STUDENT LIFE AT INDIANA
Five
Hii^ory oi flie College
The plan of this Institution was conceived in the sixties, the first
money, some twenty thousand dollars, being subscribed for its founding in
ibUi). The first recognition by the State was through an act of the Gen-
eral Assembly in 1871, but the school was not opened until May 17, 1875.
Its first Principal was Dr. E. B. Fairfield, who afterwards, as the first
Chancellor of the University of Nebraska, so largely influenced the future
of that institution.
Among the notable men present upon the opening of the school was
one of Pennsylvania's most famous educators, then State Superintendent
of Public Instruction, James P. Wickersham, who stated in his public ad-
dress that it was his opinion that Indiana's first building was the largest,
finest and best-planned structure devoted to normal school education in
the United States. A monument to its founders, that building still stands
and, in honor of the first President of the Board of Trustees, it is known as
John Sutton Hall.
In 1893, there was erected upon our campus a brick residence for men
students. In February, 190C, this building was burned to the ground.
There were excellent fire escapes, so not only were no lives lost, but there
were no serious injuries. The ruins were not cold before the Trustees were
planning for a larger and better dormitory. The building stands upon the
site of the old one, but is somev^^hat larger, and is known as Clark Hall, in
honor of the Board's second President, the late Justice Silas M. Clark of
the Supreme Bench.
In 1893, also, the Board erected, to the northward of the main building,
the Model or Training School, and named it, in honor of their third Presi-
dent, the A. W. Wilson Hall. This building contains eight large, airy class-
rooms, with ample playrooms in the basement for use on stormy days.
The year 1903 marked a strong advance in Indiana's material equip-
ment. The Normal's Recitation Hall was then erected. It stands just to
the southward of Wilson Hall, completing the east wing of the quadrangle.
The dimensions are a frontage of one hundred and thirty feet and a depth
of one hundred and twenty-three. The building is the main recitation hall
of the College and contains twenty-four large, beautiful rooms. The Trus-
tees honored themselves by naming this building after one of their widely
known and most faithful teachers, Jane E. Leonard.
During that same year (1903) there was erected to the westward of
the south wing of John Sutton Hall another most beautiful and imposing
structure, one hundred and twenty-three by ninety-two feet in size and
three stories high. In the basement of this building is the laundry and
storage, while on the first floor are the kitchens, dining-rooms, and the
Steward's office; the Music Conservatory occupies the second and third
stories. This building is known as Thomas Sutton Hall, in honor of the
President of the Board of Trustees.
During the following few years something more than $60,000 was spent
in improving the Institution's plant, the most noteworthy improvement be-
ing the erection of a cold storage plant in connection with the kitchen. It
enables the school to manufacture its own ice, and to furnish its students
at all times ^vith the choicest fresh meats.
During the year 1910 two notable additions to our buildings were made
— an annex to the dining hall, seating over two hundred, and an annex to
the girls' dormitory, accommodating sixty-two girls. This building is prac-
tically fire-proof and no dormitory affords its occupants better rooms for
the prices charged.
Seven
STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE, INDIANA, PENNSYLVANIA
During the year 1913 the Trustees bought land off the campus and
across the P. R. R., and erected a Power Plant at a cost of $140,000.00.
This Plant has since become inadequate and a new Power Plant was com-
pleted in 1927 which is one of the best equipped plants in the Common-
wealth. It pro\'ides all heat and light and furnishes power for the ele-
vators, ventilating fans, and culinary machinery.
During the year 1914 the Ambulatory around Recreation Hall was built
and the Hall itself entirely reconstructed. The "North Annex" to the girls'
dormitory was built, pro\Tding rooms for seventy girls. The rooms in
this annex ax'e larger than those in the old dormitory, and they are better
furnished than any other of our rooms; each girl has her o\\-n bed, her
own desk, and her own study-light. An addition nearly doubling the capaci-
ty of the kitchen was built, and more than S3,000 worth of new kitchen
appliances were added.
During the year 1915 an addition was built, that doubled the capacity
of the "North Annex." The rooms in the new part are better, however
than those in the part first constructed. In addition to the advantages
thus afforded, each room opens into a private dressing room with lavatory
supplied ^^-ith hot and cold water. The entire first floor of the addition to
the "North Annex," 101 feet in length, is now occupied by the library.
From time to time additions have been built to our dining-room. Those
who have seen many schools announce their opinion that ours is the finest
school dining-room in America.
In April, 1920, entire control and ownership of the school passed to
the Commonv.-ealth of Pennsylvania. The most notable additions to the
physical plant since the school became the property of the State have been
the Power Plant, already mentioned, the Physical Education Building, dedi-
cated on May 12, 1928, and the beautiful Arts Building, first occupied in
January, 1931. This building houses the Art, Business, and Home
Economics Department, one entire floor being given to each department.
Many experts have declared that these three departments are the best
equipped in the State.
L/ocation
The Institution is fortunate in its location, the site being one of great
natural beauty, while the surrounding to^^^l is characteristically beautiful
and has developed those moral influences so desirable in the seat of an in-
stitution of learning. The to^\-n has a population of more than 10,000 and
maintains churches of the follo\\-ing denominations: Methodist Episcopal,
Free Methodist, Episcopal, Presbj-terian, United Presb>i:erian, Catholic,
Lutheran, Baptist, Wesleyan Methodist, German Lutheran, and Christian.
Grov.i:h and improvement have especially marked Indiana in the past few
years and bid fair to continue.
The place is reached by rail without difficulty, being the northern ter-
minus of the "Indiana Branch" of the Pennsylvania, the change from the
main line being made at Torrance. The Indiana Branch connects at Blairs-
\ille with the West Pennsylvania Division. Indiana is also on the Balti-
more and Oliio, vrhich gives connections with all northern points. The
College is within ten minutes v.-alk of either depot. The Pennsylvania
stops all trains at the "Campus Landing" on the first day of each semes-
ter. Both the raihvays put on extra coaches at the opening of each semes-

STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE, INDIANA, PENNSYLVANIA
ter in order to accommodate all, if possible, with seats. Indiana can he
reached from any point in Western Pennsylvania in eight hours. It is
also accessible from all main highways by excellent cement roads.
The school owns 34 acres of land of which 23 acres are in its campus.
Its natural beauty is g-reatly enhanced by the constant care of a gardener.
It is the belief of the Institution's authoritiies that such surrounding's are
a potent factor in the upbuilding of the student's character.
Buildings and Eq\ii{)ment
The original building, John Sutton Hall, has been in use since 1875.
Additions have been made until this one building mow houses five hundred
twenty girls, a number of teachers, the offices, supply room, library, recre-
ation iiail, and auditorium. Thomas Sutton Hall, connected with John Sut-
ton Hall, houses the laundry, bake shop, kitchen, dining room, and conserva-
tory of music. Clark Hall is another dormitory for girls and is located a
short distance from Thomas Sutton Hall. On adjacent streets are eigh-
teen residences that are used for students.
Jane Leonard Hall contains the .Science Laboratories, several class
rooms, and the campus training school of the Junior High School.
Wilson Hall houses the Campus Training School, grades one to six.
A cooperative arrangement for student teaching in the public schools of
Indiana has existed for a number of years. Student teaching is also
done to a limited extent under cooperative arrangements in Johnstown,
Altoona, Kittanning, Punxsutav/ney, Latrobe, and Blairsville.
There is a library with about 18,000 usable volumes. Magazines and
newspapers are available. Every student is given instruction in the use
of the library.
There are adequate laboratories for all types of science work, art,
home economics, and commercial subjects. New laboratories have been
added for bacteriology, biology, chemistry, nature study, and physics.
There is a well equipped infirmary in charge of twio trained nurses. A
residence serves as an isolation hospital for contagious diseases.
The dining-room, kitchen, and bake shop provide food for more than
1,000 persons. The laundry is of equal capacity.
The Physical Education Building contains two gymnasiums, a
swimming pool, and other faciUties for health instruction and recreation.
The new power plant is one of the best in the State and is equal to
all demands for heat, light, and power.
The new arts building is occupied by the Home Economics Depart-
ment, Art Department, and Business Department. Each one of these
Departments occupies an entire floor. The building was planned with the
specific work of each of these departments in mind. It is a modern, fire-
proof structure. It has served to relieve the congestion in Jane Leonard
Hall, and has made possible some very needed improvements in that
building.

Student Life at Indiana
LIVING
The State Teachers College is primarily a donnitory school. It admits
as Day Students, only those who live with parents or near relatives. The
school has rooms for 700 young women,
Studeyits whose homes are not in Indiana and tvho desire to live ivith
relatives in Indiana as Day Students must have the approval of the Presi-
dent in advance of registration. Under no circumstances are students per-
■juiited to room or board with private families, not immediate relatives.
Young men students who are not Day Students room at private homes
in rooms rented by the school, or in fraternity houses and take their meals
in the college dining room.
LAUNDRY
The laundry of all Boarding Students — to the extent of ten plain pieces
per week, plus towels and napkins — is done in the college laundry. All
pieces sent to the laundry must be plainly marked with the owner's name.
Name tapes sewed on articles of clothing constitute the best identification.
A laundry bag should be owTied and used by every student.
An excellent laundry and ironing room with up-to-date equipment is
maintained in the basement of John Sutton Hall for the free use of women
students.
SUPPLIED BY STUDENTS
All students who live in school dormitories and all students who are
assigned to rooms at private homes must provide themselves with blankets
and comforts as the college and house mothers furnish only the linen and
counterpanes. Such students must also provide window curtains, soap,
towels, and needful toilet articles.
All students who take meals in the college dining room should bring
with them an adequate supply of table napkins.

VACATION CHARGES
Students remaining at the school during the Thanksgiving, Christmas,
Easter or Summer Recess will be charged at the transient rates.
GUESTS
Student and teachers are responsible for meals of their guests at cur-
rent transient rates. All visitors staying in the college buildings over night
must be registered with the Dean of Women by the person or persons en-
tertaining them. This privilege applies only to young women of school age.
Students may accompany mothers or older relatives to the hotel for meals
or over night, arrangements having been made in advance with the Dean of
Women. The buildings are closed to guests at 11 P. M.
HOW ROOMS ARE ASSIGNED
Students in school at the close of any school year have rooms as-
signed to them as follows: if girls desire to keep the rooms they have, these
rooms are assigned to them. At a meeting the remaining rooms are put up
in order of desirability. If two or more groups of girls desire the same
room the groups draw lots for it. This process continues until all girls
in school are assigned to rooms for the following year.
Entering stadents are assigned to rooms in the order in which their
applications are received and as nearly in accordance with their preference
as is posible.
HOW TO SECURE ROOM ASSIGNMENT
All entering boarding students are required to pay $10.00 in advance
for the reservation of a room. This is due when the Application and Person-
nel Record is made out. (This will be sent on request to any prospectivo
student). This amount is credited on the following semester's enrollment
and service fee. Students in school at the end of any year who reserve
rooms for the following year must pay the Room Reservation Deposit by
July 1st or their assignment to a room is cancelled and they take their
place on the list of entering students. Students are not permitted to room
alone except as indicated on page 11.
Advance Reservation Deposits will be returned to students pro\ndcd
they notify the college three weeks before the opening of the semester of
their intentions not to attend.
Rooms are not held for students beyond the first day of the semester
or term unless arrangements have previously been made.
DISCIPLINE
The Teachers College exists for the purpose of preparing young people
for the ^x)cation of public school teaching. The Commonwealth has by law
declared the State Teachers College a part of the public school system.
The foregoing purpose determines the organization and administration
of the College. The Institution aims to be formative rather than reforma-
tive. There is work for students to do. There is also recreation for them.
"Good work well done" ought to be the student's ideal. The Common-
wealth does not want laggards or incompetents in its public schools as
teachers. The teacher inevitably has influence. Therefore, the moral fibre
of the prospective teacher is all important. It is the policy of the Institu-

