ONE HUNDRED FIFTEENTH YEAR
State University of New York
‘The State University of New York was established by the State
Legislature in 1948. It comprises forty-three colleges. Twenty-eight of
them are State colleges and fifteen are locally-sponsored community
colleges. Although separated geographically, all are united in the
purpose to improve and extend opportunities for youth to continue
their education after high school,
State University offers cultural and professional four-year pro-
grams in liberal arts, science and engineering, home economics,
industrial and labor relations, veterinary medicine, ceramics, agricul-
ture, forestry, maritime service, medicine, and teacher preparation,
as well as two-year programs in a wide variety of fields, including
technical courses in agricultural, industrial, health, and service areas.
Several of its colleges offer graduate programs.
Governed by a Board of Trustees appointed by the Governor,
State University of New York plans for the total development of
State-supported higher education. Each college of State University is
locally administered. Students should write directly to the institution
in which they are interested for admission forms.
Although State University of New York is the second largest state
university in the country, its students have the additional advantages
of attending relatively small colleges.
The State University motto is: “Let Each Become All He Is
Capable of Being.”

General Information
HISTORY AND PURPOSES OF STATE COLLEGE
Tur New Yorx Srare Couizcx for Teachers is distinctive among the
colleges and universities of America in its conception and function.
A state college, organized to offer a broad program in the liberal
arts and sciences, leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts or Bach-
elor of Science, it is devoted to the education of young men and
women preparing to teach in the high schools of the state, and shar-
ing this professional purpose. The oldest unit of the State Univer-
sity, and the only unit devoted to this purpose, it is also the only
unit offering in regular session programs for the advanced prepara-
tion of teachers and school officers beyond the bachelor’s degree.
Created by Legislative Action
"The College had its inception in Governor DeWitt Clinton’s mes-
sage to the legislature in 1826 recommending the establishment of
“a seminary for the education of teachers.” This recommendation
resulted, in 1834, in a legislative act providing a subsidy from State
funds for teacher training in eight academies designated by the Re-
gents. The success of this effort led Dr. Alonzo Potter in 1841 to
recommend the establishment of a State Normal School “as supple-
mentary to our present system.”
Calvin T. Hulburd, chairman of the Assembly Committee on
“Colleges, Academies and Common Schools,” introduced a bill “for
the establishment of a Normal School” which authorized the expend-
iture of $10,000 annually for five years, “for the support of a Normal
School for the instruction and practice of teachers of common schools
in the science of education and in the art of teaching.” The bill
became a law on May 7, 1844, and the Normal School was opened
on December 18, 1844,
Established as a College by the Regents
At the meeting of the Board of Regents of the University on
March 13, 1890, the Normal School was changed to the Normal Col-
20
lege and in 1905 the function of the College was designated as the
preparation of “teachers in secondary schools, . . . normal schools,
. and other subjects. . . . that all students be required to pursue
such subjects of study as are deemed essential to a liberal education.”
By action of the Board of Regents on April 30, 1914, the College
became the New York State College for Teachers.
Became a Gonstituent College within the
State University of New York
The Education Law, as amended in 1948, established the State
University of New York and placed the administration of the New
York State College for Teachers under the general direction of the
Trustees of the State University. The final transfer of the College
to the State University became effective on April 1, 1949.
Fundamental Purposes and Ideals
In fulfillment of the evident intent of these resolutions, the State
College for Teachers at Albany has as its ideal a teacher who is an
educated person. The College curriculum interprets “liberal” as used
by the Regents to mean (1) a subject matter content that challenges
a wide range of human interests (2) a technique in teaching that con-
tent that makes the liberal arts function in modern American life so
that they promote tolerance, discredit superstition and prejudice, and
inspire courage to accept truth in every form. The professional pro-
gram supplements and extends the liberal arts program by additional
cultural values and by giving necessary teaching techniques, The
fundamental purposes of the professional phase are (1) to make the
student understand education as a process and (2) to make clear to
the student how the process functions in his own learning activities,
in his teaching activities, and in the problems of the classroom.
Accreditation
The New York State College for Teachers at Albany enjoys un-
usual accreditation privileges. Not orly is it fully accredited through
the New York State Department of Education by the Board of Re-
gents for both the bachelor’s and master’s degrees; it is a full mem-
ber of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education;
it is fully accredited by the Association of American Universities,
by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools,
21
and by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education;
and its graduates are recognized by the American Association of
University Women.
Programs of Study
The undergraduate programs of the College, in addition to the
broad understandings of the major areas of human thought which
characterize a person liberally educated, and the professional com-
petencies desirable in the superior teacher, offer opportunity for spe-
cialized study in the following fields:
For the degree of Bachelor of Arts:
English, French, German, Latin, Librarianship, Mathematics,
Spanish, Social Studies (Economics, Geography, History, Political
Science, Sociology), Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics)
For the degree of Bachelor of Science:
Biology, Business, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics
The graduate programs of the College provide work leading to a
permanent certificate valid for teaching an academic subject in the
high school, and offer facilities for advanced study and research in
the following fields:
For the degree of Master of Arts or Master of Science:
Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Business, Education (Classroom
Teaching (Basic or Advanced), Developmental Reading in the Secon-
dary School, Guidance Service, School Administration, General
Professional), English Literature, French, Latin, Spanish, Mathe-
matics, Social Studies, Speech
Master of Science in Library Science
Teaching Certificates
All degree programs of the college have been registered with the
New York State Education Department. Upon satisfactory completion
of an undergraduate program and the award of a bachelor’s degree
the student qualifies for a provisional certificate valid for teaching one
or more academic subjects or commerce in secondary schools. Upon
the award of the master’s degree the student qualifies for a permanent
certificate.
