ST A T E TEACH ERS COLLEGE A T SHIPPENSBURG

GENERAL INFORMATION
Shippensburg is an Accredited College

Regional and national accrediting agencies have been es­
tablished in the United States to assure the public that
recognized standards are being met b y colleges, and to guard
parents o f prospective students from exploitation at the hands
o f unworthy colleges. The acknowledged accrediting agency
for this region o f the country is the M iddle States Association,
and this college is fully accredited by it. 'The national ac­
crediting agency for teachers colleges is the American A sso­
ciation of Colleges for Teacher Education which has a mem­
bership o f 314 fully accredited teacher education institutions
including the State Teachers College at Shippensburg. The
College is also a member o f the National Association of
Business Teacher-Training Institutions.
Location

The College is located on the northwest edge of Ship­
pensburg, which is a town o f approximately seven thousand
people, situated in the beautiful Cumberland Valley, forty
miles southwest of Harrisburg on Route I 1 of the Pennsyl­
vania highway. Carlisle, the county seat o f Cumberland
County, lies twenty-two miles from Shippensburg toward Har­
risburg, and Chambersburg, the county seat o f Franklin Coun­
ty, eleven miles in the opposite direction. The College is
less than ten miles south of the Blue Mountain terminal on
the well-known Pennsylvania Turnpike. Gettysburg, the coun­
ty seat o f Adam s County, with its famous battlefield, now a
national shrine, is but thirty miles distance. Rich farm lands,
broad meadows, and delightful woodlands bounded by mountains to the north and south, characterize this valley which is
one o f the richest agricultural sections of the country.
History

Originally known as the Cumberland Valley State Normal
School, the institution was founded in 1871. The first class
was graduated in 1874. For more than fifty years the school
continued to serve as a State Normal School, graduating stu­
dents prepared and legally qualified to teach in the public
schools of the Commonwealth. A fter 1922, high school grad­
uation was required for admission to the institution. In 19 2 6

the State Council o f Education authorized four-year curriculums based upon high school graduation. In August, 1927,
by authority o f the General Assembly, this institution became
a college with the right to grant degrees. Its name was
changed to the State Teachers College at Shippensburg.
•The principals and presidents o f the college have been
as follow s: G eorge P. Beard, 1872-75; I. N. Hays, 1875-78;

Campus

The campus consists o f eighty acres with two fully equip­
ped athletic fields, Eckles Field and Heiges Field; ten tennis
courts; a quarter mile track with a two-twenty straight away;
an archery range; and an open-air Shakespearean theatre.
The entire campus has been carefully landscaped with beauti­
ful shrubs, trees, flowers and convenient driveways. The
thirteen all brick buildings on the campus are arranged in a
curving line on the crest o f a hill, sloping gently to the
southeast and around a quadrangle in the center of the campus.
Buildings

O LD MAIN, located in the front center and highest part
of the campus, is the oldest building first used in 1871. It
has been modernized at various times. Its beautiful tower
can be seen for miles in any direction. The first floor con­
tains the offices of the Business Manager, the Cafeteria, the
Bookstore, Post O ffice, quarters for commuting students, sev­
eral supply rooms, Dining Hall and Kitchen. The second
floor contains the offices of the President, Dean o f Instruction,
Director of Student Teaching and Placement, and Registrar,
ten classrooms, a number of faculty offices and the “ Old
Main” auditorium. The third and fourth floors are used for
the men’ s dormitory.
H O R TO N H A LL, the dormitory for women, was built
in 1894 and is located west of “ O ld Main.” It is joined with
“ O ld Main” b y a bridge on the second floor level. In 1921
the building was wired for electricity, and a small addition
was built in 1929. The renovations made in 1950 provide
a lobby for each o f the four floors and sixteen additional
rooms for students on the first floor, and two indoor fire
proof stairways which replace the old outside fire escapes.

courts. This building contains the laundry, paint shop, car­
penter shop, plumbing shop, machine shop, storage room
and garages. A n auxiliary heat plant is attached which furn­
ishes hot water and steam for the summer needs, thus per­
mitting the main heat plant to be closed.
The PRESIDENT’S RESIDENCE is a three story brick
house located on the southwest corner of the campus.
Library