Hon to osk the withdrawal of students whose conduct is not exemplary,
who have demonstrated their inability to do the class -rvork of the Teachers
College, or who have shown weakness in student teaching.
DORMITORY REGULATIONS
There are inevitably many regulations that pertain to the dormitory
life of students. These are too numerous and complicated to be published
in a catalog'. They are fully explained to students at the college. The
authorities feel that there is not a single unreasonable regulation regarding
dormitory' life. If there be one, the authorities will gladly change it.
RELIGIOUS INFLUENCES
This college is not denominational in any sense. Its authorities, how-
ever, aim to make it a place of positive Christian influence. To this end,
students are expected to attend the church of their own choice on Sunday
mornings.
The Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. aid in the religious culture of all
students in the Institution. Endeavor is made to promote Sabbath observ-
ance. Students are thus encouraged to become Christian workers, and
school life is made to minister to the elevation of Christian life. Besides
these associations, there are various others of a practical type and in a
liighly prosperous condition. The demonimations that maintain churches
in Indiana have already been mentioned. There is a Vesper Service each
Sunday evening which all boarding students attend. A fine recreational
room has been set apart for the boys under the control of the Y, ^L C. A.
THE LECTURE COURSE
The Institution maintains an excellent free lecture course for its stu-
dent body. On this course is always to be found the best obtainable talent.
During the past season our students had the pri^•ilege of hearing, among
others: Dr. Edward Howard Griggs, Ralph Parlette, and Doctor H. I.
Jones.
Stuaent Organizations
LEONARD LITERARY SOCIETY
The Literary Society has a membership of nine hundred students.
The meetings are held every Monday evening at seven o'clock in the
College Auditorium. Interest in these meetings is stimulated in one
way only; through excellence of programs. Many one-act plays are pre-
sented by the members. The greatest possible number of students par-
ticipate in these and other performances so that skill and originality in
program building as well as ease in public appearances may be developed.
A small annual fee is charged each member, which makes it possible
to present each year some of the best professional literarj- talent. This
talent has recently included the English j>oet, Alfred Noyes; the inter-
nationally applauded. Ruth Draper, in her famous character sketches;
Charles Rann Kennedy, pla\-wright and actor, and Edith Wj-nn Matthison,
a Shakespearean star; the artistic reader of ballads, Sydney Thompson;
Phidelah Rice, and Henry L. Southwick; Mr. E. H. Southern: Tony Sarg's
Marionettes; Cornelia Otis Skinner; Admiral Richard E. Byrd; Carola
Goya; George Russell; the Abbey Players of Dublin, the Jean Gros'
French Marionettes, and Upton Close.
THE MIXED CHORUS
This is an A Capella chorus composed largely of experienced voices.
Its repertory of recognized value is selected to fill the need in teacher
preparation as well as for the artistic growth of the individual.

FRATERNITIES
Five national fraternities of professional character now have chapters
at Indiana. The Phi Alpha Zeta Fraternity was organized as a national
educational and social fraternity June 4, 1927. Alpha Chapter had been
active on the campus as a local organization since 1908. A chapter of
Phi Sigma Pi, a national educational fraternity, was established at Indiana
April SO, 1920. It took the place of the Omega Chi Fraternity, a local
organization founded in 1909. The Alpha Chapter is at Kirksville, Mis-
souri. Pi Chapter of Sigma Tan Gamma, a national educational and social
fraternity, was established on November 8, 1930. The Alpha Chapter is
at Warrensburg, Missouri.
In 1928, a chapter of Alpha Phi Gamma, a national honorary joui'nal-
istic fraternity, was established on the campus. Its purpose is, "To unite
in a congenial group, students who are interested in the higher forms of
journalism." Membership is open only to those who have served on the
staffs of college publications and who maintain a high scholastic standing.
The Beta Gamma Chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, an educational honor fra-
ternity open to both men and women, was inaugurated in 1928. Only
Juniors and Seniors of high scholastic attainments are considered for mem-
bership.
SORORITIES
Five national professional educational sororities have chapters on the
campus: Alpha Sigma Alpha, Sigma Sigma Sigma, Delta Sigma Epsilon,
Alpha Sigma Tau, and Pi Kappa Sigma. Only students who have com-
pleted sixteen semester hours of work with a "C" grade average and no
failures are eligible for membership. The sorority life offers opportunities
for the growth of congenial friendships and the fostering of the highest
ideals for womanhood. Broadening contacts are furnished through associa-

