Incorporated as a borough on ovember 26, 1853, California derived its name from the fact that it was plotted and settled during the 1849 Gold Rush. The town was also called "Columbia" and "Sagamore" during its infancy. Six men were involved in the founding of California-Job Johnson , George W . Hornbake, Abram Frye, William Jackman, William Ashmead and John Wood. Johnson was the leader in planning educational facilities for the new community. Concerning the vital role he played, Wickersham's History of Education in Pennsylvania said : "Foremost in pushing forward th e educational movem ent was Job Johnson, a Quaker in this Scotch-Irish coun try, and a man of great public spirit." The town's original incorporators, spurred by Johnson, were also the founders of the college. They constructed a two-story building of hand-pressed brick near the site of the community's current junior high school. Th e school opened in 1852 with Professor Ellis N. Johnson, a nephew of Job Johnson, as the first principal. H e brought his staff, consisting of Professor N. D. Fanning and Miss Vane Scott, with him from Ohio. Although the original incorporators failed to secure a charter for their school, they did manage to provide public funds for the institution by levying a community tax for "school purposes." Th e school was considered an essential ingredient of the model town. Purchase of a 10-acre plot for the academy-on which most of th e older buildings still stand-was completed on November 14, 1864, at a price of $133.44. A total educational attempt was made at th e new academy, extending from the kindergarten to the college level. The high er education portion of the curriculum was largely liberal arts. Economic problems soon forced the college to seek funds beyond the community. The State Normal School Act of 1857 provided an opportunity for state funding, and the trustees sought to have the academy designated as the Normal School for the 10th Disb-ict. They 9 obtained a charter in 1865, converting the school to a teacher-prep aratory institution and the curricu lum was modi£ed to include a threecredit course entitl ed "The Art of Teaching." In 1874, the college was named the South , i\Testern State orm al School with an emph asis solely on teacher preparation. Th e new normal school adopted the "trimester" plan in order to assist in t acher improvement. A library was es tablished under the direction of a full -time librari an. Miss Elin Essolins of Sweden was e:11ployed to teach "Sloyd ," a forerunner of indus trial arts, in a laboratory that was set up in Science H all. The trustees and stockholders sold the school to th e Commonwealth in 1914, wh en it became California State Normal School. D epartments of physical culture and commercial training were discontinued at th a t tim e and the college concen trated exclusively on a two-year preparatory course fo r elementary school teachers . Another switch in direction and goals occu rred in 1928, when th e Commonwealth changed the normal school to a four-yea r, degreegranting sta te teachers college. Emphasis at this tim e was also focus ed on preparation for secondary schools, industrial arts and atypical or special education. In 1959, th e coll ege return ed to the original goals of the founding fathers when it became a multi-purpose institution with increased attention on general or liberal education in all areas. OBJECTIVES The faculty and students of California State College view th emselves as members of an educational cen ter concerned with th e preservation, discovery, and dissemination of knowledge in the areas of th e arts, sciences, and professional educa tion , and with the creative application of that knowledge in their lives, both as individu als and members of society. Specifically, the objectives of this institution are as follows: 1. To provide a competent fac ulty, an efficient administrative staff, and adequate facilities . 2. To provide the kind of liberal education which aims at developing critical thinking and initiative. 3. To provide a flexible, forward -looking program of studie designed to meet the needs of a dynamic society. 10 4. To provide a comprehensive curriculum of studies, both on the undergraduate and the graduate levels, which aims at equipping th e student with breadth of kn owledge, depth of understanding, and analytical and technical skills to enable him to perform more effectively wha tever task he might contemplate. 5. To fos ter a high level of communication among faculty, students, and administra tion. 6. To promote a wide range of cultural and intellectu al acti viti es of local, nati onal, and international significance. 7. To encourage thoughtful and responsible faculty-student p _1rticipation in local, state, national, and intern ational affairs. 8. To expand the ed ucational program to enable all qualified stu dents to obtain a coll ege edu cat ion. 9. To provide acad emic opportu n:ties to perrnns interested in non-degree progra ms. 10. To aid and encourage scholarly and scientifi c research, high standards of teachin g, and participation in professional activities. 11. To create and maintain an environment in which the inaLenable rights of all men are respected . Adopted August 28, 1969 THE CAMPUS The college is in the Borough of California, a community of approximately six thousand residents located in W ashington County on the bank of the Monongahela River. It is accessible by means of Pennsylvania Route 88. Route 88 intersects with U.S. Route 40, five miles south of the town and with Intersta te Route 70 at Speers, eight miles to the north. The existing campus consists of thirty buildings situated on 148 acres. A stadium and other facilities are located at the College F arm on Route 88, two miles south of the main campus. In order to accommodate the increase in enrollment, a building program was launched in the late 1950's. The compreh ensive plan calls for forty-five buildings which will b e in use b y 1980. 