22
Requests for teaching certificates to be awarded upon the comple-
tion of degree requirements must be filed with the Registrar. Questions
or requests for information concerning certification should be addressed
to the Dean of the College or the Director of Graduate Studies,
The Summer Session
Service to teachers and to other educational workers is the first
consideration in planning the summer program.
Many public-school staff members wish to work in the Summer
Session on problems of importance to their own schools, Such prob-
lems may be studied as a part of the graduate program. Adequate
provision is made for advisory work with graduate students who wish
to specialize in Secondary Education, Public School Administration,
Secondary School Administration, Guidance Service, Developmental
Reading in the Secondary School, Business, Librarianship, and in
content areas of English, Mathematics, Modern Foreign Languages,
the Sciences, and the Social Studies, .
Students who have been awarded the degree, Bachelor of Science
in Education, will find opportunities to extend their content prepa-
ration, especially in the areas of English and the Social Studies. This
preparation is intended particularly to serve those students who plan
to continue their mastery of content materials and, through graduate
study, to prepare to teach junior and senior high school subjects.
Persons interested in summer session study may secure detailed
information about admission, fees, courses offered, dates of the session,
registration procedure, and residence halls by writing to the Director
of Summer Session, New York State College for Teachers, Albany 3,
N.Y.
Extension Teaching
The Department of Extension Teaching provides a sequence of
professional and cultural courses for in-service teachers, supervisors,
principals, and superintendents,
Extension classes are scheduled to meet in the late afternoon or
evening on week days or on Saturday mornings.
A student may register and receive credit for a maximum of two
courses in the extension program in one semester. Off-campus exten-
sion courses do not carry resident credit.
Candidates for degrees must make formal application to the
College for admission to degree candidacy and satisfy the degree
requirements as stated elsewhere in this catalog.
23
Schedules of extension courses for the Fall and Spring semesters
are available about September Ist and January Ist respectively. Any
student interested in a particular course should appear for registra-
tion at the first meeting of that course.
The fee per semester hour is $15.00. Extension course fees are not
refundable after the second scheduled class meeting.
Inquires should be addressed to the Director of Graduate Studies,
New York State College for Teachers, Albany 3, N. Y.
Field Service
The college supports a study council known as The Capital Area
School Development Association (“C.A.S.D.A.”). ‘This association,
which includes representatives of the public school systems and the
college staff, is concerned with the discovery and promotion of the
best in educational theory and practice. The college and the schools
provide the conditions for study, experimentation, and discussion of
problems in education.
The Executive Secretary of C.A.S.D.A. at the college should be
consulted when assistance is needed with respect to the organization
of study groups or when college faculty are desired to present profes-
sional materials or to serve as consultants to interested groups on
particular problems.
The Faculty Lectureship
The Faculty Lectureship was established in 1959 to provide addi-
tional intellectual stimulation to members of the college community and
to make wider use of the intellectual resources of the State College
faculty. It seeks to perpetuate the tradition of the university as a com-
munity of scholars.
The lecturer is a member of the College faculty chosen on the
basis of mastery of his own field and ability to interpret that field to a
general audience. He selects the lecture topic in consultation with the
Faculty Lectureship Committee.
The local chapter of the American Association of University
Professors initiated the Jectureship in close cooperation with the faculty,
administration, and friends of the college. The lectureship is ad-
ministered by a committee including representatives from these groups.
‘The Committee hopes that the lecture will be an occasion of intellectual
and social significance to members of the college community.

eighteen buildings, occupying slightly more than twenty acres.
The College occupies as its main campus an area of approximately
ten acres; six principal buildings house the classrooms and laboratories,
faculty and administrative offices, the library, the gymnasium, audi-
torium, and the Milne School,
‘The State College Alumni Association owns, operates, and pro-
vides for the use of the College, on a tract of approximately ten acres,
two large residence halls. These are an important part of the regular
College housing facilities. To the north and south of this are the
residence halls erected by the State Dormitory Authority, one of which
also houses the Student Union. Immediately west across Partridge
Street, are located the new athletic fields. The Faculty-Student Asso-
ciation has acquired 13 smaller houses for student residence within

Librariés and Reading Rooms
The College Library is located in a separate building, adjacent
to the classroom and administration buildings. The library provides
materials to support the college curriculum, maintains a program of
assisting students in learning the techniques of bibliographical research,
and supplies materials for the intellectual stimulation of students and
faculty. To this end, a collection of 57,000 bound volumes, 400 cur-
rent periodicals, and 6 daily newspapers, is maintained by the Library.
A collection of 1439 phonograph records provides material in
music, literature, and foreign languages. These records may be bor-
rowed for home and classroom use,
‘Two microfilm readers and one microcard reader give the student
access to material which would not otherwise be available in a library
such as this.
The facilities of the Milne School Library, which contains a
collection of books for adolescents and young adults, are available to
all college students.
26
The Department of Librarianship maintains a specialized library
of materials on library science, which is available to students inter-
ested in this field.
The New York State Library with approximately 1,000,000
volumes is available for reference use. Its collection is especially strong
in the fields of American history, of government, and of education.
The College Library is able to borrow from the State Library certain
types of books for student use. Application for such books must be
made at the College Library.
