AN OPEN LETTER

To College Youth in War Time:
The quest for certainty is as old as mankind. To make certain an uncertain
future is the problem of every generation. Youth is always confused by the
process of growing up and the changing of events in the world a_t large.
Life is made of such things. Change and growth as part of the continuous
adjustment in living leads each generation to feel that its problems are more
serious than those of the previous one.
Liberty, and Freedom, and Democracy are so very precious that a century
and a half ago our forefathers fought to get them in a form of free government. A half-dozen wars in our history indicate that we must ever fight to
keep them. A new generation on the average of every twenty-five years has
had to make the sacrifice of force to protect and keep Liberty, and Freedom,
and Democracy as we have them in America.
What tomorrow may bring to college students no one can surely say, but
it appears that democracy may need to make as great an effort to defend
itself AFTER as DURING the present war period. The first line of defense
now and later lies in the strenght of the whole nation, whereas leadership
will undoubtedly come from the ranks of those who are now enrolled in colleges.
Students who are now enrolled in colleges should make every effort to
continue their educational program as they had previously planned. Otherwise
we shall be faced with a suicide of weakening our minds while strengthening
our "arms." The duty of all good Americans today is to do the best they
can, where they are, with what they have. College students must continue
to fit themselves for situations which will undoubtedly approach those for which
they are being educated.
The three dates-1914 - 1916 - 1918-represent the beginning, the critical
period, and the ending of the first World War. Since 1939 marked the
beginning of the second World War and 1941 the critical period of the entry
of America into the struggle, the question is "What are you planning for the
next four years?"

How Many Teach
Three years ago the State Teachers College at Bloomsburg began an exhaustive
study of all graduates upon whom the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education
had been conferred between the years of 1931 and 1940 inclusive.

.
-;..

Questionnaires were sent out to 1,025 degree graduates. The results show that
of this number seventy-seven per cent were teachers and fifteen per cent were
gainfully employed. Only eight per cent were unemployed, married (never having
taught), deceased, or were called into the armed forces immediately on graduation.
These figures, based on practically all of the graduates of a ten-year period,
revealed a placement from 15 to 20 % higher than a yearly survey made shortly after
the graduation of each class. There was evidence of a ten-year demand for properly
educated teachers in the Elementary, Secondary and Business fields. The importance
of having a reservoir of teachers was realized in this period of international conflict
and must be remembered when peace arrives. During the year 1943, over one
hundred requests for teachers were received, but there were no available graduates
to recommend.

Three Calendar Year Plan ( 16 week t.imester per year)
Students of the State Teachers College at Bloomsburg are now able to complete
the regular four-year curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in
Education in three calendar years. For some students this will be possible by attending three regular years and two twelve-week summer sessions.
The new plan provides for 16 week trimesters beginning July 1, November
1. anrl March 1. Teachers-in-SPrvice will have an oPPnrtunitv to attend summer

sessions for 12 weeks as follows: three weeks Pre Session, six weeks Summer Session,
and three weeks Pnst Sessinn. as in former years. Freshman are accepted at the
beginning of any semester or any summer session,
Students who do not desire to follow this three-year curriculum will be allowed
to continue on the four-year basis in operation since the state teachers colleges were
granted tl::e right to confer the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education in 1926.
The three-year plan will enable students to begin teaching a year earlier and
will reduce the present cost by approximately $200. This saving, when added to the
possibility of earning a salary of $1,200 per year, results in a net gain of $1,400 for
those who seek to enter the teaching profession under the three-year state teachers
college plan.
The new plan which went into effect with the pre-session, June 8, 19+2, allowed
high school graduates to begin their college work, and upper-classmen to earn additional credits. The fact that there were over one hundred regular students enrolled
reflects the fact that at least 20 % of the regular college students are planning to
continue their work on the three-year basis.
The accelerating program has a two-fold purpose. It provides, first of all, an
opportunity for students to complete a college education before being inducted into
service in the armed forces of the United States. At the same time, it will help to
meet the present shortage of teachers.
Under this new program, it should be noted, no reduction yet has been made in
the number of credit hours required for graduation. This means definitely that there
will be no reduction in the standards now prevailing. In other words, the student
will be required to complete as many semester hours of work as before, but by attending college more time during the calendar year, he will be able to complete the
same amount of work in less time.

