HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE

15

THE COLLEGE
The prov1s10ns of this bulletin are not to be regarded as an
irrevocable contract between the student and the College. The
College reserves the right to change at any time within a student's
term of residence any provision or requirement in keeping with
changes of the State Department of Public Instruction or the Board
of the State Teachers College Presidents. The College further reserves the right to ask, at any time, that a student withdraw for
cause.
PURPOSE

The College is a professional one, owned and controlled by the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, for the specific purpose of preparing teachers for the public schools. It prepares teachers for all of
the elementary grades and for the academic fields of the junior and
senior high schools. In the special fields it serves the western half
of Pennsylvania in preparing teachers of industrial arts, teachers
of classes for the mentally retarded, and teachers to act as speech
correctionists. Students who show that they are not fitted for the
profession of teaching may be asked, at any time, to withdraw.
HISTORY

The borough of California, founded in 1849, gets its name
from the gold rush to the state of California during the same year.
The settlers here, early feeling a need for education, in 1852 established an academy. Thirteen years later that institution rJceived a
state charter to become the Southwestern Normal College. In 1894
it was given official state recognition and became known as the Southwestern State Normal School.
In 1913 the stockholders of the original institution voted to
accept a proposal of the State Board of Education for the purchase
of the school, and in 1914 entered into an agreement, which was
approved by the governor, making the Southwestern State Normal
School a state-owned institution.
Under state control the Normal School at California, together
with others throughout the state, developed new programs and new
services. Curriculum standards were constantly advanced, until in

THE CALIFORNIA BULLETIN

1928 the State Council of Education granted to the College the right
to offer a four-year curriculum in elementary education, leading to
the bachelor of science degree. A few months later the same body
approved the addition of a four-year curriculum for the preparation
of teachers for public secondary schools. In 1929 the school became
officially a Teachers College, fourteen students receiving degrees at
the Commencement in May.

In the fall of 1930 an industrial arts curriculum was added.
Since that time the services in the elementary field have been extended to include courses for the preparation of teachers interested in
speech correction and in mentally retarded classes.
Today the College, with four four-year curriculums and several
specialized services, ranks among the outstanding institutions of
its kind in the state as well as in the Eastern United States. During
1955-56, it served 1015 full-time students and more than 110 teachers-in-service. It has a faculty and administrative staff of 70 persons.
The service area of the College includes, for the preparation
of elementary and secondary school teachers, Washington, Fayette,
Greene, and Somerset Counties, and for the preparati on of teacher~
,o f industrial arts and atypical education, all of Western Pennsylvania.

THE CAMPUS , BUILDINGS, AND EQUIPMENT
PRESENT BUILDINGS

Fourteen buildings, of which 13 are brick, are arranged in a
quadrangle on a campus of 40 acres. The entire campus h as been
laid out by a landscape architect, with hedges, shade trees, flowe1
plots, and shrubbery. Many uncommon plants and trees are included in the collection, which, besides adding beauty to the campus,
offers a valuable laboratory for students in the biological sciences.
Large scale improvements and additions to the campus plantings
have been made recently. -

Main Hall, the oldest building on the campus, was first used
in 1870. The administrative offices, the library, and a number of
classrooms are located in this building.
North Hall, built in 1874, serves as a women's dormitory. The
Colonial Room and College Infirmary are on the first floor. The
ground floor houses the rooms for the commutin g women .
South Hall, built in 1876, has been completely remodeled and
houses the Visual Aids Department and dormitory rooms for wom en.
The President's residence occupies the front portion of this building.

dormitory includes the Georgian Dining Room. Th e ground floor
houses the Day Men's Room.
Science Hall, which stands near the center of the northern
boundary of the campus, was built in 1892 and remodeled in 1938.
The laboratories, equipped t o accommodate 30 students at a time,
are modern in every respect.
Science Annex, a temporary structure located on the north side
of the campus, has been constructed recently to accommodate classes
in biological science, mathematics, and speech . The speech correction clinics are located in this building.
The Noss Laboratory School, built in 1930, is a center for student teaching, including observation and demonstration work.