The Albany Public Library extends regular borrowers’ privileges
to State College students who are in full-time attendance, ‘Registration
blanks may be obtained at the College Library and in the case of
non-residents must be indorsed by the College Librarian, The main
collection is to be found at the Harmanus Bleecker Library, Wash-
ington Avenue and Dove Street. Convenient branches are the Pine
Hills, 1000 Madison Avenue, and the John V, L, Pruyn (Business
Branch) , North Pearl Street and Clinton Avenue.
Museum of Natural History
The means of studying geology, botany, zoology, and entomology
have been provided in the State Education Building at a cost of
nearly a million and a half dollars. An opportunity is given students
of the College to acquaint themselves with this collection of specimens
which is hardly equaled in the country. It is believed that for educa-
tional purposes it cannot be surpassed.
The Campus School
The Milne School, named for William J. Milne who was president
of the College from 1889 to 1914, is a coeducational six-year secondary
school which is maintained by the State of New York to provide
opportunities for observation, demonstration, student teaching, and
experimentation.
It offers a junior-senior high school program that prepares for all
colleges. At the same time, a variety of curricula are scheduled so that
the non-college student may be offered high school privileges. College
seniors and graduate students receive opportunities to participate
actively in extra-class and guidance functions that are so necessary
when a school seeks to meet the needs of individual students.
27
Admission, Scholarship and Graduation
Requirements for the Bachelor’s Degree
Selective Basis of Admission
‘Tue Co..zce is interested in young men and women who can profit
from the educational opportunities of its liberal and professional pro-
gram, and who show promise of becoming effective teachers in the
secondary school (grades 7 through 12). Admission is based on evi-
dences of the candidate’s intellectual development, social maturity,
personal characteristics, range of interests, and physical and mental
health.
General Requirements
The decision on an application for admission will be based on the
following information:
1. The high school record. Performance in high school is an
important indicator of college success, and of eventual professional
success, Both school grades and grades on any Regents examinations
are used as a basis for admission.
2. Recommendation from the school. Admission to the College
is not based on scholastic standing alone. Great importance is attached
to the recommendation of the school principal or counselor regarding
the applicant’s personal fitness for college study and professional work,
range of interests, special abilities, work experience, and similar factors.
3. General educational development and aptitudes. These are
evidenced by scores on standardized tests and other measures, as
furnished by the high school record, and on the selective admission ex-
aminations which are required of all applicants.
4, Results of health examination by a physician.
5. The personal interview. The College feels strongly the desir-
ability of personal interviews with applicants for admission, as a means
of judging the applicant’s fitness for College, and of acquainting each
applicant with the College before admission.
28
Subject Preparation
Applicants who are otherwise well qualified for admission will be
considered on whatever patterns of courses their high school programs
present. A broad program of preparation is preferred, and each appli-
cant’s program will be evaluated in terms of his abilities and future
plans. Ordinarily, in accordance with New York State requirements,
each candidate will present English, 4 years; Social Studies, 3 years;
Science and Mathematics, 1 year each.
The following high school programs are recommended for the
guidance of those who expect to become candidates for a bachelor’s
degree from the College:
For the degree of Bachelor of Arts:
English
Social Studies.
Electives chosen from foreign language, science,
mathematics
Electives from the same or other field:
The college is now admitting candidates for the Bachelor of Arts
degree without previous work in a foreign language. However these
students will face the necessity of completing two years of college
study of one foreign language, and will, therefore, find college elective
choices more restricted than if they had completed at least two years of
a foreign language in high school. (After 1960 all candidates for the
Bachelor of Arts degree must present at least two units of foreign
language from high school.) Those who plan a college major or minor
in foreign languages are urged to complete at least two units in each
of the languages in which specialization is planned. Those who are
able in this way to anticipate college requirements by wise selection
of high school electives will find greater flexibility in planning their
college programs.
For the degree of Bachelor of Science:

Admission Procedures
Candidates for admission to the freshman class or to advanced
standing should address the Director of Admissions, New York State
College for Teachers, Albany 3, New York. Applicants should obtain
from the College, and file as early as possible, an official application
form. This form carries the high-school record, the recommendation
from the school, and the test results referred to above. Applicants
should also contact their high school guidance counselor for the loca-
tion and dates of the nearest selective admission examination. After
these materials are received by the Director of Admissions, the appli-
cant is scheduled for personal interviews at the College; at this time,
the applicant has opportunity to discuss with College faculty and stu-
dents the College’s program, opportunities for part-time employment,
housing, and other individual needs. The College gathers informa-
tion from speech and voice tests, appraises the applicant’s personal
attributes, health, and interests, and counsels the applicant. A few
days after the interview the student is notified of his admission status.
Final admission is granted on the basis of three years of the high
school program, with the provision that the high school program is to
be satisfactorily completed and the student graduated.
ADMISSION WITH ADVANCED STANDING
For the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Education
A graduate from the three-year elementary school course of a
New York State normal school or teachers’ college will be considered
by the Committee on Admissions on the same basis as an applicant
for admission to the freshman class except that his scholastic average
will be the result of his normal school accomplishment.
30
For the Degree of Bachelor of Science or
Bachelor of Arts
An undergraduate student in good standing at any accredited
college will be considered for admission with advanced standing upon
the basis of his previous college record, and his satisfaction of the
general requirements for admission.
For the Master’s Degree
Applicants for graduate standing shall meet all requirements
stated under Graduate Study, page 39.
REGULATIONS
This College encourages the widest measure of student responsi-
bility and expects that all persons’ behavior will be consistently main-
tained with a minimum of administrative regulation.
