Introduction
THE COLLEGE A D ITS PURPOSE
The California tate College is a state supp orted, sin gle purpose institution established and maintained to help provide the
schools of Penn sylvania with well trained, competent teacher . The
program for teachers provides the student with a background in
general ed ucation that is characteristic of educated men and women
everywhere, a th orough training in th e selected area of specialization
and well designed courses in professional education. In addition,
the college offers a variety of co-curricular activities of a socialcultural-academic nature designed to provide the student with the
opportunity to develop his potentialities as an individual.
To these ends the Commonwealth of P ennsylvania has provided
the buildings, the professional and the non-professional staff th ro ugh
many years of legislative support. The several fees paid by students represent only a portion of the cost of operating the college.
Public upp ort is the primary source of college funds.
As a result of its finan cial interest, the Common wealth has
established control of the state colleges through the Department
of Public Instruction. Since there are fourteen such institutio ns
the Department and the Board of College Presidents co-ord inate certain activitie comm on to all state controlled schools. In addition,
each school has a Board of Trustees which assists the President in
admini-tra tion. Other supervision and control comes fro m such
state agencies as the tate Council of Education , the Au ditor General, the Department of Property and Supplies and the General
State Autho rity. Each state college has the support of many
vital agencies whose resources may be utilized at any time.
The curriculum at California is established in broad outline by
the Department of Public In struction by means of its several co uncils and stu dy groups. The special curricula are assigned to each
college with California being assigned Industrial Arts,
typical
E ducation , Elementary and Secondary Education. Students may
6

elect to specialize in any of these areas or their subdivisions.
state college offer additional specializations.

Other

In order that additional study opportunities might be made
available the college sponsors an E uropean Summer Tour which
make available low cost travel-study trips for interested persons.
Another constantly expanding feature of the state college i
its in-service program for teachers in the service area. Under the
leadership of its several departments, the college sponsors eve~in_g
program for college students and experienced teachers wherein (71
changes of experiences result in a more effective college progra ~1
and a stimulated public sch ool program.
The faculty at California represent~ a geogr~phic cross-section
of the U nited States, a long list of colleges and universities, and
many year of graduate training. In additi'on t~ instruction and
extra-curricular activities, many members of the staff are engaged
m writin cr and research in their field of interest.
Additional information on the faculty, administrative procedures, curriculum and student life are to be found in the appropriate
division of the Bulletin.
The California State College has had a histor y of continuous
growth in tature, size and influence sin ce its early days as an
academy. Founded by the public spirited citizens of the borough
in 1852 it became a normal school under a state charter and in 1914
1vas acquired by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and thus became a state-owned institution.
In 1928, the State Council of Ed ucation gran ted to the college
the right to offer a four-year curriculum in elementary and
secondary ducation. In 1929, the school became the State Teachers
College and has grad uated students with the degree of Bachelor of
Science in Education since th at time. In 1959, the State Legislature
vot6d to delete the word Teachers from the school's title and, as a
result, all of the fourteen state teachers colleges are now state colleges. California will now be known as California State College.
The pre en t prospects for future growth are exceptional. The
college enrollment in 1958-1959 was 1827 and a special program
for teachers-in-service attracted more than 125 part-time students. In

,7

!!ddition, a series of workshops and conferences provide in-service
training and professional stimulation for the college service area
c:rnsisting of Washin gton, Fayette, Greene and Somerset Counties.
The college is located at California, Pennsylvania ; a commu•
nity of 7500 persons located on the Monongahela River, 35 miles
so uth of Pittsburgh ; 16 miles from Uniontown; 25 miles fr om Washington , Pennsylvania; and 25 miles from Waynesburg. The college can be most easily reached over U. S. Route 40 which comes
within four miles of California at Malden or over Pennsylvania
Route 88.
The community is within easy reach of the lower Monongahela
steel and coal producing region and is served by several bus lines.
A network of secondary roads provide transportation for a large
commuting population.