CLI ! CAL S ERVICES

Although the main fun ction of the College is teacher-education,
additional service t o the• community and to the area is furnished
through speech correction and psycho-educational clinics, which
serve both public sch ool children and college students. Many school
districts, as well as in dividuals, are aid ed annually through the facilities of these clinics.

The speech correction clinic provides an opportunity for students and teachers to observe speech correction at work. A week-day
clinic accommod ates cases for treatment over the period of a semester. School surveys and clinic and offi ce appointments are available
to anyone.
The psycho-educational clinic, which cooperates closely with
the speech clinic, deals with problems of social attitude, personality,
and retardation in learning. It is open for after-sch ool appointments
on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and on Saturday mornings.
A limited amount of field service is furni shed to school districts
that wish to establish special classes for mentally retarded children.
This clinic has an equal interest in the study and adjustment of
children of superior ability. In the two types of service it meets
approximately 50 children monthly.
CLINI CAL S ERVICES FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS

Each student h as the opportunity to use the college clinical
services for gaining an understanding of his person al characteristics. This study includes a graph of personality traits and inventories of study skills , interests, and social attitudes. Through interviews the results of these inventories and their relation to teaching
are made evident to the student, who is carefull y shown the responsibilities he is about to undertake as a teacher. As these analyses
are meant to be aids in specialized guidance rather than criticism,
the information they contain , considered confidential, is used only
for professional purposes.

THE CALIFORNJ A BULLETIN
STUDENT DEV!·: LOPMENT

To give himself valuable experience, the student is requi red to
ass ume as large a share of responsibility through self-direction as
is practical. T o accomplish this, various organizations, including
such groups as the Student Activities Association, the Student Cabinet, the Student Congress, the Day Women's Council, the Day Men's
Council, the Dormitor y Women's Council, and the Dormitor y Men's
Council h ave b~en established on the campus.
The College candidly faces its responsibility for the development
of th ose social, cultural, intellectual, and spiritual qualities th at are

is pointed to the fulfillment of this objective. It is the fun ction of
the offices of the J?ean of Men and the Dean of Women to cooperate
with the departments of instruction and with other college agencies
m achieving this result.
The College assumes that the young men and young women of
college age who obtain admission t o the institution know what con stitutes intelligent moral conduct. Students who fail to maintain
such a standard, as judged by the student councils and college
auth orities, will not be permitted t o remain. For carrying out the
spirit which prevails and the regulations which have been established, each dormitory group , and the commuting men an d women
in their groups, select their own councils and, cooperating with their
respective deans, share in the government of the College. An efficient
student government and a pleasant, congenial spirit have resulted.

The College gives particular attention to the new stu dent. By
means of tests and interviews, efforts are made to determin e the
interests and abilities of each student. The results of these tests and
interviews are available to every faculty member concern ed.
While faculty members are called upon to assist with the guidance program, certain members have been assigned th e following
definite responsibilities :
1.

The Dean of Instruction assumes responsibility fo r educational guid ance : selection of curriculums, course reqmrements, certification requirements, student load.

of all faculty members is posted in the Office of the Dean of
Instruction. Students are encouraged to consult their advisors at frequent intervals during the semester.

5.

Health guidance is the primary responsiblity of the resident
nurse and College physician.

At the beginning of the school year, each first-year student is
assigned to a faculty advisor, whose function is to be of service during
the years of college life. The advisor studies the educational and
social background as well as the aptitudes and interests of the
assigned advisee in the regularly scheduled conferences.
RELIGIOUS ADVANTAGES

Though affiliations with particular sects are avoided by thr
authorities of the College, every endeavor is made to interest students in religious work and to develop a clean, wholesome, moral
atmosphere. On Wednesday evenings the "Student Fellowship'.