The library is modern and exceptionally well equipped.
It contains a collection of over 38,000 books arranged on
convenient stacks. The magazine racks carry over 250 cur­
rent publications. There is ample space and efficient up-todate facilities for study, research, and recreation. A collec­
tion of over 11,000 pictures, a clipping file, a large pamphlet
collection and an interesting group o f textbooks and courses
of study all serve to meet the needs o f the college students.
Students can readily find recreational reading in the field of
biography, drama, fiction and current events. Trained librar­
ians are on duty at all times to assist students in finding
material and to make the library the real heart of the collegi­
ate work.
Audio-Visual Aids

The Audio-Visual Education Department, which includes
the Audio-Visual Aids Library and the Audio-Visual Educa­
tion Laboratory and Projection R oom , is located on the North
Ground Floor of the College Library. M ore than 15 00 audio­

TH E TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD

Library. This library is a depository for adds listed in Bulle­
tin 208, Department of Public Instruction. A ll classes in
Audio-Visual Education meet in the Audio-Visual Education
Laboratory, also used as a projection room for college classes.
This Laboratory also maintains a display o f more than 1300
teaching aids, such as exhibits, models, mock-ups, dioramas,
specimens, and objects.
Laboratory Schools

The college uses its own campus Laboratory School as
well as the public schools at Shippensburg, Chambersburg,
Carlisle, W aynesboro, Camp Hill, Steelton and Harrisburg
for student teaching. These public school organizations give
the college students an opportunity to secure practical exper­
ience in an elementary school, a junior high school, or a senior
high school. W hile students are doing their practicum for
one full semester, they have available the various facilities
o f the college, and the course in Professional Practicum is
integrated with student teaching. School visitations and o b ­
servations are extremely important in implementing the work
given in college classes.
Social Program

Shippensburg is a co-educatio,nal college. The enroll­
ment of men has been half the total student body. Profes­
sional and social activities of many kinds are carried on
throughout the year consisting of assemblies, dramatics, ath­
letics, field days, intramural contests of various kinds, dances,
lectures and entertainments. Conferences and trips to places
o f historic, scientific, and educational interest occur frequently
under proper supervision.
Health Program and Insurance

Recognizing health as a basic objective of education, this
college makes ample provision for the protection and develop­
ment o f the health o f its students. In addition to the health
examinations required for admission, provision is made for
the annual administration of the Mantoux test or mass X-rays.
A registered nurse is in full time attendance at the college
infirmary where two wards, one for women and one for men,
as well as private isolation rooms are maintained. The college
physician is on campus every day and is constantly subject
to calL
Arrangements have been made b y the College whereby
students may enroll in the Blue Cross Plan for hospital care
if they are not already members o f their parents’r contracts.

This voluntary, non-profit plan, sponsored b y the hospitals, is
a way to assure yourself, and if married your family the best
hospital care when you need it without worry, debt, or loss of
savings.
Shippensburg offers two plans of student insurance which
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’ , physi­
cians’ and surgeons’ fees, laboratory costs, medicines,
and, in fact any medical expense incurred as a. result
of an accident.
2. Accident and Sickness Reimbursement— Reimburse­
ment 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 from the expense
of the more costly illnesses and injuries requiring hospital
care, surgical treatment, x-ray examinations or consultants’
services. Rates and detailed information can be secured
through the College Business Office.
Conduct

The college recognizes that the standard of conduct b e­
coming a prospective teacher is so high that it excludes all
persons whose habits and conduct are .not worthy o f imitation
by children who may be placed under their instruction. Since
teachers must first be able to discipline themselves, it is the
aim o f the college to consistently cultivate right habits of
self-discipline on the part of its students.
Religious Life

Shippensburg provides opportunities for wholesome and
religious church life. A t the beginning of each semester, the
names of all students are forwarded to the clergymen of the
churches designated b y the students,pand they are urged to
continue their church duties and obligations. Many of the
churches have activities to which the students are especially
invited.
A m on g the churches represented in the Shippensburg
area, the following are found: Catholic, Church of the Breth-

20

TH E TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD

ren, Church o f G od, Episcopal, Evangelical United Brethren,
Lutheran, Methodist, Nazarene, Presbyterian, Reform ed and
United Brethren.
Summer Session

