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 more than a century thousands of young people have crossed the Campus of a Thousand Oaks and have gone fdrth to become teachers, advisors and friends to countless hundreds ·. of thousands of children throughout Nebraska and the nation.

The people of Nebraska have made the facilities of this College available to you at a minimum of personal cost. The taxpayers of the state bear a major portion of the cost of your college

education exclusive of personal expenses.

Continuing pressures of society have placed a heavy burden upon colleges and universities . Public institutions, such as Peru State, generally have an "open door" admission policy i.e., admit graduates of accredited high schools without special entrance examinations. Peru State believes every young person is entitled to a chance to succeed at the collegiate level, however, this entitlement does not include continuation beyond a reasonable time to the detriment of the student, his peers or the college program We believe a young person of average or above ability coupled with willingnesr; and work has an excellent opportunity for success at Peru State.

This college believes in academic excellence, in opportunities for personal growth in a controlled group atmosphere and in selfdetermination consistent with the principles of a democraticallyorganized society. The administration recognizes freedom of dissent but not disruption. We believe the great majority of students attend Peru State because of an intense desire to learn and become productive citizens in a diverse society. All students are fully informed of what they may expect from the college and what is expected of them. Those not willing to accept these expectations should seek the services of other institutions possibly less demanding.

Peru State students have an opportunity to know their teachers well and to become working partners with the staff and other students. To live with other young people in college residences offers many opportunities for friendship and growth for which living at home is no complete substitute. •

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. Gamon, 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. A~ that time only two other such institutions existed west of the Missburi 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 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 sarrie 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.

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.

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

1867-1871- J. M. McKenzie

LIBRARY. One of the first established in Nebraska, the College Library is centrally located on the College Campus. During the 1961-62 academic year, this facility was completely renovated at a cost of $157,000 which provides the college with an up-to-date library.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT PERU ST ATE COLLEGE

The purpose of financial assistance is to provide students with sufficient funds to meet all costs of obtaining a college education beyond what they and their parents are able to provide. Thus, financial aid enables many students from low and middle income families to attend college who could not otherwise afford that opportunity.

Any assistance granted is awarded according to the financial need of the applicant. (Financial need is the difference between the money a student and his parents can provide for an education and the costs of that education.) To be considered for assistance, the applicant must demonstrate financial need.

In all cases, parents and student are expected to make a maximum financial contribution to the education of the applicant.

Financial assistance to qualified applicants is available in the form of loans, grants, scholarships, and college-work. A student who qualifies for one program of financial aid may not necessarily qualify for another.

"Financial packaging" permits the Financial Aids Officer to tailor a program of financial assistance to meet the monetary needs of the individual student for one academic year. A financial package is worked out on the basis of a careful estimate of the applicant's estimated resources and educational costs for the school year.

A package usually consists of two or more types of aid and is equal to the student's financial need. A typical package, in which the need is $1000 might be as follows: Educational Opportunity Grant, $500; National Defense Loan, $350; and scholarship, $150.

Funds for the operation of the different financial aid programs are drawn from Federal and Institutional sources.

STATE VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION AID

Through the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation individuals with physical disabilities which constitute vocational handicaps are eligible for financial assistance in meeting costs of tuition plus

certain other financial help, depending upon the extent of their financial need.

.

Students interested in receiving thi~ aid should contact the Director of Student Financial Aids ·for ·additional information.

FEDERALLY FUNDED PROGRAMS

Educational Opportunity Grants provide for the g1vmg of grants, or gifts, of money to students who are determined to be of exceptional financial need. Students in this category will be of such need that they will be unable to attend college without financial aid of this type.

The EOG grants will range from $200 to $1000 a year, and can be no more than one -half the tot al assistance given a student. The grant is "matched" with other financial aid to equal the total of the student's financial need. Grants are awarded on a yearly basis with the maximum duration of a grant being four years.

College Work-Study is intended primarily for students from low-income families and permits •them to earn a substantial part of their expenses in order to attend college. During the time they are attending classes full time, the student can work a maximum of fifteen hours per week. During vacation periods the students may be allowed to work forty hours per week. Work-Study jobs are usually on-campus or for the City of Peru and are vital to the efficient operation of both the College and the City. College WorkStudy jobs are often used for matching purposes with a student's EOG grant.

