12 STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE

PURPOSES AND OBJECTIVES OF THE COLLEGE

The first two years give a broad cultural foundation. The class work and social life of the college aim to develop re- sponsibility, poise, assurance, and independence. A well- trained teaching staff seeks to inculcate high ideals of teaching and strives to evolve a sound pilosophy of education as well as a thorough familiarity with the best public school teaching, in the Training School.

The major functions of Clarion State Teachers College are directed by four dominant purposes:

1. To provide a liberal and cultural education for all its students.

2. To prepare prospective teachers in the professional requirements of their vocation.

3. To exercise educational leadership and to provide services for the improvement of public education.

4. To adapt the functions of the College to the present needs of the community-at-large with respect to pre- professional training other than teacher training (Penn- sylvania State College Freshmen).

These purposes define the responsibilities of the College in serving the needs of the total College community which comprises one of the specified thirteen Pennsylvania State Teachers College Districts, within which there is no other institution of higher learning to serve either as a teacher training institution or as a cultural center for the people residing in the whole of five counties and in parts of three additional counties.

With the foregoing major purposes in mind, the College faculty considers the following four groups of objectives as necessary to the achievement of these purposes:

First. A liberal and cultural education shall be reflected in the total behavior patterns of each graduate of the College.

Evidence to such education includes skill in the correct and effective use of the English language, both oral and written.

Included also are attitudes of aesthetic appre- ciation, wholesome recreational practices, and evidence of healthful living and emotional sta-

CLARION, PENNSYLVANIA 13

bility; consequently it is important that each student develop a maturing philosophy of living which shall reflect qualities of objective thought, courage, patience, good will toward others, and enthusiasm for one's chosen work and its social significance.

The College seeks to develop in each student an acceptance of the method of science in dealing with problems with which he may be confronted.

The College seeks in each graduate evidence of a broad sense of civic responsility which is consistent with an acceptance of the basic social values of our democratic society. Such civic re- sponsibility implies an awareness of the signifi- cant problems of our civilization and a knowledge of their historical antecedents, plus the propen- sity to participate in and contribute to the pro- gressive improvement of social institutions. Sought also is evidence of each student's co-operative participation in the affairs of campus life, in the extra-curricular activities of the College pro- gram, as well as in supplementary activities sponsored by civic, social, and religious organi- zations of the community-at-large.

Of primary importance, and basic to the fore- going objectives, is the concern that each student should give evidence of adequate subject matter mastery in his major areas of study as well as an appreciation of the significant concepts in related areas.

Second: Preparation for the professional requirements of teaching shall give evidence that, the College per- sonnel services, have, so far as possible, selected for admission, students with promising teaching potentialities, and that each student has been effectively counselled in his selection of the area and level of teaching for which he is best fitted.

Each candidate for the teaching profession shall, upon completion of his study, display an understanding of the function of education as a social institution, a knowledge of educational aims, an appreciation of the problems and cur- rent issues in American education, as well as

14

STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE

CLARION, PENNSYLVANIA 15

familiarity with the present status of educational practice in this country.

Adequate experience in student leaching should equip each student with a working familiarity with the following aspects of educational practice: teaching procedures in his selected teaching fields, curriculum development procedures, individual stu- dent educational diagnosis, remedial teaching prac- tices, utilization of special interests and talents of students, administrative and supervisory prac- tices in the public schools, extra-curricular activities of students, and professional ethics of teachers.

As a culminating objective in professional train- ing, the maturing student should show a desire to improve his teaching efficiency through graduate study, travel and enrichment of experience.

The College continuously seeks practical means providing educational leadership and services to the public schools in the local area. The objectives in the realization of this purpose include intro- ducing newer practices in teaching by means of classroom demonstrations for visiting teachers, providing speakers and consultants for public schools, as well as making available to public schools displays of library and other educational materials and the facilities of an extensive edu- cational film loan library. Also provided is a con- tinuous program of in-service training for prac- ticing teachers by means of evening courses and special study. In addition, College staff members join with numerous committees of public school teachers in developing curriculum revision pro- grams and in other efforts such as construction plans for school buildings, planning for the pur- chase of educational equipment and supplies.

