HISTORY 

A  bill  was  introduced  and  passed  by  the  (Jeneral  Assembly  in  the 
legislative  session  of  1871,  in  conformity  to  the  Normal  School  Act  of 
1857,  permitting  the  establishment  of  a  State  Normal  School  in  the  ninth 
Normal  School  District.  The  original  building  was  completed  and  first 
opened  for  students  on  May  17,  1875.  This  building,  named  John  Sutton 
Hall  in  honor  of  the  first  President  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  is  still  in 
use  and  is  in  excellent  condition.  The  steady  growth  of  the  school  has 
caused  a  continuous  expansion  in  its  building  program.  No  college  in 
the  state  can  boast  of  an  educational  plant,  including  campus,  buildings, 
and  equipment,  in  better  physical  condition  than  that  at  Indiana. 

In  April,  1920,  entire  control  and  ownership  of  the  school  passed  to 
the  Commonwealth  of  Pennsylvania.  In  May,  1927,  by  authority  of  the 
General  Assembly,  the  school  became  a  college  with  the  right  to  grant

degrees,  and  the  name  was  changed  to  the  State  Teachers  College  at 
Indiana,  Pennsylvania. 

LOCATION 

Indiana  Borough,  the  county  seat  of  Indiana  County,  is  located  in 
the  foothills  of  the  Alleghenies  at  an  elevation  of  about  1400  feet,  an 
ideal  location  for  health  and  comfort.  The  town  is  noted  for  its  cleanli- 
ness and  beauty.  It  is  easily  accessible  by  automobile,  as  it  is  located 
on  the  Benjamin  Franklin  Highway  and  is  connected  with  all  leading 
highways  of  the  state  by  excellent  roads.  It  is  also  easily  reached  by  rail, 
being  the  northern  terminus  of  the  Indiana  branch  of  the  Pennsylvania 
Railroad,  connecting  with  the  main  line  at  Torrance.  Indiana  is  also 
on  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Railroad,  which  makes  connection  with  all 
northern  points.  Bus  service  is  available  to  practically  all  parts  of  the 
state. 


CAMPUS  AND  BUILDINGS 

Campus.  The  college  owns  34  acres  of  land,  23  of  which  are  in  the 
original  campus.  In  the  center  of  this  is  a  historic  oak  grove,  about  which 
are  grouped  the  main  buildings  forming  three  sides  of  the  quadrangle. 
The  rest  of  the  campus  is  beautified  by  a  careful  distribution  of  shrubs, 
roses,  and  other  plants  artistically  arranged.  On  streets  bordering  the 
campus  the  college  owns  eighteen  houses  or  "cottages"  most  of  which 
are  occupied  as  dormitories  by  the  men. 

Buildings.  In  addition  to  John  Sutton  Hall,  which  now  includes  all 
the  administrative  offices,  the  post  office,  recreation  hall,  the  president's 
apartment,  the  library,  and  women's  dormitory  rooms,  the  following  are 
the  chief  buildings: 

Thomas  Sutton  Hall,  an  addition  to  John  Sutton  Hall,  erected  in 
1903,  contains  the  kitchen,  dining  rooms,  and  dietitian's  office  on  the  first 
floor  and  the  music  education  department  on  the  second  and  third. 

Clark  Hall,  named  in  honor  of  Justice  Silas  M.  Clark,  a  member  of 
the  Board  of  Trustees,  was  erected  in  1906  on  the  site  of  a  former  build- 
ing burned  that  year.  It  was  used  as  a  men's  dormitory  until  1924  and 
since  that  time  has  served  as  a  dormitory  for  women. 

Wilson  Hall,  at  present  housing  the  campus  laboratory  school  for 
grades  one  to  six,  was  erected  in  1893  and  was  named  for  A.  W.  Wilson, 
third  President  of  the  Board  of  Trustees.  On  completion  of  the  new 
Laboratory  School  this  building  will  furnish  additional  recitation  rooms 
for  the  college.

Leonard  Hall,  named  for  Jane  E.  Leonard,  for  many  years  precep- 
tress of  Indiana  Normal  School,  was  erected  in  1903  as  a  recitation  build- 
ing. It  contains  the  laboratories,  recitation  rooms,  and,  at  present,  the 
campus  laboratory  school  for  the  junior  high  school.  The  Junior  High 
School  Department  will  have  quarters  in  the  new  Laboratory  School 
when  it  is  ready  for  occupancy. 

The  Gymnasium  was  completed  in  1928.  It  contains  two  gymna- 
siums, a  fine  swimming  pool,  and  all  the  equipment  that  goes  to  make  up 
an  efficient  physical  education  plant. 

The  Arts  Building,  completed  in  1931,  houses  the  art,  business,  and 
home  economics  departments,  one  entire  floor  being  given  to  each  de- 
partment. This  building,  both  in  appearance  and  in  equipment  for  effi- 
cient work,  is  recognized  as  one  of  the  finest  educational  buildings  in 
the  state. 

Auditorium.  A  new  auditorium  to  seat  1600  people  is  being  provided 
under  the  general  state  authority  program. 

Laboratory  School.  The  new  laboratory  school  will  provide  for  a 
complete  elementary  and  junior  high  school  program.  The  junior  high 
school  plans  provide  for  courses  in  the  following  fields:  academic,  com- 
mercial, home  economics,  and  industrial  arts.  Facilities  will  also  be  pro- 
vided for  physical  education,  a  psychological  clinic,  a  health  clinic,  a  li- 
brary, music  and  art  studios.  A  fine  demonstration  room  with  seats 
for  160  observers  is  a  unique  feature  of  the  building. 

Dining  Room  Annex.  At  the  west  end  of  the  dining  room  is  an  annex 
which  provides  ample  lobby  space  for  men  and  women  students  entering 
and  leaving  the  dining  room,  and  a  pleasant  social  room  for  various 
activities. 

The  Library,  which  comprises  approximately  15,000  volumes,  is  lo- 
cated in  the  north  wing  of  John  Sutton  Hall.  One  hundred  fifty  periodi- 
cals are  received  regularly.  By  means  of  shelves  open  to  the  students, 
free  reading  is  encouraged  in  the  main  reading  room  on  the  first  floor. 
Books  assigned  as  required  reading  by  instructors  are  kept  on  reserve  in 
a  reading  room  directly  below  the  main  library.  The  beginning  of  a  Text 
Book  Library  is  now  kept  in  a  room  adjacent  to  the  first  floor  reading 
room,  A  student  may  have  access  to  this  room  at  any  time  by  securing 
the  key  at  the  circulation  desk.  In  the  provision  of  reading  material  and 
in  its  organization,  newer  curriculum  trends  are  considered  and  while 
the  book  collection  is  small,  an  effort  is  made  to  serve  the  specific  needs 
of  the  students  and  faculty. 

The  Library  is  open  from  7:45  A.M.  to  5:00  P.M.  and  from  7:00  P.M. 
to  9:00  P.M.  from  Monday  through  Friday  and  from  7:45  A.M.  to  2:30 
P.M.  on  Saturday.

The  Infirmary,  located  in  a  wing  of  John  Sutton  Hall,  has  13  beds 
and  is  thoroughly  equipped  in  every  way,  not  only  for  all  the  routine 
work  of  such  a  place,  but  for  every  type  of  emergency  as  well.  Two  reg- 
istered nurses  are  always  on  duty  and  physicians  and  surgeons  of  the 
highest  type  are  within  easy  call.  The  health  of  students  is  a  matter  of 
first  concern  at  Indiana. 

The  College  Bookstore.  This  bookstore  is  operated  by  the  Students 
Co-operative  Association,  which  receives  the  benefit  of  all  net  receipts. 
In  addition  to  books,  this  store  carries  a  complete  line  of  students'  neces- 
sities which  can  be  purchased  at  reasonable  prices.  The  regulation  gym- 
nasium uniforms  can  also  be  purchased  here. 

The  Power  Plant,  which  furnishes  heat  and  light  for  all  buildings 
owned  by  the  school,  has  been  enlarged  from  time  to  time.  The  last  unit, 
which  was  added  in  1932,  makes  this  plant  thoroughly  up  to  date  in  every 
way  and  insures  a  capacity  to  meet  all  needs  for  years  to  come. 

Shop  Buildings.  A  shop  building  has  been  erected  recently  near  the 
power  plant.  It  is  a  brick  structure  of  factory-type  construction,  two 
stories  in  height  in  front,  and  one  story  in  the  rear.  In  it  are  located  the 
carpenter  shop,  the  electric  shop,  the  paint  shop,  and  the  plumbing  shop, 
and  it  provides  storage  room  for  all  materials  for  these  shops. 

Changes  in  the  basement  of  John  Sutton  Hall,  in  which  these  shops 
were  formerly  located,  now  provide  for  a  new  janitors'  room,  a  new 
gardeners'  room,  a  central  filing  room,  and  a  central  storeroom.  All 
basement  rooms  located  in  North  Wing  have  been  remodeled  and  are 
used  as  community  rooms,  lounges,  and  a  library-reading  room  for  activi- 
ties of  day  students. 

The  Lodge  plays  an  important  part  in  the  instructional  and  recrea- 
tional life  of  the  school.  Owned  by  students  and  faculty,  this  100  acres 
of  wooded  hillside  with  its  rustic  lodge  and  three  shelter  houses  not  only 
offers  opportunity  for  study  by  nature  and  conservation  classes,  but  is  in 
demand  for  picnics,  meetings,  and  winter  sports.

students  at  the  end  of  each  semester  or  summer  term:  A,  excellent;  B, 
good;  C,  fair;  D,  passed;  F,  failed;  I,  incomplete. 

A  grade  of  F  can  be  cleared  only  by  repeating  the  course  in  the 
regular  way.  The  grade  I  is  used  to  record  work  which,  so  far  as  cov- 
ered, is  of  passing  grade,  but  which  is  incomplete  because  of  personal 
illness  or  other  unavoidable  reason.  It  must  be  made  up  within  twA 
months  after  the  student  returns  to  school. 

Quality  Points  are  assigned  as  follows:  Grade  A,  3  quality  points 
per  semester  hour;  B,  2  quality  points  per  semester  hour;  C,  1  quality 
point  per  semester  hour;  D  or  F,  no  quality  points. 

To  qualify  for  graduation  or  for  recommendation  for  the  State 
Standard  Limited  Certificate,  a  student  must  have  secured  as  many 
quality  points  as  the  number  of  semester  hours  he  has  earned  in  this 
school  toward  his  degree  or  certification.  Quality  points  are  not  counted 
on  grades  from  other  schools  and  a  student  transferring  from  another 
school  is  held  responsible  for  quality  points  only  on  work  taken  here. 

Honor  Roll.  Students,  who,  during  the  previous  semester  have  no 
grades  lower  than  B  and  half  of  whose  grades  are  A,  are  placed  on  the 


24  Teachers  College  Bulletin 

Dean's   Honor  Roll  and  receive  special  privileges.    During  the  second 
semester  1938-39  there  were  28  names  on  this  list.

English  skills,  as  shown  by  low  grades  and  test  scores,  should  be 
removed  by  repetition  of  courses,  by  regular  attendance  at  the 
English  Laboratory,  or  by  both  of  these  remedies.  Each  student 
is  responsible  for  maintaining  and  improving  his  English  skills. 

3.  The  number  of  quality  points  must  equal  or  exceed  the  number  of 
hours  earned  at  Indiana.  Rare  exceptions  may  be  made  for  stu- 
dents who  have  shown  marked  improvement.  Students  who  have 
transferred  from  other  colleges  must  have  completed  at  least  the 
equivalent  of  one  semester  at  Indiana. 