8

Objectives of the College
The teacher in the twentieth cen tury is recognized as a more
important figure in national life than at an y other time in history.
As a result, teacher training is being emphasized through a program
fo:- recruiting able students, by curriculum revision designed to
provide competent teachers, and by a renewed emphasis upon content in teacher education.
California recognizes that a teacher m ust have a background
of general knowledge, a mastery of his area of specialization, and
adeq uate professional training. The California program of teacher
education is designed to provide this training through its competent faculty and a revised curricular and co-curricular program.
To secure these go als the faculty and administrative staff, after
long and free discussion , have adopted the following resolution:
The primary purpose for maintaining California State College,
is to educate people for the teaching profession. To accomplish this
goal we seek :
To provide the opportunity fo r a general education in th ose
areas necessar y to help student become responsible citizens
and capable leaders in a democrati c society.
To develop their intellect ual, social, physical, cultural, spiritual,
and aesthetic potentialities.
To prepare students for teachin g by requiring a master y of pro fessio nal kn owledge and skills esse ntial to all teaching and
special proficiency in th eir areas of specialization .
To lead the student to develop a deep and abiding co mmitm ent
to the concepts, methods, and procedures of a democratic
society.
To help the stud ent become a creative perso n capable of making
critical judgments based upon knowledge and reason.
A secondary purpo e of th e college and fac ulty is to enco urage
the teaching profession to gain trength , presti ge, and tand ards
9

through research, faculty professional activities and continued evaluation.
To summarize: In educating a student at California State
College, our goal is to help in the development of a person who will
be generally educated, professionally oriented, creative, critical, and
loyal.
Students come to California to become teachers and in addition
to the standards established by the Admissions Committee, should
possess a love of learning and a spirit of inquiry that will enable
them to formulate questions, seek the solutions to such questions
and join with enthusiasm as others seek to achieve similar go als.

lO

Curricula
The program for the trammg of teachers at California is not
greatly different than an y good program of higher education. It
incorporates the aim of a broad liberal education, the techniques of
profession al education and the academic trainin g in depth that is
required fo r success in any field of endeavor.
Instruction at California is planned to help each student to
acquire the ability to communicate with others, to understand himself and his relationship to others, to appreciate the meaning of his
historic past, to relate himself to the scientific world in which he lives
and to develop aesthetically. The general education program is
meant to be a quality program which will open the way to an
interest in things intellectual which will permit the student to continue to learn from study and experience long after graduation .
Professional education courses are meant to be the means
whereby the prospective teacher, through a combination of lecture,
discussion, and experience develops the techniques for transmitting
the concepts and information he acquires to the student he teaches.
Sin ce individual differences are so great and since learning takes
place under a variety of handicaps and/ or motivations, the good
teacher is on e who knows something of the above and adjusts to
th em to the mutual advantage of student and pupil.
The academic disciplines or other areas of specialization provide Califo rnia students with education in depth. It is the ambition
of each department to provide training that will serve as a firm
foun dation fo r teaching, future study, or additional independent
achievement. The completion of a college education does not provide the student with all of the answers but only with th e insight
by which he continues the search.
Briefl y, work at California consists of three inter-related groups
of course : the b asic or general education courses, the professional
or "education" courses, and the specialized courses. Together they
help to equip studen ts with the breadth of knowledge, the power of
understanding, and the analytical ability to become able members
of the profession and 1rnrthy citizens.

11

Admissions
Entrance requirements are established for the purpose of determining, in so far as possible, th ose persons who are most likely
to succeed in college. By doin g this, California State College is
maintaining its obligati on to th ose students wh o expect to g rad uate
from a school wh ose standards are worth y of respect. Prope r admission standards also help indicate to the prospective studen t hi s
chances for college success.
Admissions stand ards are constantly being studied by the Admissions Committee co mposed of members of the faculty a nd administrative staff and are bein g raised to satisfy the exacting
demands placed upon teacher education.
Education is an important and exactin g j ob that make it neces!:!ary for the teacher to possess qualities and abilities of a special
type. The teacher must be academically sound , must be ph ysically
able, and must possess character and personality traits that will enable him to represent the standards deemed desirable by our society.

each course.
The quality point system requ ires th at a stu dent, befo re he can
be graduated, must complete all required and elective courses in Lhe
curriculum whi ch he is pursuing, have the minimum number of
credits required by his curriculu m, 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
th e quality point computation.
Each credit of work completed is awarded quality points which
are computed accordin~ o the following scale : each credit of©
grade is m ultiplied byl~B grade by 2, C grade by 1, D grade by
0, and F grade by 0. Courses dropped with out the consent of th e
Dean of Instruction shall constitute an F. Courses in which P grades
are given do not cou nt in quality point co mputati on.

