FOREWORD
This number of “The Herald” contains a body of general informa­
tion that will be of interest alike to the student-body, the alumni and
the friends of “Shippensiburg.”
For the students it will provide in convenient form a number of
facts relative to the college that every new comer needs to know to­
gether with suggestions and regulations regarding life on the campus
that will help to make that life more worthwhile both to the indivi­
dual student and to the college community of which he is a part.
For the Alumni, this edition of the Herald will be a pleasant re­
minder of the old days spent at “Shippensburg” as well as a picture
of some of the changes which tile intervening years have made. The
Alumni will be interested in the credit point system that has been in­
troduced by faculty action and which goes into effect with the fall
term this year.
For the friends of “Shippensburg” this material will show in an
intimate way the procedures by which the college justifies itself to its
students and to the friends of Pennsylvania’s teacher training pro­
gram.
It was at first intended to publish this year a “Hand Book” for
students. The present necessity for economy forbade such a publi­
cation for any of the State Teachers Colleges. There remained,
however, the final edition of the “Herald” for which the contract had
already been let. It seemed advisable, therefore, to include at least
some of the hand book material in this fourth edition of “The Herald”,
the editors believing that such material would be not only valuable to
the student-body but interesting as well to the larger circle of “The
Herald’s” readers.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE ALUMNI
FROM PRESIDENT ROWLAND
Dear Alumnus:
As you doubtless know the special session of the General As­
sembly called by Governor Pinchot adjourned on August 19th. Cer­
tain curtailments were made in the appropriation made by the re­
gular session of the General Assembly of 1931 among which was a
reduction of one million twelve thousand dollars ($1,012,000.00) in the
appropriation made to the State Teachers Colleges. The Governor
had already tentatively reduced the appropriation to the state aided
educational institutions as well but these appropriaions were subse­
quently restored in full, leaving the State Teachers Colleges the only
educational institutions in the State participating in the economies
made necessary in order that monies might be appropriated to un­
employment relief.
While we are happy to suffer in such cause, it is regrettable that
the fine, necessary professional service rendered by these institutions
to the public school system of the commonwealth should have to
suffer any reduction at a time 'when the forces of education should be
more than ever alert and competent to meet the problems of a dis­
ordered and disturbed economic situation.
The enrollment at all the State Teachers Colleges must be re­
duced ten per cent and certain other economies affected in order to
absorb this substantial reduction in appropriation. It is important
that all the friends of the State Teachers Colleges should know that
although the biennial appropriation made by the 1931 Legislature was
in round figures ten and one-half million dollars, six and one-half
millions of this sum was received by the State in fees from the stu­
dents, leaving but four millions of dollars actually appropriated by
the State for the support of these institutions from the state treasury.
Not a great sum of money to sustain fourteen schools of the Common­
wealth when the State spends in the same biennium between eight and
nine million dollars as state aid to the University of Pennsylvania,
University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania State College, Temple Uni­
versity and three medical colleges.
Shippensburg however, will carry on the program on which she
has embarked with we hope no lessening of enthusiasm or efficiency.
The old two year course has been definitely abandoned and all students
entering in September 1932 will enter one of the four year courses. It
will however, continue to be possible for a student to enter the teach­
ing profession at the end of the first two years of the four year
course in elementary education.