4.  Candidates  for  the  degree  must  have  two  semesters  of  work  with 
a  C  average  and  no  failures  in  these  semesters.  One  such  se- 
mester shall  be  required  for  those  who  are  seeking  the  State 
Standard  Limited  Certificate. 

Student  teaching  in  the  summer  session  is  restricted  to  those  who 
have  some  previous  student  teaching  or  actual  experience.  Application 
must  be  made  well  in  advance. 

REQUIREMENTS    FOR    GRADUATION    AND    CERTIFICATION 

Every  student  entering  the  State  Teachers  College,  Indiana,  Penn- 
sylvania, selects  one  of  the  six  degree  curricula  offered  at  this  college. 
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 
education  and  entitle  the  graduate  to  the  Provisional  College  Certificate 
in  the  appropriate  field. 

Graduates  of  the  special  curricula,  art,  business  education,  home 
economics,  and  music,  receive  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science  in  their 
particular  field  of  education  and  the  Provisional  College  Certificate  with 
authority  to  teach  and  supervise  the  work  in  their  special  field  in  all 
grades  of  both  the  elementary  and  the  secondary  school  level.  These 
graduates  are  usually  certificated  to  teach  at  least  one  other  field  in  the 
junior  and  senior  high  school. 

Graduates  of  the  elementary  curriculum  receive  the  degree  of 
Bachelor  of  Science  in  Education  and  the  Provisional  College  Certificate. 
This  certificate  entitles  the  holder  to  teach  for  three  years  in  the  first 
six  grades  of  any  public  school  and  in  grades  seven  and  eight  if  these 
are  not  organized  as  part  of  a  junior  high  school.  After  three  years 
of  successful  teaching  and  the  addition  of  six  hours  of  approved  college 
courses,  the  certificate  is  changed  to  a  Permanent  College  Certificate. 


Indiana  Catalogue  Numbkr  2r» 

Graduates  of  the  secondary  curriculum  receive  the  same  degree, 
Bachelor  of  Science  in  Education  and  the  Provisional  College  Certificate, 
vi'hich  entitles  the  holder  to  teach  in  any  junior  or  senior  high  school 
the  subjects  vi'ritten  on  the  face  of  the  certificate.  Permanent  certifica- 
tion is  secured  on  the  completion  of  three  years  of  successful  teaching 
and  the  completion  of  six  semester  hours  of  approved  work. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Presidents  of  the  State  Teachers 
Colleges  on  January  15,  1937,  the  following  report  of  the  Curricular  Re- 
vision Committee  was  approved. 

1.  That  each  student  shall  present  as  a  requirement  for  graduation 
from  the  Secondary  Curriculum  at  least  two  subject  fields  for  certifica- 
tion, one  of  which  shall  consist  of  not  less  than  twenty-four  semester 
hours. 

2.  That  all  courses  carried  in  any  subject-matter  field  shall  be 
counted  toward  certification. 

3.  That  the  Board  of  Teachers  College  Presidents  request  the 
State  Council  of  Education  to  consider  raising,  as  soon  as  possible,  the 
present  eighteen-semester-hour  certification  requirement  in  every  sub- 
ject-matter field  to  twenty-four  semester  hours. 

In  accordance  with  the  above  a  student  must  meet  certification  re- 
quirements in  two  fields,  in  one  of  which  he  must  have  at  least  24 
semester  hours  and  in  the  other  at  least  18  semester  hours.  Required 
courses  are  included  in  the  above,  except  that  the  course  in  "Speech"  is 
not  included  in  meeting  the  requirements  for  certification  in  English, 

Besides  the  degree  curricula  in  the  special  fields  of  art,  business 
education,  home  economics,  and  music,  Indiana  provides  all  courses 
necessary  for  certifiication  in  the  secondary  fields  of  English,  geography, 
mathematics,  science,  and  social  studies. 

All  persons  who  have  completed  the  work  of  the  two-year  Kinder- 
garten-Primary or  Intermediate  Curriculum  as  previously  organized  are 
admitted  to  junior  standing  for  a  degree  provided  they  are  graduates 
of  an  approved  four-year  high  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. 

Graduates  of  any  two-year  curriculum  can  secure  not  more  than 
two  full  years'  credit,  64  semester  hours,  towards  the  degree  for  such 
graduation. 

Former  graduates  of  a  two  or  three-year  curriculum  at  the  State 
Teachers  College,  Indiana,  Pennsylvania,  who  become  candidates  for  a 
degree  from  this  school,  must  do  at  least  one-half  of  the  work  required 
beyond  previous  graduation  or  certification  at  Indiana.  An  amount  up 
to  one-half  the  required  work  may  be  transferred  from  other  accredited 


26  Teachers  College  Bulletin 

schools  provided  the  courses  pursued  are  the  same  or  equivalent  to  the 
required  courses  here.  Not  to  exceed  thirty  semester  hours  of  approv- 
ed work  may  be  taken  in  extension  classes.  Correspondence  courses 
are  not  accepted. 

I.  State  Standard  Limited  Certificate. 

The  State  Council  of  Education  at  a  meeting  held  June  16,  1932, 
authorized  the  issue  of  a  State  Standard  Limited  Certificate  for  persons 
desiring  to  teach  the  subjects  prescribed  for  the  elementary  curriculum 
in  the  public  schools  of  this  commonwealth. 

This  certificate  is  valid  for  three  years  and  renewable  for  an  addi- 
tional period  of  three  years  upon  a  rating  of  "low"  or  better  and  upon 
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. 

At  that  time  the  requirement  was  two  years  of  approved  profes- 
sional work.  At  their  meeting  in  May,  1936,  the  State  Council  of  Edu- 
cation extended  the  requirement  to  three  years  for  all  candidates  who 
would  enter  after  January  1,  1937.  Those  who  entered  college  before 
that  date  may  still  secure  the  certificate  on  the  completion  of  two  years 
approved  work. 

During  the  last  year  the  State  Council  of  Education  has  taken  an- 
other step  in  advancing  requirements.  All  students  who  enter  the  ele- 
mentary curriculum  after  February  1,  1939,  must  remain  four  years  and 
meet  the  full  requirements  for  graduation  before  they  can  secure  certi- 
fication. The  regulations  regarding  certification  in  the  elementary  field 
may  be  summarized  as  follows: 

1.  Students  who  entered  before  January  1,  1937,  may  still  >5ecure 
the  State  Standard  Limited  Certificate  on  satisfactory  comple- 
tion of  two  years'  work  including  the  special  requirements  for 
certification. 

2.  Students  who  entered  between  January  1,  1937,  and  February 
1,  1939,  may  secure  the  State  Standard  Limited  Certificate  on 
the  satisfactory  completion  of  three  years'  work  including  the 
special  requirements  for  certification. 

3.  Students  who  entered  after  February  1,  1939,  cannot  secure  any 
type  of  certification  until  they  have  completed  the  full  require- 
ments for  the  degree.  They  will  then  receive  the  Provisional  Col- 
lege Certificate  now  granted  to  all  graduates. 

II.  College  Certificates 

The  Provisional  College  Certificate  is  issued  to  any  graduate 
and  entitles  him  to  teach  the  subjects  indicated  on  the  face  of  the  cer- 
tificate for  a  period  of  three  years.  Three  years  of  successful  teaching 
and  the  completion  of  six  semester  hours  of  additional  approved  train- 
ing enable  the  holder  to  receive  the  Permanent  College  Certificate.  This 


Indiana  Catalogue  Number  27 

is  a  life  certificate  to  teach  the  subjects  in  his  field  in  any  public  school 
in  the  state.  The  six  required  hours  must  include  two  or  three  hours 
in  education  and  the  remainder  in  a  field  in  which  the  candidate  is  al- 
ready certificated. 

In  order  to  add  a  subject  to  a  certificate  in  the  secondary  field 
credentials  showing  the  satisfactory  completion  of  eighteen  semester 
hours  of  approved  preparation  in  that  subject  must  be  presented. 

The  holder  of  a  college  certificate  in  the  secondary  field  or  in  one 
of  the  special  fields  who  wishes  to  secure  certification  in  the  elementary 
field  must  secure  thirty  semester  hours  of  approved  training  in  work 
definitely  organized  for  the  preparation  of  elementary  school  teachers, 
including  at  least  six  semester  hours  of  student  teaching  in  the  ele- 
mentary field.  This  preparation  must  be  in  addition  to  the  requirements 
for  the  degree.  This  means  that  courses  used  to  meet  the  degree  re- 
quirements in  the  secondary  or  special  field  cannot  be  used  again  to 
apply  on  certification  in  the  elementary  field. 

The  holder  of  a  college  certificate  in  the  elementary  field  may  be 
certificated  for  teaching  in  the  secondary  field  by  adding  thirty  hours 
in  secondary  education,  including  six  hours'  student  teaching  in  the  sec- 
ondary grades,  and  securing  eighteen  hours  of  approved  credit  in  a  major 
field  or  in  each  of  several  major  fields  of  secondary  education. 

CHANGES  IN  CURRICULA 

During  the  last  three  years  all  curricula  have  been  reorganized.  All 
new  curricula  went  into  effect  in  September,  1937,  excepting  Home  Eco- 
nomics, which  will  go  into  effect  in  September,  1939.  Students  who  en- 
tered before  those  dates  and  teachers  in  service  who  are  working  toward 
their  degrees  need  not  be  disturbed  by  the  changes,  as  their  previous 
work  will  be  adjusted  to  the  new  requirements  without  loss  of  credits 
unless  they  change  from  one  curriculum  to  another.

THE  SUMMER  SESSIONS 

The  Summer  School  has  become  an  integral  part  of  the  year's  work. 
Teachers  in  service  and  students  in  regular  attendance  can  secure  in  the 
summer  session  six  or  nine  hours  credit  toward  any  certificate  or  toward 
graduation  in  any  curriculum.  High  school  graduates  who  have  not  pre- 
viously attended  college  may  attend  summer  school,  but  they  are  not  en- 
couraged to  do  so.  The  courses  are  planned  primarily  for  those  who  have 
had  previous  work  and  an  effort  is  made  to  meet  all  reasonable  requests 
of  teachers  who  are  working  toward  higher  certification  or  toward  grad- 
uation. The  groups  whose  interests  are  kept  particularly  in  mind  in 
planning  the  work  of  the  summer  session  are 

1.  Holders  of  any  type  of  limited  certificate  who  are  seeking  stand- 
ard certification  or  graduation 

2.  Graduates  of  two-  or  three-year  curricula  who  are  working  to- 
ward degrees  in  their  fields 

3.  Holders  of  degrees  who  wish  to  secure  the  six  hours  required  to 
make  the  Provisional  College  Certificate  permanent,  or  who  wish 
to  secure  additional  certification 

4.  Students  in  regular  attendance  who  wish  to  secure  additional 
credit  or  who  wish  to  make  up  failures  or  incompletes  received  the 
previous  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  se- 
mester. The  Summer  School  Bulletin  will  be  mailed  to  anyone  desiring 
more  complete  information  regarding  the  courses  to  be  offered. 

Dates.  The  regular  summer  session  will  open  on  June  19  and  close 
on  July  28.  A  post  session  of  three  weeks  will  open  on  July  31  and  close 
on  August  18.  It  will  thus  be  possible  for  a  student  to  secure  six  se- 
mester hours  credit  in  the  regular  term  and  an  additional  three  hours  in 
the  post  session.

STUDENT  ORGANIZATIONS 

In  order  that  students  may  have  opportunities  to  develop  their  own 
avocational  interests  and  desirable  qualities  of  leadership,  initiative,  and 
co-operation,  the  college  sponsors  a  great  variety  of  student  organiza- 
tions. 