HEALTH EDUCATION AND ATHLETICS
HEALTH EDUCATION

Each student is required to take courses m health education,
which includes instruction m gymnastic activities, swimming and
personal hygiene.
The health education program is not conducted with the idea
of developing professional athletes but of familiarizing students with
a number of activities, in some of which, it is hoped, they will find
an interest that may be carried over into their work as teachers and
into their personal lives.

28

THE CALIFORNIA BULLETIN

He who expects to be a leader of boys and girls should know
many games, because young folks enjoy variety. With this idea in
view, a varied intramural sports program is conducted. This includes instruction in apparatus, archery, baseball, basketball, boxing,
eurythmics, folk dancing, fencing, hockey, marching, primary games,
relays, speed ball, tennis, tumbling, touch football, track, volleyball,
and wrestling.
Uniform gymnasium dress for men and women is required. The
approved uniforms may be purchased from the campus Book Store.
The cost of a woman's uniform, which consists of a one-piece suit
and socks for the gymnasium, is approximately $6.00. In addition,
each student must provide herself with rubber-soled gym shoes. A
short coat or heavy sweater and slacks will be necessary for the outdoor work in the fall and spring, and a pair of stout, low-cut shoes
for hiking will also prove useful. Men students may purchase the
regulation athletic shorts and shirts at the College Book Store for
approximately $3.00. They must provide themselves with rubbersoled gym shoes for gymn asium work.

In addition to the required health education courses, an extensive intramural athletic program is sponsored for advanced students.
Veterans may be granted physical education credits for their
military service by an evaluation of their military record. During
the first semester in attendance the veteran is expected to furnish the
Dean's Office with a certified or photostatic copy of his service
record, if credit for military service is desired. After the first
semester veterans will be required to schedule credit courses in physical education until the evaluation has been completed.
HEALTH SERVICE

The Health Service at the College, directed by the College
physician and attended by a resident registered nurse, provides dispensary care and limited infirmary service. The dispensary, located
in North Hall, is well equipped to handle emergency situations.
Students who are ill enough to be confined to bed may be cared for
in the infirmary. Several local physicians are subject to call in case
of necessity.
The College infirmary is well equipped with adequate waiting
rooms, examination and treatment rooms, X-ray and individual
recovery rooms and an isolation room.

HEALTH AND ATHLETICS

29

Students are advised that, after the initial consultation and first
aid treatment by the college physician and the nurse, subsequent
attention and care must be given by or under the advice of an outside physician of the student's choice. All expenses fo r such treatment and for medicine must be paid by the student.
All students must undergo general physical examination conducted once each year by local physicians, with the assistance of the
resident nurse and the members of the Department of Health Education. Periodically, certain examinations, including X-ray examin ations for tuberculosis, are given through the cooperation of the State
Department of Health.
H EALTH INSURANC E

California offers two plans of student insurance whi ch cover
the student from the first day of school until the close of school in
the spring.
1.

Accident Reimbursement-Reimbursement will be made up
to $500 for each accident. It makes no difference whether
the accident occurs at college, at home or while traveling or
participating in sports. Expenses include x-rays, hospital
bills, nurses', physicians' and surgeons' fees, laborator y
costs, medicines, and, in fact, any medical expense incurred
as a result of an accident.

2.

Accident and Sickness Reimbursement - Reimbursement
will be made for actual medical expenses, not to exceed $500
for each illness.

The Student Insurance Plans supplement the College Health
Program by protecting the student fro m the expense of the more
costly illnesses and injuries requiring h ospital care, surgical treatment, x-ray examinations or consultants' services. Complete info rmation is available in the Office of the Dean of Instruction.
ATHLETICS

Although the College emphasizes intramural athletics, it also
sponsors a r ather complete program of intercollegiate sports. Students have the opportunity of being on varsity teams in fo otball,
basketball, baseball, rifle, and tennis. Varsity schedules usually include colleges in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia.