In the summer, two three-week and one six-week sessions
are conducted to meet the various needs o f different groups
o f students:
1. Teachers who wish to increase the scope o f their
teaching certificate or complete work for a degree.
2. Students who find it advantageous to continue their
education throughout the year, thus graduating at
an earlier date.
3. Students who desire to make up certain deficiencies.
During these sessions a wide variety o f courses are
offered in business, elementary, secondary, and nursing educa­
tion. A special descriptive bulletin will be sent upon request.
College Living Accommodations

Students at Shippensburg State Teachers College live in
dormitories, in their own homes, or in approved residences.
The dormitory rooms have single beds furnished with pil­
lows, sheets, pillow slips, and one blanket. Students should
furnish a study lamp, extra blankets, towels, wash cloths, and
soap. Many students provide window curtains, dresser scarf,
bed spread, and small throw rugs. Radios are permitted if
operated with due consideration for others. Other electric
appliances are not permitted in the rooms.
A list o f available town rentals will be provided students
upon application so they may locate a room of their own
choice.

THE TEACHERS COLLEGE HERALD

THE PURPOSE OF THE COLLEGE
This college is a co-educational, professional school for
the preparation o f teachers. The completion of any one of its
five curriculums leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in
Education and to certification for teaching in the public schools
o f Pennsylvania. The college believes that the curriculums
also afford a general and liberal preparation for complete
living, and that such professional training is an effective
preparation for parenthood and for constructive citizenship.
W e believe, further, that the teaching profession provides
a most significant social service, as upon the efficiency of
the public school and upon the intelligence and devotion of
its teachers depend in large measure the hope and destiny of
the nation.
W e believe that our students can reach a high level of
self-realization and professional efficiency through self dis­
cipline, intellectual achievement, and social, moral, and spirit­
ual growth. W e also believe that the nature o f the educational
process is growth and guided development of the individual.
.Believing in these things, therefore, we are striving to develop
the individual student to the greatest possible extent within
his capacities, so that he can live successfully, demonstrate
personal integrity, and make his contribution to society. W e
also strive to use the democratic process in the administration
of the college and in the relations among administrators,
faculty, and students, as its use is considered essential to the
student s daily thinking and living.
T o that end, the administration and the faculty of this
college are working together to demonstrate these tenets
through the following objectives:
1. T o maintain a cooperative faculty continuously grow­
ing in professional interest and ability.
2. T o recruit and admit, in so far as possible, the more
desirable graduates from approved high schools.
3. T o evaluate the curriculums continuously in view of
adaptation to specific current needs.
4. T o foster sound learning, broad cultural background
and ethical professional knowledge, attitudes, and
techniques.
5. T o provide a program of curricular experiences
through which the student will develop academic,
social and personal growth.

SHIPPENSBURG COLLEGE ISSUE

6. T o maintain an effective cooperative organization
for the fluid articulation between college classes and
practices within the training schools, so that students
may clearly recognize the application bf professional
knowledge.
7. T o give the students practical experience in the dem o­
cratic processes o f group planning in executing ac­
tivities o f com m on interest.
8. T o encourage students to recognize the value of
worthy family relationships and of the services to be
rendered b y teachers in a community.
9. T o provide opportunities for the student to acquire
both the knowledge of and the appreciation for the
W O R K O F TH E TEACH ER.
The college aims to attain its objectives through the
processes outlined in a set o f policies adopted b y the faculty.
Committees have the responsibility o f making these policies
meaningful or revising them in keeping with the needs o f the
college.

Student Load

The normal student load is 16 semester hours o f credit
each semester. No student may carry a program in excess
o f 18 hours without special permission from the Dean or
the Dean’s A dvisory Committee. A “ B” average in the pre­
ceding semester is the usual requirement for carrying a heavier
course load.
Students w ho are on academic probation; who have
health problems, or who are carrying a heavy program of
work outside o f college, may be required to carry less than
a normal load of classes.
Classification of Students

Students are classified according to the number of sem­
ester hours com pleted as follow s: 0-29 semester hours, fresh­
man; 30-59 semester hours, sophom ore; 60-89 semester hours,
junior; 90 or more semester hours, seniors.
Marking and Point System

