STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE GENERAL INFORMATION
History
TTie West Chester Academy, founded in 1812, marks the begin- ning of the College. The Academy trustees took the initial steps in 1869 toward the establishment of the West Chester Normal School. The graduates of this institution went out into the state as teachers. The Commonwealth, realizing its responsibility in the preparation of teachers, began in 1871 to grant money to pay part of their training. These grants, then termed State Aid, have continued in various forms. As the West Chester Normal School, the institution had five principals. Dr. Andrew Thomas Smith, the last to bear the title, was a scholarly and deeply loved executive. When the State Normal School became the State Teachers College in 1927, the head of the institution became president. Among the men who have led the school. Dr. George Morris Philips, the fourth prin- cipal, is especially prominent. Through his long term of service he made a major contribution to the physical and educational progress of the College. His name is associated with the building program which he successfully initiated and accomplished. The college plant consisted of one building, the present central section of "Old Main," when he became principal. From 1891 to 1920 his direction and inspiration increased the College by the construction of additions to "Old Main," the Old Gymnasium, the Green House, the Infirm- ary, and Recitation Hall. The Demonstration School and the Library were added at the turn of the century. Wayne Hall, built on the site of the Camp Wayne of the Civil War, was erected in 1911. The auditorium and administration building was built in 1925 and named the Philips Memorial Building in honor of Dr. Philips. 1930 saw the addition of the Ehinger Gymnasium and the President's residence. More recently the Library and Power House have been remodeled and a Laundry and new education building, Anderson Hall, have been built.
The College is justly proud of its reputation in the educational world. One of the earliest summer schools in the country was inaugurated here in 1877. West Chester also printed one of the first student handbooks in 1895.
Among the material treasures of the College are: an original painting of George Washington by Charles Wilson Peale for which
24 State Teachers College
Washington gave sittings at Valley Forge during the memorable winter 1777-78; a mahogany grandfather's clock, once the property of Benjamin Franklin; a large collection of letters from the pens of Washington, Lafayette, Greene, Arnold, Wayne, Hamilton, Put- man, Sullivan, and Gates, as well as from such literary men as Sidney Lanier and Thomas Buchanan Read; and the autographed book collection of Dr. George Morris Philips to which the English Professional Club is constantly adding.
The State Teachers College at West Chester is the repository of the mineral collections and the herbarium of the Chester County Cabinet of Natural Science. The herbarium includes plant specimens collected in Chester County more than a century ago by Dr. William Darlington and his colleague, David Townsend. The library of the Cabinet is also the property of the College and contains many old and now rare books on natural history, which may be consulted upon request to the librarian.
The Darlington Herbarium and the mineral collections of the Cabinet are located in the Science Museum on the third floor of Anderson Hall. These have been augmented by an archaeological exhibit and the J. Preston Thomas collection of mammal horns. Recently the College acquired the complete ornithological collection of B. Harry Warren, M.D., formerly the State Ornithologist of Pennsylvania, and long-time resident of West Chester.
In 1952, the College received from the late William Pyle Philips, as a legacy, copies of the four Folios of Shakespeare's plays, that is, the First, 1623, Second, 1632, two variants of the Third, 1663 and 1664 respectively, and the Fourth, 1685. It also received the nine volume set of Sanderson's Biographies of the Signers to the Declara- tion of Independence, with autographs of the Signers set in.
These valuable books were given in memory of Dr. Francis Harvey Green and will be permanently housed in the Francis Harvey Green Library.
Location
West Chester is the county seat of Chester County, one of the three original counties laid out by William Penn. The plow engraved on the seal of the county symbolizes the agricultural character of its beautiful rolling hills reminiscent of the English home counties.
Those interested in literature and art will find West Chester has significance. Here Joseph Hergesheimer, the novelist, lived for many years. Sidney Lanier, Bayard Taylor, Thomas Buchanan Read,
West Chester, Pennsylvania 25
Mark Sullivan, and Elsie Singmaster, all have associations with West Chester. The country which Howard Pyle, the artist, made famous lies along the neighboring Brandy wine; and the late N. C. Wyeth, a world renowned pupil of Pyle, lived at nearby Chadds Ford.
The famous Longwood Gardens on the estate of the late Pierre S. du Pont are not far from West Chester. These are open to the public. Here are found a magnificent conservatory, an open-air theatre, a famous carillon, and beautiful colored fountains.
