GENERAL INFORMATION
PURPOSE
The primary purpose of the State College at Slippery Rock
is to prepare teachers for service in the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania. At present, teachers are prepared to teach in the
ELEMENTARY schools, the academic subjects in the SEC
ONDARY schools, and HEALTH and PHYSICAL EDUCA
TION in the elementary, junior high, and senior high schools.
As a part of the preparation of a teacher, the College pro
vides a comprehensive program for the essentials of a broad cul
tural, general, and liberal education as a basis for understanding
our environment and society. It also provides a foundation for
a thorough professional and specialized education which recog
nizes the value of personal, emotional, spiritual, intellectual,
academic, physical, and social maturity as basic to professional
teaching competence.
Also of importance is the fostering of student government
and responsible student participation in as many areas of college
operation as practicality permits. Such student participation has
been both valuable and gratifying to all concerned.
Another aim of the College is to help provide for the needs
of the teachers of the area: library facilities are made available;
evening classes are organized; twelve weeks of summer school
provide an opportunity for professional study; workshops in
health, science, and education are held; professional education
groups are encouraged to visit and hold meetings on the campus;
faculty members offer their services and leadership in promoting
educational opportunities in the surrounding area.
LOCATION OF THE COLLEGE
The borough of Slippery Rock, where the College is located,
is in Butler County, Pennsylvania, on the western edge of the
Allegheny Plateau, at a height of about thirteen hundred feet
above sea level. It is fifty miles north of Pittsburgh on Route 78,
slightly west of Route 8, a super-highway from Pittsburgh. It is
seventeen miles from Butler, twenty-eight miles from Franklin,
seventeen miles from New Castle. Improved highways and ade
quate bus service make Slippery Rock easily accessible to stu
dents from all points in the service area.
HISTORY
In 1887 the people of Slippery Rock and the surrounding
district began to plan for the establishment of an academy in
order that their young people might have the opportunity for
education near their homes. It was discovered that the eleventh
district of the teacher training school system of the Common
wealth was entitled to a normal school. Immediately the leaders
widened their plans, sold stock, secured land, and in 1888 erected
three frame buildings: two dormitories, and a recitation building
and chapel.
The application for the approval of the buildings and the
establishment of a State Normal School was acted upon favorably
by the State Department of Public Instruction on the first day of
February, 1889. In the following month the first term of the
new training school for teachers opened with an enrollment of
168 students. The first class of eleven members was graduated
in 1890.
On June 4, 1926, the State Council of Education authorized
the institution to grant the degrees of Bachelor of Science in
Education and Bachelor of Science in Health Education. On
August 13,1927, the State Council changed the name of the State
Normal School to the State Teachers College at Slippery Rock.
On January 8, 1960, the name was again officially changed
to Slippery Rock State College.

42
Slippery Rock State College
A representative group of members from the junior class
accepts the responsibility of guiding the new students during the
orientation period. This orientation usually lasts four or five
weeks and includes guidance sessions, meetings with administra
tive and faculty members, mass meetings, social get-togethers,
and many other activities.
Other facets of the social activities include social dancing,
formal dinners, teas, cocoa pours, Hut dances, and similar func
tions.
In addition, each class and most student organizations have
social events ranging from informal gatherings and picnics to
formal dances and dinners.
In the fall a formal reception is given by the faculty for all
the students so that the two groups may become acquainted at
the beginning of the college year. Various other events are
planned for such holidays as Christmas, St. Valentines Day,
Halloween, and several special events including Homecoming
and May Day.

The student health program is under the direction of a local
physician, a full-time resident registered nurse, and two reg
istered nurses as assistants. An infirmary for men and women
students is located in the east wing of North Hall and provides
excellent facilities for student care.
Accident insurance is a part of the student health program.

SCHOLARSHIP REQUIREMENTS
Report of a student's scholarship is sent to the parents and
guardians at the close of each semester in the case of upperclassmen, at the close of each nine-week period for freshmen.