11 THE PROGRAM In order to fulfill the college objectives and to provide continuous education for all levels of society, California State College has developed a number of programs. All undergraduate programs are based on two years of broad general education designed to assist the individual expand his skills in communication, grow in cultural and intellectual interests, and develop his ability to do critical thinking. The programs currently offered are Arts and Sciences, Teacher Education, and Graduate Studies. A General Studies program is available for adults who wish to take college courses for personal satisfaction . Academic programs are supplemented by excellent provisions for students to participate in cultural activities. The college provides an outstanding film series, exceptionally good theatre, symphony and choral music, and opportunities to hear and meet national leaders from all facets of society. A long range plan for the purchase of award winning creations in art has resulted in a good collection on campus. Art exhibits are featured throughout the year. THE LIBRARY The J. Albert Reed Librru·y houses 180,000 volumes in conjunction with study lounge facilities for recreational reading, seminar space, exhibit areas, and a classroom for the teaching of techniques. An adequate annual budget maintains microfilms and microcard collections; a spokenword record collection, to which operatic and symphonic albums are being added; and an open-stack periodical room with individual study carrels to encourage concentrated and independent student effort. Professional librarians interpret the collection to the campus and account for substantial increases in holdings each year, particularly in the field of Slavic studies. PLACEMENT SERVICES The Placement Office was established to assist seniors, graduate students and alumni of California State College in obtaining full-time, permanent, professional employment. Through the Placement Service, students may obtain general advice and information on job opportunities. On-campus interviews are scheduled annually for students interested in meeting with representatives from school districts, business firms, governmental agencies, and industries seeking California State College graduates. 12 4 ADMISSION TO THE COLLEGE Undergraduate, Programs CALIFORNIA STATE COLLEGE welcomes applications from all racial, religious, and nationality groups.

Exceptional cases must obtain permission from the Vice President of Academic Affairs at the time of registration. Under no circumstances will excess credits be honored, whether taken in this college or in ano ther institution without the approval of the Vice President. In reviewing applications to carry excess credits, the Vice President will give consideration not only to the academic standing of the applicants but also to their h ealth records and exb·a-curricular activities. Students are advised not to take more than on e credit a week during summer terms at oth er colleges if they expect to use credits thus earned toward degrees from this college. Students planning a summer session at another college should consult the Vice President of Academic Affairs or their department chairman before registering. CLASSIFICATION Students are classified as freshmen who have less than 32 credits; as sophomores when they have 32 to 63 credits; as juniors when they have 64 to 95 credits; and as seniors when they have 96 or more credits. 28 The credits used to determine the classification of students include those earned at this college and those accepted by the college from other accredited institutions on the basis of official transcripts. COUNSEL! TG CE TER The Counseling Center at California State College provides various professional services to students who wish to understand themselves better and to use their resources more effectively. A new Counseling Center was established on the campus in the Fall of 1970 and is staffed by quali.6ed counselors. The activities of the Center are designed to meet the personal and individual needs of students, recognizing that each individual must meet certain basic personal needs in order to function successfully in a learning situation. Through individual and group counseling sessions, students may develop the personal characteristics and inter-personal human competencies to succeed in college. The remedial role of the Counseling Center is to help students face th eir academic problems, and, to some extent solve speci.6c ed ucational problems and to remedy academic skill and deficiencies. All services of the Counseling Center are provided free of charge to students of California State College. The Counseling Center is located in newly renovated facilities in the basement of H erron Hall. Students can contact th e Counseling Center either in person or by calling the college telephone operator. Counseling will be available during th e day and th e counselors can be contacted by phone through the college operator in the evening. SPECIAL SERVICES The Special Services Program at California State College, e.s tablished in September, 1971, is designed to promote a more satisfactory college experience for the student with a low economical and/ or education al background who seeks extra tutorial and counseling assistance, and who may encounter difficulty settling into a program of studies. Special Services seeks to increase the opportunity for students to successfully "make-it" in college, or, to at leas t have an opportunity "to-h·y." In its affiliation with the Counseling Center at the college, Special Services provides an advising, tutorial and counseling program based upon the individual's own dignity and human worth, committed to the goals of self-knowledge and personal motivation. Using a staff of both professional and peer counselors and tutorial specialists, all services are provided to Special Service students. How- 29 ever, all students on campus are invited to seek academic help from the tutorial staff. POLICY O SCHOLARSHIP REQUIREME TS Students are expected to maintain a minimum standard of academic accomplishment for each term of attendance in order to continue their studies. This minimum standard is expressed in terms of a quality point average. The college reserves the right to refuse the privilege of furth er attendance to students who fail to meet the scholarship requirements. The regulations on scholarship requirements and academic standing apply to all undergraduate tudents who are degree candidates. Good Academic Standing This classi£cation means that a student has earned at least a C ( 2.00 ) average for all course work at California State College, is not on academic probation, and is th erefore, granted the privilege of continued emollment.