The country around West Chester is rich in historical interest. The Valley Forge Memorial Chapel and the camp grounds, the Brandywine Battlefield, Birmingham Meeting House, and the site of the Paoli Massacre lie close at hand. The proximity of West Chester to Philadelphia and its wealth of historical associations enables students to enrich their courses by visits to well-known shrines and institutions as Independence Hall, Carpenters' Hall, the Betsy Ross House, the Pennsylvania Museum of Art, the Acad- emy of Fine Arts, the Rodin Museum, the United States Customs House, The United States Mint, the Zoological Gardens, the Frank- lin Institute, and the Academy of Natural Sciences. Philadelphia's fine musical organizations afford opportunities to those with an interest in music to hear the best concerts and operas. This is a particular advantage to those taking the course for music super- visors.
BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS
The grounds of the State Teachers College consist of 57.3 acres located in the soutJieastern part of West Chester. Sixteen buildings with an estimated value of some $5,530,000 are erected on this tract.
The Reynolds property, adjacent to the Main Campus, was acquired in 1948. It consists of approximately four and one-half acres on which are located a large stone house and a garage.
The Main Campus
The major buildings of the College are located on the Main Campus, a tract of 12.5 acres. The number and variety of its magnificent old trees makes West Chester one of the more attractive eastern colleges. Several recent classes have added much to the beauty of the campus with generous gifts of trees and shrubs.

THE PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE AT WEST CHESTER
The Normal School Act, approved May 20, 1857, divided the state into twelve districts and gave permission for the establishment of a normal school in each district. The first district was composed of the following counties: Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia. Under the provisions of this act the State Nor- mal School at West Chester, Pennsylvania, was recognized Febru- ary 22, 1871. The Normal School became a teachers college offer- ing four-year curricula in 1927. The first degrees were granted during the summer of that year.
The School Laws of Pennsylvania, 1953, set forth the purposes for creating and maintaining teachers colleges. Sections 2003 and 2009 read as follows:
Section 2003 — Purpose — Tlie colleges shall be a part of the public school system of the Commonwealth, and their purpose the education and preparation of teachers. The colleges shall provide proper facilities for instruction in the art and science of teaching,
West Chester, Pennsylvania 29
for the boarding and lodging of students in residence, and other necessary facilities approved by the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
Section 2009 — Vocational Education and Rehabilitation Program: The trustees of any State Teachers College with the ap- proval of the Department of Public Instruction and the Governor, may cooperate with municipal. State, Federal, and other agencies in vocational education and rehabilitation programs in the furtherance of the national defense and post-war activities. For such purposes they shall have power to do all things and enter into all agreements necessary to carry out the same . . .
From the date that the Normal School was recognized by the State to the present time both the Normal School and the College has held as its objective the preparation of teachers for the public schools. The College now offers four curricula — Elementary, Sec- ondary, Music, and Health and Physical Education. The College offers courses evenings and on Saturdays to accommodate teachers in service.
The State Department of Public Instruction in 1951 approved a program of training for the degree Bachelor of Science in Education for Public School Nurses and for Dental Hygienists. The State Teachers College at West Chester is cooperating in this program.
The program at the College stresses the complete preparation of teachers. The mental, physical, and spiritual needs of the students are given attention. Extra-curricular activities, lectures, entertain- ments, and religious club activities afford each student an oppor- tunity to develop a wholesome personality and to build a good character.
From time to time the faculty study the needs of the College in relation to the work of the teacher in the public schools. Curriculum studies are directed both to content of subject matter areas and to the methods to be used in each field. Special committees are ap- pointed to study various problems and to report their findings and recommendations to the faculty. Recently a state-wide study and revision of the curricula in the several State Teachers Colleges was made. These revised curricula were put into operation with the freshman class of 1951. Further studies and adjustments are being continued especially in those areas that lend themselves to inte- gration.
30 State Teachers College
A Student-Faculty Leadership Group is a functioning unit of the College. This group is made up of students, administrative oflScials, and faculty members. The students represent the four college classes, the student government association, the day and dormitory councils of the men and women, and major club groups. This group considers those questions and problems that are of vital interest to the student body. Through this group means of com- munication are kept open so that a two-way flow of opinion and careful thinking may have a true vehicle of expression. It has proved very helpful in providing and establishing good relations among the members of the college community. It is felt that it has great carry over values in real life situations and in future citizenship activities.