The college considers one of its most import- ant objectives in providing educational leadership to be that of recruiting for the profession young people; who, by considerations of personal endow- ment and attainment, promise to contribute most to the teaching profession.

16 STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE

Fourth: The fourth group of objectives are related to efforts of the College to adapt its functions to the present needs of the community-at-large. The pyramiding tasks of post-war college education require pre-professional and general education in greater demand than can readily be provided. Therefore, in response to the requests of the com- munity-at-large, the College, in co-operation with other institutions of higher learning, offers pre- professional and liberal-cultural education to those of the student population who elect to finish their professional training in non-teaching vocations at other institutions. The objectives for this type of training are chiefly those of mastery of specific courses in mathematics and science. Of course, the objectives of the liberal and cultural purposes of the College apply to these special students insofar as their programs may permit.

LOCATION

The college is situated in Clarion, Clarion County, one of the most beautiful spots among the hills of Western Penn- sylvania. The town has a population of 4,000 and is one of the most attractive towns in the State. Clarion is in the trout fishing and deer hunting area of the State. Its air is clear and invigorating; its surroundings are pleasant and health- giving. Clarion is situated upon a plateau overlooking the Clarion River. The College lies upon a slight elevation in the eastern part of the town. Clarion County lies at the junction of the coal, oil, and gas fields and is therefore surrounded by industrial areas of a very diversified character, thus facilitating study of industry without the necessity of living in it. Because of the glass sand and natural gas it is in the center of the State's glass manufacturing plants. Clays mined in the Clarion area support its pottery, tile, and fire brick industries.

CLARION, PENNSYLVANIA 19

The Library is located on the first floor of Seminary Hall. In its reading room are found reference books, over 200 current magazines and outstanding newspapers. There are 24,000 volumes in the library and 800 to 1000 new vol- umes are added each year. A recreational reading room has been provided for fiction and for general reading.

The books have been carefully selected to supplement classroom instruction, and to provide general and recrea- tional reading for the student teacher. An elementary school library in the Thaddeus Stevens Training School also serves the teachers and student teachers. Individual needs of faculty and students for books not found in the college collection are supplied through inter-library loan whenever possible.

The college renders special service to rural teachers in permitting them to borrow two box libraries a year. (Each box contains forty books).

20 STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE

HOUSING FACILITIES

Resident students are housed in two modern and well- equipped dormitories: Egbert Hall, the new young men's dormitory, is complete with a beautifully furnished lounge in early American maple; Becht Hall, the women student's residency has a large spacious lounge. The individual student rooms are of double and single types and each room is con- veniently furnished with running water.

There are distinct advantages to dormitory life. The student enjoys the educational adventure of group living with his own contemporaries and the building of friend- ships with a wide group of individuals. In such an environ- ment, the student can acquire certain important social graces and poise from a number of social situations. At the same time more careful supervision of study and rest habits result in improved scholastic standing.

BECHT HALL FOR WOMEN

Reservations for rooms in the dormitory are made through the Dean of Women until June 1st and after that date at the office of the President of the College. At the time of reserva- tion a $10 deposit fee should accompany the application.

Becht Hall houses 160 women. The majority of rooms are for two students although single rooms may be secured. The College provides a bed, mattress, two blankets, a dresser, a study table, chairs, and rugs for each student. The student is expected to furnish sheets (54 inches by 99 or 63 by 99), pillow cases (36 by 45), towels, curtains, personal articles, and extra bedding. Lavatory facilities are found on each floor. The student infirmary is located on the second floor and the college nurse has daily office hours from 8 to 12 and 1 to 5. On the first floor is the college dining hall in which all resident students take their meals. More than 400 persons can be accommodated in the dining hall.

