Mr. Carver assured the trustees that $15,000 would build a suitable building. The energy
and enthusiasm of the men were such that when people doubted that the
type of building which he planned could be built for that amount, he assumed, in addition to his duties as teacher, the offices of architect and con-

On April 4, 1867, that building, the present Carver Hall, was dedicated
with gala observance by the townspeople. Members of the first class at the
new school D. J. Waller, Jr., George E. Elwell, and Charles Unangst by
popular subscription raised $1,200 in a single week for the fine bell which
formerly called the students to their classes. The first faculty comprised

Those earl) years were trying; subscriptions would fall off and trustees
would often meet obligations on their own personal responsibility. In 1875,
the dormitory was completely destroyed by fire.
In 1876. a larger and
more handsome building, the original part of the present Waller Hall
built.
In spite of discouraging circumstances, the school began paying expenses during Doctor Griswold's administration.
In the Fall of 1877, Dr. D. J. Waller. Jr.. became principal.
For thirteen years the school grew under his guidance.
The Model School and the
wing of the dormitory were built during his principalship. When Docl

State Teachers College, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania

Dr. Francis B. Haas succeeded Dr. Riemer in July, 1927. Under his
administration the College made great advancement, both in the improvement of the physical plant and in the program of teacher education.

Major campus improvements included the addition of eighteen acres
of land; the construction of a new Laundry Building; Elementary Training
School; Gymnasium; Junior High School; Shop and Maintenance Building;
addition to the Heating Plant; Fire Towers for several buildings; a complete
remodeling of Science Hall and of the auditorium.
Educational development during the administration of Dr. Haas moved
along parallel with the improvement in the physical plant and has included
the following: the establishment of the Department of Business Education;
the inauguration of a Department of Special Education, with an Educational
Clinic for guidance and remedial instruction of problem cases; the organization and development of a student government association; the development
of such outstanding extra-curricular activities as the A Cappella Choir,
Maroon and Gold Orchestra, Maroon and Gold Band, Dramatic Club, and
the installation of professional and honorary educational organizations.
In June, 1939, the College very fittingly celebrated

its

Centennial

—one

hundred years of progress.
Dr. Haas resigned in August, 1939, to assume, for the second time, the
duties of State Superintendent of Public Instruction for the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania.

Before the passage of the first Selective Service Act in 1940, it was
apparent that the upsurge of industrial activity would decrease enrollments
in technical and professional institutions.
Thus a transition made over a
three-year period required only gradual adjustment in plant, personnel,
and student body.
Plant improvements

in

the

war and post-war periods included the

cafeteria, renovation of North Hall and wing of Waller Hall for use of men
students, construction of fireproof staircases in clock tower, remodeling of
Noetling Hall so as to provide Day Men's Lounge facilities, faculty offices,

and Audio-Visual Classroom, remodeling of Waller Hall Gymnasium to
provide lounge and recreational facilities for students, renovation of Science
Hall, improvements in heating plant, construction of the College Commons, and the relocation of the library in Waller Hall.
Parallel with the plant improvements, the curriculum offerings were
extended to the field of Liberal Arts in a cooperative agreement then
existing with Pennsylvania State College, and extension centers were established for teachers-in-service in Wilkes-Barje, Kingston, Hazleton, Sunbury.

PLACEMENT SERVICE
A

measure of a college's contribution to American education might
well be the success it has in placing its graduates in the educational field.
Bloomsburg is proud of its placement record. Continuous follow-up studies
of graduates of the past nineteen years indicate that practically ninety percent have taught school, and that another seven percent have been gainfully employed outside of the teaching profession.

The

college maintains the Placement Service for a two-fold purpose:
by bringing to the attention of
school officials worthy candidates for teaching positions, and to help our
graduates secure their first teaching position. The Director of Placement,
with offices in Carver Hall, has the following responsibilities:
to serve the public schools of Pennsylvania

To serve as chief contact with those employing teachers, with candidates for the teaching profession, and with professional groups.

STUDENT PARTICIPATION IN COLLEGE

State Teachers College is a professional institution for the education

The college, therefore, requires the

The attainment of these objectives is aided
by a sound health program, favorable study conditions, a good library* and

In general, these opportunities are provided through a broad program

Business skills cannot be learned wholly from books.
The Department of Business Education is well equipped with up-to-date filing equipment and modern office machines including manual and electric typewriters; adding, calculating, posting, duplicating, dictating and transcribing

OFFICE PRACTICE

AND

BUSINESS EXPERIENCE

A

student completing a curriculum in business education has an
opportunity to spend one year in office practice courses. In these courses
a student acts as a business worker in various campus offices where he is
held responsible for the same vocational efficiency as the regularly employed office worker. This experience is supplemented by class instruction
covering the following office skills and business knowledges: alphabetical,
geographical, and numerical filing; dictation and transcription at high
rates of speed; stencil preparation, including the use of the mimeoscope,
and the operation of the mimeograph; preparation of master sheets and
operation of liquid process and offset duplicating machines; operation of
dictating and transcribing machines; operation of adding, posting, and
calculating machines; and advanced work in business papers.

BLOOMSBURG SPELLS SUCCESS
Bloomsburg graduates are recognized as successful teachers. They
are well prepared in their fields; but more important, they are the kind of
young people school superintendents welcome to the profession. Of the
1957 graduating class of 219, eighty-three percent are now teaching; only
5 percent are employed in other occupations.

Three-Year Survey
(1946-48)

Last Year Survey

Any realistic placement study must take into consideration the number of graduates who are available for teaching.
Those who enter military service or begin their graduate studies cannot be considered as available for placement immediately following graduation.
Nineteen members of the 1957 graduating class are either serving with the armed forces
or doing graduate work at the present time. Of the remaining 200 members of the class, ninety-one percent are now employed as instructors in
the public schools. This is a record of which Bloomsburg is justly proud.

A

recently-completed study of the salaries paid the 1957 graduates rebeginning teachers received an average compensation of
$3,745.00 for the nine-month school year. Although a number of
Bloomsburg men and women began their teaching careers at the statewide minimum salary of $3400, some were tendered contracts at a figure
of $4,700. Graduates in the field of Secondary Education received average salaries slightly higher than those in the Elementary field, while
Business Education teachers received slightly higher salaries than their

Reporting

In the light of these figures, beginning teachers from the Bloomsburg
State Teachers College are in great demand.
All who wanted to teach
easily found jobs in the public schools, mostly of their own choice.
Statistics also indicate that salaries are increasing steadily, year after year,
and Bloomsburg graduates, eagerly sought by school officials looking for
well-prepared beginning teachers, have been placed at above-average salaries.
In this way, Bloomsburg spells success.