Under the provisions of the school laws as indicated in Section 2009, the State Teachers College at West Chester, Pennsylvania, gives training in academic subjects to a class of nurses from the Chester County Hospital. This work constitutes a minor part of the program of the College and does not interfere with the regular pro- gram of teacher education.
COLLEGE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION
Based upon the belief that all who share in the advantages of the college commimity should join in the responsibility of govern- ment, a college community has been conceived whereby faculty and students co-operate as fully as possible for the mutual advancement of the college program.
A number of achievement goals for each college year has been set up as tentative guides for a program of college life, subject to constant modification to meet new trends and needs. These goals cover the areas of administration, instruction, student life and per- sonnel, community and service area relationship, and teacher education.
These goals are achieved through a series of committees and coordinating agencies. The Executive Committee is an advisory group of faculty and administrators aiding the President of the College in formulating and executing the general administrative policies of the institution. It is composed of the officers of adminis- tration and the heads of departments.
The standing committees represent both faculty interests and faculty-student interests. They are the Faculty Executive commit-
West Chester, Pennsylvania 31
tee and the committees on Admission, Personnel and Guidance, Scholarship, Student Life and Activities, Athletics, and Student Teaching and Placement.
Student Government
Students elect a Student Government Association and Councils, which, working with the deans, cooperate in the government of the College.
Convocations
Weekly convocations are held throughout the year. The pro- grams consist of lectures, concerts, recitals, plays, and other events of interest to the studentsi.
All-Star Entertainment Course
An All-Star Entertainment Course brings to the campus each year distinguished lecturers and artists of the highest rank in music, drama, and the dance. These entertainments are available to the students at a very small cost, which is covered by the Student Ac- tivity Fee. The College has been greatly aided in this project by the cordial cooperation received from the citizens of West Ches- ter, members of the faculty, and students of the College. These entertainments are held in the Philips Memorial Auditorium. Among the attractions have been Lawrence Tibbett, Marion Anderson, John Charles Thomas, Grace Moore, Bidu Sayao, Helen Traubel, Mario Berini, Alexander Kipnis, Christopher Lynch, Albert Spaulding, Jascha Heifetz, Zino Francescati, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Eve Curi, Anne O'Hare McCormick, the Joos Ballet, Svetlova, Paul Draper and Larry Adler, Luboschutz and Nemenoff, Appleton and Field, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, the Cleveland Sym- phony Orchestra, the National Symphony Orchestra, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Rise Stevens, Columbus Boy Choir, Margaret Webster's Shakespearean Company in Macbeth, Igor Gorin, James Melton, Margaret Chase Smith, Robert Shaw Chorale, the Charles L.

Intercollegiate Athletics
It has become recognized by educators and public alike that athletics is a part of general education because athletic activities provide situations that are akin to life experiences, and as such, are conducted with the purpose of developing the educational values which grow out of them.
With this in mind, the College Administration has set up an organization for the control of athletics; it has provided facilities, built schedules, and furnished instructors for the purpose of filling these educational needs.
Sports such as football, baseball, basketball, soccer, track, wrest- ling, swimming, tennis, gymnastics, lacrosse, golf, and cross-coun- try, are conducted for the purpose of providing our young men with activities that not only will prove beneficial to their health but also will give them a training which will be valuable when they are called upon to coach these sports.
It is the policy of the College Administration first, to provide a variety of sports, as indicated above, in order that as many young men as possible may participate in the activities which interest them most and in which they may achieve a high degree of personal skill; second, to provide eligibility rules that are just and sensible, yet will insure good scholarship; third, to provide schedules which are in our college class, yet are in keeping with the traditions and stand- ing of our College; fourth, and finally, to give athletics their rightful place in our educational program of preparing teachers so that they will function properly in the life of the student body, but will not assume an importance out of all proportion to their value.
The State Teachers College at West Chester is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the Middle Atlantic States Collegiate Athletic Conference, and a charter member of the East- ern College Athletic Conference. In addition. West Chester con- forms to the eligibility standards set by the Board of Presidents of the Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges.
The athletic program at West Chester provides adequate player and spectator opportunities. Facilities and equipment are of the best. All team coaches are regular members of the faculty.
34 State Teachers College
Intramural Athletics
An athletic program cannot be justified educationally if it is confined to intercollegiate competition alone. There must be pro- vision for aU students, so the policy of the College Administration is to expand this part of the program for both men and women, in order that a variety of activities may be supplied for all of our students. Such sports as touch football, swimming, soccer, tennis, track, speed ball, soft ball, and volley ball are organized and con- ducted for the men students.