OTHER ORGANIZATIONS
In addition to the activities listed above the following regular organi-
zations have been approved and function very actively throughout the year
on the campus: Alpha Omega Geographers Club, Art Club, Elementary
Degree Club, Home Economics Club, Intermediate Club, Junior Chamber
of Commerce, Junior-Senior High School Club, Lincoln Debating Team,
]\Iathematics Club, Men's Fellowship Club, Mother Goose Club, Newman
Club, Prigrind Club, Poetry Club, American College Quill Club, Science
Club, Astronomy Science Club, Sci Hi., Social Science Club, Travelers Club,
Y. M. C. A., and Y. W. C. A.
ATHLETICS
Clean wholesome athletic rivalry has a place in life, therefore a place
in the preparation of teachers. Indiana has no inducements of any kind
to offer athletes, except the studies of the school and the social and develop-
mental values that accrue from participation in well-coached competitive
games.
College football, basketball, baseball, track and tennis are maintained
for the boys. The college sport for girls is tennis. Swimming teams for
both boys and girls are now possible because of the pool in the gymnasium.
Intramural athletics are emphasized at Indiana. This form of athletics
makes possible the selection of college material, and gives all students a
chance to learn the fundamentals of the major sports, as well as to derive
the physical, mental and social benefits of organized team play.
The Women's Athletic Association has charge of the intramural pro-
gram for the girls. Its aim is to interest each girl in some sport and it
therefore offers activities of all types ranging from individual hiking, swim-
ming, horse-shoes, track and field, tennis, volley-ball to field-hockey, basket-
ball and baseball.
Indiana believes thoroughly in athletics as a means to an end — but not
as an end in itself. Eveiy student is given an opportunity to participate
in athletics for the value it vnll be to him.
REGULATIONS GOVERNING ELIGIBILITY TO PARTICIPATION
IN ATHLETICS
1. That the Constitution of the Pennsylvania State Normal School
Athletic Association as previously adopted be null and void and
that, as provided by lav/, the action of the Board of Presidents

which contributed.
CAP AND GOWN
The regulation cap and gown, sanctioned by the Intercollegiate Bureau
and Registry of Academic Costume, are worn by Degree Seniors of this
College, upon the proper occasions.
THE ALUMNI
Indiana's Alumni — about 8,500 of them — are the students of yester-
years. Their love for and devotion to Indiana is the best proof that stu-
dent life at Indiana is fine and enjoyable. Prospective students are urged
to ask any graduate of Indiana about conditions at the College. It is
the excellence of the work of Indiana's Alumni that gives reputation to
the college.
Eighteen
Suggestions for Entering Students
PRELIMINARY
The prospective student should send for an application blank. This
blank should be properly filled out and returned with the "Room Reserva-
tion Deposit" of ten dollars. Rooms are assigned in the order in which
applications are received.
The trunks are delivered in the basement of John Sutton Hall. Stu-
dents identify their trunks and place their room number thereon. Porters
deliver the trunks directly to the students' rooms. Students living out-
side of the building mark their trunks with the street address and the
school's dray delivers them.
The time between terms is very short for getting the dormitories again
in readiness for students. For this reason the residence halls are not open
until the opening day.
FRESHMAN MEETING
All students will report for registration, classification and other activi-
ties. Mondav, September eleventh. A general meeting of all Freshmen will
be held in the Auditorium at 7:30 p. m. that evening.
ON ARRIVING AT INDIANA
All Pennsylvania trains stop at the campus on the opening day. The
college is about ten minutes walk southwest of the Pennsylvania station
pnd the Tntemrban station and about the same distance southeast of the
Baltimore and Ohio Station.
The follo^ving suggestions will prove helpful:
1 — Take all baggage checks to the College Book Room and pay for
the delivery.
2 — See the Registrar and pay your fees. (In the Library).
3 — See the Dean of Women (or Men) and get your room.
4 — Get your progi-am made out. The place will be indicated in the
"directions" handed to the students on registration day.
5 — Books are secured at the College Book Room. Please do not en-
deavor to obtain books until classes have met and a correct list
of books needed has been made out.
6 — Credits are evaluated by the Dean of Instruction.
7 — The President's office is always at your service.
YOUR PART
The Indiana State Teachers College maintains a high standard of
excellence both as to scholarship and as to attainment of skill in teaching.
This high standard is possible only by earnest work on the part of the
students. Those who enter the Indiana State Teachers College should
understand that opportunity entails responsibility and that only earneaf.
conscientious students are desired. Indiana definitely limits the amount
of extra work which any student may carrv to three semester hours be-
yond the regularly specified amount, and the privilege of taking this is
granted only to students of exceptional ability.
Nineteen
STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE, INDIANA, PENNSYLVANIA
VISITS
Success demands concentration of thought. This is prevented by fre-
quent visits at home or elsewhere, and usually time thus spent greatly hin-
ders the progress of the student. The student must decide between sacri-
ficing his school work and limiting the number of his visits.
ELECTRICAL AND HEATING APPARATUS
Students are not permitted to use or to have stoves, electric
irons or heaters or cookers, or any preparation for producing fire or heat
m their rooms. The school provides facilities for laundry work, and a
"Candy Kitchen'' for whatever cooking is necessary for "spreads."
THE RIGHT ATTITUDE
It is the school's ijiterest and purpose to serve you, but this it can
do but poorly unless you conform to the life of the Institution. Make up
your mind to get all the good out of school you can. Come with the purpose
of being happy in your work, of getting acquainted and entering heartily
and cheerfully into the complete life of the college, making it all yours.

STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE, INDIANA, PENNSYLVANIA
GRADES AND QUALITY POINTS
•*A" indicates an excellent grade of work.
"B" indicates a good grade of work.
"C" indicates a fairly satisfactory grade of work.
•D" indicates a low grade of passing work,
*'F" indicates a failure and no credit shall be given for the coui-se so marked
until it has been repeated in the regular way.
"I" is given to students who because of absence on account of i>ersonal
illness or other entirely satisfactory reason have been unable to com-
plete the required work, but vv'ho have been doing in general a satis-
factory type of work. This mark must be removed v.-:thin one month
after the student returns to school or it v.ill become a failure, \jpon
completing the required work the student may receive any mark to
which the teacher feels he is entitled.
A SYSTEM OF QUALITY POINTS has been established, as follows:
(1) There are required for graduation a number of quality pwints
equal to the number of semester hours of credit required in the course bein^
pursued. Students vrho receive advanced standing are required to have
one quality point only for each semester hour that is done in this school.
(2) An "A" mark gives 3 quality points for each semester hour of
credit so marked; a **B'' mark gives 2 quality points for each semester hour
of credit so marked; a "C" mark gives 1 quality point for each semester hour
of credit so marked; and a "D" mark gives 0 quality points. ThLs means
that a student must secure at least a "C" average 'in order to graduate.
COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
Three C-ommencem.ents are held each year, at the close of the second
semester, at the close of the summer session, and at the close of the first
semester. Only those students who have completed all requirements for
graduation will be permitted to take part in any given Commencement.
REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION AND CERTIFICATION
Every student entering the Peimsylvania State Teachers College, Indi-
ana, selects one of the eight degree curricula offered at this institution.
All curricula are definitely four-years in length and all lead to the de-
gree of Bachelor of Science in Education or in some specific field of edu-
cation and entitle the graduate to the College Provisional Certificate in the
appropriate field.
Students entering the Kindergarten-Primary, Intermediate, or Rurai
Curriculum who feel unable to remain more than two years may, during
the first year, ask to be allowed to do student teaching during the second
year of attendance. So far as practice teaching facilities vAW permit
such applicants may have their programs for the second year so arranged
that they can secure practice teaching and other courses required for im-
mediate certification. When these students have met the requirements of
two full years of work on a degree curriculum, as modified for certifi-
cation, they may receive a State Limited Certificate which entitles the
holder to teach in the elem.entary schools of the State for a period of
three years. During that time the holder of the certificate must secure
at least twelve additional hours of approved credit toward the degree In
his field. His certificate will then be renewed for three years and within
this period he vrill be expected to secure his degree.
Graduation from the Kindergarten-Primary, Intermediate, or Rural
Twenty-five
STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE, INDIANA, PENNSYLVANIA
four-year curriculum will entitle the graduate to receive the degree of
Bachelor of Science in Education and the College Provisional Certificate
which entitles the holder to teach in the elementary grades for a period
of three years. During that time the holder must secure six semester hours
of approved preparation. Upon completion of these and three years of
satisfactory teaching in the public schools of the Commonwealth the Col-
lege Provisional Certificate is changed to a Permanent College Certificate.
Students in the Secondary Curriculum select two major fields from
the list on pages 34 and 35.
All persons who have completed the work of the two-year Kindergarten-
Primary or Intermediate Curriculum are admitted to junior standing for
a degree, provided they are graduates of an approved, four-year higli
school. The exact number of hours credit granted will depend upon the
curriculum which the student has completed and the one in which he
wishes to secure his degree. Those who become candidates for the degree
in the elementary field will secure two full years' credit but those who
transfer to the secondary field will lose some credit, usually from four
to ten hours.
All credits for work less than that required at a State Normal School
for graduation between September, 1920, and September, 1926, shall be
evaluated by multiplying the number of semester hours already earned by
.85.
All persons who were graduated from a State Normal School prior
to September, 1920, and who have had a four-year high school prepara-
tion, cannot be awarded more than 64 semester hours of credit for their
normal school work prior to graduation.
Students who were graduated from the State Normal Schools before
four years of high school preparation was required, and who still lack
this requirement, may apply to the Credentials Bureau, iiarrisburg, Penn-
sylvania, for a high school equivalent certificate, which, when issued by
the Credentials Bureau, will be accepted by the State Teachers Colleges as
equivalent to graduation from a four-year high school and all credits
earned at a State Normal School prior to September, 1926, will be eval-
uated as indicated above.
Former graduates of a two or three-year curriculum at the State Teach-
ers College, Indiana, who become candidates for a degree from this school,
must do at least one-half the work required beyond previous graduation
at Indiana. An amount up to one-half the required work may be trans-
ferred from other accredited schools provided the courses pursued are the
same or equivalent to the required courses here. Not to exceed 18 semes-
ter hours of approved work may be taken in extension classes. Correspond-
ence courses are not accepted.

FOUR- YEAR CURRICULUM FOR THE PREPARATION OF
TEACHERS FOR THE SECONDARY SCHOOL
The State Teachers College at Indiana has for some time given special
attention to the important v.-ork of preparing teachers for High Schools.
In the course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education for
the Secondary field careful pro\'ision is made for the preparation of thor-
oughly qualified teachers for all fields of secondary school work. A study
of the following curriculum and the list of electives on nages 34 and 35
will show that it provides these important features: a broad general founda-
tion in the fields of secondary' education; a thorough grounding in the sci-
ence of education; from twenty-four to thirty-six hours of intensive study
in each of two fields cf high school work; and lastly, a full semester's prac-
tice teaching under expert supervision in the fields of the student's choice.
This combination produces a teacher who is not merely a subject-matter
expert but who knov.-s the sciences that lie back of successful teaching and
has had a chance to apply these sciences under expert guidance.
The demands for teachers from tlnis department has been increasing
steadily as superintendents and school boards come to realize the value of
four years of real professional training for the specific work to be done.
It offers splendid opportunities for young men and women who wish to
enter the field of teaching in Junior and Senior High Schools, no matter
what their plans for later teaching may be. It is especially recommended
to those young men who have the p>ersonal and intellectual qualities to fit
them for the splendid opportunities that are now offered in the administra-
tive and supervisory fields of public education.