30

THE CALIFORNIA BULLETIN

Football and baseball are played on an athletic field adjacent
.to the main campus. Splendid facilities for basketball are available
on two regulation playing floors, one in the main part of Herron
Hall, the college gymnasium, and the other in the East Wing. Excellent swimming facilities are available in a regulation pool in Herron
Hall, East Wing. Tennis is played on six hard-surfaced courts adjacent to the football field.
Although the College believes in and encourages intercollegiate
sports, it does not permit them to come before study in the life of
the student. The eligibility code of the Board of Teachers College
Presidents is strictly enforced. Rigid administrative supervision is
given to all varsity sports and a high standard of scholarship
maintained.
A complete statement of the rules and regulations established
by the Board of Presidents that govern athletic competition is given
in The Vulcan, the student handbook.
HOUSING FACILITIES
The college dormitories, under the supervision and direction of
the Dean of Men and the Dean of Women, are provided for the
comfort and convenience of resident students.

~ 24A.DMISSI08 OF OUT-OF-STATE AND FOREIGN STUDENT:
Out-of-state and foreign students may be admitted to the College when their admission and instruction does not interfere with
the admission and instruction of students resident in the Commonwealth. In the cases of foreign students, admission will depend upon
acceptable clearance from the education authorities of the countries
concerned and of the Department of State of the United States.

-~'"' >CREDITS AND GRADING SYSTEM
CREDITS
Courses are recorded in terms of "semester hours of credit." A
semester hour or credit represents one hour a week of recitation
or lecture throughout a semester of eighteen weeks. In laboratory
courses, however, a ratio of two, three, or four hours of laboratory
work for one credit prevails, according to the department. Varyin g amounts of required outside work are also assigned so th at
where the total number of credit hours is stated to be 16 or 17,
the number of clock hours a week may total as high as 30, 32, or
more. Descriptive titles and credit values of courses appear in the
section of this bulletin devoted to description of courses.
EXCESS CREDITS
Students who wish to carry more than the usual schedule of
16 to 17 semester hours must apply for and be granted permission
from the Committee on Advanced Standing or the Dean of In-

SUMMER SESSION

39

struction at the time of registration. Excess credits, whether taken
in the College or in another institution, will not be honored when
these are ~aken without the approval of the Committee or the Dean
except that students in their last semester before graduation are
given special consideration. In reviewing applications for permission to carry excess credits the Committee or the Dean will give
consideration not only to the academic standing of the applicants,
but also to their health records and extra-curricular activities.
The following conditions, based upon the student's record of
the preceding semester in residence, have been established as the
basis for permission to carry excess credits :

EXTENSION CREDITS

The College will accept for graduation a limited number of
extension credits from other accredited institutions only when those
credits have been earned in courses taught by persons who were then
giving their full time to extension instruction in such institutions or
to a combination of extension and campus instruction. Usually not
more than the equivalent of one year's work of 32 semester hours
in extension courses will be accepted toward a degree.

If there is a demand for credit courses at places too far distant
from California for students to attend Saturday campus classes,
arrangements may usually be made for one or more classes by extension. Requests should b~ made to the Dean of Instruction not
later than one month preceding the opening of the semester.
CORRESPONDENCE COURSES

Credits for correspondence courses are not accepted except for
members of the armed forces submitting records through the United
States Armed Forces Institute; Madison, Wisconsin.
S ATURDAY C LASSES

Saturday classes are scheduled for the benefit of teachers-inser v1ce. Regular students may schedule these classes if they so de-

THE CALIFORNIA BULLETIN

sire. Inquiries about the courses scheduled should be addressed to
the Dean of Instruction.
SUMMER SESSION

The College operates on a three-six-three weeks' basis during
the summer. Courses are given for students who wish to accelerate
their programs, for teachers-in-service, and for students wishing to
remove deficiencies. Inquiries about the courses offered should be
addressed to the Dean of Instruction.
SUMMER SESSION CREDITS