High School Instruction in Aviation
Aviation is creating a world which, if not understood by the future youth
of America. would be a bewildering place in which to live. It is our belief,
therefore, that the future citizens of this nation should, in their high school
curriculum, receive some work in the field of aeronautics, not that they will all become pilots, although a great many more people will fly in the future than in the past,
but because to live completely in the Air Age, it must be understood. This aeronautics
instruction in high schools will be most helpful to many persons who,
although not directly in aviation, will eventually be employed in related fields. For
instance there will be the construction and maintenance of aircraft, radio with its
many phases of operation, Meteorology, etc. The field is almost limitless in its specific
aspects, and the youth of tomorrow must be prepared to meet the growing demands.

A First Step in the Development of Aeronautics
In the fall of 19+0 the State Teachers College of Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, was
asked along with approximately 600 other institutions of higher learning to participate
in the program sponsored by Civilian Pilot Training under the Civil Aeronautics
Administration. This flight and ground schoo l training for college men was on an
extra curricular basis and was to form a reservoir of pilots in case an emergency
developed in the United States. This emergency became a crisis December 7, 1941,
and fortunately ready to meet this situation was a group of trained pilots, including
, 100 trained at Bloomsburg. The civilian part of this training ended at this point and
the work continued on a full-time military basis as another 100 men were trained at
Bloomsburg for the Army and Navy as Service Pilots and Aviation Cadets.

The group of aviation cadets who have just been presented with their CAA War
Training Service solo wings by Captain Jack Knight, formerly of the American
Airlines and now associated with the CAA-War Training Service.

Fred Waring of national radio fame, esc~rted by Lieutenant John R. Hoyt, director
of CAA-WTS Naval Flight Instructors' Schools. Waring was guest of honor at the
naval inspection and review, following his coast to coast broadcast salute to the office,s
stationed at Bfoomsburg.

Naval Flight Instructors School

Following our participation in the training of Civilian Aviators, (College students)
Army Service Pilots, and Navy Combat Pilots, over a period of three years, the
college was designated as one of the five institutions ( the others - Northwestern
University, University of Georgia, Purdue University, and Texas Christian University)
as a Naval Flight Instructors School in cooperation with the Bloomsburg Airport.
Naval Officers having civilian flying experience are given ground school course~
by the college and flight instruction at the Bloomsburg Airport, for a period of six
months. Thereafter they are sent to Pensacola, Florida; Corpus Christi, Texas; or
New Orleans, Lousiana, to train combat pilots.
The normal complement of officers is 180 and this venture projects the teacher
training activities of the college into the field of Naval Aviation.
Over half of the ground school instructors are regular members of the college
faculty, the others being Technical Assistants in Aviation who have had a wide
experience as civilian pilots.
National attention has been attracted to the Bloomsburg Naval Flight Instructors
School through the Fred Waring Broadcasts over W. E. A. F. and the presence of
Mr. Waring as a guest of honor on March 27, 1943, as shown above.

Pre-Flight Aeronautics for Teachers-in-Service
In the summers of 1942 and 1943 the Civil Aeronautics Administration sponsored
a pre-flight aeronautics course for teachers. A quota of 20 was assigned to Bloomsburg and this institution was the first in the country to offer the course as exclusively
for teachers-in-service. Other schools intermingled the teachers with their Civilian
Pilot Training trainees and gave them both the same course. From this individual
treatment of tne course for teachers-in-service was born the idea that a field or area
concentration in aeronautics for teachers should be developed.