Women's Recreation Association
Intramural athletics for women are conducted by the Women's Recreation Association for the social, physical, and recreational benefits of the women students of the College. Its governing council consists of the club oflScers and sports managers and one faculty adviser. Its program provides a wide range of activities including the modem dance, hockey, archery, volley ball, swimming, lifesaving, tennis, hiking, basketball, softball, badminton, table tennis, and bowling. In addition the W.R.A. sponsors recreational evenings when both men and women students have opportunity to participate in a social dancing class, to engage in roller skating, and to join in folk and old-fashioned square dancing.
Student Health Service
The Board of Trustees has authorized and sponsored the estab- lishment of a Student Health Service at the College. The purpose of this Health Service is two-fold: first, to safeguard the health of the student while in college; and second, to develop in prospective teach- ers an awareness of proper scientific health habits and attitudes.
All students are required to undergo a complete physical exam- ination at the College at the beginning of each academic year. All freshmen and seniors must, in addition, have chest X-Rays. It is the responsibility of the student to report for this examination at the time and place announced by the College.
The College maintains a modern and efficient infirmary with attending physician and two graduate nurses. Students are urged to avail themselves of the facilities of the Student Health Service and to be individually responsible for preserving the general good health of the college group.
Students are advised that first treatment is provided without charge. After the initial office consultation and first aid treatment,
West Chester, Pennsylvania 35
subsequent treatments will be given by, or under, the advice of a physician of the student's choice. All expenses for medicine and treatment by the physician of the student's choice will be borne by the student. The physician of the student's choice may attend the patient at the Infirmary.
In case of serious illness, a student will :
1. Be removed to one of the two local hospitals after notifica- tion of the parents or guardian,* or
2. Be hospitalized at the Infirmary under the care of special nurses whose charges will be paid by the student or respon- sible person, or
3. Be removed by parents or guardian to his home and be attended by private physician until recovery is complete.
Placement Service
The State Teachers College at West Chester maintains an active Education Placement Service. The Placement Director has general charge of the service. He is assisted in this work by the heads of the special curricula and by the Committee on Placement composed of the Dean of Instruction and Supervisors of Student Teaching.
Members of school boards, superintendents, supervising prin- cipals, and others in need of teachers, are requested to make application to the Placement Director as early as possible. The Placement Service is in position to send out thorough and adequate information concerning each of the graduates of the College. This material is available to any school official who desires the informa- tion in connection with an application made by one of our graduates. The information covers scholastic standing, a comprehensive eval- uation of the individual's student teaching experience, and general evaluations of personality, character, competency, and professional potentialities by members of the individual's major and minor de- partments together with a definite statement compiled by the grad- uate himself.
Graduates of the State Teachers College at West Chester are asked to keep in touch with the Placement Director in order that they may be recommended for better positions demanding experi- ence. Graduates are also asked to keep the office informed of vacan-

cies so that these positions, in turn, may be brought to the attention of teachers not placed.

Marking Sysiem
The marking system now in force in the State Teachers College at West Chester provides that the grading be designated by letters as follows:
Grade — Interpretation Percentage Equivalents Quality Points
A— Excellent A— 93-100 3
B— Superior B— 85- 92 2
C— Average C— 77- 84 1
D— Passing D— 70- 76 0
F — Failure F — 69 or lower — 1
I — Incomplete (See "P'ovisions" .)
West Chester, Pennsylvania 37
Percentage Equivalents
For those who prefer to think of the grading in terms of figures, it has been determined that each letter represents the range of per cents shown in the second column.
Quality Points:
The quality points indicated in the third column are allowed for each semester hour of work. Thus, the number of quality points earned in a three-credit course with a grade of "A" equals 3 (the number of credits) times 3 (the number of quality points allowed for an "A") or 9. Quality points are used to determine averages.
Explanation :
The grading system provides that the "C" grade be interpreted as the average accomplishment; the "B" grade as accomplishment superior to the average, and the "A" grade very superior or excep- tional work. The "D" grade represents accomplishment inferior to the average and indicates the lowest type of work that will be ac- cepted as of passing grade. The "F" grade represents that accom- plishment wherein the quality of work done by a student is below that represented by the "D" grade or 70 per cent. A grade of "F" implies that the course so graded must be repeated by the student.