STUDENT  PARTICIPATION  IN  SCHOOL  GOVERNMENT 

Men's  Student  League.  This  group  made  up  of  all  the  men  students 
cooperates  v^^ith  the  administration  in  managing  the  affairs  of  men 
students. 

Resident  Women's  League.  This  organization  composed  of  all  women 
boarding  students  aids  in  directing  the  affairs  of  all  women  students 
who  live  in  the  dormitories  or  cottages. 

Non-Resident  Student  League.  This  club  promotes  social  contacts 
and  activities  of  non-resident  students. 

Student  Co-operative  Association.  The  student  activity  fee  paid  by 
each  student  is  used  to  finance  the  Student  Co-operative  Association. 
The  activities  of  this  organization  include  musical  presentations,  lec- 
tures and  entertainments  and  athletics  such  as  football,  basketball  and 
intramural  sports.  One  of  the  large  items  of  expenditure  is  the  opera- 
tion of  the  school  bus.  Frequent  educational  excursions  are  made  to 
places  of  historical  interest  and  dramatic  presentations  are  seen  in  Pitts- 
burgh. Each  student  receives  a  copy  of  the  college  annual,  "The  Oak," 
and  the  college  paper,  the  "Indiana  Penn."  The  bookroom  under  the 
management  of  this  association  sells  supplies  to  students  and  furnishes 
them  books  at  a  discount  considerably  below  list  price.  Each  Saturday 
evening,  when  there  is  no  special  entertainment,  an  orchestra  is  provided 
for  dancing  in  Recreation  Hall.  During  the  past  year  the  Student  Co- 
operative Association  furnished  the  funds  for  approximately  thirty  stu- 
dents to  attend  student  conferences  at  various  points  in  Pennsylvania. 
Another  new  feature,  also  sponsored  by  this  Association,  was  the  intro- 
duction of  winter  sports,  tobogganing  and  skiing. 

Student  CounciL  A  small  number  of  students  elected  to  be  members 
of  the  Student  Council  acts  as  an  intermediary  between  students  and  the 
administration. 

RELIGIOUS  ORGANIZATIONS 

Religious  Influence.  This  college  is  not  denominational  in  any  sense. 
Its  authorities,  however,  aim  to  make  it  a  place  of  positive  Christian 
influence.  To  this  end  students  are  urged  to  attend  the  church  of  their 
own  choice  on  Sunday  mornings. 


30  Teachers  College  Bulletin 

The  Y.  M.  C.  A.  and  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  aid  in  the  religious  culture  of 
all  students  in  the  college.  Every  effort  is  made  to  promote  Sunday  ob- 
servance. Students  are  thus  encouraged  to  become  Christian  workers, 
and  college  life  is  made  to  approximate  the  social  ideals  of  Christian 
life.  There  is  a  vesper  service  each  Sunday  evening,  which  all  boarding 
students  attend.  A  fine  recreational  room  has  been  set  apart  for  the 
boys  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  and  one  for  the  girls  of  the  Y.  W.  C.  A. 

In  addition  to  these  organizations  there  are  the  Newman  Club,  open 
to  Catholic  students  and  faculty,  and  the  Lutheran  Students  Association. 

DEPARTMENTAL  GROUPS 

The  Art  Department  sponsors  the  Art  Club  and  the  Tuesday  Night 
Art  Activities  to  stimulate  and  direct  the  interest  in  art  both  within  and 
outside  the  Art  Department. 

The  Department  of  Business  Education  provides  for  members  of  its 
department  the  Freshmen  Junior  Chamber  of  Commerce  and  the  Junior 
Chamber  of  Commerce.  These  organizations  serve  social  and  develop- 
mental purposes  within  the  department. 

The  Departments  of  Elementary  and  Secondary  Education  both  have 
clubs  to  stimulate  interest  in  their  fields  and  unite  students  with  com- 
mon interests. 

The  English  Department  sponsors  the  American  College  Quill  Club 
to  encourage  creative  literary  activity,  the  Robinson  Reading  Choir  for 
those  interested  in  choral  reading,  and  the  Leonard  Literary  Society 
which,  open  to  faculty,  students  and  townspeople,  secures  many  profes- 
sional performances  for  Indiana  in  addition  to  its  weekly  meetings.  A 
small  annual  fee  charged  each  member  makes  it  possible  to  present  each 
year  some  of  the  best  professional  literary  talent.  Recently  such  inter- 
nationally famous  people  as  Boake  Carter,  Christopher  Morley,  and  Hugh 
Walpole  have  been  heard.  This  year  the  society  presented  the  Jitney 
Players  and  the  Hedgerow  Players.  The  English  Department  also  spon- 
sors the  Indiana  Penn,  a  weekly  newspaper,  and  The  Oak,  the  yearbook. 

In  the  Geography  Department,  there  are  the  Geography  Majors 
Club,  an  organization  which  is  open  to  all  geography  majors  and  minors; 
the  Alpha  Omega  Geographers,  a  selected  group  of  outstanding  geogra- 
phy majors,  which  furthers  professional  work  and  social  contacts  in  the 
field,  and  the  Travel  Club,  composed  of  geography  majors  and  other  in- 
terested students,  which  holds  no  regular  meetings,  but  instead  takes 
one  or  two  trips  a  year.  This  year  (1938-39)  the  Travel  Club  is  going  to 
the  New  York  World's  Fair. 

The  Home  Economics  Club  of  the  Home  Economics  Department  aims 
to  develop  leadership  and  resourcefulness  and  to  provide  opportunity  for 
participation  in  professional  and  social  activities. 

The  Mathematics  Club  is  organized  to  create  general  interest  in 
mathematics  and  to  give  instruction  in  running  a  club. 


Indiana  Catalogue  Number  31 

The  Music  Department  sponsors  a  larj^e  variety  of  activities,  some 
required  of  music  students,  others  elective.  A  few  are  open  to  all  stu- 
dents of  the  school  interested  in  music.  These  groups  are  the  Music 
Club,  College  Choir,  Concert  Band,  Lyric  Choir,  Marching  Band,  Men's 
Glee  Club,  Orchestra,  String  Quartet,  and  Vesper  Choir. 

In  the  past  year  the  Physical  Education  Department  has  enlarged 
its  club  program  of  sports.  At  present,  those  students  especially  inter- 
ested in  a  particular  sport  activity  may  band  themselves  together  for  the 
promotion  of  this  sport.  Under  the  direction  of  the  Physical  Education 
Department,  in  addition  to  the  Red  Cross  Life-Saving  Club,  Bicycle  Club 
and  the  Rifle  Club,  are  found  the  Women's  Athletic  Association,  formed 
to  promote  interest  and  skill  in  sports,  to  develop  a  well-rounded  athletic 
program  and  to  foster  recreation  and  good  fellowship  and  the  Women's 
Varsity  I  Club  to  organize  intramural  activities  for  girls  and  to  supply 
sport  managers  for  W.  A.  A.  activities.  Other  activities  that  lend  them- 
selves easily  to  club  work  are:  skiing,  tobogganing,  archery  and  roller 
skating.    These  are  in  the  initial  stages  of  organization. 

In  the  Science  Department  the  Biology  Club  attempts  to  stimulate 
professional  interest  among  the  students  through  association  with  each 
other  in  special  problems,  and  to  afford  opportunity  to  follow  special 
interests,  the  David  C.  Alter  Scientific  Society  to  stimulate  research  in 
the  field  of  physical  sciences,  the  Out-of-Doors  Club,  to  learn  how  to  en- 
joy the  natural  environment,  and  the  Photography  Club,  to  further  in- 
terest in  photography  through  supervised  activities. 

The  groups  in  the  Social  Science  Department  consist  of  the  Inter- 
collegiate Conference  on  Government  which  studies  state  and  national 
problems  and  discusses  these  at  a  state  meeting  at  Harrisburg;  The  In- 
ternational Relations  Club,  open  only  to  Social  Studies  majors;  the  Open 
Forum,  open  to  all  students,  discussing  national  and  international  affairs; 
and  the  Social  Science  Club,  a  departmental  group  interested  in  gaining 
a  wider  knowledge  and  appreciation  of  the  field. 

Class  Organizations.  Each  class.  Freshman,  Sophomore,  Junior, 
Senior,  has  an  organization  and  holds  meetings  when  necessary. 

FRATERNITIES 
Honorary  Fraternities.  In  1928  a  Chapter  of  Alpha  Phi  Gamma,  a 
national  honorary  journalistic  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  serv^ed  on  the  staffs  of  college  publications  and  who  maintain 
a  high  scholastic  standing.  The  Beta  Gamma  Chapter  of  Kappa  Delta  Pi, 
an  educational  honor  fraternity  open  to  both  men  and  women,  was  inaug- 
urated in  1928.  Only  juniors  and  seniors  of  high  scholastic  attainments 
are  eligible  to  membership.  Pi  Omega  Pi,  an  honorary  national  fraternity 
for  men  and  women  in  business  and  commercial  training,  is  represented 
on  the  campus  by  Kappa  chapter  formed  in  1929.  Beta  chapter  of  Gamma 
Rho  Tau,  an  honor  fraternity  for  men  in  Business  Education,  was  or- 
ganized in  1929. 


32  Teachers  College  Bulletin 

Educational  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  has  been  active  on  the  campus  as  a  local  organiza- 
tion since  1908.  A  chapter  of  Phi  Sigma  Pi,  a  national  educational  fra- 
ternity, was  established  at  Indiana  April  30,  1929.  It  took  the  place  of 
Omega  Chi  Fraternity,  a  local  organization  founded  in  1909.  The  Alpha 
Chapter  is  at  Kirksville,  Missouri.  The  Pi  Chapter  of  Sigma  Tau  Gamma, 
a  national  educational  and  social  fraternity,  was  established  on  Novem- 
ber 8,  1930.    The  Alpha  Chapter  is  at  Warrensburg,  Missouri. 

Interfraternity  Council.  This  small  group  meets  occasionally  to 
regulate  interfraternity  affairs. 

SORORITIES 

Educational  Sororities.  Seven  national  professional  educational 
sororities  have  chapters  on  the  campus:  Alpha  Sigma  Alpha,  Sigma 
Sigma  Sigma,  Delta  Sigma  Epsilon,  Alpha  Sigma  Tau,  Pi  Kappa  Sigma, 
Pi  Delta  Theta,  and  Theta  Sigma  Upsilon.  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  opportuni-

GENERAL  INFORMATION 

SUGGESTIONS  FOR  ENTERING   STUDENTS 

Prelim in<iry.  The  prospective  student  should  send  for  an  application 
blank.  This  blank  should  be  properly  filled  out  and  returned  with  the 
room  reservation  deposit  of  ten  dollars.  Rooms  are  assipcned  in  the  order 
in  which  applications  are  received  and  as  nearly  in  accordance  with  their 
preference  as  possible. 

Entrance  Tests.  The  entrance  examinations  for  applicants  who  were 
in  the  lower  half  of  their  graduating  classes  will  be  held  on  Friday,  July 
14,  from  10:30  A.M.  to  12:00  M.,  and  1:00  P.M.  to  2:00  P.M.  Every  ap- 
plicant who  ranked  in  the  lower  half  of  his  class  should  make  applica- 
tion in  time  to  take  the  examination  on  that  date.  Another  examination 
for  those  who  did  not  apply  before  the  July  date  will  be  given  on  Monday, 
September  11,  from  1:15  P.M.  to  3:45  P.M.,  but  the  chances  for  admis- 
sion will  be  greatly  decreased  if  they  wait  until  that  time.  This  test  will 
include  all  students  whose  high  school  transcripts  have  not  been  received, 
as  well  as  those  in  the  lower  half  of  their  graduating  class. 