Curriculum for Aviation Teachers
In the middle of April, 1943, Dr. Henry Klonower, Director of the Teacher
Bureau, Department of Public Instruction, announced that the State Teachers College
at Bloomsburg had been approved by the State Department of Public Instruction as
the first institution to offer courses leading to a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education in the field of Aeronautics. In evidence of their continued support the Civil
Aeronautics Administration-War Training Service-of the United States Department
of Commerce again expressed a desire to sponsor a quota at Bloomsburg for the presession in the summer of 1943. This course however is not to be confused with the
one leading to certification in Aeronautics for teachers which is open to undergraduates.
The field of aeronautics for teachers will include such courses as Theory of Flight.
Navigation, Meteorology, Civil Air Regulations, Aircraft Engine Operation, Aircraft
Communication, Climatology, History and Identification of Aircraft, Mathematics
and Physics. Flight experience evidenced by a private pilot's license will be required
ti;> make college certificates permanent. Presenting the courses will be an aeronautics
faculty composed of 12 people. This group holds a combination of ground instructor
ratings totaling 30. These ratings are obtained by passing federal examinations condu r ted by the CiYil Aeronautics Administration of the Department of Commerce
and the examinations consist of 200 questions for each individual rating.

Navy Aviators

NAVY V-12 GROUP

NAVY V-12 PROGRAM BEGAN JULY l, 1943
The V-12 Program is a College program, and according to Rear Admiral Randall
Jacobs, Chief of the Bureau of Naval Personnel, "Its primary purpose is to give prospective naval officers the benefits of college education in those areas most needed by
the Navy. We desire, in so far as possible, to preserve the normal pattern of college
life. We hope that the colleges will give regular academic credit for all or most of
the Navy courses, and we desire that college faculties enforce all necessary , regulations to keep the academic standards high."
This program operates for three semesters of sixteen weeks each year. Trainees
are apprentice seamen on active duty who have been carefully selected from the upper
10% of the high school graduates on the basis of intelligence and physical examinations as well as a series of interviews to determine personality traits.
At the request of the War Manpower Commission acting for the Army and Navy,
colleges reported faculty and facilities available for the training of officers and enlisted personnel. Out of 1650 colleges and universities reporting, Bloomsburg State
Teachers College was one of 500 institutions recommended for inspection and
approval.
After inspection and approval a contract was negotiated with the Navy Department for 175 officer candidates who attend college for two or more years. Eleven institutions were approved in Pennsylvania, of which Bloomsburg was the only teachers
college. In the United States, 500 colleges are engaged in this project known by the
designation "V-12 Program," which supersedes all previous programs, such as V-1,
V-5, and V-7.

Engineering, Management, and Science War Training
The College is furnishing classrooms and laboratories for courses sponsored by
the United States Office of Education and developed in Pennsylvania through Pennsylvania State College.
Since 1940 over 1,000 enrollees have had the use of classrooms, laboratories, and
faculty of the college.
Five faculty members have taught in these classes in Bloomsburg and the surrounding towns and one member of the faculty has served as the administrative head
for the Danville Center for the E.M.S.W.T. Courses. The purpose of these courses
is to train workers for defense plants such as the American Car and Foundry Company (Tanks) Berwick, Pennsylvania, and the Cherokee Ordnance Company (Explosives) Danville, Pennsylvania. These courses include: Aerodynamics, Aircraft
Engines, Engineering Drafting, Industrial Accounting, Mathematics and Fundamentals
of Electrical Engineering, Ordnance Inspection, and Production Engineering.