Shippensburg has been designated to carry a course in progres­
sive education as a variant of the four year elementary curriculum
and we are looking forward to some interesting results from this new
field of work.
An appropriation to provide for a much needed new heating plant
had‘the approval of all the proper authorities and bids had been in­
vited from responsible contractors for the erection of this plant. The
special session of the legislature however, removed all appropriations
for construction and we are under the necessity of facing another
winter with our outworn inadequate heating service. We can only
hope that it will not break down during the' heating season and cause
the college to close its doors. Provision for this heating plant must
be made iby the next legislature and we urge all the good friends of
the college to use their influence to this end.
The 1933 session of the General Assembly will have to make ade­
quate provision for the support of the State Teachers Colleges for the
next biennium. Not less than four million five hundred thousand
dollars ($4,500,000.00) state appropriation in addition to the six mil­
lion dollars representing students fees, etc., which are forwarded to
the state treasury will be needed if the work of these institutions is
not to suffer dangerously. This appropriation however, is for opera­
tion and maintenance only and makes no provision for new construc­
tion such as our much needed heating plant.
The Ezra Lehman Memorial Library is at last completed and was
in service during the summer session. It will be dedicated with ap­
propriate exercises on Home Coming Day which has been fixed this
year for Saturday, November 12th at which time we trust large num­
bers of alumni will find the opportunity to return to their Alma Mater.
The Class of 1923 is making a gift to the college of a portrait of
Dr. Lehman to hang in the library. An artist of established reputa­
tion and ability has been secured to paint this portrait and we have
every reason to believe that it will delight not only the class which
makes this generous gift but all other graduates and friends of the
college who knew and loved Dr. Lehman.
The inauguration of President Rowland will occur with appro­
priate exercises on Saturday, October 22nd. You are also cordially
invited to attend this event.
Pursuant to our obligation for professional leadership in this
service area representing the ten counties, of Dauphin, Cumberland,
Perry, Juniata, Huntingdon, Adams, Franklin, Fulton, Mifflin and
Bedford, we are holding a service area conference for the persons en­
gaged in and interested in education from this area on Saturday,
October 1st. Helpful programs are being set up for this day.

May I take this occasion to w ish' you all good fortune and an
enriched satisfaction in the work which lies at your hand as this col­
lege enters upon its fifty-ninth year of professional service to this
community and to the Commonwealth.
Very sincerely yours,
ALBERT LINDSAY ROWLAND |

GREETING
In choosing Shippenshurg as your college you have elected to pre­
pare for the teaching profession in a college devoted exclusively to.
this purpose. As a student in such a college you will have a definite
and serious aim which should color and control all that you do here.
There will be lots of hard work and many opportunities for play, re­
creation and entertainment. ¡But whether at work or at play the
college wants to be proud of its students and the extent to which the
college can he proud of its students is the extent to which the
students are justified in being proud of the college. You are enter­
ing upon a preparation for the greatest social service profession in
the world. Be at all times worthy of the high choice which you have
made.
ALBERT LINDSAY ROWLAND,
President.

essary for proper administration.
At the beginning of each semester a schedule of classes is handed
to each student by the Dean of Instruction. It is the duty of each
student to enroll in each class and to have the teacher of the subject
sign the schedule card as well as the Admission Slip. When the last
signature is obtained the card must be returned to the office of the
Dean of Instruction.
CLASS ATTENDANCE
Class attendance is required. All absences must be explained in
writing to the Dean olf Instruction. All work missed by reason of
such' absence must be made up to the satisfaction of the instructor.
GRADES
For the purpose of reporting the progress of and giving assist­
ance to each student, each semester is divided into four periods: the
first of six weeks and three other periods of four weeks each. At the
end of the first six weeks of each semester, each teacher hands to the
Dean’s office a record of the work of the students who are not doing

satisfactory work. A report is made to each student by his advisor
and when deemed necessary to the parent by the Dean. At the end
of the two succeeding four week periods similar reports are made.
At the end of the semester a permanent grade is recorded for each
student and a copy is sent to' the parents of the students if under
twenty-one years of age.
Our system of grading and its interpretation are as follows:
•

A'—High honor
B—Honor
C— Satisfactory
D—Passing
E—Conditioned - Re-examination permitted
F—Failure, involving repetition of entire course
I—Incomplete

All incomplete work should be completed at the earliest date pos­
sible. In all cases the requirement must be met by the ninth week of
the following semester.
All re-examinations for the first semester will be given during
the ninth week of the second semester. All re-examinations for the
second semester will be given during the fifth week of the summer
session or during the ninth week of the first semester of the following
school year.
QUALITY POINT SYSTEM
A Quality Point System will be put into operation at the open­
ing of the first semester 1932-33.
The system demands that a student, before he can be graduated
must have a number of quality points equal to the number of semester
hours required in the curriculum. That is, a student in the four
year course must have 128 semester hours of credit to be graduated
and under the Quality Point System he must also have 128 quality
points.
Below is an explanation of the scale in this system.
An “A” grade shall give '3 quality points for each semester hour
of credit so marked, a “B” grade, 2 quality points; a “C” grade, 1
quality point; a "D” grade, no quality points; an “F” grade, a minus
quality point, for each semester hour of credit so marked.
Example: A student receiving for his first semesters work the
following grades would have to his credit 19 quality points.

