Bloomsburg has a long and interesting history. In 1839, a private
academy was opened at Bloomsburg. C. P. Waller, a graduate of Williams
College, successfully conducted the school for two years. Later, public
school teachers taught in the academy during their summer vacations.

Binghamton, N.Y., at the
beginning of the 1866 term. His powerful personality had much to do with
molding its early policies. He insisted that a new building was essential
for the future development of the Bloomsburg Literary Institute. Under his
inspiration, the charter of 1856 was revived. He assured the trustees that
$15,000 would provide a suitable building, and he assumed, in addition to
his duties as a teacher, the offices of architect and contractor.

meeting in 1868, at which Mr. Wickersham addressed
the citizens of Bloomsburg, it was decided to establish a Normal School
under the Act of 1857. A dormitory was completed at a cost of $36,000.
The school was recognized as a State Normal School on February 19, 1869.
Consequently,

at a

The school was called the Bloomsburg Literary Institute and State
Normal School until it was purchased by the State on May 22, 1916. After
that it was known as the State Normal School at Bloomsburg until the
name was changed to State Teachers College on May 13, 1927, by the State
Council of Education. Up to 1920, when the Department of Public Instruction revised the programs of all the Normal Schools, the school
offered college preparatory as well as teacher training courses.

Those early 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,
was built. The school began paying expenses during Doctor Griswold's
administration.

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.
In June, 1939, the College very fittingly celebrated

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

Common-

wealth of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Harvey A. Andruss,

who had

organized and directed the Depart-

ment of Business Education and had served as Dean of Instruction from
1937-1939, was appointed to succeed Dr. Haas as President. During the next
two decades of hot and cold wars, the campus was enlarged, new buildings
were added, and the number of students and faculty was trebled or
quadrupled.
Early in I960, Bloomsburg became a State College. In the same year,
the College celebrated the Thirtieth Anniversary of the Division of Busi-

from the Middle States
Association as a degree-granting institution, and was approved by the State
Council of Education to inaugurate a program of graduate studies leading to
the Master of Education degree, beginning in June, 1961. The scope of
curriculum offerings was broadened in May, 1962, when the College received permission from the State Council of Education to grant the Bachelor
of Arts degree in the Humanities, the Natural Sciences, and the Social

CAMPUS AND BUILDINGS
CAMPUS.

The

State College property comprises

about 60

acres,

which over forty acres form the campus proper. The campus lies on a
hillside from which one looks down over Bloomsburg homes towards the
bright ribbon of the Susquehanna and beyond to the softly tinted distant
hills. The campus contains an athletic field, tennis courts, and a general
recreation field. An oak grove with a pergola and a lagoon form an ideal
of

place for out-of-doors pageants and dramatics.

buildings of the State College reflect the growth of the institu-

the College. President Andruss outlined the phases of the plan which will
accommodate an enrollment of 3,000 students by 1970.

to the present

campus

will be pur-

chased as soon as they become available.

The campus

plan, developed by Dr. Andruss and approved by the

Board of Trustees, represents the college of tomorrow at Bloomsburg, which
is expected to accommodate 3,000 students on the present campus by 1970.
It provides for a living Area in which all dormitories, dining rooms, heating plant, maintenance building, laundry, and administration buildings
will be located. The Learning Area includes laboratory schools, classroom
buildings, library and present gymnasium. A field house and playing fields,
including a quarter-mile track, will be built in the Recreational Area on
the east campus.

The newly-purchased Country Club property

will be used for a sec-

ond campus, and plans are now being developed for the beautiful hilltop
site. It is believed that this campus will accommodate an additional 2,000
students in a lower (two-year) division

regularly employed office worker. This experience is supplemented by class
instruction in 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 duplicating machines; operation of dictating
and transcribing machines; operation of adding, calculating, and bookkeeping machines; and the preparation and use of business papers. The student
is also given an opportunity to visit the College IBM Center for observation
