TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN

SUMMER SESSIONS — 1948

Summer sessions, long an important part of Indiana's program, are designed to meet the post-war demands of Vet- erans as well as those of traditional importance. The courses offered are those given in the regular year. Time, credit, and standards are the same. In addition, certain courses not regularly scheduled in winter are offered so that student needs may be satisfied.

There will be two sessions of six weeks each, the first b^eginning on June 7. The second session of the summer starts July 19 and closes August 27. Either or both sessions may be attended, making it possible to earn six or twelve credits. A very few courses are offered for the first three weeks of each session. All students will find desirable courses in the fields of elementary and secondary education as well as in the special fields of art, business education, home economics, and music education. The particular groups whose interests have been kept in mind in preparing the summer program are these :

VETERANS OF WORLD WAR II will find courses of- fered in every curriculum and every year, thus enabling them to accelerate the day of graduation.

TEACHERS IN SERVICE who wish to renew their State Standard Limited Certificates or other limited certificates will find courses enabling them to keep certificates valid. See the last page of the bulletin for regulations regarding renewal.

TEACHERS RETURNING TO SERVICE will find re- fresher courses available so that they may feel confident in their ability to give children the instruction they deserve.

EXTENSION OF CERTIFICATION to other fields by former graduates will be possible through the wide variety of courses offered. This will enable graduates to prepare for teaching in fields where there is an acute shortage of certified personnel.

PERMANENT CERTIFICATION may be accomplished through the acquisition of six semester hours necessary to make permxanent the Provisional College Certificate.

RELAXATION AND RECREATIONAL PROGRAM

Summer sessions at Indiana have always been noted for the variety of activities on the recreation program. The 1948 session should be no exception; in fact the program should be bigger and better than ever. All students should have time to relax and time to play as well as time to study.

The program will include activities on the campus, s,t the College Lodge, and in the surrounding area.

On campus will be found facilities for tennis, bowling, archery, softball, croquet, badminton for the outdoors, while indoors are the recreation rooms for women and men, equip- ped with facilities for group and individual relaxation. In addition, Recreation Hall, the college gymnasium, and the Activities Cottage are available.

For those "old-time" steak frys, group picnics, campfirefc% hikes, and similar activities, the College Lodge plays a very important role in the program. It is owned by the students and faculty and contains over 100 acres of wooded hillside, a rustic lodge, and three shelter houses.

The area surrounding Indiana is rich in historic, scenic, and recreation spots. Buses will be chartered for visits to many of these places.

The program is developed by a student faculty commit- tee. Tentative plans call for the "old favorites" plus many new ones:

Porch,

patio.

1. Morning "pickups" in Reception Hall, or on East

2. Campus picnics for boarding students,

3. Bingo parties and square dances on the auditorium

4. Evening informal dances in Recreation Hall.

5. Movies in the College Auditorium.

6. Student dramatic productions prepared by the group in Theatre Workshop.

7. Campus games — bowling-on-the-green, archery, cro- quet, badminton, etc.

8. Softball tournaments for men and women.

9. Tennis on newly surfaced courts.

10. Bowling and roller skating parties at local recrea- tion centers.

11. Golf and golf instruction at the Old Fort Club.

12. Departmental picnics, and women and men's steak fry at the lodge.

13. Chartered bus trips:

One (each session) to the Civic Light Opera in Pittsburgh.

One (each session) to the Mountain Playhouse at Jennerstown.

One (each session) to the Hi-Way Theatre at Ebens- burg.

One (each session) all-day trip to Cook's Forest — June 19 and August 7.

One Historical tour to Baker's Mansion, Altoona, June 24.

14. Many others — depending on student interests and suggestions to the committee.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMMER SESSIONS 7

GENERAL INFORMATION

Registration. Students are expected to register on the first day of each session. All questions pertaining to fees, programs of classes, and room assignments should be settled so that classes may run full time on Tuesday following regis- tration. Those wishing credits evaluated should see the Dean of Instruction.

Registration for First Session — Monday, June 7.

Registration for Second Session — Monday, July 19.