OPPORTUNITIES
The State Department of Public In^struction has especially designated
State Teachers C-ollege, Indiana, Pa., as one in which teachers of business
for the high schools of the State may be trained. The curriculum is four
years in length, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education.
Those who complete the work as outlined are prepared either to super\-ise
or teach any or all of the business subjects found in any of the high schools
of the State, and are certified accordingly.
A wonderful opportunity is available here for men and women of high
caliber who possess the ability and ambition requisite for success in this
type of work.
OUR NEW BUILDING
Our fine new building and additional equipment give us an advantage
enjoyed by few colleges. We are equipped for most efficient work.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
Entrance requirements are the same as for other departments. Grad-
uates from the Department of Business will find their places eventually
in positions of much responsibility in the larger high schools. This sug-
gests that only those who possess the ability, ambition, personality, and
aptitudes requisite for success in such professional work and who have
proved themselves in high school, should apply for entrance to the Depart-
ment of Business.
We are prepared to accept a few mid-year high school graduates each
January-. Arrangements for entering at that time shorld be made well in
advance. This also applies to those entering in September.
Graduates from any of the high school curriculums are eligible, and
rank alike upon entering.
We meet ever>' requirement laid down by the State Department of
Public Instruction for teaching in the high schools of the State. We grant
a fully-accredited degree recognized by the graduate schools of leading uni-
versities.
ADVANCED STANDING

the Department of Business, who has had the equivalent elsewhere in a
Thirty-five

recognized school of college grade of any of the work outlined in our cur-
riculum, may make application for advanced standing. Such application
should be made as soon as convenient to the Director of the Department of
Business Education.
EQUIPMENT
The Department of Business is well equipped throughout with a full
supply of all modern office machines. Adding machines, calculating ma-
chines, banking machines, multigraphs, mimeographs, mimeoscopes, address-
ographs, dictaphones, files and cabinets, and other up-to-date efficiencv de-
vices of modern business give the students a practical knowledge of the
time-savers found in modern offices. Their uses are taught and mastered
in this Department. Our students become very proficient in the manipula-
tion of such machines before graduation.
BUSINESS PRACTICE DEPARTMENT
Our Business Practice Department is a complete business community
in itself, and includes not only the procedure but also the actual atmosphere
and environment of modern business. It is equipped for efficient and up-
to-date work. Much practical business experience may be procured in our
Practice Department.
PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS
These requirements are a vital and necessary part of the prospective
teacher's preparation and are in addition to the courses outlined in the
curriculum. Credit is given for actual business experience previously pro-
cured and also for that acquired in our own Business Practice Depart-
ment. The requirements ai'e as follows:
1. Two months of Store Practice at places and under conditions
approved by the Director of the Department.
2. Two months of Secretarial Experience at places and under condi-
tions approved by the Director of the Department.
3. Two months of Bookkeeping or Clerical Practice at places and

more than the State requirement in hours of actual practical teaching
and observation. We conduct a number of teaching centers in connection
with some of the largest high schools within convenient reach. To those
teaching centers our students are sent for one full semester for their
practice teaching. The teacher holds a regular position in the high school
and carries a full program of classes and extracurricular activities. Tho
work is supervised and criticized by our own experienced supervisors and
critics and also by supervisors furnished by the teaching centers. Every-
thing is done to afford those in training as much actual teaching experi-
ence and school contacts as possible before graduation,
THE TEACHER PLACEMENT BUREAU
A very efficient Teacher Placement Bureau is conducted in connection
with the Department of Business for the purpose of obtaining suitable
teaching positions for our graduates, and also for promoting the interests
of those of our number who have been teaching for a year or more and
who have made good records and desire a change. No charge whatever
is made for the services rendered by this Bureau.

De{)artment of Art
At Indiana the four-year course with B. S. degree in Art Education
prepares students to be supervisors, as well as special teachers of art in
senior high, junior high, and elementary schools.
INSTRUCTION
Aside from the art courses English, science, history, government, edu-
cation courses, and electives are required so that graduates from this de-
partment have broad enough background to be intelligent teachers of their
special subject.
Art instruction is given in the following: art structure, design (in-
cluding commercial and cosume design, and interior decoration) ; per-
spective drawing; mechanical drawing; cast drawing; drawing from the
draped model and from still life; blackboard drawing; sketching from na-
ture; clay modeling; painting, both in water color and in oil. The curric-
ulum also includes applied and industrial arts, giving practical work in
weaving, pottery, textile design, construction, jewelry, leather, and metal.
The art history and art appreciation course covers all periods of sculpture,
architecture, and painting, including the moderns.
TEACHING AND PLACEMENT
During the senior year each student is required to teach in the Train-
ing Department where practical experience is gained from up-to-date meth-
ods of teaching art. The Director of the Department in cooperation with
the Training School assists graduates to secure positions.
THE STAFF
The fine arts instructional staff consists of seven members each of
whom has had wide experience in both public school and college work.
Each is a specialist in a particular field and has made contributions out-
side of teaching as follows: one a painter and exhibitor with local artists
at Carnegie Institute; another a painter and exhibitor in St. Louis and
New York City; another has done work in occupational therapy; three are
expert in teaching children and in supervision of art either in public or
training schools; another has influenced the art education of a whole state.
All of this insures a type of instruction marked by unusual breadth, versa-
tility, and awareness of the best that is done in art.

THE ART CLUB
At Indiana there is a live Art Club that numbers all art students and
art faculty in its membership. This club has established itself by the high
class of entertainment given not only at its monthly meetings but for
the college at large. Its greatest successes have been a fashion show, a
carnival, an art class of fifty years ago, a group of impersonations of public
and campus characters, and caricatures in living pictures (a take-off on
some modern and old masters). Annually, the club gives a bronze medal
(The Jean R. McElhaney Award for Excellence in Fine Arts) to the
junior or the senior who has three outstanding achievements in three dif-
ferent fields of art.
HOUSING AND EQUIPMENT
The entire second floor of the Arts Building is given over to the art
classes. On this floor are six studios, an exhibition and conference room,
a rest room, the locker-room, the director's office, and five other offices.
On the ground floor facing east campus are the pottery and kiln rooms.
The finest equipment, best suited to its purpose, has been installed.
With these facilities and an efficient staff Indiana stands in the fore-
most rank in Art Education.