Room  Assignments.  All  entering  boarding  students  are  required  to 
pay  ten  dollars  in  advance  for  the  reser\'ation  of  a  room.  This  is  due 
when  the  application  and  personal  record  is  filed.  This  blank  will  be  sent 
on  request  to  any  prospective  student.  The  deposit  is  credited  on  the 
following  semester's  contingent  fee.  Students  in  school  at  the  end  of  any 
year  who  reserve  rooms  for  the  following  year  must  pay  the  room  reser- 
vation deposit  by  June  15,  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  18. 

Advance  reservation  deposits  may  be  returned  to  students,  provided 
three  weeks  before  the  opening  of  the  semester  they  notify  the  college  of 
their  intention  not  to  attend,  and  provided  the  request  for  a  refund  is  ap- 
proved by  the  Board  of  Trustees  and  the  Department  of  Revenue. 

The  time  betw^een  terms  is  very  short  for  getting  the  dormitories 
again  in  readiness  for  students.  For  this  reason  the  residence  halls  are 
not  open  until  registration  day. 

Rooms  are  not  held  for  students  beyond  the  first  day  of  the  semester 
or  term  unless  arrangements  have  previously  been  made. 

Freshman  Dormitory.  In  order  to  better  orientate  Freshmen  women 
a  section  of  John  Sutton  Hall  has  been  set  aside  as  a  Freshman  Dormi- 
tory. It  is  hoped  that  this  plan  will  bring  better  adjustments  to  the 
problems  of  college  life. 

Student  Supplies.  All  students  who  live  in  school  dormitories  and 
men  students  who  are  assigned  to  rooms  in  private  homes  or  in  the  cot- 


34  Teachers  College  Bulletin 

tages  must  provide  themselves  with  blankets  as  the  college  and  house 
mothers  furnish  only  the  linen  and  bedspread.  Such  students  must  pro- 
vide window  curtains,  soap,  towels,  and  needed  toilet  articles. 

All  students  who  take  meals  in  the  college  dining  room  should  bring 
with  them  an  adequate  supply  of  table  napkins. 

Students  must  also  furnish  their  own  gymnasium  costumes.  The 
Physical  Education  Department  requires  regulation  gymnasium  and  pool 
equipment  which  can  be  purchased  in  the  college  bookstore  at  a  saving  to 
students.  The  required  costume  for  men  costs  about  $3.00.  The  cost  for 
women  is  a  little  higher. 

Some  students  may  wish  to  use  the  swimming  caps  they  already  pos- 
sess. The  following  colors  will  be  required:  for  beginners,  red;  for  those 
who  can  swim  a  little,  green;  for  the  swimmers,  blue;  and  for  life  savers, 
white. 

Baggage.  All  baggage  is  delivered  to  the  basement  of  John  Sutton 
Hall,  and  porters  will  transfer  it  directly  to  the  students'  rooms.  Lug- 
gage should  be  plainly  marked  with  the  student's  name  and,  if  the  as- 
signment has  been  made,  should  also  bear  the  room  number.  Students 
living  in  school  cottages  should  mark  their  baggage  with  the  street  ad- 
dress; the  college  truck  delivers  it  to  the  rooming  place. 

Registration  Day.  All  freshmen  and  other  new  students  except  post- 
graduates will  report  for  registration,  classification  and  other  activities, 
Tuesday,  September  12.  Boarding  students  should  pay  their  fees  and 
receive  their  programs  on  Tuesday  morning;  commuters  and  day  stu- 
dents, on  Tuesday  afternoon.  All  other  students  register  on  Thursday, 
September  14.  On  arriving  at  the  college  on  this  date,  new  students  will 
be  given  a  mimeographed  sheet  of  directions  telling  them  in  detail  the 
procedure  to  be  followed  in  being  registered  and  programmed.  In  gen- 
eral the  following  directions  should  be  followed: 

I.  Boarding  Students: 

A.  Go  to  the  library,  fill  enrollment  card,  and  pay  your  fees. 

B.  Women,  go  to  Recreation  Hall  where  the  Dean  of  Women  will 
give  you  your  room  assignment  and  keys.  Men,  go  to  the  gymnasium 
where  the  Dean  of  Men  will  have  charge. 

C.  Take  all  baggage  checks  to  the  college  bookstore  and  pay  for 
delivery  of  the  baggage. 

D.  Have  your  programs  made  by  teachers  assigned  to  particular 
groups.  These  teachers,  the  rooms  in  which  programs  will  be  made,  and 
the  group  assigned  to  each  will  be  clearly  indicated  in  the  sheet  of  di- 
rections. 

E.  Secure  books  and  other  school  materials  at  the  college  co-op- 
erative bookstore.  No  books  should  be  purchased  until  after  the  classes 
have  met  and  a  correct  list  of  necessary  books  has  been  made  out. 


Indiana  Catalogue  Number  S6 

F.  Students   who   are   transferring   from   other  schools   and   who 
have  not  had  their  credits  evaluated  should  see  the  Dean  of  Instruction. 

G.  The  President's  office  is  always  at  the  service  of  new  students. 

II.  Day  Students: 

Follow  the  procedure  given  above,  omitting  B  and  C. 

Freshmen  Week.  An  orientation  program  for  all  entering  students 
is  planned  for  the  first  week  before  other  students  arrive.  Specific  infor- 
mation will  be  sent  to  each  student  after  enrollment  has  been  made. 

The  Handbook.  The  Student  Council  publishes  a  handbook  which  is 
given  to  entering  students.  This  handbook  contains  information  concern- 
ing the  school  set-up  and  routine  and  is  a  great  help  to  the  student. 


BOARDING  STUDENTS 

The  Indiana  State  Teachers  College  is  primarily  a  dormitory  school. 
It  admits  as  day  students  only  those  who  live  with  parents  or  near  rela- 
tives. 

Young  men  students  room  in  school  cottages  or  in  fraternity  houses 
and  take  their  meals  in  the  college  dining  room.  A  few  men  students  live 
in  private  homes. 

Guests.  Students  and  teachers  are  responsible  for  meals  of  their 
guests  at  current  transient  rates.  All  visitors  staying  in  the  college 
buildings  over  night  must  be  registered  with  the  Dean  of  Women  by  the 
person  or  persons  entertaining  them.  This  privilege  applies  only  to  young 
women  of  school  age,  and  should  be  used  only  on  Saturday  night,  when 
it  is  possible  to  use  a  bed  of  someone  who  is  away  for  the  weekend. 
Guests  are  under  the  same  regulations  as  students  and  the  hostess  is 
responsible  for  her  guest.  Students  may  accompany  mothers  or  older 
relatives  to  a  hotel  for  meals  or  for  the  night,  arrangements  having  been 
made  in  advance  with  the  Dean  of  Women.  The  buildings  are  closed  to 
guests  at  10  P.M. 

Vacation  Charges.  Students  remaining  at  the  school  during  Thanks- 
giving, Christmas,  Easter,  or  summer  vacation  will  be  charged  at  the 
transient  rates 

Visits.  Success  demands  concentration  of  thought.  This  is  prevented 
by  frequent  visits  at  home  or  elsewhere,  and  usually  time  thus  spent 
greatly  hinders  the  progress  of  the  student.  The  student  must  decide 
between  sacrificing  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,  heaters  or  cookers,  or  other  equipment 
for  producing  fire  or  heat  in  their  rooms.  The  school  provides  a  candy 
kitchen  which  affords  opportunity  for  cooking  and  making  candy. 


36  Teachers  College  Bulletin 

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  owned  and  used  by  every 
student. 

An  excellent  laundry  and  ironing  room  with  modern  equipment  is 
maintained  in  the  basement  of  John  Sutton  Hall  for  the  free  use  of 
women  students. 

Room  Assignments.  Students  in  school  at  the  close  of  any  school 
year  have  rooms  assigned  to  them  as  follows:  If  women  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  women  desire  the  same  room,  the  groups  draw  lots  for  it.  This 
process  continues  until  all  women  in  school  are  assigned  to  rooms  for  the 
following  year. 

Regulations  Governing  Resident  Students.  General  supervision  of 
the  personal  and  social  welfare  of  w^omen  students  is  exercised  by  the 
dean  of  women  and  hall  teachers.  Student  body,  faculty  and  administra- 
tion co-operate  to  maintain  high  standards  of  social  life  and  conduct.  Re- 
strictions which  are  put  upon  the  freedom  of  students  are  felt  to  be 
necessary  for  successful  study  and  living  conditions  and  for  the  well- 
being  of  the  group. 

Enrollment  in  the  college  implies  an  agreement  on  the  part  of  each 
student  to  comply  with  the  customs  of  the  college  and  to  obey  the  neces- 
sary regulations.  Participation  in  government  is  vested  in  the  Resident 
Women's  League  of  which  all  resident  women  are  members  automatical- 
ly. Representatives  from  each  hall  group  make  up  the  League  Council, 
which  serves  as  a  clearing  house  for  discussing  problems  and  making 
recommendations  concerning  dormitory  problems.  The  college  hand- 
book, given  to  entering  students,  contains  detailed  information. 

A  student  is  under  college  jurisdiction  from  the  time  of  arrival  in 
Indiana  in  September  until  June,  with  the  following  exceptions:  Thanks- 
giving, Christmas  and  spring  vacation,  and  at  all  other  times  after  she 
reaches  her  own  home. 

For  going  home  week  ends,  first  and  second  year  students  must  have 
a  permission  sent  from  home  for  each  visit,  or  a  form  card  on  file  cover- 
ing any  week  end.  All  women  are  expected  to  register  when  off  campus 
for  evenings  and  week  ends,  and  to  cancel  registration  when  they  return. 
For  first  and  second  year  students,  week  ends  spent  elsewhere  than 
home  must  be  with  parental  approval  and  college  consent.  A  permit 
from  parents  to  ride  in  automobiles  must  be  filed  in  the  office  of  the  dean 
of  women  at  the  beginning  of  each  school  year.  This  applies  to  all  women 
students.  The  college  reserves  the  right  to  withhold  privileges  whenever 
it  is  for  the  best  interest  of  the  college  or  student  concerned.

DAY   STUDENTS 

Students  whose  homes  are  not  in  Indiana  and  who  desire  to  live  with 
relatives  in  Indiana  as  day  stadeyits  must  have  the  ajrproval  of  the  Presi- 
dent in  advance  of  registration.  Under  no  circumstances  are  students 
permitted  to  room  or  board  with  private  families,  not  immediate  rela- 
tives.  Violation  of  this  regulation  will  result  in  loss  of  credit  for  work. 

Accommodations  for  day  students  are  provided  on  the  ground  floor 
of  John  Sutton  Hall  and  consist  of  a  large  women's  lounge  attractively 
furnished,  a  dining  room,  and  lounge  for  men.  Also  a  quiet  room  equipped 
with  cots  has  been  set  aside  for  the  use  of  women  who  may  care  to  rest 
or  sleep  during  the  day.  Additional  library  facilities  recently  made  avil- 
able,  provide  pleasant  study  conditions  for  non-resident  students,  and 
racks  and  shelves  in  lounges  offer  space  for  wraps  and  books.  Students 
through  their  House  Committee  assume  responsibility  for  care  and  use 
of  rooms  set  aside  for  them.  The  administration  welcomes  suggestions 
for  making  day  students  more  comfortable  and  happy. 