Attendance
All students, both graduate and undergraduate, are expected to
attend class regularly; however, the responsibility for class attendance
is placed upon the student. An exception to the above policy is made
in the case of freshmen and students on academic probation. Freshmen
must report the reason for each class absence to the Attendance
Officer (Room 111), Students on academic probation are allowed no
absences from class except those which are unavoidable. When a stu-
dent on academic probation is absent from class, he is required
promptly to report the reason for his absence to the Dean of the
College (Room 105).
In the case of absence for valid cause, opportunity to make up
work may be granted at the discretion of the instructor.
All students, except those undergraduates on the Dean’s List and
graduate students with an average of 3.5 for the preceding semester,
are required to attend all class meetings on the day before and the day
after a college holiday, unless prior permission for the absence has been
obtained from the Dean of the College.
The College reserves the right to exclude at any time students
whose conduct, academic standing, or attendance at college classes is
unsatisfactory, or whose health or other personal characteristics render
him unsuited to teaching.
31
Withdrawals
A student who wishes to withdraw from the College should
notify personally the Dean of the College or the Dean of Students.
If he cannot appear in person, or if withdrawal occurs when College
is not in session, one of the above should be notified by letter.
A certificate of honorable dismissal is granted to a student who is
in good standing, provided he complies with the above procedure
before actual withdrawal takes place.
32

C, Fair.
D. Passing (see paragraph (d) below).
E, Failing.
N. Indicates Audition only, non-credit.
33
I. Incomplete, Indicates that the student has not completed
all the work of the course, The grade Incomplete auto-
matically becomes an “E” unless completed by the date
specified by the instructor in the coursé, The date specified
will be not later than one month before the end of the
semester following that in which the Grade Incomplete is
received.
W. Withdrawn. Students who withdraw from a course after
the fifth week of classes will be graded “E” in that course
with the following exceptions:
Students who during a semester are granted a leave-
of-absence or honorable dismissal from College
will be graded “W”.
Students advised by the Student Personnel Office to
reduce their class load will be graded “W”, re-
gardless of the date of their withdrawal from
the course.
Grade “D” does not carry credit if in major or minor field, (See
paragraph (d) below).
b. Credit point:
Grade Credit points
A 4 for each semester hour
B 3 for each semester hour
Cc 2 for each semester hour
D 1 for each semester hour
Grades “E”, “I”, and “W” do not yield credit points,
c. A student’s credit point average is based upon all courses
carried including courses failed. A student must have a credit
point average of 2.0 in order to be graduated.
d. All work of the major and minor departments and in Educa-
tion, including electives in these departments, must be com-
pleted with a grade of “C” or better,
Students may not be assigned to student teaching unless
they have earned at least a grade of “CQ” in required
courses in Education and in all work (including elec-
tives) in the major or minor in which the assignment
is to be made,
34

i
|
|
e
Students who fail to earn at least a grade of “C” in their
practice teaching will not be recommended for teach-
ing positions.
A full-time student who fails :o earn 10 semester hours of
credit with an average grade of “C” during any semester in
any year shall withdraw from the College unless the appro-
priate faculty committee grants an official exception. He may,
however, be reinstated after an absence of at least one semes-
ter, provided he presents evidence satisfactory to the Dean of
fitness to resume work.
A student in regular course who fails to secure semester hours,
with an average grade not less than “C”, aggregating 24 at the
completion of his second semester, 56 at the completion of his
fourth semester, and 88 at the completion of his sixth semester,
shall withdraw from the College unless the appropriate
faculty committee grants an official exception.
A student who fails to meet the above scholastic standards
may, at the discretion of the appropriate faculty committee,
be allowed to continue one additional semester on a proba-
tionary basis, Continuance for a probationary semester will be
allowed only where there is reason to believe that the cause of
the failure will be corrected. Students on academic probation
are expected to complete at least 15 semester hours of course
work with an average grade of “C” or higher during their
semester of probation if their registration is to be continued
beyond that semester. It is expected that students on academic
probation will carefully limit non-academic activities. Students
on academic probation are subject to special regulations re-
garding class attendance (see page 31). It should be under-
stood that the status of probation does not serve as a punish-
ment for poor scholarship; rather it is a warning that the
student’s work has fallen to such a point that unless there is
definite improvement he will be unable to graduate.
A student who earns “E” in a required course shall repeat
such course when it is next offered. Exception: If the failure
occurs in the seventh or eighth semester (providing the student
is classified as a senior), he may be granted a re-examination
at such time as is specified by the Dean,
35
i, Semester hour credit will not be recorded for the completion
of work of one semester of a two semester course, Exceptions:
(1) courses, the catalog description of which exempts the
course from this regulation, and (2) those exceptions recom-
mended by the head of the department concerned and ap-
proved by the'Dean.
4. Distribution of work
No student shall register for more than 17 semester hours of work
(exclusive of Physical Education) during one semester, Exception:
those students who during the semester immediately past have com-
pleted a normal load with an average grade of B, or higher, may
register for not more than 18 semester hours. (Graduate students see
page 50).
5. Physical Education requirements
All freshmen and sophomores shall pursue physical education as
specified in the outline of degree requirements,
6. Residence
To obtain a bachelor’s degree, the College requires a student to be
in residence at least for the senior year and to secure at least 30
semester hours of credit in courses completed on the College Campus.
This latter requirement may be satisfied by four or more summer ses-
sions but no part may be satisfied by extension courses which are com-
pleted off the College Campus.
7. Final Honors
A student who receives final honor shall have such honor indicated
upon the commencement program. He must be in residence for at
least two years and earn credit for a minimum of 56 hours of work.