College rules, in keeping with regulations of the State Department of Public Instruction, sanction only one credit a week during a summer session; that is, six credits during a six weeks' and
three credits during a three weeks' session.

wl10

In exceptional instances students
are attempting to complete degree requirements during a summer --~ may be given
- permission by the Dean of Instruction to carry more than the maximum number of credits, provided that previous scholastic records
warrant such consideration and that 111 no instance will the total
number of credits be out of prop~rtion to good practice.
Students are advjsed not to take more than a credit a week
during summer terms at other colleges if they expect to use credits
thus earned toward degrees from this college. Regular students
planning a summer session at another college should consult the
Dean of Instruction before registering.
EVALUATION OF CREDITS

An evaluation of credits is considered valid only for the year
m which the distribution is made. The situation exists because of
frequent changes in regulations governing the value of credits and
in the requirements for certification and graduation 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 informed about their distribution by occasional inquiry, other than at registration periods, at the
Office of the Dean of Instruction.
Students who are not graduates of first-class four- year secondary schools must have their credits evaluated by special procedure.
Persons to whom this applies should consult the Dean of Instruction.

GRADING SYSTEM

41

NORMAL SCHOOL CREDITS

All persons who were graduated from a State Normal School
prior to September 19t7, and who have a four-year secondary school
education will be granted for their academic work not more than
68 semester hours of credit toward a degree.
Students who were graduated from a State Normal School before four years of secondary school preparation were required and
who still have not satisfied this requirement should apply to the
Secondary Credentials Division of the Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, P enn sylvania, for information about obtaining a
secondary school equivalent certificate, which, when issued, will be
accepted by the College for admission to a degree curriculum.
ADVANCED STANDING CREDIT

Credit for advanced standing is not allowed for work done by
correspondence, nor will credit be given for courses which are not
equivalent to those required or approved in the curriculums offered
at this college or for courses completed at other colleges or universities in which grades below C were earned. All credits of students
who apply for admission with advanced standing must be approved
by the Dean of Instruction. Credits from colleges not approved by
the Department of Public Instruction of Pennsylvania will not be
accepted toward either certification or graduation.
SCHOLASTIC STANDING

Students who are unable to do satisfactor y academic work in
any semester are placed on probatiol sr The schedules of such students are reduced from 16 or 17 by the College, are not able to improve the quality of their work
to such an extent that they have a reasonable chance of being
graduated, they may at any time, upon the recommendation of the
Dean of Instruction, be asked to withdraw from the College.
Students thus dropped may, after a reasonable period of absence,
apply for readmission; if in the opinion of the Dean , the chances
of their doing successful work appear to be favorable, they may be
readmitted on probation fo r a final trial.
Students who find it necessary to have full time employment
while attending classes are limited to 12 credit hours unless given
special approval by the Dean of Instruction.

warrant and when evidence is presented to justify its being given.
An incomplete is always accompanied by a supplementary symbol
indicating the character of the work already done: lncB, lncC.
The following conditions govern an incomplete:

1. It must be removed by arrangement between the student
and the instructor in the session, either semester or summer,
immediately following.
2.

After the lapse of one term, semester or summer, the grade
may be changed only upon approval of the Dean of lnstruc•
tion.

3.

After the lapse of one year, the incomplete grade automatic•
ally becomes a grade of F and cannot be removed without
the student's repeating the course.

The grade W, which is used to indicate withdrawal from a
course, is subject to the following conditions :

1.

Up to the end of the sixth week of classes, the withdrawal
will be recorded as WX, indicating the student's withdrawal
before the instructor was able to determine success or
failure.

2. From the end of the sixth week through the twel

the withdrawal, if sanctioned by tlte:: ean of lnstnwtio, , (I ;)
will be accompanied by a grade (WB, WC), indicating the
quality of work which the student was doing at the time of
withdrawal.