The following system of marking has been adopted by the
faculty:
A—Excellent
B—Good
C—Satisfactory
D—Credit
I—Incomplete
F—Failure
The grade symbols are translated into quality points as fol
lows: each semester hour of credit with a grade of A counts
three quality points; B, two points; C, one point. D and F
grades have no quality point value. A student's quality point
rating will be determined by dividing the total number of quality
points earned by the total number of credit hours carried.
No student whose cumulative quality point rating is less
than 1.00 can be considered in good academic standing.
1. Any student who at the end of his first semester receives
as many as two-thirds of the number of hours on his program
with grades F and D shall be automatically suspended from
privileges of the college, unless it is evident to the dean and the
personnel committee that the student can profit acceptably from
another semester's work. Such student may be permitted to re-
46
SLIPPERY ROCK STATE COLLEGE
turn not earlier than a year from his first registration and may be
required to repeat the courses in which a grade below C was
earned.
A student who at the end of any other semester receives as
many as one-half of the number of hours on his program with
grades of F or D may be suspended from the privileges of the
college for at least one full semester. If readmitted, such stu
dent may be required to repeat all required subjects in which,
during the preceding semester, he received either an F or a
D grade.
2. Before a student is eligible to do student teaching, he
must have as many quality points as semester hours of credit.
He must also have as many quality points as semester hours of
credit in his fields of certification.
3. Only those students shall be recommended for grad
uation whose total quality points equal in number the credit
hours required for graduation.
4. The number of credit hours a student may carry will
be determined by his quality point rating as follows:
(1) When the cumulative quality point rating of any stu
dent is less than 2.00, he should take the normal se
mester load.
( 2 ) A n y s t u d e n t w i t h a c u m u l a t i v e q u a l i t y p o i n t r a t i n g of
2.00 or more may, with the approval of the Head of
the Department of his major field and the Dean of In
struction, take additional hours up to a maximum of
20 hours.
( 3 ) Anyone wishing to take more than a regular semester
load will be required to make application for those
additional hours (the dates for these applications to be
decided by the administration).
( 4 ) U n d e r c e r t a i n c o n d i t i o n s i t i s p o s s i b l e f o r s t u d e n t s to
take examinations for credit in a subject field. Registering for the course is mandatory. Further informa
tion may be obtained from the Dean of Instruction.
SLIPPERY ROCK STATE COLLEGE

JUNIOR STANDING
The faculty of the College has approved a set of standards
or requirements for admission to junior standing. The program
is subject to change.
The purposes are as follows:
1. To promote an effective program of guidance through which
students, aided and encouraged by the faculty, will engage in
self-analysis and self-development with emphasis not only on
scholastic achievement and breadth of general education, but
also on other areas of development such as power of expres
sion, voice, physical fitness, emotional balance, poise, social
graces, ability to work with groups, and aptitudes for special
ization in the curriculum originally selected.
2. To focus attention of beginning students on certain important
areas of self-development, and to guide them through a pro
gram of experiences that will contribute to that development.
3. To provide for the faculty of the College an organized pro
gram contributing to a more rounded development of able stu
dents, and to earlier and more effective screening of those
who do not show acceptable interest in or aptitude for the
teaching profession.
REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO, AND
REQUIREMENTS FOR JUNIOR STANDING
I. Who must apply for Junior Standing?
(a) Students who have completed three semesters of college
work must make application within 3 weeks after reg

(c) Enter by transfer from another institution
(d) Are on an accelerated program.
( 2 ) A p p l i c a n t s w h o f a i l t o m e e t r e q u i r e m e n t s m a y be al
lowed one additional semester and/or a summer session
of twelve weeks to meet them.
(3) Final approval of all applicants rests with the College
Personnel Committee.
Dean's List
Each semester a scholarship list, known as the Dean's List,
is made public. To be eligible for inclusion on this list a stu
dent must attain a quality point average of 2.25 of better for the
current semester. The student must also be carrying at least 14
semester hours of classes. Summer School grades are not used
in calculating quality point average for the Dean's List.
STUDENT TEACHING
( § ) T h e a p p l i c a n t m u s t h a v e t h e a p p r o v a l o f t h e heads of
the departments in which he expects to major and
minor. The applicant must demonstrate a competence
in the major and minor fields by maintaining an average of "C' or better in courses completed in these
fields. Applicants may be required to take an additional
three-hour course in a subject field to demonstrate
competence.