A five-point marking system (A ,B ,C ,D ,F ) is used to
indicate the quality o f academic work. “ A ” indicates that
originality has been in evidence in attaining the objectives of
the course in a superior manner; “ B” indicates that the o b ­
jectives o f the course have been met in an above average
manner, but that there has been little evidence o f originality;
“ C” indicates that the assigned work has been done satis­
factorily; “ D ” indicates that the w ork has been below average
but is passing; “ F” indicates that the objectives o f the course
have not been met. A n incomplete (Inc.) is recorded for a
course when a student has failed to complete written work,
laboratory work, or has been absent from the final examina­
tion due to circumstances beyond his control. Such incomplete
work should b e com pleted at the earliest possible date, but
in all cases the requirements must be com pleted b y the ninth
week o f the next semester o f registration. A n incomplete
which is ,not rem oved within the prescribed period becomes
an “ F” .
The academic average o f each student is determined by
assigning numerical values to the letter marks and weighing
according to the number of class hours. The values assigned
are: “ A ” , 3 points; “ B” , 2 points; “ C” , 1 point; “ D ” , 0
points. The grade-point ratio is com puted b y multiplying
the hours o f credit in a course b y the points assigned to the
grade earned in that course, totaling the credit hours and
points for all courses completed, and dividing the total num­
ber of points b y the total number o f credit hours completed.

Probationary Status

When a student’s grade-point ratio falls below the re­
quired minimum, serious consideration is given to the student’s
future status. Such students will receive sympathetic sugges­
tions from the respective faculty members so that they may
be better able to decide whether they should request the privJ ? B C.°.ntlnumg their work with probationary status. Stu­
dents desiring to continue on probation should submit written
requests, with substantiating reasons, to the Dean. Such
requests may be considered b y the Dean or the Dean’ s A d ­
visory Committee.
Students who receive permission to continue an proba­
tion, will, at the Dean’s discretion, be permitted to register
tor no m ore than 12 semester hours o f advanced work. In
addition, such students will, if they so desire, be permitted to
re-take courses in which they have received below average
marks. A t the completion o f such i“ re-take courses” the mark
received will be substituted for the previous mark in deter­
mining quality points. Students on probation who fail to show
the necessary improvement may be requested to withdraw
rrom the college.
Student Teaching

Student teaching is a most essential part o f teacher prep­
aration and at Shippensburg covers a full time assignment
tor one semester. Learning proper professional attitudes, legal
requirements, pupil records, extra-class activities, community
contacts as well as classroom techniques are necessary parts
or this experience.

F A C U L T Y A D VISER S

The students are to consider each o f their instructors
as an official adviser. The instructors o f this college study the
educational and social background as well as the aptitude and
interest o f their students. On the office door o f each instructor
is posted the office hours during which time students are
expected to com e for help. Many other scheduled confer­
ences are held between the instructors and the students. Prob­
lems and difficulties o f the students receive patient and sym­
pathetic attention, thus avoiding many pitfalls which ordinarily
befall students without such guidance.
COM M ENCEM ENT

There is one commencement exercise held each year,
usually the last week in May. A t this annual commencement,
students who have com pleted the required work for degrees
from the summer o f the year preceding the time o f the com ­
mencement exercises, constitute the graduating class for that
year. A ll students who com plete degree requirements within
this one year period are required to participate in all parts
of the exercises including the wearing o f the cap and gown
on the day that degrees are conferred.
CERTIFICATION OF TEACH ERS

Pennsylvania law requires an applicant for a teachers
certificate to be a citizen of the United States.
A student who receives a college degree after completing
a four-year curriculum will be granted a provisional College
Certificate, which is issued b y the Department o f Public In­
struction, provided an application has been filled out b y the

sistance to school officials in locating well qualified teachers
who fit the requirements o f vacancies in the schools o f the
Commonwealth.

N E W EM PHASIS

The new curriculums hold a broad basis o f general edu­
cation— the com m on learnings necessary for living in the

fields of teaching has been provided.
SELECTION O F CURRICULUM

Curriculum and areas o f specialization should be selected
with care and with the advice of college authorities. Many
students will undertake graduate study after completing the
undergraduate preparation for teaching. Since requirements
for admission to graduate schools vary widely, not only with
different colleges, but with the fields o f study within a given
college, undergraduates are advised to explore during the
junior and senior year the opportunities and requirements
for graduate study in their chosen fields to enable them to
meet the special requirements wherever possible.