3. After the twelfth week no withdrawal except in extenuating
circumstances will be permitted. If a student insists upon
withdrawing from a course, a grade of F will automatically
be recorded.
GRADE REPORTS

Grade reports for students doipg failing or low quality work
are handed to the Dean of Instruction at the end of each six-week
period. Such students as reported are notified of their low grades
and where deemed necessary information is sent to the parents.
The final semester grades are mailed to the parents.

THE CALIFORNIA BULLETIN

WITHDRAWALS
Students who during a semester find it necessar y to leave the
College should, before discontinuing attendance at classes, confer
with the President or the Dean of Instruction and with the Dean
of Men or the Dean of Women. If after such conferences it is found
that the student should not continue, official withdrawal forms mu~t
be filled in at the Offi ce of th e Dean of Instruction. Students wli.,
leave th e College with out following this routin e, especially the fillin;s
rn of withdrawal cards, jeopardize their status.
Withdrawal forms must be properly filled in also by students
who desire after registration to discontinue part of their schedules.
When students merely stop attending classes without officially withdrawing, "F" (failin g) grades are required to be ; ecorded on the
permanent records.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

QUALITY POINT SYSTEM
As there is a quality standard for passing each course, so there
is a quantitative standard for completing a curriculum. This is
made possible by the establishment of a quality point system, which
demands that students cannot be graduated by getting merely passing
grades in each course.
The quality point system requires that a student, before he can
be graduated, must complete all required and elective courses in the
curriculum which he is pursuing, have the minimum number of
credits required by his curriculum, and earn a quality point average
of at least 1.0 ( C) for all courses in which grades other than P are
given. Only courses completed at this College are included in the
quality point computation.
Each credit of work completed is awarded quality points which
are computed according to the following scale: each credit of A
grade is multiplied by 3 B grade by 2, C grade by 1, D grade by 0,
. Courses dropped without the consent of
and F grade b
the Dean of Instruction shall constitute an F. Courses in which P
grades are given do not count in quality point computation.
Students transferring to the College from some other college or
university must have earned, in addition to the required resident
credits, a quality point average of 1.0 for all courses taken at the
institution attended previously.
FAILING GRADES
No student will be graduated with any unremoved incomplete
(Inc) or failing (F ) grade in any of the areas of specialization or

THE CALIFORNIA BULLETIN

required courses. Students who fail such courses must repeat and
pass them satisfactorily.

Students who receive a degree after completing a four-year
curriculum at this College will be granted a Provisional College Certificate, which is issued by the Department of Public Instruction.
The certificate, for which application must be made, must be issued
before graduates may teach in the public schools of Pennsylvania.
This certificate, not to be confused with the diploma issued at
graduation, is . valid for three years of teaching. It indicates the
subject or subj ects and the field in which the h older is permitted to
teach.
A College Certificate valid for secondary school teaching may
be extended to the elementary field by the presentation of 30 semester hours of work in professional education applicable to the ele_mentary grades ; at least six of the 30 credits must be in elementary
student teaching. This regulation became effective October 1, 1936.
Twelve credits of professional work applicable to the secondary
school, six of which must be in student teaching, are required to

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
extend a College Certificate · valid in the elementary field to secondary school teaching. Iri addition, 18 credits must°be presented
for each subject or· field in which certification is desired.
The Dean of Instruction will be glad to confer with persons who
wish to have a Provisional College Certificate extended to include
industrial arts; speech correction, or the teaching of mentally re:
tarded classes.
PERMANENT COLLEGE CERTIFI CATE

A Provisional College _Certificate may be made permanent after
three years of successful teaching experience, rated at "middle" or
better, in the appropriate field in the public schools of the Commonwealth and the satisfactory complet1on of at least six semester
hours of additional preparation of collegiate grade, completed subsequent to the conferring of the baccalaureate degree; one-half of
it must be professional and the remainder related to the subjects or
subject fields in which the holder is certificated to teach.
Holders of Provisional College Certificates issued after September 1, 1935, will be required to present evidence of having completed an approved course in visual and sensory techniques before
the certificates may be converted into permanent form. The regulation is not retroactive. Persons who received Provisional College
Certificates prior to September 1, 1935, will have them made permanent on the basis of the requirements in effect when they were
issued.
All certificates issued by the Department of Public Instruction
subsequent to September l, 1944, to teach in the public schools of
the Commonwealth shall, in addition to the present regulations,
require a basic course in the history of the United States and of
Pennsylvania.
A Permanent College Certificate entitles the holder to teach for
life the subject or subject fields indicated on its face.
TRANSCRIPTS OF CREDITS