Each senior spends one semester as a full-time student
teacher in the Campus Laboratory School or in one of the co
operating schools. This period is the capstone of the students
preparation for teaching—the time when he begins to assume
teaching responsibilities. It provides the opportunity for him
to develop his capacity to direct teaching-learning situations in
a modern public school setting under the sympathetic guidance
of master teachers.
( h ) T h e h e a l t h a n d p h y s i c a l e d u c a t i o n requirements of the
first two years must be met. The applicant must have
a record showing good physical stamina, good posture,
and freedom from physical defects that may interfere
with adequate performance of his duties as a teacher.
Approximately two-fifths of the student teaching period is
devoted to observation and participation in the teaching proce
dures of the supervisor. From the beginning every effort is made
to have the student realize that he is a vital member of the class
room group.
III. Special Considerations:
( 1 ) S p e c i a l c o n s i d e r a t i o n s m a y b e g i v e n t o a p p l i c a n t s who:
(a) Change their major or minor fields
(b) Change from one curriculum to another
As soon as the student's confidence and insight warrant, he
is assigned duties such as marking papers, preparing short tests,
assisting during library or supervised study periods, telling a
story, making a class assignment, and so on, until he is ready to
assume full responsibility for teaching the class. There are fre-
50
SLIPPERY ROCK STATE COLLEGE
quent conferences in which the supervisor and student teacher
discuss purposes, plans, and problems involved in teaching an
assigned group of pupils. In these initial steps the student
teacher becomes familiar with the routine of classroom manage
ment, the preparation of teaching materials, and the measure
ment and charting of pupil growth.
Students in the elementary field spend the entire day in one
grade and really live with one group of children for half of their
teaching period. During the second nine weeks' period, a similar
experience is provided on another grade level.
Student teachers in secondary education and in health and
physical education are assigned to a school or schools for one
full semester. The assignments are determined by the fields in
which the student is seeking certification and are made on sev
eral grade levels. Instructional materials are organized on the
basis of units which vary in length from one to four weeks. The
student has ample opportunity to observe and confer with the
supervising teacher in each subject matter field before he is
required to develop and teach a unit under guidance.
Student teachers are expected to devote full time to their
teaching assignments. No student teacher will be permitted to
carry credit courses in the college in the semester assigned to
student teaching.
STUDENT TEACHING—FINAL GRADES
No letter grades will be given for student teaching. Upon
completion of that course, students will be marked Passed or
Failed. They will be Recommended or Not Recommended for
teaching certification. They will be rated by supervising teachers
on a number of specific skills, traits, or areas of performance.
The profile created by such ratings will remain in the office of
the Director of Student Teaching and Placement.
A student s quality point rating will not be affected by stuent teaching because no letter grades will be given at the end
or the semester.
51
REQUIREMENTS FOR
GRADUATION AND CERTIFICATION
1. All curricula are definitely four years in length and all
lead to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education or Bach
elor of Science in Health Education, and entitle the graduate to
the Provisional College Certificate in the appropriate curriculum.
2. The completion of the four-year curriculum for the
preparation of elementary teachers entitles the student to the
degree of Bachelor of Science in Education and a Provisional
College Certificate, which after three years of successful teaching
and the earning of twelve additional semester hours of prescribed
credit becomes a Permanent College Certificate.
3. Upon the completion of the four-year curriculum for
the preparation of secondary teachers the student is entitled to
the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education, and a Provisional
College Certificate, which authorizes the holder to teach all sub
jects in a junior or senior high school in which he is properly
certificated. After three years of successful teaching and the earn
ing of twelve additional semester hours of prescribed credit, a
Permanent College Certificate in the foregoing fields is awarded.
4. Upon completion of the four-year curriculum in Health
and Physical Education, the student is entitled to the degree of
Bachelor of Science in Health Education and a Provisional Col
lege Certificate, which authorizes the holder to teach and super
vise health and physical education in kindergarten through sen
ior high school in any public school of the Commonwealth.