A student who earns an average standing of 3.0 or above, but less than
3.4, receives his degree cum laude; of 3.4 or above, but less than 3.7,
receives his degree magna cum laude; of 3.7 or above, receives his
degree summa cum laude,
The average standing is computed by dividing the number of
credit points earned by the number of semester hours of credit taken.
A mark of “D” or “E” in practice teaching debars the student from
final honors.
On the recommendation of the English Department a student
who completes the Honors Program may receive Honors in English or
High Honors in English.
36
8, Dean’s List '
A student who completes at least 15 semester hours with a credit
point average of 3.0 or higher in any semester shall have his name
placed on the Dean’s List of Distinguished Students for the following

Graduate Study
The New York State College for Teachers offers graduate study
leading to the degree of Master of Arts, Master of Science, or Master
of Science in Library Science. Programs are offered in teaching aca-
demic subjects, Speech, and Business in secondary schools, in Educa-
tion, and in Library Science. The primary purpose of the graduate
program is to offer capable students an opportunity and facilities for
advanced study and research and to provide a comprehensive view of
a field of knowledge, all from the viewpoint of the profession of teach-
ing. Graduate study of this nature is increasingly important in the
preparation of teachers and has long been essential for persons engaged
in specialized areas of educational service. It is the aim of the graduate
program, therefore, to assist its students to achieve the level of under-
standing and competence basic to successful professional careers in
education.
Through the programs students may prepare for teaching in
secondary schools or for work in specialized areas of education. Stu-
dents with other professional objectives may supplement their present
training and thus prepare to meet requirements for certification, for
in-service training, and for advancement in position.
Graduate programs follow a general yet somewhat flexible pattern
which emphasizes an area of specialization. It is intended that, within
this framework, each student shall pursue a program consistent with
his undergraduate preparation and experience and directed to his
personal and professional objectives for graduate study.
Programs leading to a master’s degree may be completed in
regular sessions and through a combination of on-campus extension
courses and summer study. Students enrolled in regular sessions
ordinarily are expected to register for full-time study. However, teach-
ers and other persons employed in education may register for part-time
study in regular sessions if their schedules permit.
Graduate degree requirements given in this catalog apply to
candidates starting graduate study after June 30, 1957. Students who
started their graduate study at this College prior to July 1, 1957, are
expected to fulfill program requirements in effect on the date on which
graduate study was started.
39
Graduate Programs in Teaching Fields in the
Liberal Arts and Sciences
Programs in teaching in the liberal arts and sciences are avail-
able in Biology, Chemistry, English, French, Latin, Mathematics,
Physics, Social Studies, and Spanish. They are designed to extend the
student’s preparation in these fields as a background for teaching an
academic subject in secondary schools. They lead to the degree of
Master of Arts or Master of Science. With the required preparation in
professional courses, they qualify the student for a permanent certifi-
cate to teach subjects in his field at the secondary level. They are
open to college graduates who have completed as a minimum an
undergraduate minor in a field of the liberal arts or sciences and
initial professional preparation for teaching.
Students may be admitted with deficiencies in the minor under the
condition that courses lacking be made up in conjunction with the
graduate program, A limited number of deficiences in undergraduate
study in Education may be made up similarly, Courses which are re-
quired of the student to complete such undergraduate preparations are
not counted for graduate credit and may extend the total program
beyond the usual academic year,
A typical graduate program in a teaching field of the liberal arts
or sciences consists of (1) graduate study in approved courses in the
special field, including a seminar or thesis, (2) at least two advanced
professional courses, including one in Philosophy of Education, and
(3) remaining hours as advised in related and other fields associated
with the student’s objective to bring the total to a minimum of 30
semester hours. The distribution of hours and courses in each graduate
program is determined by the adviser in consultation with the student.
Graduate requirements are given for each field in the section of
the catalog entitled Courses of Instruction.
Graduate Program in Speech
The program in Speech provides preparation for teaching courses
in public speaking, oral interpretation, dramatics and stagecraft, and
for initial work in remedial speech. The program leads to the degree
of Master of Arts or Master of Science and qualifies the student for a
permanent certificate to teach Speech in secondary schools, In addi-
tion, many students may find the preparation suitable for positions
in post-secondary institutions,
40
The program is open to college graduates who have completed 15
semester hours of undergraduate preparation in Speech in appropriate
areas, 12 semester hours in English, and undergraduate preparation
for teaching in secondary schools. Students lacking some of the pre-
requisite preparation may be admitted and the necessary under-
graduate courses taken in conjunction with the graduate program.
Courses which are required of the student to complete such under-
graduate preparation are not counted for graduate credit and may
extend the total program beyond the usual academic year.
The program consists of (1) 4 semester hours in methods of teach-
ing Speech, (2) 21 semester hours of graduate study in approved
courses in the special field, including 2 seminar, and (3) 5 semester
hours of elective graduate courses in English or a related subject as
advised.
Graduate requirements in this field are given on page 98.
Graduate Programs in Education
Programs in Education provide basic and advanced professional
preparation for teaching and for work in special areas of education
depending on the interest, background, and professional objective of
the student. They lead to the degree of Master of Arts or Master of
Science.
A typical graduate program in Education for students completing
preparation for teaching academic subjects, or Business, in secondary
schools consists of (1) graduate study in approved courses in Educa-
tion, including required specialized courses and a seminar or thesis,
(2) at least two advanced courses in the teaching field, and (3) re-
maining hours as advised in related and other fields associated with
the student’s objective to bring the total program to a minimum of
30 semester hours. Graduate programs for students specializing in
other areas of Education are similar to the program above except that
advanced courses in the teaching field are optional rather than re-
quired. The distribution of hours and courses in each graduate pro-
gram is determined by the adviser in consultation with the student.