Official transcripts, obtainable through the Registrar upon the
written request of the student, will be sent only to the State Department of Public Instruction for use in obtaining certification
or to institutions to which credits are to be transferred.

52

THE CALIFORNIA BULLETIN

Only the work completed at the State Teachers College at California will be included in the transcript. Work taken at another
institution should be certified directly from that institution.
One copy of a transcript of credits earned at California will be
issued free of charge. A charge of one dollar is made for a second
and for each subsequent transcript. This fee of one dollar will be
waived for transcripts that are "to be used in connection with induction, enlistment, or advancement in the armed forces."
Transcripts cannot be prepared during the last week of the
semester or during the registration period. Persons planning admission to graduate school or to transfer to another collegiate
institution should file the request for transcript with the Registrar
at least a month before the end of the semester. Women who have
married since leaving college should give their maiden names as well
as their married names.
PLACEMENT SERVICE

As part of its public service, the College maintains a placement
office. Its purpose is to aid students and graduates in obtaining
desirable positions as teachers and to assist school officials in locating well-qualified teachers who fit the requirements of vacancies in
the schools of the service area of the College.
All students are required to enroll with the placement office
when they complete their student teaching. Although the Service
does not guarantee positions, records filed by the registrants open
opportunities that might not otherwise be available.
Alumni are urged to use this service. Those who have been
registered should, especially if they wish to advance themselves,
keep their credentials up-to-date.

CURRICULUMS

53

THE CURRICULUMS
There are three vital aspects to teacher-preparation curriculurns - general education, specialized professional training, and
practical experience in student teaching. The curriculums i~ force
in all the State Teachers Colleges in Pennsylvania are designed to
satisfy this conception of teacher-training.
The Board of Teachers College Presidents, with the approval
of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, has enriched the curriculums of the Colleges by rearrangement of courses and the addition of courses in general education and increasing the arts and
science electives. Flexibility and freedom of selection characterize
the present curriculums.
THE FOUR-YEAR PROGRAMS
The curriculums offered at the College are in conformity with
the general state plan. Four different curriculums are available at
California - the elementary, the secondary, the industrial arts, and
atypical education, each with several possible specialization areas,
described on the following pages. Each curriculum requires four
years' study and leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education. Each requires the satisfactory completion of a minimum of
128 semester hours.
Students who entered California prior to September 1, 1951, will
have their records evaluated by the Dean of Instruction. Students
needing such evaluations should contact the Dean at times other
than the two weeks prior to and the two weeks following a registration period.
Although the present curriculums are changed considerably
from those in effect previously, teachers-in-service who are working toward their degrees need not be disturbed by the existing requirements. Their previous work will be adjusted to the present
patterns without loss of credit, unless they change from one curriculum to another.

Courses with odd numbers are usually given during the
those with even numbers in the second semester, unless

When courses cover two semesters, they usually carry the same titles

No t all the courses listed in this section are given in any one semester
or even in any one y!ar. Courses may even be withdrawn without notice. The

is based on the concept that man, centrnry to old th eories of evolution, is not an anim al. Man
excels animals since he inherits not only biologically, but passes on k nowledge. His knowledge
inheritance becomes progressively greater and can be changed, th ereb y greatly affecting human
development. The cou-nie is con cerned with two questions basic t o all teac hing: (1) How t o
facilitate the accumulation of knowledge and (2) How to avoid interfering with the accumula•
ti on of kn owledge. This course is a free elective in any curriculum.