The Dean of Women is in charge of the dormitory and she along with the Becht Hall Student Council sets up the rules and regulations which govern group living. The regu- lations are subject to the approval of the President.

EGBERT HALL FOR MEN

The dormitory for young men is located between Music Hall and the Harvey Gymnasium. It is supervised by the Dean of Men. It has hot and cold running water in each

CLARION, PENNSYLVANIA 21

room. Each room is furnished with beds, mattresses, two blankets per person, dressers, study tables, lounge chairs, straight chairs and a cabinet. The furniture is new and of a mahogany type. Each student furnishes sheets for single beds, pillow cases, towels, extra bedding, curtains, lamps, and personal effects. There are lavatories, showers, and lounge for the convenience of students.

LIVING OUTSIDE DORMITORIES

Xon-resident women students commute or live at home in town. Women students are not permitted to take their board and room outside the dormitory except in the homes of relatives, or unless they are doing their own housekeeping under the supervision of a house mother, or unless they are working for their room and board. In any of these cases per- mission must first be obtained from the President and the Dean of Women. This arrangement must be made in advance with the administration and the student may only live in homes previously approved by the College. Any change in residence during the school year must have the approval of the proper authorities before the change is made.

COMMUTING STUDENT'S ROOMS

A large attractive room on the first floor of Music Hall is furnished for commuting women students. Comfortable wicker furniture, cots for relaxation, mirrors, book cases, tables for lunches and study, and lavatory facilities are ar- ranged for the convenience of the student who commutes by bus or automobile from nearby communities.

In the basement of the chapel is a comfortable living and lunch room for the men students who commute. This room is furnished with chromium and leather furniture. The room is supplied with lockers for the protection of student property.

THE SOCIAL PROGRAM

A wide variety of social activities are distributed through- out the year to give students practice in correct social con- vention and to give them opportunity to assist and manage their social affairs.

Among the major events of the year are: The Cook Forest Picnic, Homecoming Day, Christmas, Pan-Hellenic and interfraternity dances, and Alumni Week-end. During the year there arc receptions, teas, banquets, luncheons,

and special dinners. These activities usually center in the Lounge, Dining Hall, and Social Room of Becht Hall. Sorority and fraternity functions also contribute to the objectives of the social program.

The social functions are financed by the students and managed by the Social Committee, which consists of equal student and faculty representation. Persons who are not enrolled in the College are admitted to parties, dances, and other events only as guests of regular students or faculty members.

In addition to the above-mentioned functions, various clubs have outings and informal parties. Students dance in the gymnasium Saturday evenings until 10:30 o'clock.

The Newman Club. A co-educational organization which provides for the spiritual and cultural heritage of Catholic students.

The Student Christian Association holds weekly meetings on Wednesday evening. The students plan and conduct their own meetings. Each semester the association holds a reception for new students.

In The Sunday Schools, connected with the various churches in Clarion, classes have been formed especially for college students.

Students are urged to make a choice of one of the churches in the town for regular attendance and to be present at the services in the churches so selected at least once each Sunday.

A dean of women and a dean of men devote time to student interests and social life. The students are surrounded by influences to make life happy, cultured, and worthwhile. (A conscious effort is made to have as few rules and restrictions as are consistent with the welfare of a large group living to- gether).

This plan of student participation has been very satis- factory. The College does not welcome as students young men or women who will not cheerfully accept and willingly conform to regulations demanded by the best interests of all.

The Art Club is an extra curricular organization main- tained for the purpose of benefiting those students who are particularly interested in some phase of art activity and to contribute what it can to the art of the community and college. Its program varies from year to year but sponsoring moving pictures on art subjects and bringing exhibitions of artistic merit to the College have been among its activities. When the Club is so inclined a trip to Pittsburgh is taken to visit the Carnegie Galleries and other buildings of interest. The Club tries to aid other organizations in the College, through the making of posters, lettering of certificates, and assisting with dance decorations. The Art and Press Club banquet is a colorful event in which both Clubs join.