ELEM EN TAR Y CURRICULUM

The curriculum for the preparation of elementary teachers
is one of the best in the country. It provides a broad academic
background in addition to the various professional courses
necessary for an elementary teacher. Every course is given
with a distinctive purpose.
Professional Opportunities

For the past twenty years the demand for teachers
completing the elementary curriculum has surpassed the sup­
ply. Recently the shortage of elementary teachers has been
most critical and the graduate in this field has had the priv­
ilege of choosing one of many offers. The demand has been
so great that a number of students have accelerated their
program through attending the summer sessions, thus graduat­
ing in less than the regular four year period.
Elementary teachers in Pennsylvania receive the same
beginning salary as teachers in high schools. Teachers in rural
districts where the cost of living is usually lower, receive the
same initial salary as teachers in larger towns and cities.
Teaching experience in the elementary field is very advantag­
eous for young men and women who desire to becom e ad­
ministrators, supervisors, or specialists.
Graduates of the elementary curriculum may have their
college certificate extended to include the secondary fields by
attending college several summer sessions. Graduates in the
secondary curriculum may have their college certificate ex­
tended to include the elementary field b y completing thirty
additional hours of appropriate professional courses. In past
years a number o f students who com pleted the secondary
curriculum have taken this added work in the elementary field
and have made rapid progress in the profession.

SE C O N D A R Y CURRICULUM

The curriculum for the preparation o f secondary teach­
ers is flexible because o f the selection o f m ajor and minor
fields o f concentration. These fields o f concentration becom e
the fields in which the student is certified to teach. During
the past number of years the demand for teachers o f science
and mathematics has more often exhausted the supply than
in some other fields especially English and social studies.
There is a demand for teachers who possess an ad­
vanced degree in subject fields. This curriculum is so devised
that a student can complete a sufficient number o f courses
in an academic field to give the necessary foundation for such
advanced degrees.

TH E TEACHERS COLLEGE H ERALD

BUSINESS ED U CATIO N CURRICULUM

The State Teachers College, Shippensburg, Pennsylvania,
has been specifically designated b y the State Department of
Public Instruction and the State Council of Education to pre­
pare teachers o f business subjects for high schools and junior
high schools of the Commonwealth. The fulfillment o f the
four-year requirement leads to the degree of Bachelor of
Science in Education, thereby certificating the graduates in
the field of business education as teachers or as supervisors.
Young men and women w ho are graduated from the
high school academic, business, or general course are afforded
a splendid opportunity to obtain preparation in teaching
techniques and in business skills.
Purpose

The purpose o f the curriculum in Business Education is
to provide thorough and systematic preparation in the funda­
mentals o f business education, thus giving an intelligent under­
standing o f both the generalized and specialized spheres of
education encompassed in the activities o f business education.
Teaching Sequence

The Department o f Business Education offers four teach­
ing sequences: Combined, Secretarial, Retail Selling, and A c ­
counting. The com bined sequence leads to certification in the
three m ajor fields o f business— shorthand, typewriting, and
accounting. The Secretarial, Retail Selling, and Accounting
sequences permit more freedom in the selection o f electives,
thus providing an opportunity for certification in other fields,
or permitting certification in two Business Education sequences.
In addition to the sequence elected, certification to teach
business law, business arithmetic, economics, clerical practice
and office machines, business English, and junior business
training is secured.
Equipment

M odern office machines are a part o f the equipment of
the Department. Calculating and adding machines, posting
machines, duplicating equipment— mimeograph, mimeoscopes,
hectograph-— dictating and transcribing units, and other upto-date office appliances enable the student to obtain both a
theoretical knowledge and practical training in the use o f die
mechanical time-savers o f business.

SHEPPENSBURG COLLEGE ISSUE

Opportunities

There is a large and growing demand for qualified de­
gree holding teachers o f business education in the high schools
of the Commonwealth. The demand for stenographic and
typewriting teachers far exceeds the supply. Orientation and
exploratory courses, and increased guidance in junior high
schools have caused a demand for teachers of elementary
business training and kindred subjects. The realization that
retail selling needs trained personnel has caused an impetus
in the demand for teachers prepared in this phase of business
education. The main outcome o f the curriculum is qualified
teachers o f business subjects, but various concomitant learnings
emerge during this period of preparation.
Practical Experience

Practical experience in various phases o f business is a
vital and essential part o f the preparation of prospective
business education teachers. This experience, to be of the
most value, should b e in the field or fields in which the
student is preparing to teach. Such experience can be ac­