The dormitories will not be open for students until registration day, June 7. All baggage and trunks will be re- ceived in the basement of John Sutton Hall from where porters will deliver them directly to student rooms. Baggage should be plainly marked with names and room numbers if assign- ments have been made. Students living in cottages should mark their baggage with the street addresses so that the col- lege truck can make speedy deliveries.

On arriving students should :

1. See the Registrar in Recreation Hall and pay fees.

2. See the Dean of Women or Dean of Men and get room assignments.

3. Get programs made out in Recreation Hall or in the office of the director of special departments.

4. Secure books at the Book Store as soon as texts are specifically designated for courses taken.

Class Hours. In general all class work will be completed before noon. Classes begin at 7:45 and close at 12:20, each period being 90 minutes, including the time for changing classes. Some laboratory periods, field trips, practice periods for musical organizations, and similar activities are conducted in the afternoon. Each student should make certain that he can adjust his time to these periods as arranged before making his program.

There will be no Saturday classes.

The time followed will be that of the Indiana Community (probably Daylight).

TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN

Student Living Conditions. Indiana is characteristically a boarding institution in the sense that it provides living accommodations for its students. Those who live in Indiana and vicinity are enrolled as day students. The excellent roads leading to Indiana enable many more students to live at home than was formerly the case. All students who are not living at home are required to live at the college. Students whose homes are not in Indiana and who desire to live with relatives in Indiana as day students must have the approval of the President in advance of registration. Under no circumstances are women students permitted to room or board with private families who are not relatives.

Slight illnesses are cared for in the college infirmary without charge for a period of three days. After three days, a charge of one dollar per day is made. This charge includes the regular nurse and medical services, but does not include special nurse or special medical service.

Students and teachers are responsible for meals of their guests at current transient rates. Only young women of college age may stay in campus buildings overnight; they must be registered with the Dean of Women by the person or persons entertaining them.

All students who live in the college must provide them- selves with blankets, as the college furnishes only the linen and counterpanes. Each student must also provide windov/ curtains, table napkins, soap, towels, and needful toilet articles.

Clothing. To properly enjoy activities of a sports nature, women students will find slacks and comfortable shoes for hiking and First Aid Classes, swimming suits, and shorts for tennis very useful.

Summer activities usually include a garden party for which a summer evening dress is suitable. For all other occasions, cool, comfortable dresses and spectator sports clothes will fill all needs.

Placement Service. The services of the Placement Bureau are available to all students of the college who re- ceive certification. The directors of the various departments take active interest in the placement of their graduates.Co-

ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMMER SESSIONS

ordination of effort is secured through a central committee. The Bureau supplies credentials to employers who are seeking- applicants for positions and serves as a center where graduates may keep their records up-to-date. Alumni are using the Bureau increasingly. Teaching positions are not guaranteed by the college, but Indiana's record of placement is among the very best in Pennsylvania.

COURSES FOR THE SUMMER SESSION

The six curricula are not published in this bulletin. Thej'^ are printed in full with brief descriptions of each course in the 1948-1949 catalog, available upon request. Any course will be taught in the summer if there is sufficient demand. It is very important, therefore, that students fill out and return the enclosed card in order to make known their desires in advance.

Courses listed on the center pages of this bulletin seem certain to be offered, as will others for which there are enough advance requests. Except in special subjects or majors in the secondary field, ten students are necessary to justify a class. The college will be under no obligation to give any course in which fewer than ten are enrolled on opening day.

SPECIAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE DEPARTMENTS

The titles of the courses to be given appear in the lists on pages 12 and 13. A brief discussion of some of the more unusual features in each department is given below. Re-ar- rangement of courses or other necessary readjustments will be made in the effort to meet the needs of individuals. Descrip- tions of regular courses may be found in the general catalog. Only new or unusual courses are specifically mentioned here.

ART DEPARTMENT

During the first summer session the Art Department will present the STUDIO OF PAINTING AND DESIGN. Since the work is largely individual the student may select any courses listed in the Art Curriculum in the fields of drawing and painting or design and commercial art. Such courses as Drawing and Lettering, Media and Techniques, Commercial

10

TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN

Art and Reproduction, or Pictorial Expression and Illustration would be offered. Course work will include lectures, demon- strations, research, field trips, and practical art problems in still life, casts, landscape, or the human figure.