Athletics For Women. Provision is made for partici- pation of all women students in many forms of athletics. Speedball, hockey, soccer, volleyball, basketball, baseball, tennis, archery, golf, hiking, and other sports are available for students. Minor activities in handball, badminton, shuffle- board and ping pong are likewise conducted.

24 STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE

Intramural competition for women is sponsored by the Women's Athletic Council which is an organization com- posed of women who have attained elegibility through a sport's point system. The intramural program furnishes an opportunity for those with officiating as well as playing abilities. Coaching advantages offered in this way have helped some girls with summer camp problems in the techniques of directing sports.

Development of desirable traits in sportsmanship, leader- ship and ability to work and play with others is promoted at all times. Personal skills and efforts toward their improve- ments by individuals are likewise encouraged through class and intramural participation. The purpose of the program is to make it functional in the life of the individual in school and after graduation.

Athletics For Men. In addition to the required courses in physical education, men may receive extra-curricular credit for participation in intercollegiate athletics and in intramural athletics. Clarion plays other colleges in football, basketball, baseball, tennis and sometimes maintains teams in track and wrestling. The men participate on intramural teams in touch football, basketball, baseball, soccer, volley- ball, badminton, table tennis, handball, and horseshoes. There are also available for exercise such facilities as skiing, toboganning, archery, shuffleboard, and hiking.

The College has six all-weather concrete tennis courts on the campus and a good athletic field that provides for intercollegiate football, baseball, track and field games, This is a four-acre tract located southwest of the main campus, conveniently near the gymnasium and easily accessible to the public who attend our intercollegiate events.

Through physical education courses, students are given the fundamental knowledge of various sports and taught how to coach these sports.

Varsity Club. The Varsity Club is made up of men of the College who have earned the "C" in some one of the intercollegiate sports.

Men's Athletic Council. The intercollegiate athletic program of the College is managed by the Athletic Council working in conjunction with the President. The Council consists of the Director of Physical Education and two other

CLARION, PENNSYLVANIA 25

faculty members appointed by the President of the College, one member from the Student Senate appointed by the Student Senate, and one student member elected by the Varsity Club.

Dramatics. The campus dramatic organization is known as the College Players. Opportunities for gaining experience in the various phases of play production are afforded througli the regularly scheduled club programs and through public productions. By means of discussion and demonstration, members gain a working knowledge of the principles of stage lighting, costuming, make-up, acting, and directing. Member- ship in the organization is determined by competitive try-outs open to all.

The Future Teachers of America Chapter is unique in that it is the only organization in Colleges that gives or has the possibilities of giving students the opportunity for active participation in local, state, and national educational associations.

Through the F. T. A. the student member establishes a professional citizenship he will wish to continue as long as he is a teacher. Student members receive each month the state and national educational publications.

F. T. A. projects and merit points are designed to give each member special training in leadership. Superintendents and placement bureaus report that membership in the F. T. A. and the number of merit points held are frequently the determ- ining factors in choosing between candidates for a teaching position.

Membership in F. T. A. should be esteemed an honor and an opportunity. The National Education Association believes that no greater honor can come to a student than to be recognized as a member of The Future Teachers of America.

The Geography Club offers students an opportunity to study phases of geography that are of greatest interest. Student members assume all responsibility of the club or- ganization and plan all programs for the interest of the group. Fvery member is given an opportunity to make some contri- bution to the success of the club. Planned field trips afford "Inervation of activities in the natural geographic setting.

Hostess Club. To provide an opportunity for women students who are interested in correct social usage and en- tertaining socially to learn about the subjects in which they

26 STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE

are especially interested, the Hostess Club was organized. The discussions at the meetings which are led by students or outside talent have centered about etiquette for dates, conduct at teas, introductions, flower arrangement, how to make friends, conversation, personal appearance, and such entertaining problems as correct silver, glassware, and china. Additional activities of the club have been taking social usage tests, putting on programs on correct form, planning and preparing a luncheon.

