STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE AT SHIPPENSBURG

GENERAL INFORMATION
Shippensburg is an Accredited College
Regional and national accrediting agencies have been
established in the United States to assure the public that
recognized standards are being met by colleges, and to
guard parents of prospective students from exploitation at
the hands of unworthy colleges. The acknowledged accredit­
ing agency for this region of the country is the Middle
States Association, and this college is fully accredited by it.
The national accrediting agency for teachers colleges is the
National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Educa­
tion, which has a membership of 314 fully accredited
teacher education institutions including the State Teachers
College at Shippensburg. The College is also a member of
the National Association of Business Teacher-Training In­
stitutions.
Location
The College is located on the northwest edge of Ship­
pensburg, which is a town of approximately seven thousand
people, situated in the beautiful Cumberland Valley, forty
miles southwest of Harrisburg on Route 11 of the Penn­
sylvania highway. Carlisle, the county seat of Cumberland
County, lies twenty-two miles from Shippensburg toward
Harrisburg, and Chambersburg, the county seat of Frank­
lin County, 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. Gettys­
burg, the county seat o f Adams County, with its famous
battlefield, now a national shrine, is but thirty miles dis­
tance. Rich farm lands, broad meadows, and delightful
woodlands bounded by mountains to the north and south,
characterize this valley which is one of the richest agricul­
tural sections o f the country.
H istory

Originally known as the Cumberland Valley State Nor­
mal 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 students prepared
in the public schools of the Commonwealth. After

H ealth Program and Insurance

Recognizing health as a basic objective of education,
this college makes ample provision for the protection and
development of the health of 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 attend­
ance 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.
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 whther the accident occurs at college, at
home or while traveling or participating in sports.
Expenses inclde X-rays, hospital bills, nurses’ ,
physicians’ and surgeons’ fees, laboratory costs,
medicines, and, in fact any medical expense in­
curred as a result of an accident.

2.

Accident and Sickness Reimbursement
Reim­
bursement will be made for actual medical ex­
penses, not to exceed $500 for each illness.

The Student Insurance Plans supplement the College
Health Program by protecting the student from the ex­
pense 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
becoming a prospective teacher is so high that it excludes
all persons whose habits and conduct are not worthy of
imitation by children who may be placed under their in­
struction. Since teachers must first be able to discipline
themselves, it is the aim o f the college to consistently cul­
tivate right habits of self-discipline on the part of its stu­
dents.

TH E TE A C H E R S COLLEGE H ER ALD

Religious L ife

Shippensburg provides opportunities for wholesome
and religious church life. At the beginning of each semester,
the names of all students are forwarded to the clergymen
of the churches designated by the students, and they are
urged to continue their church duties and obligations. Many
of the churches have activities to which the students are
especially invited.
Among the churches represented in the Shippensburg
area, the following are found: Catholic, Church of the
Brethren, Church of God, Episcopal, Evangelical United
Brethren, Lutheran, Methodist, Nazarene, Presbyterian,
Reformed and United Brethren.
Summer Session

In the summer, two three-week and one six-week ses­
sions are conducted to meet the various needs of different
groups of students:

THE PURPOSE OF THE COLLEGE
This college is a co-educational, professional school for
the preparation of 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 of Pennsylvania. The college believes that the cur­
riculums 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. We believe, further, that the teaching profes­
sion 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.
We believe that our students can reach a high level of
self-realization and professional efficiency through self
discipline, intellectual achievement, and social, moral, and
spiritual growth. We also believe that the nature of the edu­
cational 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. We also strive to use the democratic
process in the administration of the college and in the re­
lations among administrators, faculty, and students, as its
use is considered essential to the student’s daily thinking
and living.
To that end, the administration and the faculty of this
college are working together to demonstrate these tenets
through the following objectives:
1.

To maintain a cooperative faculty continuously
growing in professional interest and ability.

2.

To recruit and admit, in so far as possible, the more
desirable graduates from approved high schools.

3.

To evaluate the curriculums continuously in view
of adaptation to specific current needs.

4.

To foster sound learning, broad cultural back­
ground and ethical professional knowledge, atti­
tudes, and techniques.

24

TH E TE A C H E R S COLLEGE H ER ALD

5.

To provide a program o f curricular experiences
through which the student will develop academic,
social and personal growth.

6.

To 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 of
professional knowledge.

7.

To give the students practical experience in the
democratic processes of group planning in execut­
ing activities of common interest.

8.

To encourage students to recognize the value of
worthy family relationships and of the services to
be rendered by teachers in a community.