All programs are fully accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education. ADMISSION TO TEACHER EDUCATION Admission to California State College is not a guarantee that a student majoring in education will be permitted to complete the program ( which includes student teaching ) and receive a teaching certificate. Th e School of Education has established standards that all education majors must meet in order to complete the regular Teaching Education Program. Some standards are embodied in the Admission to T eacher Education Program. A brief swnmary of the requirements follows: 1. A quality point average of 2.30 in major field. For students in the elementary curriculum, quality point average will be computed usin g elementary and professional education courses. 2. An overall average of 2.00 or mu st be in good academic standing. 3. Completion of at least 64 credits including transfer credits with a minimum of 12 credits in the major. ( Secondary Education T eaching Area; Elementary Education; Industrial Arts; Special Education ; Speech Pathology ) 4. Recommendation of advisor or major department head. 5. Personal interview with and recommendation of a member of the Committee for Admission to Teacher Education. 6. Approval by the Committee for Admission to T eacher Education. All of the above requirem ents are prerequisites to a student teaching assignment. PROFESSIO AL LABORATORY EXPERIE CES To supplement the classroom preparation for teaching, a program of experiences in teacher-related activities is provided and becomes a part of the college record of each student. With the cooperation of faculty members who teach selected professional education courses, 61 each student maintains a record of campus or off-campus activities in church or community, business or industry, or recreation or camp work. Each record is then examined from time to time as basis for the evaluation of student growth. L aboratory experience records are £led with the Associate Dean of Teacher Education and are used in the program of Admission to Teacher Education. "Pre-student teaching" experiences are provided for Secondary Education majors through the courses, "Problems of Secondary Education," "Introduction to Guidance," "Tests and Measurements," and "Secondary School Curriculum." In all of these, the student is required to participate in off-campus activities for approximately two hours per day, one day per week, for a nine-week period. Elementary Education majors have pre-student teaching activities in the Professional Trimester. Special Education majors have a Junior Year Practicum. Speech Pathology majors have a Junior Year Clinical experience. The program of pre-student teaching experiences in industrial arts is under development. Many organizations provide co-curricular opportunities in the general area of athletics, dram atics, forensics, journalism, student government, music and recreation. A complete list of such organizations is available in the student handbook and a student is guided to his area of special interest throughout the orientation program. Student activities are considered an adjunct to the academic program and not a substitute for it. Participation in activities with children or youth (STARS, VISTA, neighborhood recreation, YMCA, YWCA, CYO, YMHA, etc. ) is specifically encouraged. STUDE T TEACH! G Student teaching, a major professional laboratory experience, is conducted under the supervision of the Director of Student Teaching. Students who are candidates for certification are required to earn twelve trimester hours of credit in Student Teaching. For regular students this assignment covers the entire trimester of sixteen weeks. The student teacher also carries a two-credit hour Practicum while fulfilling his student teaching requirement. The work is carried on in the Noss Laboratory School and in selected public schools located in the service area of the college. Applications for student teaching are secured at the time of the students' interview for admission to teacher education. They are filed in the office of the Director of Student Teaching. Interviews for student teaching assignments are held each ovember and March. 62 Before a student may be assigned to this vital part of the Teacher Education Curriculum, he must (a) be admitted to Teacher Education, ( b ) have an overall quality point average of 2.0, ( c) be approved as havin g satisfactorily completed the required preparatory work. Students will not be assigned to Student Teaching until they have completed at least one trim ester's work in this college. Graduates of other colleges must meet th e requirements of Admission to Student Teaching before being assigned to Student Teaching. STUDENT TEACHING FOR E XPERIENCED TEACHERS Teachers who hold any teaching certificate below the level of th e Instructional I Certificate and who have had three or more years of teaching experience, may be permitted to complete the Sh1dent Teachin g requirement by special arrangement in consultation with the D ean of Teacher Education . The D ean of Teacher Education may allow th e sh1dent to ful£ll th e student teaching requirement for the Bachelor of Science Degree in Education by making a substitute requirement in keepin g with the needs of the individu al student.