The STUDIO OF CRAFTS in the second summer session will offer courses in Elementary Industrial Arts, Advanced Crafts, Mechanical Drawing, or Interior Design. Students may pursue elementary and advanced work in wood, metal, plastics, and leather. Camp counselors will secure much valu- able material and experience by attending the STUDIO OF CRAFTS.

The third period in the morning will be devoted (o courses for students in other curricula. The Arts in the Inte- grated Program will be offered during the first session and Appreciation of Art in the second.

BUSINESS EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

The summer session courses in business education make provision for distinct needs, as follows:

1. Advanced courses in the main commercial subjects for teachers in service who wish to further their training for either certification, credit towards the degree, or as refresher work.

2. Sequential courses for Veterans who are acceleratin<4- their programs.

3. Review courses for those students who feel the need of strengthening their college standings.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMMER SESSIONS 11

Thomas Natural Shorthand. During the first six weeks of the Summer Session a course in Thomas Natural Shorthand will b,e offered for the convenience' of those who wish to learn the fundamentals of this system, as well as to become pro- ficient in the applications of the system in dictation and methods. This course will continue on through the remaining six weeks of the Summer Session, into more advanced dicta- tion and secretarial practice if sufficient students so desire.

mentary school specialists. Credit may be for either 3 or 6 hours and may be substituted for Teaching of Reading, Teacn- ing of English, Curriculum in Arithmetic, or Teaching oi: American History and Government.

Guidance

This course presents the need for and the nature of guidance needed by adolescent youth together with the con- cepts, kinds and methods of guidance. Emphasis is placed upon the functional aspects of guidance in educational and vocational fields.

Psychology of the Exceptional Child

This course is designed toward an interpretation of those school children who deviate from the accepted form of de- velopment and adjustment and who need special consideration as a result of such deviation. It includes a consideration of the following areas: child development and individual differ- ences; children with varying degrees of ability; the physically handicapped; and children with organic disabilities.

ENGLISH AND SPEECH DEPARTMENT

English. All four of the English core courses — Englisii I and II, American Literature and English Literature — will be offered both sessions. Instruction in Library Science will be part of the work in American Literature and English I.

There will be several electives each session — Modern Drama and Composition Seminar in the first. Contemporary Poetry and World Literature in the second.

Four writing courses will be available in Composition Seminar — Advanced Composition, Short Story, Essay, and Playwriting. All work will be on an individual conference basis.

World Literature may be taken by students in the ele- mentary curriculum in partial fulfillment of requirements for permanent certification.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMMER SESSIONS 15

Speech. Fundamentals of Speech, a required course in all curricula except Home Economics, will be available botli sessions. Creative Dramatics will be given the second ses- sion. It is a course adaptable to both secondary and ele- mentary teaching.

In the first session, the Drama Workshop will again be featured. Designed to give practical as well as theoretical training in acting, producing, directing, costuming and stage- craft, it makes possible credits in four Speech electives — Play Production, Creative Dramatics, Costuming and Make-up, and Stagecraft and Scenic Design.

Realistic problems will be met and valuable experience gained through the presentation, before paying audiences, of two full-length plays. Short plays will be produced for labor- atory purposes.

The work of the Drama Workshop should be of special interest to teachers who, often without training in modern theatre practice, have the job of coaching school plays. Cre- dits will be limited to six hours.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES

Efficient learning in the elementary and conversational areas of modern foreign languages depends essentially on the acquisition and easy use of new skills. Hence the summer session, when classes meet daily for longer periods of time, is especially favorable for the practice and drill which con- tribute predominantly to best results.

Either Spanish I or French I will be offered the First Session with opportunity to continue the same language dur- ing the Second Session ; thus it will be possible to complete the normal work of the first year in the course of the summer. Elementary Conversational Spanish VI or a similar course iti French will be given in the First Session ; this course may be taken by any student who has had one or more years of college work in the language in question. In the Second Session an advanced course in either Spanish or French will be offered.