Good College Citizens Will Remember the Following:
Classes should not be subject to interruption by noise made by
students returning from gym classes.
A professional college atmosphere should prevail in the auditor­
ium - at Chapel exercises, concerts and other entertainments. ‘ You
may not want to listen, but others do.
The library is a place to work - not for social visiting.
Groups loitering or congregating in the main halls annoy others
in various ways. Pass on!
The dining room can be made a much pleasanter place if you ob­
serve all the rules of good breeding.
Students returning from evening engagements should go directlyto the dormitories and not loiter elsewhere.
Young women and young men in social groups about the buildings
and campus are expected to conduct themselves in a manner com­
patible with good taste and dignity.

THE DINING ROOM
The Dining Room is one of the social centers of the college. The
table group should form a congenial unit and the time spent at the
table should be the most pleasant of the school day. Plan to spend
at least thirty minutes for breakfast and lunch, and forty-five minu­
tes for dinner.
Each table has a permanent host or hostess who may be either a
member of the faculty or an upper class student. To this host the
students show the same courtesy they would use if they were per­
sonal guests. The host gives all requests for food and service to the
waiter, is offered first choice of food, gives permission if any one is
obliged to leave the table early, and gives the signal to leave when
all the group has finished.
The first meal served is lunch on th e . opening day at 12:25.
Other meals are served according to a schedule posted in the dormi­
tories. Do not leave your rooms until the ringing of the last bell, nor
linger in the corridors after the meal. On entering the dining room,
the center door of which is reserved for faculty members, all stand
until the signal is given to be seated after which there is a moment’s
grace. On Sunday at noon the Doxology is sung before the students
are seated.
Each student must provide his own supply of napkins marked
preferably with both name and laundry number, and attend to the
laundering of the same.
Places are assigned by the following method: A box is placed
in the Second Floor Corridor by the Bulletin Board on the first day of
school. Students place their names on slips of paper and deposit them
in the box, women in groups of two or four, men in groups of three.
The permanent assignments are made on the third day of the semester.
At intervals of two weeks the groups progress to other tables. In
this way a wider acquaintance is promoted.
Guests of students are cared for as follows: Inform the host of
the table when a guest is expected so that a place may be provided.
Secure a meal ticket at the college Supply Room and hand this to the
Head Waiter, who is also authorized to receive money in case guests
arrive unexpectedly. Always introduce the guest to the host of the
table.
Students do not go to other tables than their own without special
permission, unless a group is too small to hold a table. Always go
to your own table; if there are less than five you may go to some other
table where there is a vacancy. If your table is closed over a week­
end you may visit other tables. ‘Stag’ tables are not permitted.
Men students always wear coats in the dining room. Women stu­
dents do not wear middy blouses or heavy sweaters at the table.
Sport clothes are never worn at dinner.

The women students of the State Teachers College, Shippensburg,
Pennsylvania, desire to assume responsibility for the conduct of wo­
men students in their college life, and whereas, it is believed that
such responsibility if given to the students, will make for growth in
character and power, and will promote the best interests of the col­
lege, now, therefore, this organization of students is established for
the purpose of such student government.
To this Association is entrusted the following non-academic mat­
ters, subject to revocation, namely:
The control of women students in the residence halls, on the
campus, in the library, at social functions, on walks and picnics, at
public places in town or in the vicinity of State Teachers College, ac­
cording to the regulations hereinafter enacted.
In cases of misconduct serious enough to involve possibility of
suspension or expulsion from the college, the Student Government
Association shall act by presenting a recommendation from the Dean
of Women and the Student Council to the Discipline Committee, ex­
cept in such cases as are dealt with by the President of the College
acting alone.
The executive authorities of the College promise to support the
Association to the full extent of their powers in enforcing its ap­
proved decisions. The members of the Association, on their side,
promise to cooperate with the President and Faculty of the College,
and earnestly to use the power entrusted to them in maintaining a
high standard of scholarship and life.