SELF  HELP  AND  LOAN  FUND 

National  Youth  Administration.  During  the  last  four  years  Indiana, 
in  common  with  other  colleges,  has  had  available  under  the  N.  Y.  A. 
through  the  federal  aids  to  education  considerable  opportunity  for  stu- 
dents to  secure  work  that  would  aid  in  paying  their  expenses.  Whether 
this  aid  will  be  extended  for  the  coming  year  is  not  known.  If  it  is,  there 
will  be  open  to  a  number  of  worthy  students  who  otherwise  cannot  attend 
school  an  opportunity  to  earn  part  of  their  expenses.  If  the  federal  aid 
is  not  continued,  there  will  be  very  few  opportunities  for  students  to 
secure  work  at  Indiana  that  will  aid  in  paying  their  expenses.  The  few 
part-time  positions  that  are  available  are  usually  filled  by  students  who 
have  been  here  two  or  three  years. 

Loan  Fund.  The  Jane  E.  Leonard  Memorial  Loan  Fund  was  begun 
several  years  ago  and  has  been  built  up  largely  through  the  work  of  fac- 
ulty and  students.  During  the  last  few  years  most  of  the  alumni  units 
have  come  to  the  aid  of  the  fund,  and  some  have  made  very  liberal  con- 
tributions. The  available  loan  value  has  now  reached  about  sixteen 
thousand  dollars. 

The  governing  board  in  charge  of  granting  loans  consists  of  the  Dean 
of  Instruction,  Dean  of  Men,  Dean  of  Women,  and  an  alumni  member. 
The  plan  in  operation  provides  for  granting  of  loans  to  juniors  and  sen- 
iors, with  interest  at  four  per  cent,  with  the  regulation  that  not  more 
than  $100.00  be  loaned  to  a  student  during  one  semester  and  that  the 
maximum  sum  loaned  to  any  student  shall  not  exceed  $200.00. 

State  Scholarships.  Holders  of  State  Scholarships  may  attend  State 
Teachers  Colleges  and  use  the  scholarship  award  toward  meeting  their 
expenses. 

Work.  A  feiv  students  are  permitted  to  work  in  private  families  for 
their  room  and  board. 


38  Teachers  College  Bulletin 

ADVISORY  SYSTEM 
A  carefully  worked-out  advisory  system  is  in  use  at  Indiana.  Every 
student  is  assigned  to  a  faculty  adviser  who  assists  the  student  in  keep- 
ing a  check  on  his  work  and  advises  him  in  regard  to  his  program,  his 
outside  activities,  his  scholarship,  and  other  matters.  Two  or  three  times 
each  semester  a  report  is  made  to  each  adviser  concerning  the  students 
in  his  group  who  are  not  doing  passing  work. 

GRADE  REPORTS 

As  soon  as  possible  after  the  close  of  each  semester  a  full  report  on 
the  previous  semester's  work  is  given  every  student  on  a  record  card  pro- 
vided by  the  student.  Reports  of  students'  grades  are  not  sent  to  the 
parents  but  are  given  directly  to  the  students.  It  is  assumed  that  stu- 
dents who  are  sent  to  college  are  mature  and  trustworthy  enough  to  re- 
port correctly  to  their  parents  the  facts  in  regard  to  their  grades.  If 
they  have  not  reached  this  stage  of  maturity  and  integrity  they  would 
seem  to  lack  qualities  highly  desirable  in  prospective  teachers.  Letters, 
however,  are  sent  to  parents  of  those  students  whose  grades  are  below 
passing  or  near  the  margins. 

GRADUATION 
Commencement  Exercises.  One  commencement  is  held  each  year  at 
the  close  of  the  second  semester.  Only  those  students  who  have  com- 
pleted all  requirements  for  graduation  will  be  permitted  to  take  part  in 
the  commencement  exercises.  The  regiilation  cap  and  gown  sanctioned 
by  the  Intercollegiate  Bureau  and  Registry  of  Academic  Costume  are 
worn  by  seniors  upon  the  proper  occasions. 

Alumni  Association.  Since  its  organization  the  school  has  graduated 
nearly  ten  thousand  five  hundred  students  from  its  various  curricula. 
Sixteen  hundred  ninety-eight  degrees  have  been  granted  since  Indiana 
was  made  a  college  in  1927.  The  love  and  devotion  of  these  alumni  is  an 
important  factor  in  the  future  development  of  the  college.  At  the  annual 
meeting  in  May,  1933,  the  constitution  of  the  Alumni  Association  was 
changed  so  that  it  is  now  organized  on  a  representative  basis  with  the 
local  unit  in  each  community  sending  its  representatives  to  the  meetings 
of  the  executive  council,  which  meets  twice  each  year.  In  this  way  it  is 
hoped  that  every  graduate  of  the  school  may  be  brought  into  relation- 
ship with  the  school  through  membership  in  an  active  local  unit. 

PLACEMENT  SERVICE 
Placement.  The  service  of  the  Placement  Bureau  is  available  to  all 
students  of  the  college  who  receive  certification.  The  directors  of  the 
various  departments  take  an  active  interest  in  the  placement  of  their 
graduates.  Co-ordination  of  effort  is  secured  through  a  central  commit- 
tee. The  Bureau  supplies  credentials  to  employers  who  are  seeking  ap- 
plicants for  positions  and  serves  as  a  center  where  graduates  may  keep 
their  records  up  to  date.  Alumni  are  using  the  Bureau  increasingly. 
Teaching  positions  a/re  not  guaranteed  by  the  college.  Indiana's  record 
of  placement,  however,  is  one  of  the  very  best  in  Pennsylvania.

fest in  the  course  of  development  and  learning;  to  gain  a  functional 
knowledge  of  childhood  behavior  and  activities  which  per  se  are  both 
scientifically  interesting  and  meaningful;  to  gain  a  mastery  of  those 
facts  and  principles  which  will  aid  in  a  better  understanding  of  many 
later  adult  problems  and  dynamisms,  a  knowledge  of  which  should  not 
only  render  the  child's  educative  process  more  significant  but  lead  to 
his  greater  happiness  and  progress  as  well;  and  to  apply  the  principles 
of  learning  to  the  child's  educative  process.  Observations  of  children 
and  case  studies  are  made.  Prerequisites:  General  Psychology,  Educa-

ENGLISH 

Througfh  its  core  courses  required  of  all  students,  the  English  De- 
partment offers  service  to  the  whole  college.  The  English  Laboratory 
affords  opportunity  for  remedial  work  to  all  who  need  it;  here,  by 
regular  attendance  a  student  may  maintain  and  improve  his  skills;  or 
by  occasional  attendance  he  may  secure  help  in  a  temporary  difficulty. 
Because  of  the  need  of  good  English  usage  on  the  part  of  teachers  of 
all  subjects,  candidates  for  student  teaching  must  reach  a  satisfactory 
standard.  See  page  24.  At  the  end  of  the  Sophomore  year,  a  general 
English  test  is  given  to  all  students. 

Although  only  twenty-four  hours  are  required  for  English  majors, 
it  is  highly  desirable  to  have  a  wider  background  as  a  preparation  for 
the  teaching  of  English.  Most  universities  require  thirty  hours  of 
undergraduate  English  as  prerequisite  to  work  toward  a  Master's  de- 
gree in  this  field. 

Broadcasting  Activities.  In  March  1938,  Indiana  State  Teachers 
College  began  a  series  of  radio  programs  from  Station  WHJB  at  Greens- 
burg,  Pennsylvania.  This  experiment  in  radio  broadcasting  gives  our 
students  an  insight  into  the  possibilities  of  this  new  educational  agency 
and  affords  parents  and  schools  of  our  service  area  an  opportunity  to 
become  acquainted  with  the  activities  and  personalities  of  the  college. 
A  Radio  Committee  in  co-operation  with  the  credit  course  in  Radio 
plans  the  programs.  Since  December,  1938,  the  monthly  programs  have 
been  broadcast  from  the  college  campus. 

Speech  3  semester  hours  credit 

This  course  offers  the  following  units:  Voice,  Diction,  Phonetics, 
Posture,  Original  Speech  Making,  Interpretative  Reading,  Play  Pro- 
duction and  Parliamentary  Practice.  The  Play  Production  unit  car- 
ries extra-curricular  projects  also. 

English  I  3  semester  hours  credit 

Although  this  is  primarily  an  introductory  course  in  composition, 
the  activities  break  up  into  five  layers  built  simultaneously:  seeing 
persons,  objects,  ideas  clearly;  learning  words  and  using  them  sensi- 
tively; writing;  diagnosing  oneself  for  individual  errors  and  learning 
how  to  correct  them;  developing  good  reading  habits. 

English  II  3  semester  hours  credit 

This  course  is  a  continuation  of  English  I.  Here,  however,  atten- 
tion is  centered  upon  problems  arising  in  the  writing  of  long  papers: 
fair  treatment  of  facts,  defensible  generalizations;  logical  division  of 
material  and  orderly  presentation  of  it.   Prerequisite:  English  I. 


50  Teachers  College  Bulletin 

Literature  I  3  semester  hours  credit 

This  course  is  designed  to  help  students  read  widely  for  enjoy- 
ment, understand  and  evaluate  what  they  read,  develop  discriminating 
tastes,  recognize  social  and  ethical  implications.  While  material  of  all 
types  is  selected  largely  from  contemporary  British  writing,  students 
are  encouraged  to  read  independently,  to  discover  literary  preferences, 
and  to  establish  habits  of  leisure  reading  for  the  future. 

Literature  II  3  semester  hours  credit 

This  course  is  designed  to  teach  students  how  to  read  within  the 
field  of  American  literature  of  different  types.  While  the  important 
writings  in  our  national  background  are  studied,  much  emphasis  is 
placed  on  current  literature  as  the  reflection  and  interpretation  of 
present-day  life  in  America.  Along  with  this  students  gain  an  exten- 
sive reading  experience  and  also,  it  is  hoped,  a  desire  for  continued 
acquaintance  with  American  literature. 

In  addition  to  the  core  courses  above,  the  requirement  for  English 
__cei±ifi.ca,tion  includes  Advanced  Composition  and  English  Philology,

HEALTH  AND  PHYSICAL  EDUCATION 

The  Physical  Education  Department  conducts  classes  in  health  edu- 
cation and  the  teaching  of  health  and  organizes  the  physical  education 
activities,  intramural  sports  and  varsity  athletics. 

HEALTH  EDUCATION 

The  new  curriculum  uses  the  term  Health  Education  to  include  both 
the  activity  courses  and  the  personal  and  community  hygiene  courses 
prescribed  for  freshmen.  The  introductory  courses  present  the  basic 
knowledge  essential  to  healthful  living  and  also  develop  familiarity 
with  the  fundamentals  of  rhythmic  activities  and  the  fundamental  skills 
needed  for  successful  participation  in  individual  and  team  sports.  All 
students  take  one  year  of  these  prescribed  activities,  adapted  to  their 
needs  and  capacities. 

Health  Education  I  (physical  Education  and  Personal  Hygiene) 

2  semester  hours  credit 
The  purpose  of  the  course  is  to  incorporate  the  theory  of  health  with 
the  practice  of  it.  This  course  includes:  (1)  follow-up  work  after  the 
entrance  medical  examination  in  the  fall,  (2)  the  study  of  individual 
health  habits  and  attitudes,  and  (3)  problems  of  personal  and  commun- 
ity health. 

Health  Education  II  (Physical  Education  and  Personal  Hygiene) 

2  semester  hours  credit 
This  course  logically  follows   Health  Education  I.   Follow-up  work 
in  hygiene  is  continued  i.  e.,  any  physical  defects  that  were  not  over- 
come in  the  first  semester  receive  attention.  The  major  emphasis,  how- 
ever, is  placed  on  home,  school,  and  community  aspects  of  health. 