Contribution of College Faculty, Students, and Employees
Members of the College Community have made contributions to the United Service Organizations, the Regular Red Cross Roll Call and the Red Cross War Relief
Drive. The amounts are given here and speak for themselves
United Service Organizations_ _________________________ $ l25.00
Red Cross Roll Call_ _________________________________ 157.00
Red Cross War Relief Drive ------------------------ 548.00
Tota 1 ---------------- -------------------------- $830.00

Defense Savings Stamps and Bonds
Every faculty member and employee either now owns Defense Stamps or Bonds
or have pledger! themselves to purchase regularly in the future.
Defense Stamps are sold at the College Retail Store and also from a booth placed
in the corridor.
The figures for the college community are as follows:
Bonds pledged for year ----------------------------$13,300.00
Stamps pledged for year -------------------------- 1,596.00
Total ________________________________________ $14,896.00

Waller Hall War Service Activities
The women of Waller Hall have had a very active organization assisting the
war effort in a wide variety of ways. The Paper Conservation Committee collected
newspapers and magazines each week for the Boy Scouts who called for them each
Saturday. The Sewing Committee made 132 hemmed towels for use in the laboratories of the Bloomsburg Hospital, as well as a number of baby bathrobes. About
twenty-five sweaters and many pairs of socks were knitted for the Red Cross. Containers were placed throughout the dormitory in which the girls deposited all empty
tooth-paste and cold cream tubes. Two boxes of these were collected and taken to a
local store where they were sent away for defense purposes. Most of the girls in
the dormitory are buying war saving stamps regularly, and a few have bought
bonds. The Community Government Association maintained a savings Stamp Booth
in Noetling Hall and three girls from the dormitory spent several hours a week
working in the booth. Twenty women from the Dormitory took the first aid course
and many others already h~,! first air! certificates.

Centennial Gymnasium

Physical Education in War Time
Realizing the need for stressing physical education at this time, especially to
prepare college men for military service, a commitee of the College Physical Education Association met and prepared a statement of aims. Our Physical Education ·
Department is trying as fully as possible to carry out this Committee's recommendations:

1

1.

That the physical education program be placed on a five days a week basis
for four years for all men (Three times weekly is an absolute minimum.)

2.

That the programs of intramural activities, intercollegiate athletics and physical education be broadened and intensified.

3.

That a complete service of medical examination be extended to all male
students; that the follow-up work including the correction of remediable
defects be made a part of the program.

4.

That timely and vital courses such as first aid, and lifesaving, personal
hygiene, including military and social hygiene, be given.

It seems especially appropriate in the light of this new emphasis on physical
training that Bloomsburg should have dedicated its new Gymnasium on May 23,
1942, naming it the Centennial Gymnasium to commemorate one hundred years of
higher education here from 1839 to 1939. The College was honored on this occasion
by addresses from Arthur H. James, Governor of the Commonwealth and Dr. Francis
R Haas, State Superintendent of Public Instruction.
This Centennial gymnasium with its swimming pool, three gymnasium floors,
five offices, classrooms and dressing rooms offers increased facilities for Navy flyers
and officer candidates who may be sent to us during the coming year.

College War Council
The College Community has been organized as a unit of the Columbia County
Council of Defense, and the following committees are actively engaged in the duties
which their names suggest-Air Raid Warning, Fire Protection, American Unity,
Conservation of Defense Materials, Men-in-Service.
Under the direction of the Air Raid Warning Committee the College Campus
has been organized as a defense zone for the duration of the war. The zone has been
divided into five sectors each with a fully equipped section warden's post. Two of
these sectors, the Women's Dormitory and the Men's Dormitory, are manned 24 hours
of the day. All other sectors are manned during the hours such sectors are being
used by the students or the general public.
The Committee on Unity and Morale has been active both on and off the campus.
Various members of the faculty have spoken in the college chapel and at various
places in our service area on phases of our national defense and the war situation.
The Public Affairs Forum, a student-faculty organization, meets every Monday
night to discuss affairs of current interest. Realizing the part group singing plays in
building public morale, there has been much patriotic singing in both the College
and the training school. One of the outstanding features in this connection was a
program of music of the Americas given by the children of the Benjamin Franklin
School in the College Auditorium.
The Men-in-Service Committee sends out the Maroon and Gold ( college news_paper) and mimeographed booklets containing greetings from members of the administrative staff, faculty and students, letters written by many of our students in
various branches of the service, and a complete mailing list of all Bloomsburg students now in the service with the Armed Forces.