Provisions :
If because of personal illness certified by a physician, a student ■is not able to meet the requirements of a course at the close of a 'semester a grade of "I" may be assigned by the instructor. This grade indicates that the work is incomplete. This work must be completed satisfactorily by the end of the ninth week of the semes- ter following the giving of the grade. Failure to meet this require- ment will result in the "I" grade being changed to an "F" on the permanent record card. In no case, is a student given a grade of "I" in any course when the cause of incomplete work is irregular at- tendance, negligence, absence from final examination, or inability to do college grade work.
When a student fails a course by a margin so close that the instructor believes that a re-examination is justified, the student may be graded "E". In all cases where an "E" grade is assigned, the student must take the re-examination by the end of the ninth week of the semester following the giving of this grade. The final grade for an "E" (re-examination privilege) cannot exceed a "D". Failure
38 State Teachers College
to meet this requirement will result in the "E" grade being changed to an "F" on the permanent record card.
Reports to Parents
The office of the Dean of Instruction will mail a report of each student's grades to his parents or guardian after the close of each semester.
Dean's List
The Dean's List is issued after the close of each semester and contains the names of those students who have earned an average of "B" or higher for the semester.
Honor Roll
The Honor Roll contains the names of those students who for the first seven semesters have maintained a record of "B" or higher.
Scholarship Requirements
A student admitted to the State Teachers College at West Ches- ter must show that he has capacity to do academic and professional work of college grade and that he is in accord with the ideals of teacher education.
Students who earn a grade average of less than 1.00 (C) during a semester will automatically be placed on academic probation for the following semester in which they are in attendance.
Students who earn a grade average of less than 1.00 (C) during a period of academic probation will be subject to dismissal from the College.
Full-time students (those who carry 14 semester hours of credit or more) who do not pass at least ten semester hours of work during a semester, will be dismissed from the College.
Student Teaching
Student teaching is to be taken in the seventh or eighth semes- ter and normally culminates the professional experience in preservice preparation for teaching. Students should file applications for ad- mission to student teaching during the spring semester of their junior year.

secure certification, by the College Supervisor, by the Dean of In- struction, and by the Director of Student Teaching.
Remedied Instruction
New students whose records are low on the Classification Tests which are administered to all incoming students may be required to carry fewer semester hours of credit than a normal class load and may be required to attend without credit remedial classes in English and/or Reading.
Resident Credit Requirements
A minimum of 32 semester hours of resident credits are required for graduation from a degree curriculum. Graduates of a two-year normal school curriculvm are required to earn at least 32 semester hours of additional resident credits to be eligible for a degree. Resi- dent credits may be earned in day, evening, and Saturday classes which are offered on campus.
Class and Convocation Attendance
Regidar and punctual attendance at classes and convocations is considered essential to sound scholarship and good campus citizen- ship. Upon admission to the College each student is supplied with a copy of the absence policy and agrees to conform with its pro- visions.
Withdrawals From College
The student should notify the Dean of Instruction, in writing, stating the reason for his intention of withdrawal from the College.
Should a student fail to comply with this requirement, the ad- ministration will, after ten days of unexplained absence, declare the student not a member of the College. The date on which his con- nection with the College terminates will be the day on which he last attended classes.
When a student discontinues his work at the College, either for illness or any other reason, he must notify the Dean of Instruction as soon as possible, otherwise he will receive marks of "F" in each of his courses on his permanent record card. This will residt in difiBculty in re-entering the College or in securing admission to another institution.

EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
The developing of the extra-curricular program, fitting it to the needs of the students, and co-ordinating its various phases into the whole of college living is the responsibility of the Director of Person- nel. Questions of policy and regulations, the evaluating of the objec- tives of an activity, and other problems are acted upon by a committee composed of faculty and students.
The program of extra-curricular activities at West Chester em- phasizes four types of activities leading to individual and group de- velopment. The various clubs, organizations, activities, and respon- sibilities are grouped under one of four headings according to type of development emphasized. The following indicates the four types together with some of the activities included in each phase:
Type A: Activities that center around college group life; activities of college community government and living, such as: Stu- dent Activities Association Executive Board, Student Coun- cils, Class Committees, Epicurean Club, Quad Angles, Student-Faculty Committees, Serpentine, Press Board, Little Theatre.