5. Students who hold a college provisional certificate in the
secondary field and desire to have health and physical educa
tion written on their certificates must complete a minimum of
30 semester hours. These semester hours should be distributed
as follows: one third in Hygiene; one third in Physical Activities;
one third in Theory courses. Effective October 1, 1963, this ex
tension will require 36 semester hours of credit.
6. Graduates of teacher preparation institutions who pre
pared specifically to teach the subjects of the secondary field
and then decide to teach in the elementary grades may secure
the proper certification for this work upon the completion of
52
thirty semester hours of approved courses in the field of ele
mentary student teaching (this provision valid until October
1, 1963).
7. Persons who hold a college certificate to teach in the
elementary field may have it extended for teaching on the sec
ondary level by completing twelve semester hours of secondary
education including six semester hours of student teaching on
the secondary level, and by completing the required number of
semester hours needed for certification in any selected subject
area.
PLACEMENT SERVICE
An alert and effective placement service is sponsored by the
college and administered by the Director of Student Teaching
and Placement. Through his office, with the co-operation of the
deans and heads of departments, complete and accurate informa
tion is made available to superintendents, supervising principals,
and boards of education, relative to the scholarship, ratings for
student teaching, personality traits, and character of all seniors
and alumni.
THE GURRICULUMS
The Slippery Rock State College offers three major curriculums—the elementary, the secondary academic, and the
health and physical education. These curriculums are four years
in length and lead to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Edu
cation or Bachelor of Science in Health Education. All require
t e satisfactory completion of a minimum of 128 semester hours
as outlined.
The cuniculums as given on the following pages were ap
proved by the Board of Presidents of the Pennsylvania State
Colleges and the Superintendent of Public Instruction and will
become effective for freshmen entering in September, 1960.
SLIPPERY ROCK STATE COLLEGE
53
NEW GURRIGULUMS
The new curricula for the areas of specialization at Slippery Rock State
College appear on the following pages. Each field includes at least 60
semester hours of General Education distributed among the areas of the
humanities, the social sciences, the nature sciences, and miscellaneous fields.
Not less than 24 semester hours are assigned to Professional Education in
each field, and the remainder of the 128 semester hours is allocated to
specialized fields and electives.
On subsequent pages you will also find a summary of State certifica
tion requirements followed by an eight-semester sequence of courses for
each field of certification. However, it should be clearly understood that
changes may be made by State action or in some cases by College action
for administrative purposes.
After October 1, 1963, no longer will there be any 18 semester-hour
fields of certification. This means that many secondary education seniors
will be graduated with only one broad major and a partial sequence com
pleted toward a second field of certification. The same will be true for
those majoring in health and physical education. Please refer to the State
certification requirements sheet which explains regulations for graduates
not fully certified in a second field in which he may be employed as a
teacher pending full certification in that area.
It is our hope that the accompanying information will serve as a
guide in our advisory program. Particular attention should be paid to pre
requisite courses where such are required and also to the projection of
course electives so that students will fulfill requirements in all areas.

(Slippery Rock State College and
Mayo Clinic School of Physical Therapy, Rochester, Minnesota)
The State College at Slippery Rock has arranged with the
Mayo Clinic School of Physical Therapy, Rochester, Minnesota,
a co-operative program which will enable a student to obtain
the degree of Bachelor of Science in Health Education from
Slippery Rock State College and a certificate in Physical Therapy
from the Mayo Clinic School of Physical Therapy.
The first three academic years of the student's training will
be taken at Slippery Rock and the next twenty-four (24) months
must be spent at Mayo Clinic. Upon completion of the training
at Mayo Clinic, the student must return to Slippery Rock State
College for a final semester to complete the requirements for the
degree of Bachelor of Science in Health Education.
A student who registers for this program at Slippery Rock
State College does not automatically qualify for admission to
Mayo Clinic. Mayo Clinic will have the right to determine the
eligibility of any applicant after the student has successfully
completed the three-year (six-semester) academic training at
Slippery Rock State College.
The cost of the Slippery Rock phase of this program will
be the same as for any full-time student in the Health and
Physical Education curriculum.
Mayo Clinic Phase of the Program
While in the School of Physical Therapy the student will
receive a maintenance stipend from the Mayo Clinic. In addi
tion, he or she will be eligible for a two-weeks' vacation each
year. (During the first year there will also be a two-weeks
Christmas vacation, but without stipend.) There are no tuition
charges.