9.

To provide opportunities for the student to acquire
both the knowledge of and the appreciation for the
WORK OF THE TEACHER.

The college aims to attain its objectives through the
processes outlined in a set of policies adopted by the faculty.
Committees have the responsibility of making these policies
meaningful or revising them in keeping with the needs of
the college.

W ork Opportunities

At the College there are opportunities for part-time em­
ployment. These part-time jobs are limited mainly to up­
perclassmen who are definitely in need of financial aid,
who have demonstrated their ability to do satisfactory
academic work, and have proven themselves to be worthy
college citizens. Those positions are confined to work in the
kitchen, dining rooms, library, offices, and in janitorial
duties. Application for such employment should be made
to the President of the College on regular forms provided.
There are occasional work opportunities for part-time
employment in the community. Students who have had ex­
perience in stores, garages, and other types of work can,
at times find odd jobs to do in and around Shippensburg.
These jobs are usually for men and should be obtained
through the Dean of Men.
There is a reasonable number of work opportunities in
private homes where students can receive payment by the
hour or in terms of board or room. Students may make these
contacts through friends, alumni, business manager, or the
Deap of Women prior to the beginning of each semester.
However, students and their parents, or guardians, assume
responsibility for such arrangements in private homes.
THE ALUM NI LOAN FUND

This fund is the result of money contributed by vari­
ous groups and indivduals for the purpose of helping stu­
dents who need financial aid. The fund is administered and
controlled by a board composed of three alumni members,
the College President, and the College Business Manager.
A member of the Junior or Senior Class who is in need
of assistance may secure an application blank from the
President of the College and apply for aid according to the
constitution adopted to administer the fund. Loans may be
made to students who are in the last half of their college
career. The loan has been limited to one hundred dollars
per semester, although more can be secured, the exact
amount determined by the board in accordance with the
merits of the case and the status of the fund.
This fund now has a total of over $8,000 a large per­
centage of which has been in use. Some of the money has
been given in the form of so-called Alumni Scholarship

secondary school record in order to determine his capacity
to do satisfactory college work. In some cases the college
should seek further evidence from the results of a reliable
aptitude test such as the American Council on Education
Psychological Examinations. (On this test, for example,
many students falling below the 25th percentile appear to
have difficulty in achieving academic success in college.)
2. Satisfactory character and personality traits as well
as proper attitudes and interests as determined by the high
school principal, guidance director or other school official
acquainted with the student.
3. Health and physical condition as evidenced by a
health examination by the student’s family physician re­
ported on the adopted form and approved by the college phy­
sician. No student shall be admitted who has, in the opin­
ion of the college, disabilities which would impair his service
as a teacher.
4. Recommendations of two or more college staff mem­
bers following a personal interview of the applicant.
5. For admission to special curricula the college may re­
quire the candidate to take an appropriate aptitude test in
the special field in order to obtain further evidence of abil­
ity to succeed in the student’s chosen field.

lent professional credit toward graduation, is granted or

graduation from the four-year curricula.
AC A D E M IC PROGRESS

To assist each student, a progress report is secured by
the Dean of Instruction each mid-semester and at other
times when the teacher hands to the administration office a
record of the students not doing satisfactory work. A re­
port is made to each student and, when necessary, to the
parents. At the end of the semester, a permanent grade is
recorded for each student. Grades are not reported to the
parents.
Student Load

The normal student load is 16 semester hours of credit
each semester. No student may carry a program in excess
of 18 hours without special permission from the Dean or
the Dean’s Advisory Committee. A “ B” average in the pre­
ceding semester is the usual requirement for carrying a
heavier course load.
Students who are on academic probation, who have
health problems, or who are carrying a heavy program of
work outside of 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 completed as follows: 0-29 semester hours,
freshman; 30-59 semester hours, sophomore; 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 of 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
objectives of the course have been met in an above average
manner,, but that there has been little evidence of originala§H|j 111 indicates that the assigned work has been done
satisfactorily j D indicates that the work has been below
average but is passing; “ F ” indicates that the objectives
of the course have not been met. An incomplete (Inc.) is re­
corded for a course when a student has failed to complete