The International Relations Club, sponsored by Pi Gamma Mu, the national social science fraternity, has a definite objective: namely, to stimulate and intensify the interest of all students in the scientific and unbiased study of society and social problems. It is here that all social ques- tions may be discussed openly and freely.

Music Organizations. Musical organizations are A Cappella Choir, Band, Girls' Ensemble, and Men's Quartet. Students have an opportunity to continue their previous training in singing the best type of music available. The students in the A Cappella Choir make a number of trips to sing at high schools and churches each year.

Association For Childhood Education is a national organization whose purpose is to gather and disseminate knowledge of the movement for the education of young children, to promote the progressive type of education in kindergarten and primary grades, and to raise the standard of the professional training for teachers in this field. Teachers of kindergarten and primary grades, and administrators and students interested in the problems of early childhood education are eligible for membership.

Outdoor Club. Activities: Nature hikes, camping, marksmanship, swimming, boating, fishing, bicycle riding, athletic games, skating, toboganning, archery, horseshoe pitching, and lawn bowling.

The Camera Club is planned to give students formerly interested in photography an opportunity to continue their hobby and to furnish a new hobby for those students who have recently become interested in the study of photography.

Panhellenic Council. This is a group of two represent- atives from each of the five sororities on the campus. Each year this group sponsors a tea, a dinner, and a dance.

CLARION, PENNSYLVANIA 27

Sororities. There are five sororities on the campus. The Delta Sigma Epilson and Sigma Sigma Sigma are national sororities. The local Sororities are Lambda Chi Delta, Sigma Delta Phi, and Theta Alpha Lambda.

Fraternities. There are three fraternities on the campus. They are the Alpha Phi Alpha, the Alpha Gamma Phi, and the Sigma Tau Gamma.

The Press Club has the publication of the college paper, "The Clarion Call," as its main objective. It aims also to give the prospective teachers training they will need later in directing school publications. In the programs presented at Press Club meetings, various types of newspaper articles are discussed, and illustrations of the best are read. The papers from other colleges are studied and through comparisons and constructive criticism the students attempt to improve the quality of their own College paper. A trip is made each year either to Pittsburgh or the local printing office to learn how a newspaper is published.

The "Sequelle", the college annual, is another pub- lication that aims to portray the student activities on the campus. It is published by a staff of representative seniors how have evidenced an interest in journalism. Special features of this book are the records and pictures of clubs, sports, and activities which contribute an important part of the student's social and intellectual training.

The Purpose of the Student Activities is self-devel- opment. The responsibility for their success rests on the shoulders of the students. The meeting of each club is one period in length for which provision is made on the regular daily schedule. Some clubs meet every week; others meet every other week. Students may participate in one of the activities which meet every week or in two of the activities which meet every other week. However, this regulation need not exclude participation in music or athletic activities if the student desires such activities. Students are required to participate in one extra-curricular activity during the year. Each student is also required to take part in an activity which gives physical exercise. Such activities are: physical education classes, intramurals, athletics, outdoor club and sportsmans club.

28 STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE

THE SUMMER SESSION

The Summer Session is maintained for the benefit of regular college students as well as for teachers in service. By taking advantage of the summer sessions, teachers can secure the professional training needed to meet the require- ments for standard certification. Advanced courses are offered in the summer session for the benefit of teachers who desire to secure credits toward a degree in education, or for perm- anent certification.

Because of its location and environment, Clarion makes a strong appeal to those who desire to combine work with recreation during the summer. The mountain location provides a pleasant summer climate.

The regular Summer Session of 1951 will open on June 25 and close on August 3. The pre-summer session will be three weeks from June 4 to June 22. The post-session ex- tends three weeks from August 6 to August 24.

ACCELERATED PROGRAM

Students who take three summer terms of twelve weeks each, finish the four-year course in three years.