National Defense Student Loans are made to students who need financial assistance in meeting educational expenses. To be eligible, the student must be in good standing and be registered as a full-time student. Special consideration is given to those entering the teaching profession, or who are majoring in science, mathematics, engineering or modern foreign languages. NDSL loans are also commonly used for matching purposes with an EOG.

Federally Insured Student Loans are intended primarily for students who do not qualify for the other programs of financial assistance but who, nonetheless, need financial help. Any student, regardless of his parent's income, qualifies for the Federally Insured Loan program.

INSTITUTIONALLY FUNDED PROGRAMS

College Work jobs are similar to the Work-Study jobs in pay scale, type of work performed, and hours worked.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

College Loan Fund loans are generally made on a short-term basis to students enrolled in the College, who are planning to teach, and are in need of financial assistance. The College Loan Fund was established by the class of 1913 with an initial gift of $50. The fund has since been increased to nearly $7000, with gifts by the Nebraska P. E. 0. in 1929, the Anna Irwin Memorial provided by the Peru Branch of the American Association of University Women, gifts by graduating classes, and interest accumulations. Memorial Loan Funds established by various donors include: the $200 Willie Ethel Crone Loan l<~und, established in 1943 by Miss Ruth Crone in memory of her mother; the $300 Harriet Louise Lindstrom Loan Fund, established in 1946 by the late C. R. Lindstrom and Mrs. Lindstrom in memory of their daughter; the Mrs. Eva Fischer Loan Fund provid~d in 1962 by a $500 bequest by the late Mrs. Eva Fischer of Beatrice; the Towne Loan Fund provided by a $1,411.24 bequest by the late Norman L. Towne of Bozeman, Mont ., husband of the late Lola Howe Towne, class of 1906; the $250 Patricia Buethe Loan Fund, established in 1962 by friends of the late Mrs. L. Chris Buethe.

Although there is some variation in the specific requirements for these loans , the general qllalifications are the same as for the College Loan Fund: (1) be a student in the College (2) plan to teach (3) be in need of financial assi stance. Loans from the College Loan Fund and Memorial Loan Fund are generally made on a short-term basis.

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 hi g her study in preparation as supervisors and administrators.

Division of Education

Division of Fine Arts

Divi s ion of Health and Physical Education

Division of Hi sto ry and Social Science

Division of Language Arts

Division of Pract ical Arts

Divi s ion of Science a nd Mathematics

SELECTION OF PROGRAM OF STUDIES

To serve the students of the College with reference to the above programs, the co ur ses offered under the several divisions are organized into c u rricu la, a t erm applied to a group of courses design ed for an individual or for a gro up of individuals having a common purpose. The studies offered by the College include fouryear professional curricul a in elementary education and in secondary education; a fo ur- year liberal arts program; a bachelor of scie n ce program flexible e nou g h to satisfy a variety of interests and objec tiv es; and a numb er bf one-year and two-year terminal and pre-professional cur r icula .

In ge neral, 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 teachin g or other vocations, or satisfy special avocational or cultural interests.

Upon enrolling, a student chooses a vocational objective or a field of principal cultural- intetest . This determines the curriculum that he will follow and fae advisor who will guide him in his educational experiences. The choice may be tentative and may be changed later. Students who desire special assistance in selecting a vocational goal may request vocational counseling from the Offi ce of The Director of 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 vaJuable in making a vocational choice. ' ' ·

PRE-PROFESSIONAL CURRICULA

Most professional schools require for entrance two or more years of college credit in ge n eral education or basic liberal arts courses which vary only slightly from one profession to another. Since such work is required for the professional curr icu la in training teacher s, this Co ll ege offers a var ie ty of courses that serv e as pre-professional education. Suggested among these are those for prospective doctors, de ntists, pharmacists, optometrists, nurs es, veterinarians, law yers, eng ineers, agriculturists, foresters, mortici a ns, business executives, journalists and others. It is almost impossible to list all of the many pre-professiona l curr icu l a. Thi s do es not preclude the availability of other preprofessional courses at Peru State A student following a pre-professional progra m 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-profe ss ional cur r icula. ,

The following program is suggested for the first sixty hours:

PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION

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 oth rs require only two years for admission.

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 the Educational Testing Service at least one year before application is made.