Teaching  of  Health  2  semester  hours  credit 

This  course  acquaints  the  student  with  the  essential  facts  that 
children  of  the  elementary  and  secondary  schools  need  in  order  to  de- 
velop the  habits,  attitudes,  and  knowledge  necessary  for  healthful  living. 
Instruction  is  given  in  the  proper  examination  of  the  eyes  and  ears  of 
school  children.  Demonstrations  of  the  use  of  the  audiometer  and  other 
equipment  employed  for  these  purposes  are  given  in  the  psychological 
clinic. 

Tuberculin  Test.  For  the  last  three  years  the  tuberculin  test  has 
been  given  to  entering  freshmen  and  made  available  for  such  upper 
classmen  as  were  interested  in  taking  advantage  of  this  scientific  method 
of  early  diagnosis  of  a  preventable  disease.  This  test  is  now  a  regular 
requirement  for  the  entering  freshman  class  and  available  to  all  other 
students  who  care  to  take  it.  The  State  Deparment  of  Healh  conducts 
these  tests  at  no  cost  to  students. 

PHYSICAL  EDUCATION  ACTIVITIES 

As  a  requirement  for  graduation  all  students  must  participate  in 
physical  activities  each  semester,  except  when  taking  a  prescribed 
physical  education  course  or  when  doing  student  teaching. 


58  Teachers  College  Bulletin 

Physical  Education  Activities  no  credit 

To  satisfy  this  state  requirement  an  elective  program  of  physical 
activities  has  been  inaugurated  as  follows:  individual  sports,  rhythmic 
activities,  club  activities,  men's  intramural  program,  Women's  Athletic 
Association  intramural  program,  and  varsity  program. 

Individual  Sportsi.  These  activities  include  swimming,  golf,  archery, 
tennis,  badminton,  bicycling,  winter  sports,  and  other  minor  games  for 
women  and  for  men,  and  in  addition  to  the  above,  boxing  and  wrestling. 

Clubs.  Any  of  the  above  sports  may  be  organized  and  participated 
in  by  groups  or  clubs. 

Rhythmic  Activities.  These  courses  give  opportunity  to  select  a 
dancing  activity  in  which  the  student  has  a  keen  interest  or  specific 
ability.  Social,  Clog,  Tap  and  Folk  Dancing  are  offered  for  both  men 
and  women.  Backgrounds  of  the  Modern  Dance  and  Modern  Dance  Forms 
are  offered  to  women  only. 

Intramurals.  A  well-organized  and  varied  program  of  sports  and 
athletics  is  incorporated  in  the  intramural  program  for  men.  This  group 
offers  all  men  students  a  chance  to  learn  the  fundamentals  of  major 
sports,  and  through  participation,  makes  available  to  large  numbers  of 
students,  the  physical,  mental,  and  social  benefits  that  come  from  organ- 
ized team  play.  The  program  has  been  expanded  to  meet  the  needs  of 
the  new  curricula  in  the  college,  so  that  fall,  winter  and  spring  sports 
are  now  available.  Six-man  football,  basketball,  volleyball,  boxing, 
wrestling,  swimming,  pingpong,  badminton,  tennis,  and  Softball  follow 
in  their  proper  sequence.  Intramural  Sports  Days  were  introduced  two 
years  ago  in  both  basketball  and  volleyball.  This  not  only  broadens  the 
scope  of  the  program  but  also  affords  the  educational  opportunity  of 
seeing  another  college  in  action. 

Women's  Intramural  Sports.  The  women's  athletic  activities  pro- 
vide opportunity  for  college  women  to  learn  a  variety  of  sport  skills. 
Each  activity,  including  instruction,  practice,  and  competition  extends 
approximately  over  a  nine-week  period.  Intercollegiate  Sports  Days  oc- 
casionally permit  women  to  compete  with  other  colleges.  This  opportun- 
ity to  be  hosts  to  visiting  teams  and  guests  at  another  college  provides 
desirable  social  and  educational  experiences. 

Varsity  Athletics.  Clean,  wholesome  athletic  rivalry  has  a  very 
vital  place  in  the  training  of  teachers.  It  provides  opportunity  for  the 
man  of  exceptional  ability  to  utilize  his  skill.  He  represents  the  college 
in  inter-competition;  and  through  contacts,  adjustments,  and  sacrifices 
necessary  during  his  training  period  and  in  the  games,  his  educational 
vision  is  broadened.  Varsity  athletics  also  provide  a  rallying  point  around 
which  students,  faculty,  alumni  and  friends  express  their  loyalty  and 
support  their  Alma  Mater.  Varsity  teams  in  football,  basketball,  baseball 
and  tennis  are  at  present  organized.  The  program  for  the  future  plans 
to  include  track,  wrestling,  volleyball  and  swimming.

teacher-training  institutions.  The  problems  of  maintaining  friendly  re- 
lations among  the  nations  of  the  Americas  w^ill  be  made  easier  if  a 
mutual  understanding  of  their  peoples  and  institutions  can  be  brought 
about.

Workshop  Coursie.  This  course  is  organized  for  the  purpose  of  giv- 
ing experience  vi^ith  the  materials  of  instruction  and  the  planning  of 
activities  in  a  selected  area  of  the  social  studies.  It  includes  a  study  of 
the  underlying  philosophy  of  the  social  studies  and  selected  current 
courses  of  study.  Opportunity  w^ill  be  given  for  each  member  of  the 
class  to  select  activities,  analyze  the  learnings  involved,  and  actually 
prepare  and  carry  out  those  activities  that  children  are  expected  to 
undertake.

DEPARTMENT  OF  ART 

At  Indiana  the  four-year  course  with  the  degree,  Bachelor  of 
Science  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,  education  courses,  and  electives  are  required  so  that  gradu- 
ates from  this  department  have  broad  enough  background  to  be  intelli- 
gent teachers  of  their  special  subject. 

Method.  An  art-structure  (design)  method  rather  than  a  drawing 
method  of  teaching  art  is  used.  By  this  building-up  method  or  syntheses, 
students  use  the  art  elements  (line,  notan,  and  color)  to  build  their 
compositions  with  the  art  principles  (dominance,  rhythm,  balance)  as 
guides.  Whether  drawing  still  life,  painting  landscape,  constructing  in- 
teriors, throwing  bowls,  modeling  figures,  designing  costumes,  weaving 
textiles,  or  making  jewelry  the  important  thing  is  design,  and  skill  and 
the  processes  are  secondary.  Where  thoughtful  activity  and  feeling  end, 
the  procedure  ceases  to  be  art  training.  Children  or  adults  have  little 
use  for  mere  drawing  but  unlimited  use  for  design.  With  other  subjects 
of  the  curriculum  design  can  hold  its  own  for  its  intrinsic  value  in  de- 
veloping fine  feeling,  judgment,  thinking  power,  and  creative  expression. 

The  Art  Club.  At  Indiana  there  is  an  art  club  that  numbers  all 
art  students  and  faculty  in  its  membership.  This  club  has  become  known 
for  its  good  fun  and  for  the  class  of  entertainment  given  not  only  at  its 
monthly  meetings,  but  for  the  college  at  large.  Its  programs  have  been 
widely  varied:  picnics,  carnivals,  impersonations,  productions  of  original 
one-act  plays,  masquerades,  costume  balls,  studio  parties,  travel  talks, 
lectures  on  dress  and  on  psychology  of  color,  readings  of  poetry  and 
humor,  trips  in  the  college  bus  to  "The  International"  and  to  the  Associ- 
ated Artists'  Exhibition.  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  different 
fields  of  art.  The  presentation  of  the  medal  occurs  at  the  banquet 
in  May. 

Exhibitions.  In  the  exhibition  and  conference  room  there  is  con- 
stantly a  showing  of  some  of  the  best  work  of  the  department  in  draw- 
ing, painting,  modeling,  plaster  sculpture,  interior  design,  and  work  in 
pewter,  brass,  copper  and  silver;  or  exhibitions  from  outside  the  de- 
partment. Of  the  latter  there  have  been  exhibitions  of  modern  American 
sculpture,  watercolors,  photography;  the  best  prints  of  the  year;  Eu- 
ropean posters;  art  work  of  Viennese  children;  twenty  oils  by  contemp- 
orary American  artists;  the  College- Art  Association  exhibition  of  stu- 
dent work;  W.  P.  A.  oils,  watercolors,  and  prints;  a  doll  show  in  historic, 
national,  and  character  costumes;  figure  studies,  paintings,  and  litho- 
graphs by  members  of  art  staff.

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  fround  floor  facing  east 
campus  are  the  pottery  and  kiln  rooms.  The  finest  equipment  best  suited 
to  its  purpose  has  been  installed. 

Standing.  With  these  facilities  and  an  efficient  staff  of  eight  mem- 
bers, Indiana  stands  in  the  foremost  rank  in  art  education.  Great  effort 
is  made  to  train  art  teachers  and  supervisors  so  that  they  may  catch 
the  vision  of  the  possibilities  in  art  teaching  in  the  present  age.  Because 
of  a  high  degree  of  cultivation  such  art  teachers  aim  so  to  teach  that 
finer  choices  in  selection  of  houses,  furniture,  and  clothing,  and  better 
arrangements  in  homes,  offices,  stores,  gardens,  and  clothing  will  be 
made  by  the  children  while  they  are  children  and  when  they  grow  to 
be  adults.  Both  children  and  adults  who  have  received  such  teaching 
will  also  know  better  how  to  spend  the  increasing  number  of  leisure 
hours.

teacher  feel  that  creative  expression  will  aid  in  obtaining  appreciation, 
experience  is  given  in  creative  work,  such  as  lettering,  weaving,  model- 
ing, carving,  etc.  Tolerance  for  and  understanding  of  trends  in  contem-

DEPARTMENT  OF  BUSINESS  EDUCATION 

Opportunities.  The  State  Department  of  Public  Instruction  has 
especially  designated  the  State  Teachers  College,  Indiana,  Pennsylvania, 
as  one  in  which  teachers  of  business  for  the  high  schools  of  the  Com- 
monwealth 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  supervise  or  teach 
business  subjects  in  any  of  the  high  schools  of  the  Commonwealth  and 
are  certificated  accordingly.  An  excellent  opportunity  is  available  here 
for  men  and  women  of  high  caliber  who  possess  the  ability,  personality, 
and  ambition  requisite  for  success  in  this  type  of  work. 

Equipment.  This  department  is  well  equipped  throughout  with  a 
full  supply  of  modern  office  machines.  Adding  machines,  calculating 
machines,  banking  machines,  multigraphs,  mimeographs,  mimeoscopes, 
addressographs,  dictaphones,  files  and  cabinets,  and  other  up-to-date 
efficiency  devices  of  modern  business  give  the  students  a  practical  knowl- 
edge of  the  time-savers  and  system  units  found  in  modern  business. 
Their  uses  are  taught  and  mastered  in  this  department.  Those  who 
elect  these  courses  become  very  proficient  in  the  manipulation  of  such 
machines  before  graduation. 

Business  Practice  Department.  The  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  prac- 
tical business  experience  may  be  obtained  in  this  department. 

Practical  Experience  Requirements.  These  requirements  are  a  vital 
and  necessary  part  of  the  prospective  teacher's  preparation  and  are  an 
integral  part  of,  and  in  addition  to,  the  courses  outlined  in  the  cur- 
riculum. Credit,  under  this  requirement,  is  given  for  actual  business 
experience  previously  gained  and  also  for  that  acquired  in  the  business 
practice  department.    The  requirements  are  as  follows: 

The  equivalent  of  six  months  of  store  practice,  secretarial  practice, 
bookkeeping  practice,  clerical  practice,  or  a  combination  of  these  or 
other  business  contacts,  acquired  at  places  and  under  conditions  ap- 
proved by  the  director  of  this  department.  This  experience  should  be 
preferably  in  the  field  or  fields  in  which  the  student  is  contemplating 
certification. 