NIGHT CLASSES

Thursday night classes are organized each semester for the convenience of the teachers of this area. Work done in these courses gives customary college credit and may be offered toward a degree. A teacher may take two courses of three semester hours each semester or a total of six credits.

FILM LIBRARY

By placing one 16 millimeter moving picture film in the college film library a high school or other organization can use one film every two weeks throughout the school year. Sound and silent films are now in circulation.

PLACEMENT SERVICE

The placement Service of the College co-operates with the Placement Service of the State Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, thus offering ad- ditional facilities for the placement of students and graduates in positions.

CLARION, PENNSYLVANIA 29

The Placement Service assists school officials to secure competent teachers, and aids teachers to secure suitable posi- tions in the field of service for which their field of training best fits them.

The estimate of the College concerning the scholarship and teaching skill, conduct and general demeanor of students is often sought by school officials.

The Placement Service is in charge of Mr. Richard C. Skinner. This is also a part of the work of the President of the College.

Students after graduation are urged to keep up their contacts with the College, in order that their Alma Mater may render further service, not only in helping them to se- cure better positions but to assist them to improve in their present positions.

Quality points will be assigned as follows: Grade A, 3 quality points per semester hours; B, 2 quality points per semester hour; C, 1 quality point per semester hour; D, no quality points, E, -1.

To qualify for graduation, student must have a "C" average. (This applies to all grades earned after June 1, 1948.)

ADVANCED STANDING

Students transferring from other institutions will not be accepted without official transcripts of credit and cer- tificates of honorable dismissal. If the college transcript does not contain the high school record a transcript from the high school is necessary. Such students are required to have an interview with an official of the college prior to the opening of the semester in which they wish to enter.

Credit will be given for acceptable courses pursued in accredited collegiate institutions in which the student has made grades of A, B, or C. Where the grades are marked on a per- centage basis, work graded five percent above the minimum passing grade will be accepted. Passing grades of "D" in other institutions will not be accepted.

Students may not obtain a certificate or degree with- out a minimum residence of one year (thirty semester hours) in this College.

Teachers in service may complete in extension courses not more than 25 per cent of the courses required for a degree.

Students who are not graduates of a four-year high school, first class, must have their credits evaluated by the State Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, Penn- sylvania. Students who need this type of evaluation should consult the Registrar of the College. This regulation applies to teachers in service.

All persons who were graduated from a State Normal School prior to September, 1920, and who have a four-year

CLARION, PENNSYLVANIA 43

secondary school education will be granted not more than 64 semester hours of credit toward a degree for their normal school work.

No credit for public or private teaching experience, previously credited as high school equivalent or as equivalent professional credit toward graduation from a two-year cur- riculum, shall be granted toward meeting the requirements for entrance to or graduation from the four-year curriculums.

STUDENT TEACHING CREDIT FOR TEACHERS IN SERVICE

Experienced teachers with three or more years of ex- perience in teaching, who become candidates for a degree and who hold certificates below the level of the Provisional College Certificate may, at the discretion of an approved institution, complete the unfulfilled student teaching require- ments for the degree in any of the following ways:

(a) Earn the number of hours required in actual student teaching, or

(b) Perform an assignment of work germane to teaching technique in connection with the regular teaching in a public school, carrying not less than one semester hour credit or more than six semester hours credit in a single semester under approved supervision. In such cases, the candidate must be regularly registered in the institution, and may not earn more than a total of six semester hours credit in a single semester for all courses pursued, or

(c) Courses germane to teaching technique may be pursued in individual cases which are approved by the proper authority of an approved institu- tion for not more than three semester hours.

EVALUATION OF CREDITS

Evaluation of the credits of students are considered valid only for the year in which distributions are made (year in which credits are earned). This situation exists because of changes in regulations governing the value of credits and in the requirements for certification and graduation fre- quently made by the State Department of Public Instruction, the State Council of Education, and the Board of Presidents of the State Teachers Colleges. Students are urged to keep themselves well informed about their distributions by oc- casional inquiry, other than at registration periods, at the General Office.