The Home Economics Curriculum offers educational preparation for
teachers of vocational and general home economics in elementary and
secondary schools of Pennsylvania. Graduates of this curriculum receive
the degree of Bachelor of Science in Home Economics whix;h is recognized for
entrance to graduate courses by all leading colleges and universities. Our
graduates receive a Provisional College Certificate valid for any vocational
(Smith-Hughes or George-Reed) or general home economics position in
the public schools of Pennsylvania. The students in this curriculum minor
in English and upon graduation they are certificated to teach English.
The new four-year curriculum in Home Economics requires twenty-one
semester hours in science and the State certifies graduates of this depart-
ment to teach general science.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
The requirements for admission to the Home Economics Department
are the same as already specified, except that students must have one
high school unit of chemistry. The students should have at least two other
units of science, preferably physics and biology. No student should apply
who does not meet the chemistry requirements. Students who have had
one or more semester's work in others colleges should have a B average
before applying for admission to this department.
SUMMER PROJECTS IN THE HOME ECONOMICS CURRICULUM
One summer project is required at the end of the freshman and sopho-
more years. Two projects are required of any student whose need demands
them. The purpose of the summer project is to give the student an op-
portunity to continue work in her weakest subject. Projects are planned
by the student wdth the subject matter teacher and they are checked by her.
A project coming at the end of the junior year is selected by the stu-
dent, with the advice of the subject matter teacher, in the commercial
field. The aim is to have the student take a project related to her home
economics curriculum and one for which she receives compensation for her
services. A written report of this and the results obtained are given to
the subject matter teacher at the opening of the fall semester.
OUR NEW HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT
The Home Economics Department is now located on the top floor
of the new Arts Building. Here are spacious laboratories, class rooms,
dining room, unit kitchen, laundry, store rooms, conference room, rest
rooms and offices. The department has been carefully planned to have
all the conveniences of modern architecture. The equipment is modem
and adequate in every way. Superintendents who are planning home eco-
nomics departments in new high schools are invited to inspect the equip-
ment and the plan of our laboratories in this new department.
HOME MANAGEMENT HOUSE (PRACTICE HOUSE)

airy house, attractively and appropriately furnished. It has the atmosphere
of a comfortable and hospitable home.

nursery school is the laboratory for the Child Development Course which
is given parallel to Home Management III. It is under the supervision
of the instructor in Child Development.
EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITY (HOME ECONOMICS CLUB)
Our Home Economics Club is affiliated with the state and national
home economics association. This affiliation is a means of keeping in-
formed on club activities of national importance. All home economics stu-
dents who make application for membership in the club are admitted and
enjoy all the rights and privileges on the payment of their dues. The
club aims to develop a social interest among the students in the depart-
ment. It is a means whereby the new student finds friends and help in
adjusting herself to college life and in getting acquainted with other
activities outside of the department. Through the year the members en-
joy together picnics, parties, dances. One large formal banquet is given.
At the regular meetings of the club interesting programs are presented
under the direction of the club sponsor. Every opportunity is offered to
develop initiative, leadership, comradeship, and social adjustment. Mem-
bership into tv,x) extra-curricular activities each year are required by the
college.
OUR MONTHLY ASSEMBLY
On the first Friday of each month the home economics students hold
their assembly in the college auditorium. Those assemblies are in charge
of the students who on their own leadership and initiative conduct appio-
priate exercises.

Tne Def)artmGnt of Music
The State Teachers College, Indiana, Penna., is authorized to offer the
four year curriculum for the preparation of special teachers and super-
visors of music. Graduates of this curriculum receive the degree, Bachelor
of Science in Public School Music, and, in addition, the College Provisional
Cei'tificate which is a valid license to teach and supervise music in the ele-
mentary and secondary schools of Pennsylvania for a period of three years.
At the end of three years of successful experience in Pennsylvania and the
campletion of six semester hours of additional training, the College Per-
manent Certificate is received.
Requirements for Admission to the Four Year Music Curriculum:
In addition to the requirements for admission already specified for
other departments, the applicant should make sure that he meets the fol-
lowing special requirements which are considered necessary for success as
a teacher of music.
1. The possession of an acceptable singing voice.
2. A special aptitude in such matters as pitch discrimination, sense of
consonance, tonal memory and in sensing rhj/thms.
3. A musical background as a result of private study or a successful
public school music experience.
4. Ability to play the piano or some orchestral instrument represent-
ing at least twx) years of study.
In order to help the candidate seeking admission to determine his fit-
ness for entrance to the music curriculum, it is strongly advised that he
arrange for a personal interview with the Director of the Department of
]\Iusic before enrollment day. These interviews have proven very helpful
in the past in giving the student an understanding of the entire curriculum
and in establishing confidence in his own ability to do the work.
Since we receive many more applications than can be accepted, it is
advisable to make application and arrange for an interview early in the
new year. The candidate may arrange for an interview by writing Mr.
John W. Neff, Director of the Department of Music.

THE PLACEMENT OF GRADUATES
The Director assists graduates of the department in obtaining suitable
teaching positions. Much care is exercised in advising the graduate with
respect to placement in order that he may render successful service.
Superintendents and Supervising Principals interested in graduates of
this department are earnestly requested to come to Indiana for a personal
interview with the student and to observe him working in school situations.
STUDENT TEACHING
Music students teach for one year in the Training School. This work
is done in the Elementary and Junior High School located on the College
Campus, and in the Elementary, Junior and Senior High Schools of the
Indiana Borough Public Schools. Every type of teaching or musical ac-
tivity is found in our Training School program. This work is carefully
supervised by meml:)ers of our own staff. Due to the breadth of a music
program, students do more than the required amount of teaching in order
to cover fully the various grades and musical activities and be thoroughly
qualified to handle any phase of teaching music in the public schools.
INSTRUCTION
The curriculum for supervisors of music which is given on the follow-
ing pages prepares especially for the teaching and supervision of music
in the elementary and secondary schools. It is largely self explanatory.
Private instruction which is listed in each semester presents two phases of
work, viz: ' ' '^f'''*^'^"'^
1. Private instruction in voice, piano, violin and other stringed, wood-
wind and brass instruments of the orchestra and band.
2. Group musicianship.
In addition to the organizations listed below, students are given ex-
perience in small ensemble groups such as stringed groups, wood-wind quar-
tets and groups, brass quartets and groups, etc. This work stimulates im-
mediate growth and prepares the students for teaching similar groups in
the public schools. It is out of these groups that the larger organizations
draw experienced players.
The larger group organizations are:
The Mixed Chorus The Men's Glee Club
The Vesper Choir The College Orchestra
The College Band

ricula are listed in the respective curricula. All these courses are
taught by regular members of the music faculty and the -wxjrk is kept
on as high a level as is that of the special courses in music.