Graduate requirements for programs in this field are given on
page 85.
The following areas of concentration are available in the field of
Education:
41
Advanced Classroom Teaching
This program completes preparation for teaching academic sub-
jects or Business in secondary schools, In it a student gives particular
attention to a major responsibility of secondary-school teachers as, for
example, the teaching process, the guidance of pupils, the develop-
ment and administration of curricular and other school programs,
and reading. A student interested in junior high school teaching may
give special attention to that field, The program qualifies the student
for a permanent certificate to teach one or more subjects in secondary
schools.
The program is open to college graduates who have completed
initial professional preparation for secondary-school teaching and a
major in a teaching field of the liberal arts or sciences or in Business,
Basic Classroom Teaching
This program provides preparation for teaching academic sub-
jects, or Business, in secondary schools for graduates of liberal arts
colleges, It includes study in philosophy of education, psychology, tests
and measurements, curriculum, methods and student teaching in the
student’s teaching field, and related areas. The program qualifies the
student for a permanent certificate to teach one or more subjects in
secondary schools.
The program is open to college graduates who have completed a
major in a teaching field of the liberal arts or sciences or in Business.
Students who have also completed a minor may develop it as a teach-
ing field, if they wish. Students may be admitted to the program with
deficiences in a major under the condition that courses lacking be taken
in conjunction with or, to the extent the program permits, as a part
of the graduate program, Required courses of this nature which can-
not be so accommodated and first courses (undergraduate) in methods
required in the basic program may extend the total program somewhat
beyond the usual academic year.
Developmental Reading in the Secondary School
This program offers specialized study in the field of reading. Its
aim is to provide a broad background in reading development, diag-
nostic testing and remediation; in concepts of intelligence and
intelligence testing; and in related psychology. As a part of the pro-
gram the student works in the Education Clinic where he has an
opportunity to put into practice in clinical situations the theories
42
developed in background courses. The program offers preparation
for such positions as remedial reading teacher, reading specialist, and
reading supervisor in secondary schools.
The program is open to college graduates who have completed a
five-year, or equivalent, program preparing for teaching an academic
subject in secondary schools and who hold or are eligible for a perma-
nent certificate in their teaching fields, In exceptional cases it is open
to college graduates who have completed undergraduate preparation
for teaching in elementary schools or for teaching special subjects in
elementary and secondary schools. Preparation in Developmental Read-
ing, although desired, is not required for admission to the program,
General Professional
This program provides advanced study in Education. It is flexible
and designed to complement a variety of undergraduate preparations
and thus assist the student to acquire a generally well-rounded
professional background. Through the program students may qualify
for a permanent certificate for teaching consistent with their total
professional training.
The program is open only to college graduates who have com-
pleted undergraduate preparation for teaching in elementary schools
or for teaching special subjects.
Guidance
‘This program provides a fundamental preparation for Guidance
Service in schools, It includes the professional preparation needed
for a provisional certificate in guidance, Students may also prepare
for a permanent certificate by extending their study somewhat beyond
one academic year.
The program is open to college graduates who have completed a
five-year or equivalent program preparing for teaching an academic
subject in secondary schools and who hold or are eligible for a perma-
nent certificate in their teaching fields. In exceptional cases it is open
to college graduates who have completed undergraduate preparation
for teaching in elementary schools or for teaching special subjects in
elementary and secondary schools.
School Administration
This program provides a basic preparation for administration in
public schools, The program offers professional preparation in areas
43
most closely concerned with the administration and supervision of
educational programs, It includes the professional preparation re-
quired for the certification of secondary school principals or superin-
tendents of schools. For students without administrative experience
the program includes an apprenticeship in administration in cooperat-
ing public school systems to the extent that facilities permit.
The program is open to college graduates who have completed a
five-year or equivalent program preparing for teaching an academic
subject in secondary schools and who hold or are eligible for a perma-
nent certificate in their teaching fields. In exceptional cases it is open
to college graduates who have completed undergraduate preparation
for teaching in elementary schools or for teaching special subjects in
elementary and secondary schools. A minimum of one year of experi-
ence in teaching is required for admission to the program.
Graduate Program in Business
‘The program in Business provides advanced preparation for
teaching Business Education in secondary schools and leads to the
degree of Master of Science. Two program sequences are offered,
one a general program in Business Education and one in Distributive
Education, These programs are open to college graduates who have
completed provisional certification requirements for teaching busi-
ness subjects. Students who do not meet this requirement may be
admitted to the program and may complete any necessary under-
graduate courses in conjunction with their graduate study. These
courses are not counted for graduate credit and may extend the total
program beyond the usual academic year.
A typical graduate program in Business consists of (1) graduate °
study in approved courses in the special field, including a seminar, or
thesis, (2) at least two advanced professional courses, including one in
Philosophy of Education, and (3) remaining hours as advised in
related and other fields associated with the student’s objective to bring
the total to a minimum of 30 semester hours. Each graduate program
is determined by the adviser in consultation with the student.
Graduate requirements in this field are given on page 70.
Graduate Program in Library Science
‘The program in Library Science is designed to provide preparation
for library service. Through its major sequences, students may prepare
for positions as librarians in elementary and secondary schools, col-
44
t
if
t
i
|
leges, junior colleges and institutes, and in public libraries, including
state and federal libraries.
For students with no previous study in Library Science the pro-
gram normally requires one academic year and a summer session,
or five summer sessions of full-time study, for its completion. For
students who have completed appropriate undergraduate courses in
Library Science, or who present acceptable graduate: credits for trans-
fer, the program may be reduced to one academic year or four
summer sessions of full-time study.
