Bloomsburg State, Stand proud against th,y foes, Let victory thy colors see While honor be thy goal; Maroon and Gold Let none thy fame berate, As forward on to victory Goes Bloomsburg State! Music and Lyrics by Donald Messimer '70 ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ BLOOMSBURG STATE COLLEGE Bloomsburg State College began as an Academy in 1839 "to teach youth the elements of a classical education." In 1856 it was chartered as the Bloomsburg Literary Institute, and in 1869 it became a State Normal School. The school was purchased by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1916, and in 1920 teacher education became the sole institutional purpose. The name was changed to Bloomsburg State Teachers College in 1927, and authority was granted to offer the degree, Bachelor of Science in Education. In 1960 the institution became Bloomsburg State College, with authorization to grant the degree, Bachelor of Arts, for liberal arts programs in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. That same year graduate study was authorized. The college currently offers 57 baccalaureate degree programs in the Arts and Sciences, Business, and Professional Studies. Teacher certification is available in 18 undergraduate program areas. At the graduate level the college has 26 masters degree programs and three teacher education certification programs. Through the School of Extended Programs, the college extends educational opportunities to people of all ages who wish to pursue knowledge for professional advancement or for their own enrichment. Today, 653 young people are receiving baccalaureate degrees; 35 are receiving masters degrees. Officers of the Class of 1977 Paul Seif . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