Living accommodations must be arranged for by the stu
dent. The cost of living is approximately $100 to $125 per month,
depending on individual arrangements. The cost of books is
approximately $70. White uniforms must be worn after the first
three months. These items are to be furnished by the student.

GENERAL INFORMATION
PURPOSE
The primary purpose of the State College at Slippery Rock
is to prepare teachers for service in the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania. At present, teachers are prepared to teach in the
ELEMENTARY schools, the academic subjects in the SEC
ONDARY schools, and HEALTH and PHYSICAL EDUCA
TION in the elementary, junior high, and senior high schools.
As a part of the preparation of a teacher, the College pro
vides a comprehensive program for the essentials of a broad cul
tural, general, and liberal education as a basis for understanding
our environment and society. It also provides a foundation for
a thorough professional and specialized education which recog
nizes the value of personal, emotional, spiritual, intellectual,
academic, physical, and social maturity as basic to professional
teaching competence.
Also of importance is the fostering of student government
and responsible student participation in as many areas of college
operation as practicality permits. Such student participation has
been both valuable and gratifying to all concerned.
Another aim of the College is to help provide for the needs
of the teachers of the area: library facilities are made available;
evening classes are organized; twelve weeks of summer school
provide an opportunity for professional study; workshops in
health, science, and education are held; professional education
groups are encouraged to visit and hold meetings on the campus;
faculty members offer their services and leadership in promoting
educational opportunities in the surrounding area.
LOCATION OF THE COLLEGE
The borough of Slippery Rock, where the College is located,
is in Butler County, Pennsylvania, on the western edge of the
Allegheny Plateau, at a height of about thirteen hundred feet
above sea level. It is fifty miles north of Pittsburgh on Route 78,
slightly west of Route 8, a super-highway from Pittsburgh. It is
seventeen miles from Butler, twenty-eight miles from Franklin,
seventeen miles from New Castle. Improved highways and ade
quate bus service make Slippery Rock easily accessible to stu
dents from all points in the service area.
HISTORY
In 1887 the people of Slippery Rock and the surrounding
district began to plan for the establishment of an academy in
order that their young people might have the opportunity for
education near their homes. It was discovered that the eleventh
district of the teacher training school system of the Common
wealth was entitled to a normal school. Immediately the leaders
widened their plans, sold stock, secured land, and in 1888 erected
three frame buildings: two dormitories, and a recitation building
and chapel.
The application for the approval of the buildings and the
establishment of a State Normal School was acted upon favorably
by the State Department of Public Instruction on the first day of
February, 1889. In the following month the first term of the
new training school for teachers opened with an enrollment of
168 students. The first class of eleven members was graduated
in 1890.
On June 4, 1926, the State Council of Education authorized
the institution to grant the degrees of Bachelor of Science in
Education and Bachelor of Science in Health Education. On
August 13,1927, the State Council changed the name of the State
Normal School to the State Teachers College at Slippery Rock.
On January 8, 1960, the name was again officially changed
to Slippery Rock State College.

dent is less than 2.00, he should take the normal se
mester load.
( 2 ) A n y s t u d e n t w i t h a c u m u l a t i v e q u a l i t y p o i n t r a t i n g of

Dean's List
Each semester a scholarship list, known as the Dean's List,
is made public. To be eligible for inclusion on this list a stu
dent must attain a quality point average of 2.25 of better for the
current semester. The student must also be carrying at least 14
semester hours of classes. Summer School grades are not used
in calculating quality point average for the Dean's List.
STUDENT TEACHING
( § ) T h e a p p l i c a n t m u s t h a v e t h e a p p r o v a l o f t h e heads of
the departments in which he expects to major and
minor. The applicant must demonstrate a competence
in the major and minor fields by maintaining an average of "C' or better in courses completed in these
fields. Applicants may be required to take an additional
three-hour course in a subject field to demonstrate
competence.