SH IPPEN SBU RG COLLEGÉ ISSU E

49

written work, laboratory work, or has been absent from th*
final examination due to circumstances beyond b18 ■ ■
Such incomplete work should be completed at the earliest
possible date, but in all cases the requirements must be
completed by the ninth week of the next
tration. An incomplete which ^is >not removed within the
prescribed period becomes an “ F” .
The academic average of each student is determined by
assigning numerical values to the letter marks and weigh­
ing S cold in g to the number of class fours The v a l u e s ^
signed are: “ A ” , 3 points; B , 2 points; C , 1 point, £ ,
0 points. The grade-point ratio is computed by multiplying
the hours of credit in a course by 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 by the total number of credit hours completed.
Standards of W ork Required
Students are expected to make satisfactory progress to­
ward graduation. Such progress is indicated when the stu­
dent maintains cumulative grade-point ratios equal to or
above the minimums shown below
Freshmen, end of first semseter .50 (- 8 quality points)
Freshmen, end of second semester .60 (-13 quality points)
Sophomore, end of first semester .75 (-12 quality points)
Sophomore, end of second semester .85 (-10 quality points)
Junior, end of first semester
.90 (- 8 quality points)
Junior, end of second semester
.95 ( -6 quality points)
Senior, both semesters
1-00 (Quality points and
credits equal)
Probationary Status
When a student’s grade-point ratio falls below the re­
quired minimum, serious consideration is given to the stu­
dent’s future status. Such students will receive sympathetic
suggestions from the respective faculty menlbers so that
they may be better able to decide whether they should re­
quest the privilege of continuing their work with Proba­
tionary status. Students desiring to continue on probation
should submit written requests, with substantiating reasons,
to the Dean. Such requests may be considered by the Dean
or the Dean’s Advisory Committee.

SO

T H E TE A C H E R S COLLEGE H ER AL D

Students who receive permission to continue on proba­
tion, will, at the Dean’s discretion, be permitted to register
for no more than 12 semester hours of 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. At the completion of such “re-take courses” the mark
received will be substituted for the previous mark in de­
termining quality points. Students on probation who fail to
show the necessary improvement may be requested to with­
draw from the college.
Student Teaching

Student teaching is a most essential part of teacher
preparation and at Shippensburg covers a full time assign­
ment for one semester. Learning proper professional atti­
tudes, legal requirements, pupil records, extra-class activi­
ties, community contacts as well as classroom techniques are
necessary parts of this experience.
All assignments for student teaching are made with the
approval of the Dean of Instruction and the Director of Stu­
dent Teaching. Before assignments are made, students shall

FACULTY ADVISERS
The students are to consider each of their instructors
as an official adviser. The instructors of this college study
the educational and social background as well as the apti­
tude and interest of their students. On the office door of

62

TH E TE A C H E R S COLLEGE H ER ALD

each instructor is posted the office hours during which time
students are expected to come for help. Many other sched­
uled conferences are held between the instructors and the
students. Problems and difficulties of the students receive
patient and sympathetic attention, thus avoiding many pitfalls which ordinarily befall students without such guidance.
CO M M EN CEM EN T

There is one commencement exercise held each year,
usually the last week in May. A t this annual commence­
ment, students who have completed the required work for
degrees from the summer of the year preceding the time of
commencement exercises, constitute the graduating class for
that year. All students who complete degree requirements
within this one year period are required to participate in all
parts of the exercises including the wearing of the cap and
gown on the day that degrees are conferred.
CER TIFICATION OF T E A C H E R S

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 complet­
ing a four-year curriculum will be granted a provisional Col­
lege Certificate, which is issued by the Department of Pub­
lic Instruction, provided an application has been filled out
by the graduate for such a certificate. This provisional col­
lege certificate which indicates the subjects the holder is
permitted to teach is valid for three years of teaching and
is not to be confused with the diploma issued at graduation.
It is important to remember that this certificate is not
valid for teaching in any other state outside of Pennsyl­
vania.
A College Certificate, valid for the elementary field,
may be extended to include teaching in the secondary field
by having completed 12 semester hours of professional work
applicable to the secondary school; six of which must be in
student teaching. There must be 18 semester hours of credit
in the field for which certification is desired.
A College Certificate valid for teaching in the secondray school may be extended to the elementary field by the
presentation of thirty semester hours of work in profes­
sional education applicable to the elementary grades; at
least six of the credits must be in elementary student teach­
ing.