Loans and Employment
STUDENT LOANS AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Some fin ancial assistance is available to students who demon strate a capacity for college work and a need for aid. Recen t legislation by the Congress of the United States has made funds available for students who qualify.
The National Defense Student Loan Program was authorized
by the ational Defense Education Act of 1958. This program
makes loans available to students under liberal terms, with specific
scholarship provisions for student borrowers who later enter public
elementary and secondary teaching.
The college has th e major responsibility for administering the
provisions of th e Act. Applications to participate in the program
must be submitted to the President's Office. E ligibility to participate in the program is based on the follo wi ng qualifications:

1.

A student must be in full time attendance at the college
(full time attendance is construed as a minimum of 12
semester hours of credit. )
2. Academic proficiency of a 2.0 quality point average or
superior capacity in one of the areas of mathematics, scien ce
or modern foreign language.
3. Needy students as evidenced by the certification by respon sible persons.
The low cost of an education at California State College is made
possible by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In man y instances
even this cost is too great for worthy students. As a result many
persons interested in teacher education have contributed to a student loan program which makes possible either short term or long
term loans to students. The directors of the fund have established
a num ber of reg ulation s co ncerning student loans.
In formation on these regulations an d the procedures whereby
loans may be obtained is available from the Secretary to the Student Loan Fund Board of Directors, Mr. A. J. Hoover, Assistant
Profe3rnr of Indmtrial Arts.
Financial aid is not given for more than one semester at a
ti me and a no te is required for each loan. Liberal provisions for

PROFESSIONAL LABORATORY EXPERIENCES

To supplement th e classroom preparation of teache rs a pro•
gram of experiences in teacher-related activities is provided and becomes a part of the college record of each stud ent. With the co•
operation of the faculty members who teach Professional Education
courses, each student maintains a record of all campus or off-cam·

to time as a basis for the evaluation of student growth. Laboratory
experiences records are filed with the Director of Guidance and are
available to prospective employers through the Placement Office.
Man y organizations provide co-curricular opportunities in the
general area of athletics, dramatics, forensics, journalism, student
governm en t, music and recreation. A complete li st of such organizati ons is available in the student handb ook (Vulcan ) and a student is guided to his area of special interest through the orientation program . Student activities are considered an adjunct to the
academic program and not a sub titute for it.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES

Student activities develop initiative, co -operative effort , an d
lead ership. The college encourages a varied program and work
with the students through the Office of the Dean of Men and the
Dean of Women in achieving the desired results. All students are
required to take active part in co-curricular activities as a requirement for advanced standing.
Th e realization of individual potentialities often req u1re activity beyond the class room. As a result California maintain s a

42

variety of co-curricular activities to provide the entire student body
with an opportunity for the development of th ose social, cultural,
intellectual and physical qualities essential for good citizenship, the
good life, and good teaching. Opportunities for real self govern ment are provided through the Student Congress, Student Cabin et,
The Day Womens Council, The Day Mens Council, the Dormitory
Coun cils and other agencies for student control.
ADVISORY SYSTEM

The College gives particular attention to the new student. By
mean of tests and interviews, efforts are made to determin e th e
in terests and abilities of each student. The results of these tests
and interviews are available to every faculty member concerned.
While faculty members are called upon to assist with the g uidance program, certain members have been assigned the following
definite responsibilitie :
1.

The Dean of Instruction and Directors of Curriculum assumes responsibility for educational g uidance: select ion of
curriculums, course requirements, certification requirements,