16 TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN

GEOGRAPHY DEPARTMENT

The following quotation is taken from the Constitution of UNESCO. "Since wars begin in the minds of men it is in the minds of men that the defenses of peace must be constructed. Ignorance of each other's ways has been a common cause of the suspicion and distrust between the peoples of the world through which their differences have all too often led to wars." The Geography Department will offer a greater variety of courses during the summer sessions of 1948 than it has pre- sented in some years. The variety of courses and the orienta- tion of each course will be designed to give to teachers in all fields background materials to help them remove from pupils' minds the "ignorance of each other's ways" . . . "through which their differences have all too often led to wars."

HEALTH EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

The summer work of the Health Education Department is concerned largely with general health and recreational activities, although some courses are offered for credit. A wide range of activities such as swimming, archery, badmin- ton, croquet, baseball, loop tennis, tether ball, golf, and fly- casting are available for those who do not desire more stren- uous sports.

Driver Education and Training. This course prepares teachers to teach Driver Education and Training in the Sec- ondary Schools. A pre-requisite of two years driving exper- ience is necessary. It consists of an over-view of transportation problems in general and those of the automobile in particular. The course deals with the qualifications that are necessary to make an expert driver, the driver and pedestrian responsibili- ties, sound driving practices, society's responsibilities, and how to drive. There is in addition to this academic study in the class room 16 units of behind the wheel instruction.

Safety Education. The toll of lives lost, permanent dis- ability, injury, and economic waste due to accidents in the home, on the highways, and in industry is appalling. To com- bat this great waste of human lives and materials, we have instituted a course in safety education. It will cover materials adapted to all age groups and deal with the most common hazards found in the community. Two hours credit.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMMER SESSIONS 17

DEPARTMENT OF HOME ECONOMICS

Home Economics prepares all people for living and for marriage as well as preparing home economics majors to teach in all of the high schools of Pennsylvania. Three of the courses offered in this department this summer appeal equally or more to non-economics majors. Clothing III is for home eco- nomics majors or those who have had previous training or a great deal of experience in clothing construction.

Consumer Education is needed by all people, men and women. This course meets the Economics II requirement for Business Education majors. It is of special importance to Elementary majors because the only mathematics most people use in life is in relation to consumer buying. Life satisfactions are gained by intelligent selection of goods and services.

Clothing III (for home economics majors) . Technical skills in garment construction are developed. A coat or suit is con- structed with emphasis on ready-to-wear versus hand-tailored coats and suits. Wardrobe needs are considered with emphasis on care, repair, renovating and remodeling clothing. Fabrics cost approximately $35.00. Prerequisites: Clothing I or II or the consent of the instructor.

Education for Family Living is open to all students ex- cept home economics majors. You may choose units in any of the areas of home making; selection of food for health; prep- aration of appetizing meals; selection and purchase of a desirable wardrobe; the care of clothing; child care and development in prenatal and pre-school years; consumer buying; management of time, energy and money in the home, and family relations. Just the things for an elective.

Family Relationships (for all college students). Solutions are sought for problems of the modern American family such as family stability, preparation and responsibilities for suc- cessful marriage, the unmarried, married women working, etc. The family's influence on personality development, atti- tudes, planes and standards of living is studied. Readings, discussion, special speakers and conferences are used in facing and solving these problems.

is TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN

LABORATORY SCHOOL Student Teaching. Student teaching will be provided for a limited number of candidates who meet the requirements that have been in force for several years. It is scheduled for the first session only, beginning June 7. No student is granted student teaching at Indiana until he has had at least one semester of resident work during which he has passed 16 or more semester hours with at least a "C" average and no failures. To do student teaching in summer school the student must meet the above requirements, be a candidate for a de- gree, and have had at least five years' teaching experience. The only exception to this experience requirement is in the case of a student who has previously done a full semester of student teaching on the campus and who wishes to secure the additional teaching credit for his degree or for certifica- tion in another field. Applications must be filed by May 15 to assure enough opportunities for all who desire.

MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT

Advanced College Algebra. This is a second course in Algebra designed to develop a knowledge of Algebraic theory and skill in the processes. Although the course is organized primarily for students majoring or minoring in mathematics, it should be of great value to any secondary mathematics teacher as in-service training. Units of study will be selected from the following: Theory of equations, determinants, partial fractions, series, permutations and com- binations, probability, complex numbers, interest and an- nuities, etc. Prerequisite : College Algebra. Three hours credit.

Analytic Geometry. This is the third course in the series required for students specializing in mathematics. It is being offered in the summer in order to make it possible for students on an accelerated program to take their mathe- matics in regular sequence. Prerequisites: College Algebra I and Trigonometry. Three hours credit.

MUSIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

Music in the Integrated Program. The newest tech- niques in cooperative curriculum construction in the element- ary grades and junior high school with music serving as the

ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMMER SESSIONS 19

correlating agent in the building of units of instruction. Class workshop techniques are employed, with grade teachers and music supervisors working in committees in organizing such units. Analyses of varying educational philosophies as they affect the teaching of aesthetic education are presented for discussion and background for the units. Three hours credit.

Advanced Choral and Instrumental Conducting. The edu- cational and musical preparation of the school music conduc- tor; the skills, information, appreciations, materials, are pre- sented in this class. In addition to baton techniques, choral and instrumental techniques, orchestration, program building, marching Uand maneuvers are studied. Three hours credit.

Applied Music. The study of orchestral and band instru- ments for building skills, and for techniques of presentation in public schools. Work offered in private lessons and in class instruction. The fee for practice use of piano, band, or or- chestral instruments for one period a day is $2.75 per summer session of six weeks. One to three hours credit.

Instrumental Methods and Materials. Surveys of the newest texts in the teaching of instrumental music are made; development of a course of study in instrumental music ; tesrs and measurements in this field ; the administration of an in- strumental department studying scheduling of classes, finan- cial responsibilities and organization problems; the develop- ment of the marching band, concert band, dance band, school orchestra and string programs.

Appreciation of Music. This course is designed to meet the cultural needs of the average music lover; to provide a wider understanding of music as an art and as an integral part of modern life ; and to offer opportunity to become in- timately acquainted with a variety of great music. The human values of music and its correlation with art, literature and geography are stressed.

SCIENCE DEPARTMENT

A well-balanced program of courses in Biology, Physic.^', and Chemistry will be offered this summer. Every effort has been made to arrange courses for the following groups of sum- mer students :

20 TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN

1. Those students who are accelerating

2. Those students wishing to specialize in a special area of Science

3. Those students who are completing the re- quirements for a degree

4. Those students who are seeking additional certifications or permanent certifications.

In the biological field, a definite emphasis will be given to plants and animals as entities rather than the usual stress on structure and functional parts. The summer season lends itself well to this type of course. Such a treatment should have a contribution to make to those who have had the introductory botany or zoology as well as to those who have had no bio- logical science.

In the physical science field, advantage of the summer season will be taken up by conducting field trips in Physical Science.

SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT

A wide variety of courses will be offered in history and social science, including- the regularly required courses in the elementary and secondary fields. The needs of students in- terested in this area of specialization will be met as well as the needs of those working- for certification. Every candidate for certification in social studies must have at least nine hours in the social sciences: these should include three hours each in American Government, Economics, and Sociology.

History of the United States and Pennsylvania. In each of the two sessions this course is offered. Action of the State Council of Education states that subsequent to September 1, 1944 all certificates issued by the Department of Public In- struction to teach in the public schools of the Commonwealth, shall, in addition to the present regulations, require a basic course in the history of the United States and Pennsylvania.

Students are not expected to room alone. Therefore, pros- pective students are urged to apply in pairs. In this way each student is assured a congenial roommate. Single applica- tions are handled to the best possible advantage, but the col- lege prefers that students make their own choices whenever possible. The college does not guarantee a suitable room ex- cept in cases where the reservation deposit has been paid in advance and accepted. Applications for rooms are filed in the order in which they are received. Students are requested to write to the Dean of Women if there is any preference in rooms, and to indicate whether a room with or without water is desired.