Student government is a functional agency in the manifestation
of the democratic demands of America. The capabilities and respon­
sibilities of the student are lodged upon the student. He becomes
aware of his portion of the common enterprise and receives it will­
ingly. He knows that his word and effort, individually regarded,
count. These principles have been carried into action in this insti­
tution in the past years and student government has been a success.
The Men’s Association strives not only to train men for leadership
has a regard for their present general welfare.
It operates not on theory alone, but on actuality through exper­
ience, coupled with logical ideas in the experimental stage. A system
of committees, five in number, is designated; these are: social, regu­
lations, religious, athletic, and general welfare.
The Representative Board, or Student Council, composed of ten
members, controls the affairs of the Men’s Association. The Dean of
Mien is the sponsor of the Association. The remaining members of
the 'Student Council are: President, Secretary-Treasurer, President
of the Varsity Club, President of the Y. M. C. A., Editor of the Cam­
pus Reflector, and members of the three upper classes.

Short meetings of a devotional nature are held in the men’s social
room every Thursday night at 10 P. M.
A joint open meeting is held once a month in the college chapel
where practical problems are discussed by members of the faculty
or by speakers from the outside.
One of the main events of the year is a joint reception that is
given to the new students. This is given this year on September 17
to introduce the new students to the activities of the college.
New students are welcome to every activity of this organization.
It is the policy of the officers of this organization to manifest an in­
terest in all students of the college, especially to the newer students
to whom they offer fellowship and all the'help in their power.
YOUNG WOMEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
The Young Women’s Christian Association aims to promote
campus friendliness, to aid in caring for the spiritual nature of the
students through devotional meetings and Christian fellowship, to
offer opportunities for individual initiative and leadership, and to
render service of a practical type whenever and wherever possible.
These aims are executed through various types of activities and
functions and also through individual contacts. The following are
included in a year’s program: The Big Sister movement, Freshmen
Week and throughout the year, a “Get-Acquainted Party,” Freshmen
Week, Sunday evening prayer meetings, daily prayer meetings in the
dormitories before retiring, a Bible study group which meets once a
week, a Candle Light service early in the fall, a joint Y. W. and Y. M.
Reception in September, Dad’s Day and Mother’s Day with the Y. M.
and Y. W. co-operating, a Christmas Bazaar, a Valentine Party, and
group discussions with members of the organization, faculty members
and outside visitors participating.
The organization renders service in the community, at Thanks­
giving time by co-operating with the Welfare Committee of the
Shippensburg Civic Club; in the teacher training centers, by supplying
milk for undernourished children and by acting as Big Sisters to girls
in high school; in the college, by annually increasing the Y. W. scho­
larship fund; in the dormitory, by providing reading materials in the
Y. W. room; and in the larger fields, by contributing to the national
organization and to national and state projects.
The Y. W. at Shippensburg is affiliated with the national assoc­
iation. Membership is open to all women who are students in the
college. In order to carry on the work of the association a member­
ship fee of fifty cents is contributed each semester. Other sources
of finaucial income are the Christmas Bazaar and candy sales. The
Y. W. most cordially invites and urges every woman who is a student
in our college to join our ranks.

PLEASANT PLACES IN THE VICINITY
OF SHIPPENSBURG
Cumberland Valley and vicinity are hardly surpassed anywhere
in natural beauty of scenery. The valley is about twenty miles wide
and of fascinating geological origin. Nature lovers are thrilled with
the views of the mountains in the distance and are entranced with the
places to which the numerous trails and roads of the mountains give
access. They lead to solitary places that are not lonely. “The tem­
pered light of the woods is like a perpetual morning and is stimulat­
ing and heroic.” Truly there are many days here in every season
“wherein the world reaches its perfection.”
Among spots of particular interest and of rare beauty and which
are consequently pleasant places are the following: Caledonia Park
and a short distance from it the Mont Alto Forestry School; Mercersburg a short distance west from Chambersburg at which place is
located the old and famous academy of the same name; Buchanan’s
birth place a short distance beyond Mercersburg at the foot of the
mountain; Pen Mar about thirty miles from Shippensburg located
upon a beautiful, high elevation overlooking the valley; Roxbury with
the gap in the mountains a short distance west from the college
where is located a fairyland of hemlocks; Doubling Gap about twentyfive miles northeast from Shippensburg, a place of rare beauty and
most inviting on all days; Boiling Springs near Carlisle, south from
it, with a fine park of much beauty; Knotty Ash Park in South Moun­
tain but a short distance away, a splendid place for picnic parties;
Big Pond, a short distance away, sought by those who like swimming.
It is thus seen there is a great variety of out-of-doors where na­
ture can be seen at her best in all aspects and at all times of the
year.