TypeB: Activities that promote better professional development — that train for sponsorship and organization of "extra-class" programs in the public schools. The various departments of the College sponsor professional clubs, such as: Associa- tion of Childhood Education, English, French, Geography, Mathematics, Music, Social Studies, Science, men's and women's sports activities for health and physical education students.
Type C: Activities that promote finer ethical values. These groups have organized a Council of Religious Clubs that plans for a unified program for the year as well as emphasizes ethical action as a united front; it is through united effort in this area that we may raise the standards of honor and charac- ter on the campus. The organizations in this group are: Bible Study Club, Hillel Foundation, Newman Club, and Christian Association.
Type D : Activities that satisfy individual interests. These activities are those of hobby groups and include a long list, such as : art, athletics, glee clubs, photography, phonograph, nature study, orchestra, etc.
50 State Teachers College
Extra-Curricular Requirements for Students
Each student is required to participate in the activities of a club for one semester of each of the four years on campus, and is required to take part, without credit, in one Physical Education activity each semester in which no Physical Education course or Student Teaching is required. The Extra-Curricular Activities Committee and the Per- sonnel Department ask the co-operation of the students in taking ad- vantage of the varied types of extra-curricular activities that are of- fered. In order to receive credit for participation in extra-curricular activities it is necessary to meet the minimum attendance require- ment and to actively take part in the activities of the club or organi- zation.
No student is permitted to hold more than one office in one se- mester. It is hoped that in this way it may be possible to spread op- portunity and divide responsibility, thus develop leaders and discover latent abilities as well as continue to enjoy the services of those who are naturally inclined to direct affairs.
Students are urged to take into account the fact that their extra- curricular participation often has an important bearing upon their placement when seeking positions. Students should keep in mind not only the placement value of their extra-curricular program but also its cultural value.
PUBUCATIONS
Quad Angles, the student newspaper, is published by an under- graduate staff. Positions in the organization are open to any mem- ber of the student body with reporting or editing ability. A faculty member serves as adviser.
The Serpentine is the college yearbook published under the direction of the Senior Class. This record of college activities is edited by a student staff with a faculty adviser.
The Ram's Horn is a publication of the Varsity Club produced on the occasion of each home game of the football season. The staff is made up from the undergraduate body of the College aided by a faculty adviser.
The Handbook is published each year as an aid to incoming freshmen. It is prepared by a student staff with the advice of a faculty sponsor.

STUDENT HELP EMPLOYMENT
Applications for the various types of student employment are accepted after May 1 of each year. Appointments for the year are made about July 1. Applications must be renewed each year.
Student Help Assistants
The College employs a limited number of students as helpers in some of the departments of the College; for example, the library, laboratories, and offices. Positions pay sixty cents an hour, the amount earned depending upon the number of hours employed dur- ing a month. Part-time positions require twenty-five hours work per month and pay $135. for the year; full-time positions require fifty hours work each month and pay $270. for the year. Most of these jobs require some special form of training or skill. The money earned must be used exclusively for college expenses and is available pri- marily for those who could not otherwise attend college. This money will defray from one-fourth to approximately one-half of the student's college expenses.
Student Waiters
The College employs each year a number of men students as waiters for its dining hall. Students thus employed are paid on an hourly basis and may earn from $150. to $250. for the year, thus defraying approximately one-third to one-half of their college ex- penses. Such positions are primarily available for those who could not otherwise go to college. The money thus earned must be used exclusively for college expenses.

Opportunities for Earning Room and Board
Women students who need to earn the full cost of their board, room, and laundry should make applications for "Home Employ- ment." Those who have had experience or training in home duties are more easily placed. The duties vary from caring for children and tutoring, to cooking, cleaning, and the performance of general household duties. Girls live under conditions and regulations ap- proved by the College and are encouraged to participate in all college activities. This work takes care of the $432. a year charged for room, meals, and laundry of the student who might otherwise live in the dormitory. Those interested should write, after May 1, for application forms to the Dean of Women. A personal interview is required by both the Dean of Women and the Housemother.
There are a few similar opportunities for men. Those interested should apply at the Personnel Office.
Part Time and Odd Jobs
The Personnel Office offers to assist students who wish to earn money toward their college expenses. Students may register for such part time work or odd job wonk as may come to this office from the campus or community. While the Personnel Office makes every effort to obtain places for those who wish employment, it advises against depending upon this source for any regular or dependable income. The opportunities range from a few dollars to nearly $200. for the college year. Students who enter college with training in some special field are able to earn more than those with little or no training.