Student  Teaching.  Each  student  in  training  in  the  Department  of 
Business  Education  receives  more  than  the  state  requirements  in  hours 
of  actual  practical  teaching  and  observation.  This  is  not  a  makeshift 
plan  merely  for  the  purpose  of  getting  credit.  A  number  of  teaching 
centers  are  conducted  in  connection  with  some  of  the  largest  high 
schools  within  convenient  reach.    To  these  teaching  centers  the  students 


Indiana  Catalogue  Number  77 

are  sent  for  one  full  semester  (eighteen  weeks)  of  the  senior  year  for 
their  practice  teaching.  The  teacher  holds  a  regular  position  in  the 
high  school  and  carries  a  full  program  of  classes,  extra-curricular  acti- 
vities, and  any  other  regular  school  duties.  The  work  is  supervised 
and  criticized  by  experienced  supervisors  who  are  teacher  members  of 
the  college  faculty  of  this  department,  and  also  by  supervisors  of  ex- 
ceptional training  and  ability  furnished  by  the  teaching  centers.  Every- 
thing is  done  to  afford  those  in  training  as  much  actual  teaching  exper- 
ience and  as  many  teaching  contacts  as  possible  before  graduation. 

The  Chamber  of  Commerce.  There  is  organized  in  connection  with 
the  Department  of  Business  Education  a  Chamber  of  Commerce.  Fre- 
quent opportunity  is  afforded  for  public  discussion  on  current  popular 
topics  applicable  to  the  work.  This  organization  fosters  the  formation 
and  development  of  commercial  clubs  and  similar  organizations  in  the 
high  schools,  wherever  the  assistance  is  desired,  and  helps  to  promote 
the  work  of  such  organizations.  The  officers  of  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce are  elected  from  the  members  of  the  student  body  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Business  Education.  The  work  is  supervised  by  a  faculty  mem- 
ber of  the  Department. 

Expenses.  The  entire  school  expense  for  a  school  year  of  thrity-six 
weeks  will  amount  to  about  $400  for  boarding  students.  This  will  cover 
board,  room,  laundry,  books,  and  department  fees.  (Also  see  pages  17-20.)

Explanation  of  the  Curriculum.  This  is  a  teachers  college.  No  short 
courses  of  any  kind  are  offered  in  this  department  for  the  training  of 
secretaries,  bookkeepers,  or  any  other  vocational  workers.  We  offer  only 
the  full  four-year  curriculum  leading  to  the  teaching  profession.  The  full 
four  years  must  be  completed  before  the  teaching  certificate  may  be 
awarded. 

All  courses  that  are  indicated  by  the  asterisk  (*)  are  elective. 

All  courses  that  are  not  indicated  as  elective  are  required  of  all  stu- 
dents in  the  Business  Education  Department. 

Students  may  pursue  the  work  of  the  entire  curriculum,  or  they  may 
elect  to  pursue  work  according  to  their  aptitudes,  as  follows: 

1.  The  Complete  Program  leads  to  certification  in  all  three  fields, 
thus  affording  certification  in  all  of  the  high  school  business  subjects. 
Those  who  possess  aptitudes  that  indicate  success  in  stenographic,  ac- 
counting, and  retail  selling  work  may,  if  they  wish,  pursue  this  complete 
program. 


78  Teachers  College  Bulletin 

2.  The  Stenographic  PMeld  includes  all  of  the  required  courses  of  the 
curriculum  and  all  elective  courses  indicated  by  the  letter  "S".  Any  other 
elective  courses  indicated  by  the  asterisk  (*)  may  be  omitted  and  in  their 
places  may  be  elected  courses  from  any  other  department  of  the  college. 
Certification  may  be  received  for  these  elective  courses  from  other  de- 
partments, if  the  specific  requirements  for  certification  in  these  courses 
are  met.  Those  who  pursue  this  program  will  be  certificated  to  teach  all  of 
the  business  courses  in  the  high  school  except  bookkeeping  and  retail 
selling. 

3.  The  Bookkeeping  Field  includes  all  of  the  required  courses  of  the 
curriculum  and  all  elective  courses  indicated  by  the  letter  "B".  Other 
elective  courses  indicated  by  the  asterisk  (*)  may  be  omitted,  and  in 
their  places  may  be  elected  courses  from  any  other  department  of  the 
college.  Certification  may  be  obtained  for  these  courses  from  other  de- 
partments if  the  specific  requirements  for  certification  in  these  courses 
are  met.  Those  who  pursue  this  program  will  be  certificated  to  teach  all  of 
the  business  courses  in  the  high  school  except  shorthand,  typewriting, 
and  retail  selling. 

4.  The  Retail  Selling  Field  includes  all  of  the  required  courses  of 
the  curriculum  and  all  elective  courses  indicated  by  the  letter  "R".  Oth- 
er elective  courses  indicated  by  the  asterisk  (*)  may  be  omitted  and  in

the  business  courses  in  the  high  school  except  shorthand,  typewriting,

5.  The  Combination  Program  combines  either  the  Stenographic  and

and  Retail  Selling  Fields.  With  any  combination  program,  the  certifica- 
tion appropriate  to  both  of  the  two  groups  combined  will  be  awarded. 
Certain  electives  in  other  departments  of  the  college  also  may  be  car- 
ried with  this  program,  in  place  of  the  courses  listed  in  the  field  that  is 
omitted.  The  usual  certification  requirements  apply  also  to  these 
electives. 

It  is  possible  to  elect  Typewriting  III  and  IV  and  become  certificated 
to  teach  typewriting  with  either  of  the  fields  or  a  combination  of  the 
fields. 

Elective  Fields.  The  fields  of  English,  social  studies,  mathematics, 
science,  geography,  education,  art,  and  music  are  especially  recommend- 
ed, from  which  courses  may  be  elected  by  students  in  business  education. 
All  electives,  however,  are  determined  by  the  choice  of  the  student,  and 
by  the  approval  of  the  Dean  of  Instruction  of  the  college  and  the  Direc- 
tor of  the  Department  of  Business  Education. 

Our  Standards.  Only  those  who  attain  "A"  or  high  "B"  standings, 
and  whose  aptitudes  indicate  success  in  the  fields  elected,  should  elect 
more  than  one  field. 


Indiana  Catalogue  Number  79 

Those  whose  standings  fall  below  "C"  may  not  graduate  or  be 
certificated. 

To  elect  the  Complete  Program  in  the  third  semester  a  student  must 
have  maintained  at  least  a  "C"  average  during  the  first  two  semesters, 
and  must  have  a  grade  of  "C"  or  better  in  the  following  courses:  Eng- 
lish I  and  II,  Typewriting  I  and  II,  Business  Mathematics  I  and  II,  Book- 
keeping and  Accounting  I,  and  Shorthand  I. 

To  elect  the  Stenographic  Field  in  the  third  semester,  a  student 
must  have  a  grade  of  "C"  or  better  in  English  II,  Typewriting  II,  and 
Shorthand  I. 

To  elect  the  Bookkeeping  and  Accounting  Field  in  the  third  semes- 
ter, a  student  must  have  a  grade  of  "C"  or  better  in  the  following 
courses:  Business  Mathematics  II,  Bookkeeping  and  Accounting  I. 

To  elect  the  Retail  Selling  Field  in  the  third  semester,  a  student 
must  have  a  grade  of  "C"  or  better  in  the  following  courses:  Speech, 
English  II  and  Economic   Geography  I. 

Those  whose  standings  fall  below  "C"  may  not  graduate  or  be 
certificated.  It  should  also  be  understood  that  those  who  fall  below  "B" 
standings  are  considered  unsatisfactory  to  be  recommended  for 
teaching.  Since  high  school  standards  have  been  greatly  raised,  school 
officials  are  more  particular  than  ever  before  concerning  the  qualifica- 
tions of  those  whom  they  employ.  They  insist  on  high  scholastic  achieve- 
ment, good  personal  appearance,  attractive  personality,  freedom  from 
physical  defects,  and  other  qualities  that  should  be  carefully  considered 
by  all  those  contemplating  this  type  of  professional  work. 

Only  a  small  proportion  of  high  school  graduates  can  meet  these 
very  strict  requirements.  Even  after  this  very  frank  explanation  and 
announcement,  every  year,  from  the  upper  half  of  the  high  school  group, 
a  large  number  of  students  who  fail  to  measure  up  to  the  standards  are 
enrolled.  In  the  past,  only  about  one-third  of  the  students  of  the  selected 
entering  class  have  met  the  requirements  and  have  been  able  to  com- 
plete the  work  to  graduation.  This  should  not  discourage  those  who 
really  have  the  qualities  required.  It  may,  however,  prevent  those  who 
lack  certain  of  the  primary  requisites  for  developing  into  a  high  type 
teacher,  from  being  disappointed  later. 

If  any  are  in  doubt  concerning  their  fitness  for  this  type  of  work, 
they  should  consult  their  high  school  principals  and  guidance  oflScers 
and  ask  them  for  a  frank  and  honest  statement  about  their  fitness.  They 
should  also  have  all  data  concerning  their  personal  and  scholastic  quali- 
fications sent  to  the  college.  They  will  be  notified  as  to  the  date  for 
interviews,  at  which  time  the  matter  can  be  discussed  as  frankly  and 
wisely  as  experience  will  dictate. 

Application  for  Enrollment.  Enough  has  been  given  in  these  few 
pages  to  furnish  a  glimpse  into  the  Department  of  Business  Education. 
A  definite,  limited  number  of  the  best  qualified  high  school  graduates 
are  accepted  each  year.  Those  who  can  qualify  and  who  desire  to  make 
application  for  entering  the  Department  of  Business  Education  should 
get  their  applications  in  early,  in  order  to  insure  a  reservation.

DEPARTMENT  OF  HOME  ECONOMICS 

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,  which 
is  recognized  for  entrance  to  graduate  courses  by  all  leading  colleges 
and  universities.  Our  graduates  receive  a  Provisional  College  Certi- 
ficate valid  for  any  vocational  or  general  home  economics  position  in 
the  public  schools  of  Pennsylvania.  The  students  in  this  curriculum 
may  minor  in  some  field  in  which  they  show  interest  and  ability. 

Home  Economics  Equipment.  The  Home  Economics  Department 
is  located  on  the  top  floor  of  the  Arts  Building.  Here  are  spacious  lab- 
oratories, classrooms,  dining  room,  unit  kitchen,  laundry,  store  rooms, 
conference  room,  rest  rooms,  and  offices.  The  department  has  been  care- 
fully planned  to  have  all  the  conveniences  of  modern  architecture.  The 
equipment  is  modem  and  adequate  in  every  way.  Superintendents  who 
are  planning  home  economics  departments  in  new  high  schools  are  in- 
vited to  inspect  the  equipment  and  the  plan  of  our  laboratories  in  this 
building  and  in  the  Laboratory  School. 

Home  Management.  The  Home  Management  House  is  located  on 
the  campus.  It  is  a  large  airy  house,  attractively  and  appropriately  furn- 
ished. It  has  the  atmosphere  of  a  comfortable  and  hospitable  home.  The 
junior  students  live  in  this  house  and  take  Home  Management  III  under 
the  direction  of  a  supervisor  who  lives  with  them.  The  management 
of  this  home  is  based  on  family  needs,  expenditures,  and  relationships. 

A  baby  aged  about  three  months  is  placed  in  the  Home  Manage- 
ment House  each  September  for  related  work  in  child  care.  All  Home 
Management  House  students  who  live  there  one  semester  have  experi- 
ence in  caring  for  this  child. 