Each senior spends one semester as a full-time student
teacher in the Campus Laboratory School or in one of the co
operating schools. This period is the capstone of the students
preparation for teaching—the time when he begins to assume
teaching responsibilities. It provides the opportunity for him
to develop his capacity to direct teaching-learning situations in
a modern public school setting under the sympathetic guidance
of master teachers.
( h ) T h e h e a l t h a n d p h y s i c a l e d u c a t i o n requirements of the
first two years must be met. The applicant must have
a record showing good physical stamina, good posture,
and freedom from physical defects that may interfere
with adequate performance of his duties as a teacher.
Approximately two-fifths of the student teaching period is
devoted to observation and participation in the teaching proce
dures of the supervisor. From the beginning every effort is made
to have the student realize that he is a vital member of the class
room group.
III. Special Considerations:
( 1 ) S p e c i a l c o n s i d e r a t i o n s m a y b e g i v e n t o a p p l i c a n t s who:
(a) Change their major or minor fields
(b) Change from one curriculum to another
As soon as the student's confidence and insight warrant, he
is assigned duties such as marking papers, preparing short tests,
assisting during library or supervised study periods, telling a
story, making a class assignment, and so on, until he is ready to
assume full responsibility for teaching the class. There are fre-
50
SLIPPERY ROCK STATE COLLEGE
quent conferences in which the supervisor and student teacher
discuss purposes, plans, and problems involved in teaching an
assigned group of pupils. In these initial steps the student
teacher becomes familiar with the routine of classroom manage
ment, the preparation of teaching materials, and the measure
ment and charting of pupil growth.
Students in the elementary field spend the entire day in one
grade and really live with one group of children for half of their
teaching period. During the second nine weeks' period, a similar
experience is provided on another grade level.
Student teachers in secondary education and in health and
physical education are assigned to a school or schools for one
full semester. The assignments are determined by the fields in
which the student is seeking certification and are made on sev
eral grade levels. Instructional materials are organized on the
basis of units which vary in length from one to four weeks. The
student has ample opportunity to observe and confer with the
supervising teacher in each subject matter field before he is
required to develop and teach a unit under guidance.
Student teachers are expected to devote full time to their
teaching assignments. No student teacher will be permitted to
carry credit courses in the college in the semester assigned to
student teaching.
STUDENT TEACHING—FINAL GRADES
No letter grades will be given for student teaching. Upon
completion of that course, students will be marked Passed or
Failed. They will be Recommended or Not Recommended for
teaching certification. They will be rated by supervising teachers
on a number of specific skills, traits, or areas of performance.
The profile created by such ratings will remain in the office of
the Director of Student Teaching and Placement.
A student s quality point rating will not be affected by stuent teaching because no letter grades will be given at the end
or the semester.
51
REQUIREMENTS FOR
GRADUATION AND CERTIFICATION
1. All curricula are definitely four years in length and all
lead to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education or Bach
elor of Science in Health Education, and entitle the graduate to
the Provisional College Certificate in the appropriate curriculum.
2. The completion of the four-year curriculum for the
preparation of elementary teachers entitles the student to the
degree of Bachelor of Science in Education and a Provisional
College Certificate, which after three years of successful teaching
and the earning of twelve additional semester hours of prescribed
credit becomes a Permanent College Certificate.
3. Upon the completion of the four-year curriculum for
the preparation of secondary teachers the student is entitled to
the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education, and a Provisional
College Certificate, which authorizes the holder to teach all sub
jects in a junior or senior high school in which he is properly
certificated. After three years of successful teaching and the earn
ing of twelve additional semester hours of prescribed credit, a
Permanent College Certificate in the foregoing fields is awarded.
4. Upon completion of the four-year curriculum in Health
and Physical Education, the student is entitled to the degree of
Bachelor of Science in Health Education and a Provisional Col
lege Certificate, which authorizes the holder to teach and super
vise health and physical education in kindergarten through sen
ior high school in any public school of the Commonwealth.
5. Students who hold a college provisional certificate in the
secondary field and desire to have health and physical educa
tion written on their certificates must complete a minimum of
30 semester hours. These semester hours should be distributed
as follows: one third in Hygiene; one third in Physical Activities;
one third in Theory courses. Effective October 1, 1963, this ex
tension will require 36 semester hours of credit.