SH IPPEN SBU RG COLLEGE ISSU E

63

The Provisional College Certificate may be made per­
manent after it has been used for three years of successful
teaching experience in the appropriate field in the Public
Schools of Pennsylvania provided a teacher rating of
“ middle” or better has been secured and at least six semester
hours of additional preparation of collegiate grade has been
completed subsequent to the baccalaureate degree, one-half
of which credit must be professional, and the remainder re­
lated to the subjects or subject field in which the holder is
certificated to teach.
Residents of Pennsylvania who graduate from this col­
lege are required to teach at least two years in the Com­
monwealth.
PLACEMENT
The College maintains a placement office as part of its
public service. Its purpose is to aid students and graduates
in obtaining desirable positions as teachers. It will render
assistance to school officials in locating well qualified teach­
ers who fit the requirements of vacancies in the schools of
the Commonwealth.
Seniors are requested to enroll with the placement of­
fice during the time they are doing their student teaching.
While the placement office does not guarantee a position, it
offers without cost, opportunities which would not otherwise
be available. Alumni and school officials are urged to use
this school service and to cooperate in making the service
more reliable and worthwhile for both the student and the
schools to be served.

TH E C U R R I C U L U M S
The Curriculums offered at this college include ele­
mentary education providing emphasis in early childhood
education, in intermediate education or in rural education;
secondary education for teaching the various academic sub­
jects of the junior and senior high school fields; business
education for teaching business subjects in high school;
and education for Public School Nurses and Dental Hygien­
ists. All Curriculums are four years in length and lead to the
degree of Bachelor of Science in Education and to a Pro­
visional College Certificate to teach in the public schools
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
N E W EM PH ASIS

The new curriculums hold a broad basis of general edu­
cation— the common learnings necessary for living in the
social and the physical environment— the development of
the arts and skills of communication common to cultured
people, the understanding and acceptance o f the higher
moral, aesthetic and spiritual values, and the essential
knowledge and habits necessary to maintain mental and
physical well being.
The professional courses and experiences recognized as
basic or required by law or regulation for all teachers have
been included and, in addition to them, the specific training
designed for competency at various age levels and in vari­
ous fields of teaching has been provided.
SELECTIO N OF CURRICULUM

Curriculum and areas of specialization should be select­
ed with care and with the advice of college authorities.
Many students will undertake graduate study after com­
pleting the undergraduate preparation for teaching. Since
requirements for admission to graduate schools vary widely,
not only with different colleges, but with the fields of study
within a given college, undergraduates are advised to ex­
plore during the junior and senior year the opportunities
and requirements for graduate study in their chosen fields

E L E M E N T A R 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.
Professional Opportunities

For the past twenty years, the demand for the teach­
ers completing the elementary curriculum has surpassed
the supply. Recently, the shortage of elementary teachers
has been most critical and the graduate in this field has
had the privilege of choosing one of many offers.
Teaching experience in the elementary field is very ad­
vantageous for young men and women who desire to be­
come administrators, 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 certifi­
cate extended to include the elementary field by complet­
ing thirty additional hours of appropriate professional
courses. In past years a number of students who completed
the secondary curriculum have taken this added work m the
elementary field and have made rapid progress in the pro­
fession.

SECONDARY CURRICULUM
The curriculum for the preparation of secondary teach­
ers is flexible because of the selection of major and minor
fields of concentration. These fields of concentration be­
come the fields in which the student is certified to teach.
During the past number of years the demand for teachers
of 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 degreee in subject fields. This curriculum is so de­
vised that a student can complete a sufficient number of
courses in an academic field to give the necessary founda­
tion for such advanced degrees.

Special Interpretations by Board o f Presidents:
CHEMISTRY— “ Students who select Chemistry as a First Field with Physics as a
Second Field may count the required hours in Physics I and II towards the Second
Field thereby reducing the First Field to 27 hours. I f any area other than Physics is
the Second Field. Physics I and II will be taken as a part o f the First Field in addi­
tion to the reauired 24 credits in Chemistry and 3 credits in Teaching o f Science
in the Secondary School thereby making the total credits 3B hours.”
PHYSICS— “ Competency in Mathematics to carry the work of Physics is expected
as a prerequisite fo r specialization in Physics as a first field. Courses in College
Algebra and Trigonometry are recommended.”

Opportunities

There is a large and growing demand for qualified de­
gree holding teachers of business education in the high
schools of the Commonwealth. The demand for teachers
of business subjects— shorthand, typewriting, bookkeeping
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, Ah6
main outcome of the curriculum is qualified teachers of
busines subjects, but various concomitant learnings emerge
during this period of preparation.
Practical Experience

Practical experience in various phases of business is a
vital and essential part of the preparation of prospective
business education teachers. This experience, to be of the
most value, should be in the field or fields in which the
student is preparing to teach. Such experience can be ^cquired largely during summer vacations and part time while
attending college.