The Summer bcnool
The Summer School has become an integral part of the year's work.
Teachers in serA-ice and students in regular attendance can secure in the
summer session six hours' credit toward any certificate or toward gradu-
ation in any curriculum. High school graduates who have not pre\-iously
attended college may attend summer school but they are not encouraged to
do so. The courses are planned primarily for those who have had pre-
vious v.-ork and an effort is made to meet all reasonable requests of teachers
who are working toward higher certification or toward graduation. The
groups whose interests are kept particularly in mind in planning the work
of the summer session are:
1. Holders of Partial Elementary Certificates who are seeking stand-
ard certification or graduation.
2. Graduates of two or three-year curricula who are working to-
vv-ard degrees in their fields.
3. Holders of degrees who wish to secure the six hours required to
make the College Provisional Certificate permanent, or v,-ho uish to secure
additional certification.
4. Students in regular attendance who wish to secure additional credit
or v/ho wish to make up failures or incompletes received the pre\ious year.
All courses given in the summer session require the same amount of
time and are granted the same credit as if taken during a regular semester.
The Summer School Bulletin vrill be mailed to anyone desiring more com-
plete information regarding the courses to be offered.
CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
/. State Standard Limited Certificate
The State Council of Education at a meeting held June 16, 1932, au-
thorized the issue of a State Standard Limited Certificate for persons de-
siring to teach the subjects prescribed for the elementary curriculum in
the public schools of this Commonwealth. This certificate is issued in
accordance with the following regulations:
1. AppUcants for this form of certificate must have completed an ap-
proved four-year high school curriculum, or approved equivalent
education, and two years, or the equivalent, of professional prepara-
tion for teaching.
2. This certificate \^ill be valid for three years, renewable for an ad-
ditional_ period of three years upon a rating of "low" or better and
the satisfactory completion of twelve semester hours of further
approved preparation, subsequent renewals to require a rating of
"middle" or better on a State teachers' rating score card together
with twelve semester hours of further approved preparation.
3. The State Limited License may be exchanged for a Pro\isional Col-
lege Certificate when the applicant has met the reoui'-e'^eni-s for '
this form of license as prescribed in the regulations, that is, has
secured a degree and has met the requirements for certification
in his field or fields.
An applicant for the State Standard Limited Certificate should
have completed at least the first two years of an approved cur-
riculum for the preparation of elementary teachers, including not
less than six semester hours of approved "practice teaching. Addi-
Forty-nine
STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE, INDIANA, PENNSYLVANIA
tional courses presci-ibed for renewal purposes should be selected
in accordance with the particular degree curriculum in which the
applicant has been enrolled and which should advance the holder
of the State Standard Limited Certificate towards the completion
of a four-year curriculum.
In accordance with the action of the State Council, ,Tune in, 1032. thr'
issue of the Temporary Standard Certificate has been discontinued as of
September 1, 1932, with exceptions made of all those teachers-in-service who
hold the partial certificate and others who may have completed for the most
))art the requirements for the issue of the Standard Certificate in accord-
ance A\-ith the regnalations. This action of the State Council means that
in all probability the Normal Schcwl Diploma, formerly granted to gradu-
al-cs of the tvro-ycar curricula, will be replaced by the State Standard
Limited Certificate as described above and that the Standard Certificate will
be given only to present holders of the Partial Elementary Certificate who
•'liave completed for the most part the requirements for the issue of the
Standard Certificate."
//. College Certificates
1. The Provisional College Certificate is issued to any graduate of
one of the four-year curricula and entitles him to teach the sul>-
jects indicated on the face of the certificate in any secondary school
in the Commonwealth for a period of three years. Three years of
successful teaching and the completion of six semester hours of
additional approved training enables the ovaier to receive the Per-
manent College C-ertificate. This is a life certificate to teach the
subjects in his field in any high school in the State.
In order to add a subject to a certificate in the secondarv field
credentials showing the satisfacton,' completion of eighteen semes-
ter hours of appi'oved preparation must l:)e presented. The addi-
tion of subjects in the secondary field to a certificate in the ele-
mentary field is no longer permitted.

sitions and aids school officials in procuring teachers.
It collects complete and accurate information respecting all applicants
for positions who ask the assistance of the Committee.
The Committee seeks to assist school authorities in procuring compe-
tent teacher. The plan is to recommend candidates best suited to fill va-
cancies and not to send out general letters of recommendation.
School authorities who write the Committee will have full and confi-
dential information in regard to applicants.
School officers are cordially invited to visit the College to inspect the
vvork of those whom they may wish to secure to fill positions. Correspond-
ence is invited from Boards, Principals, and Superintendents, in regard
to vacancies and teachers. This information will be treated in full con-
fidence and all possible assistance v/ill be gladly given.
While the chief work of the Committee will be to help the students who
are in attendance, yet it is the purpose to lend assistance to graduates and
former students in securing for themselves more satisfactory positions. To
this end the full cooperation of Alumni and former students is earnestly
desired. Write to the Committee when in need of a teacher. Supply in-
lormation concerning vacancies.