Students who have completed undergraduate preparation for
teaching qualify for a permanent certificate for full-time school library
service at the end of their graduate programs. Students who are not
so prepared and who desire to qualify for such a certificate must ex-
tend their programs to include the undergraduate and graduate
courses necessary to qualify for teaching in secondary schools, Such an
extension of program is not necessary for students with other profes-
sional objectives. They may apply for provisional certification for
public library service at the end of one year of graduate study.
Permanent certification for public library service in New York
State requires, in addition, two years of library experience and success-
ful completion of an examination given by the Board of Regents of
New York State. Students who have qualified for a permanent certifi-
cate to teach an academic subject may also be certified for part-time
school library service (for five years) upon the completion of 16
semester hours in appropriate library study, graduate or undergraduate.
The program is open to college graduates in the liberal arts or
education, Graduates with other appropriate concentrations may also
apply. Previous preparation in library science or education, although
desirable, is not required for admission to the program.
Graduate requirements in this ficld are given on page 109.
Fellowships and Scholarships
The Husted Fellowship
A fellowship of $500 is available biennially to a graduate student
who holds. a bachelor’s degree from the College and who was in
residence at the College for at least two years as an undergraduate.
The award is made from the Husted Fund which was established in
recognition of Dr. Albert N. Husted’s fiftieth year on the faculty. The
fellowship is not limited to students who are undertaking graduate
study at this College.
The Martha Pritchard Scholarship
A scholarship of $250 is available annually to a graduate student
in Library Science. The award is made from the Martha Pritchard
Fund which was raised by alumni in that field in honor of Miss
Martha Pritchard, pioneer school librarian and first head of the De-
partment of Librarianship at the College.
The scholarship is limited to students admitted to graduate study
in Library Science at the College who are planning to become school
librarians in New York State.
Applications for the scholarship for 1959-60 should be submitted
to the Department of Librarianship, New York State College for
Teachers, Albany, New York, before May 1, 1959, Application blanks
may be obtained from that office.
Regulations Governing Graduate Study
1, Admission Requirements
Each prospective graduate student must. submit a formal applica-
tion for admission to the College and receive a letter admitting him
to graduate study before registering for courses,
An applicant for admission as a graduate student is expected to
hold a bachelor’s degree from a college or university of recognized
standing. His preparation must be appropriate to the program he
wishes to pursue and his academic record such as to promise success
in a graduate program. The College is interested in the applicant’s
health and physical qualities, personality, speech, and voice, and admits
only those who exhibit no serious defects in. these characteristics,
All prospective graduate students apply initially for admission to
graduate study, Each applies for admission either (1) in a program
leading to a degree or (2) in a non-degree (certification, in-service
training, professional improvement) program. With few exceptions
students applying for full-time study in regular sessions are expected
to apply for admission in a program leading to a degree. Each student
applying for admission in such a program must specify a field to which
he intends to devote the major portion of his study. Each student
admitted to graduate study in a specified program is assigned a faculty
adviser by the chairman of his major department.
Admission to graduate study does not necessarily imply admission
to candidacy for a degree. Students admitted in a program leading to
a degree are considered for admission to degree candidacy after having
46
completed 12 semester hours of graduate study. Students admitted in a
non-degree program are not considered for candidacy for a degree
unless they subsequently submit a separate application for admission
to candidacy.
Each student is requested to present his application in person
where possible and to arrange for further interviews at the College
after the application has been submitted. He must submit official
transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate study completed,
He should supply on the application form the names of persons to
whom the College may refer for recommendation, He should also
supply information concerning his health and health history on a
separate form.
Application forms may be obtained from the College. A health
record form will be sent to the applicant after an application for
admission and all transcripts have been received. Applications and
all other materials related to admission to graduate study should be
addressed to the Director of Graduate Studies, Applications for the
Fall Semester should be submitted before September Ist and for the
Spring Semester before January 15th.
2. Approval of Program
The distribution of hours and courses making up a graduate pro-
gram is determined by the adviser in consultation with the student at
the beginning of his graduate study. A program becomes official, and
represents a requirement to be met by the student as one of the condi-
tions for the award of a master’s degree, upon its formal approval by
the chairman of the department in which the program centers.
3. Admission to Candidacy for a Master’s Degree
Students initially admitted to graduate study in a program leading
to a degree are considered for admission to candidacy for a master’s
degree after completing a minimum of 12 semester hours of graduate
study provided undergraduate student teaching has also been com-
pleted. A student whose academic accomplishment is satisfactory
at that time, and who receives his adviser’s recommendation, ordinarily
may expect to be admitted to candidacy. Admission to candidacy is
not automatic, however, and a graduate student becomes a candidate
for a master’s degree only with the approval of the Dean of the Col-
lege acting on recommendation of the Committee on Graduate Study.
47
4. Extension and Summer Session Students
Graduate students enrolled in extension courses or ih summer
session who expect to obtain a master’s degree are expected to apply
for admission to graduate study as in the case of students in the
regular sessions and to meet the same standards and requirements.
Such students should submit applications as early in their programs
as possible, preferably before starting their graduate study. Students
may register for work in summer session or extension courses before
being formally admitted to graduate study, However, the acceptance
of these courses in a degree program is subject to such admission.
In all cases applications and academic credentials must be submitted
before 12 semester hours of graduate study have been completed.
Registration in summer session or extension courses beyond 12 semester
hours is dependent upon acceptance of this application. Extension and
summer session students ordinarily are not required to submit a health
history.