Alumni in the Armed Forces
An active Alumni Association, whose membership is drawn from over 9,000
graduates of the Bloomsburg Normal School and the Bloomsburg State Teachers
College, includes over 1,200 degree graduates (men and women) who are within
the range of military age classes.
With some effort, the addresses of more than 400 men and women now in the
armed services have been used to send them weekly news releases and copies of
the college newspaper (The Maroon and Gold). These copies are sent to Africa,
Australia, Iceland, Greenland, India, South Sea Islands, and Great Britain.
Probably the highest ranking officer among our Alumni is Major General Idwal
Edwards, now Chief of Staff in The European Theatre of Operation, London,
England.
A member of the faculty of the Department of Business Education, now on
leave, is Lt. Commander Herbert E. McMahan, U.S.N.R., Supply Corps, Philadelphia
Navy Yard.
Among others are: Major James L. Hinckley, Infantry, Class of 1933; Major
John Q. Timbrell, Infantry, Class of 1933; Capt. Neil Richie, Air Force, Class of
1935; Lt. Walter Reed, Air Force, Class of 1940; Captains Harry and Don Jenkins
(brothers) Air Force, Classes of 1939 and 1942; Major James Harman, Air Force,
Class of 1942, (now reported missing) ; Lt. Norbert Kirk,* Air Force, Class of
1940, cited five times for gallantry; Lt. Anthony Yenalavage,* Air Force, Class of
1943; and Lt. Wayne L. Hartman.** Air Force, Class of 1939.
At least two of this group have received Distinguished Flying Crosses * and one
the Order of the Purple Heart. **
Any list of Distinguished Alumni in the armed services would of necessity be
incomplete. Mention is made of only a few to give some idea of the prominence
attained by our alumni who are making sacrifices on all fronts in all parts of the
world.
It should also be noted that over one-half of the faculty are engaged in teaching
Aviators (Flight Instructors) and Officer Candidates (V·12 Program) for the Navy
Department. The effects of this contribution can be easily traced in the resistance ·
phase of the war effort.
The "Spirit that is Bloomsburg" has never been thrown in more bold relief
since the time the Literary Institute was conceived during the Civil War Period.
With each of the three following conflicts the Normal School and Teachers College
has made and is making a noteworthy contribution to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In so doing our institution has justified its continued existence as one of
the finest examples of the contribution which a small college can make to our
United States of America, both in preserving this generation and educating the next.
The varied character of the contributions of the college can be gained by a
careful scrutiny of some enrollment figures for the year 1942-1943

ENLIST IN THE FORCES OF EDUCATION
Many college students will undoubtedly find a place in the Armed Forces.
However, America is fighting to preserve the American way of life; to sustain the
essential dignity of the individual; to guarantee to all men everywhere the four
freedoms, freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom
from fear. If America is to achieve her purpose she must continue to have an
educated citizenship, and she must be prepared to improve and enlarge her program
of education that no boy or girl in the whole land will fail to understand his birthright as an American citizen nor be without the equipment of knowledges and skills
necessary to play a worthy part in the world of tomorrow.
To educate youth we must have teachers. In Pennsylvania alone it is expected
that there will be a shortage of 4,000 teachers in the public schools. The teaching
profession is everywhere recognized as essential to the preservation ond development
of our heritage of freedom and our destiny as a nation. If you have the quality of
mind and heart for such leadership, you should enlist in the educational branch of
the national service as a teacher. To see and know that you have assisted in
equipping youth with the knowledges and skills necessary for useful citizenship;
that you have inspired youth with the ideals which are the peculiar genius of
America; that you have kept the Stars and Stripes flying over the American school
house and have provided a vision of world brotherhood and an understanding of
the ways and means by which it must be attained; these are the satisfactions of a
teacher.
