 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 degr ee requirements at Peru or other institutions of higher learning throughout the nation.

In 1949, the legislature authorized the Nebraska State Colleges to confer the Bachelor of Arts degree. The Bachelor of Science degree was authorized in 1965.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION

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 by the State. ·

To be assured of the privilege of making up work missed, the student should confer with the instructor prior to the absence in instances other than emergencies. 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 prevents his attendance. If a student is ill, he should report to the Student Health Service where the College physician and/or nurse will make recommendations. In cases where absences of more than two days are anticipated, the Health Service will call the Dean of Students so that professors may be notified of the student's illness. When the student returns to his class he is responsible for reporting to his professor concerning his illness and requesting make-up work .

Whenever the absences of a student reach the point of being detrimental (regardless of cause) to the student's standing in a class, the instructor will advise the Dean of Students in writing. A conference will be held with the instructor and the student at which time it will be jointly determined whether or not the student will be allowed to continue in class.

RESIDENT ATTENDANCE

CREDIT BY EXAMINATION

Students, who by reason of experience and/or personal improvement, may qualify for credit in lower division courses through the procedure of an interview and a written examination.

·PROGRAM OF INST'RUCT'ION

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, culminating in a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree.

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 curricula, 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 curricula in elementary education and in secondary education; a four -year liberal arts program; a bachelor of science program flexible enough to satisfy a variety of interests and objectives; and a number of one-year and two-year terminal and pre-professional curricula.

In general, the various curricula offered by the College consist partly of general education courses and partly of specialized courses. The general education courses 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 desire special assjstance in selecting a vocational goal may request vocational counseling from the Office of Guidance and Counseling. This office maintains a complete laboratory of aptitude, interest and ability tests which may be administered to a student. Students may find the interpretation of the results of these tests extremely valuable in making a vocational choice.

PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION

Students who are undecided in regard to a vocational and/ or educational goal may register in a general category. These students are urged to use the Guidance and Counseling services during the first semester to assist in the above decisions.

CHANGE IN FIELD OF CONCENTRATION

Students who elect to change a field of 'concentration at a point beyond the sophomore year should 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.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE

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 necessary for effective advisement, registration , plus the mutual protection of the student and the college. The accuracy of each registration and the checking of all require· ments are the final responsibility of the student.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

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 bulletin Students for whom a progress sheet has been made and who are making normal progress toward a degree will continue in their original bulletin.

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, en gineering, 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.