Nursery  School.  In  connection  with  the  Child  Development  Course 
the  Home  Economics  Department  has  a  nursery  school  which  meets  one 
afternoon  per  week.  Children  aged  two  to  four  years  inclusive  are  en- 
rolled in  the  nursery  school.  This  affords  laboratory  for  the  course  in 
Nursery  School  Management  and  techniques. 

Practical  Experience.  This  phase  of  the  training  is  most  vital. 
Summer  projects  planned  and  rated  by  regular  members  of  the  college 
staff  afford  opportunities  in  practical  experience  in  the  roles  of  home 
making  and  professional  life. 

Home  Economics  Club.  The  Home  Economics  Club  affiliated  with 
the  State  and  National  Home  Economics  Association.  This  affiliation  is 
a  means  of  keeping  informed  on  club  activities  of  national  importance. 
All  home  economics  students  who  make  application  for  membership  in 


i    z 


Indiana  Catalogue  Number  89 

the  club  are  admitted  and  enjoy  all  the  rights  and  privileges  upon  the 
payment  of  their  dues.  The  club  aims  to  develop  a  social  interest  among 
the  students  in  the  department.  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  enjoy  together  picnics,  parties,  and  dances.  One 
large  formal  banquet  is  given  for  the  freshmen  and  sophomores  in  the 
first  semester.  A  notable  social  occasion  in  the  second  semester  is  the 
"Merry-Go"  for  the  juniors  and  seniors.  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.  Membership  in  two  extra-curricular 
activities,  each  year  is  required  by  the  college. 

Student  Teaching.  Student  teaching  in  Home  Economics  is  done 
in  the  junior  and  senior  high  schools  of  Indiana  and  JohnstowTi  and  in 
the  vocational  home  economics  departments  at  Barnesboro,  Blairsville, 
and  Elders  Ridge.  A  full  semester  of  student  teaching  is  required  of  all 
candidates  for  graduation.  This  work  is  carefully  supervised  by  the 
supervisor  of  student  teaching  in  the  Department  of  Home  Economics.

DEPARTMENT  OF  MUSIC  EDUCATION 

The  State  Teachers  College,  Indiana,  Pennsylvania,  is  authorized 
by  the  State  Department  of  Public  Instruction  to  offer  the  four-year 
curriculum  for  the  preparation  of  supervisors  and  special  teachers  of 
music. 

Opportunities  In  Music  Education.  The  increased  recognition  of 
music  as  a  fundamental  part  of  our  educational  program  is  serving  to 
emphasize  to  superintendents  and  school  boards  the  importance  of  select- 
ing as  the  music  teacher  an  individual  of  strong  character  and  personal- 
ity and  one  who  has  a  soundly  developed  musicianship  and  a  broad 
educational  outlook. 

The  demand  for  well-prepared  teachers  capable  of  forceful  leader- 
ship in  music  is  such  as  to  offer  excellent  opportunity  for  future  success 
to  superior  high  school  graduates  whose  interest  and  abilities  lead  them 
to  select  the  teaching  of  music  as  their  profession. 

The  college  has  the  faculty  and  equipment  to  offer  and  successfully 
carry  out  every  phase  of  the  preparation  and  development  of  public 
school  music  teachers  and  supervisors. 

Requirements  For  Admission.  Applicants  for  entrance  to  the 
Music  Department  meet  the  general  requirements  for  admission  as  given 
on  page 

In  addition  the  applicant  should  meet  the  following  special  re- 
quirements which  are  considered  necessary  for  successful  work  in  the 
music  department: 

1.  The  possession  of  an  acceptable  singing  voice. 

2.  Musical  sensitivity  in  such  matters  as  pitch  discrimination, 
tonal  and  rhythmic  memory,  harmonic  sensitivity. 

3.  A  musical  background  as  a  result  of  private  study  or  a  suc- 
cessful public  school  music  experience. 

4.  The  ability  to  play  the  piano  or  some  orchestral  instrument 
representing  at  least  two  years  of  study. 

The  personal  interview  for  music  students  is  given  by  the  Director 
of  the  department.  These  interviews  have  proved  to  be  helpful  in 
aiding  the  applicant  to  determine  his  fitness  for  the  work  in  the  music 
curriculum.  Since  we  have  more  candidates  than  can  be  accepted,  it  is 
advisable  to  make  application  for  admission  to  the  Registrar  of  the  col- 
lege and  arrange  for  an  interview  early  in  the  new  year. 

Expenses.    The  entire  expense  for  a  school  year  of  thirty-six  weeks

Student  Teaching.  Students  in  the  Music  Curriculum  at  Indiana 
gain  their  knowledge  of  and  experience  with  teaching  situations  through 
three  definite  steps  and  procedures: 

1.  By  observation  periods  in  the  training  school  during  their 
freshman  and  sophomore  years.  These  observations  are  to  learn  techni- 
ques while  taking  prerequisite  courses  in  college,  not  to  professionalize 
subject-matter. 

2.  In  observation  and  actual  teaching  assignments  in  the  training 
schools  during  the  junior  year  as  part  of  the  courses  in  Methods  and 
Materials.  These  assignments  are  limited  in  scope  but  definite  as  to 
requirements  and  responsibility. 

3.  In  twelve  semester  hours  in  Student  Teaching  required  during 
the  senior  year.  This  work  is  done  in  the  elementary  and  junior  high 
schools  located  on  the  college  campus  and  in  the  elementary,  junior,  and 
senior  high  schools  of  Indiana. 

All  Student  Teaching  is  done  under  careful,  personal  supervision 
of  critic  teachers. 

The  student  teaching  assignments  are  made  so  that  each  student 
may  have  experience  in  teaching  in  each  of  the  six  elementary  grades 
for  a  period  of  nine  weeks  and  for  a  period  of  eighteen  weeks  in  the 
secondary  schools.  Personal  responsibility  for  the  quality  and  progress 
of  the  music  work  in  each  of  these  assignments  gives  the  young  teacher 
a  background  of  experience  in  meeting  and  solving  the  psychological 
and  technical  problems  common  to  the  varying  age  levels. 

APPLIED  MUSIC 
Individual  Instruction 

The  curriculum  in  music  is  designed  to  give  opportunity  for  inten- 
sive preparation  in  musical  content  and  skills.  Continuous  study  of  voice, 
piano,  orchestral  and  band  instruments  is  required  as  an  integral  part 
of  a  well-planned  series  of  musical,  cultural  and  professional  courses. 


98  Teachers  College  Bulletin 

Such  study  is  essential  in  the  preparation  of  teachers  who  are  to  func- 
tion as  leaders  in  music  education,  and  this  work  is  offered  to  all  stu- 
dents of  the  music  curriculum  without  additional  cost  beyond  the  regu- 
lar contingent  fee  for  the  music  curriculum.  These  courses  may  be  taken 
as  electives  by  students  in  other  departments  upon  payment  of  addi- 
tional fee.  (See  page  number  18.) 

Vocal  Instruction.  A  course  designed  to  develop  the  student's  abil- 
ity to  the  maximum  through  the  physical,  psychical,  spiritual  and  emo- 
tional media.  Basic  fundamentals  and  principles  are  stressed  through 
correct  posture,  breathing,  and  coordination  or  "free  activity".  Musician- 
ship is  developed  through  interpretative  analysis  of  rote  and  art  songs. 

Piano  Instruction.  Piano  performance  is  correlated  with  all  of  the 
theoretical  aspects  of  the  music  curriculum.  The  development  of  funda- 
mentals of  good  technic;  sight  reading  ability;  fundamentals  of  touch; 
correct  interpretation;  accompanying  of  vocalists  and  instrumentalists 
are  all  emphasized. 

String  Instruction.  This  course  embraces  a  progressive  procedure 
of  study  adapted  to  the  technical  and  musical  needs  and  abilities  of  the 
student.  Definite  achievement  in  the  playing  of  solo,  chamber  and 
orchestra  music  of  all  schools  of  musical  art  is  stressed. 

Wind  Instrument  Instruction.  This  work  provides  the  student  with 
abilities  and  knowledge  sufficient  to  deal  intelligently  with  instruction 
in  the  public  schools.  Technical  skill  is  developed  to  the  maximum  abil- 
ity of  each  student,  emphasizing  proper  tone  production,  development  of 
embouchure,  breath  control,  articulation,  and  fingering  technics  as  used 
by  professionals. 

Class  Instruction 

Since  class  instruction  predominates  in  the  teaching  of  public  school 
music,  it  is  imperative  that  prospective  music  teachers  become  familiar 
with  the  technics  of  class  management;  the  psychology  of  class  teaching; 
the  materials  available  for  class  teaching  in  voice,  piano  and  orchestral 
and  band  instruments.  Instruction  is  so  arranged  that  adequate  op- 
portunity to  participate  in  various  types  of  class  instruction  is  available 
to  students  without  extra  cost.  Individual  instruction  and  class  instruc- 
tion are  co-ordinated  in  a  flexible  manner  calculated  best  to  promote 
individual  progress. 

Group  Voice  Instruction  (For  Beginners).  The  course  is  organized 
to  further  the  development  of  musicianship  through  the  physical,  mental, 
and  artistic  media.  Fundamentals  and  basic  principles  are  stressed 
through  correct  posture,  breath  control,  co-ordination,  and  freedom  of 
the  vocal  mechanism.  Artistry  in  vocal  performance  is  stressed.  Method- 
ology emphasizes  the  ability  to  listen  intelligently;  give  constructive 
criticism;  master  vocal  terminology  related  to  experience;  develop  poise 
in  stage  and  class  room  deportment;  foster  intelligent  leadership  in 
music  education  through  initiating  small  choral  ensembles.

technic  necessary  for  good  tone  production.  Simple  folk  songs  and  the 
easier  selections  from  the  classics  are  used  for  solo  and  ensemble  play- 
ing. This  work  is  closely  correlated  with  theoretic  aspects  studied  in 
solfeggio  and  harmony  classes.

may  offer  these  media  for  solo  performance  in  place  of  an  orchestral 
instrument. 

CONCERTS,  RECITALS  AND  BROADCASTS 

Any  music  curriculum  which  fails  to  materialize  into  functional  use 
to  the  College  and  Community  is  sterile.  The  knowledge  and  skills  ac- 
quired must  be  adequately  translated  into  usefulness  through  individual 
and  ensemble  performances.  Much  experience  in  listening  to  and  partici- 
pating in  concerts,  recitals  and  broadcasts  is  provided  throughout  the 


102  Teachers  College  Bulletin 

school  year.  These  functions  may  occur  as  informal  studio  recitals, 
Music  Club  informal  recitals,  formal  evening  concerts,  Cooperative 
Festival  Programs,  Union  Church  Service  of  Music,  Faculty-Student 
Recitals,  Assembly  Music  Programs,  Service  Club  Concerts  and  other 
activities. 

MUSIC  EDUCATORS  CLUB  ACTIVITIES 

All  students  of  the  Music  Education  Department  are  automatically 
members  of  the  Music  Educators  Club.  This  organization  sponsors  trips 
to  Johnstown  and  Pittsburgh  to  hear  the  major  symphony  orchestras 
and  world  renowned  concert  artists  and  ensembles.  Each  class  within 
the  club  sponsors  student  recital-teas  periodically.  Such  activities  pro- 
vide opportunities  for  a  desirable  type  of  social  intercourse  and  educate 
students  in  accepting  responsibility  and  acquiring  social  graces  so  es- 
sential to  the  music  educator.  Student  representatives  elected  by  the 
Club  sit  in  as  part  of  the  Music  Education  Council  of  Faculty  and  Stu- 
dents, which  determines  the  policies  of  the  Department  within  the 
framework  of  the  College.