6. Graduates of teacher preparation institutions who pre
pared specifically to teach the subjects of the secondary field
and then decide to teach in the elementary grades may secure
the proper certification for this work upon the completion of
52
thirty semester hours of approved courses in the field of ele
mentary student teaching (this provision valid until October
1, 1963).
7. Persons who hold a college certificate to teach in the
elementary field may have it extended for teaching on the sec
ondary level by completing twelve semester hours of secondary
education including six semester hours of student teaching on
the secondary level, and by completing the required number of
semester hours needed for certification in any selected subject
area.
PLACEMENT SERVICE
An alert and effective placement service is sponsored by the
college and administered by the Director of Student Teaching
and Placement. Through his office, with the co-operation of the
deans and heads of departments, complete and accurate informa
tion is made available to superintendents, supervising principals,
and boards of education, relative to the scholarship, ratings for
student teaching, personality traits, and character of all seniors
and alumni.
THE GURRICULUMS
The Slippery Rock State College offers three major curriculums—the elementary, the secondary academic, and the
health and physical education. These curriculums are four years
in length and lead to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Edu
cation or Bachelor of Science in Health Education. All require
t e satisfactory completion of a minimum of 128 semester hours
as outlined.
The cuniculums as given on the following pages were ap
proved by the Board of Presidents of the Pennsylvania State
Colleges and the Superintendent of Public Instruction and will
become effective for freshmen entering in September, 1960.
SLIPPERY ROCK STATE COLLEGE
53
NEW GURRIGULUMS
The new curricula for the areas of specialization at Slippery Rock State
College appear on the following pages. Each field includes at least 60
semester hours of General Education distributed among the areas of the
humanities, the social sciences, the nature sciences, and miscellaneous fields.
Not less than 24 semester hours are assigned to Professional Education in
each field, and the remainder of the 128 semester hours is allocated to
specialized fields and electives.
On subsequent pages you will also find a summary of State certifica
tion requirements followed by an eight-semester sequence of courses for
each field of certification. However, it should be clearly understood that
changes may be made by State action or in some cases by College action
for administrative purposes.
After October 1, 1963, no longer will there be any 18 semester-hour
fields of certification. This means that many secondary education seniors
will be graduated with only one broad major and a partial sequence com
pleted toward a second field of certification. The same will be true for
those majoring in health and physical education. Please refer to the State
certification requirements sheet which explains regulations for graduates
not fully certified in a second field in which he may be employed as a
teacher pending full certification in that area.
It is our hope that the accompanying information will serve as a
guide in our advisory program. Particular attention should be paid to pre
requisite courses where such are required and also to the projection of
course electives so that students will fulfill requirements in all areas.

(Slippery Rock State College and
Mayo Clinic School of Physical Therapy, Rochester, Minnesota)
The State College at Slippery Rock has arranged with the
Mayo Clinic School of Physical Therapy, Rochester, Minnesota,
a co-operative program which will enable a student to obtain
the degree of Bachelor of Science in Health Education from

The first three academic years of the student's training will
be taken at Slippery Rock and the next twenty-four (24) months
must be spent at Mayo Clinic. Upon completion of the training
at Mayo Clinic, the student must return to Slippery Rock State
College for a final semester to complete the requirements for the
degree of Bachelor of Science in Health Education.
A student who registers for this program at Slippery Rock
State College does not automatically qualify for admission to
Mayo Clinic. Mayo Clinic will have the right to determine the
eligibility of any applicant after the student has successfully
completed the three-year (six-semester) academic training at
Slippery Rock State College.
The cost of the Slippery Rock phase of this program will
be the same as for any full-time student in the Health and
Physical Education curriculum.
Mayo Clinic Phase of the Program
While in the School of Physical Therapy the student will
receive a maintenance stipend from the Mayo Clinic. In addi
tion, he or she will be eligible for a two-weeks' vacation each
year. (During the first year there will also be a two-weeks
Christmas vacation, but without stipend.) There are no tuition
charges.
Living accommodations must be arranged for by the stu
dent. The cost of living is approximately $100 to $125 per month,
depending on individual arrangements. The cost of books is
approximately $70. White uniforms must be worn after the first