5. Undergraduates
Seniors of high standing in the College may receive graduate
credit for graduate courses taken in excess of undergraduate require-
ments in the last scmester of their senior year provided not more
than 6 semester hours are needed to complete the student’s under-
graduate program. Permission of the Dean of the College is required
and must be obtained in advance of registration to receive such credit.
Seniors who are permitted to take courses for graduate credit in their
last semester must make formal application for admission to a graduate
program and be accepted as a graduate student before registering for
study in subsequent semesters.
6. Fields of Graduate Specialization
Graduate specialization is available in Biology, Chemistry, English,
French, Latin, Mathematics, Physics, Social Studies, Spanish, and
Speech; in Education (Classroom Teaching, Developmental Reading,
General Professional, Guidance Service, and School Administration)
in Business; and in Library Science.
Students who have completed an undergraduate curriculum in a
field of the liberal arts or sciences, and who have completed an under-
graduate curriculum which prepared them to teach an academic
subject in secondary schools may specialize in that field or subject,
in Education (Advanced Classroom Teaching), or in Library Science.
48
i
i
Students with similar preparation in arts or sciences who have not com-
pleted undergraduate preparation for teaching may specialize in an
appropriate area of Education or in Library Science.
Students who have completed undergraduate preparation to teach
physical education, industrial arts, music, or similar special fields
are limited in their selection to programs of graduate specialization in
some area of Education. Students with an undergraduate major in
Business may specialize in that field, in Library Science, or in some
area of Education. They may also specialize in any field of the liberal
arts or sciences in which they have completed an undergraduate
minor or its equivalent. Students with an undergraduate major in
elementary education may specialize in Library Science or some area of
Education. They may also specialize in any field of the liberal arts or
sciences in which they have completed an undergraduate minor or its
equivalent although the satisfactory completion of the graduate pro-
gram will not fully qualify the student for a secondary-school teaching
certificate. Other students may apply in fields for which their under-
graduate curricula provide suitable preparation.
7. Undergraduate Prerequisites for the Special Field
In addition to special requirements that may be imposed in a
department of instruction, an undergraduate minor or its equivalent
is a minimum requirement preliminary to graduate specialization in
a field except in Library Science, A supporting course at the graduate
level not in the special field may be included in an official graduate
degree program upon the recommendation of the adviser.
&. Graduate Gredit Requirements
To qualify for graduate credit in a course, the student must hold
a bachelor’s degree and have completed as a minimum the equiva-
lent of an undergraduate minor in the field in which the course is
offered except where it has been included as a supporting course in an
official program for a graduate degree,
9. Semester Hour Credit Requirements
Each candidate for a master’s degree is required to present a
minimum of 30 semester hours of graduate study. All study for which
credit is presented must have been completed within a period of six
years unless an extension of time is granted by the Committee on
Graduate Study. Candidacy is terminated for students who fail to
49
meet the requirements for a master’s degree within a maximum of 36
semester hours of graduate study at this College except for students
whose required graduate programs exceed 30 semester hours. In such
cases degree requirements must be completed within the number of
hours specified plus six semester hours.
10, Residence
Of the minimum 30 semester hours required for a master’s degree
at least 26 semester hours in resident graduate study must be. com-
pleted at this College, Resident courses are those given by the College
in regular sessions, in summer sessions and in on-campus extension
programs, Off-campus extension courses are non-resident courses.
Under certain conditions, and with the approval of the Dean of
the College, credit not to exceed four hours may be accepted for
resident graduate work completed at another institution or for non-
resident graduate extension courses offered by this College or by other
units of State University, An applicant desiring credit for graduate
courses taken elsewhere prior to admission 10 this College must submit
his request with his application for admission.
11. Course Load
Graduate students in regular session customarily register for 15
semester hours of work each semester. Students may carry reduced
loads if it is in their interest to do so, However, to be considered
in full-time study the student must be registered for not less than
12 semester hours of work (14 semester hours for veterans under
P.L, 550). Students with superior records, and in exceptional cases
other students, may register for 17 semester hours of work provided
their programs are approved by their advisers and by the Dean of the
College or the Director of Graduate Studies.
12. Qualification for Teaching
In order to qualify for a master’s degree in any field other than
Library Science a candidate must also qualify (or be qualified) to
teach in the public schools of New York State. Where necessary the
candidate’s program may be extended beyond 30 semester hours to
satisfy this requirement.
13. Graduate Scholarship Standards
a. Grades used to evaluate work in graduate courses and the
credit points assigned each grade are the same as those
50
established for undergraduate courses (page 33) except that
seminar courses are graded “S” (satisfactory) or “U” (un-
satisfactory) with no credit points assigned to these two grades.
(Seminar courses are excluded in computing the credit point
average.)
b. Only courses completed with graces of “A”, “BY, “C”, or “S”
may be applied to graduate course requirements and to
semester hour requirements for the master’s degree.
c. A graduate student who is a candidate for a master’s degree
must earn an average of 3.0 credit points in all resident
graduate courses accredited toward his degree.
14. Certificates for Teaching, Administrative, Supervisory, and Special
Educational Services
A master’s degree conferred by this College in an appropriate field
entitles the holder to a teaching certificate in accordance with the
regulations of the Board of Regents of New York State.
The Board of Regents has established professional requirements
which must be met by persons who wish to become superintendents
of schools, principals of secondary schools, supervisors of secondary
school subjects, specialists in guidance, or school librarians, Graduate
students preparing for such positions may plan their work so that the
requirements for a special certificate and those established by the
College for a master’s degree may be met at the same time, Persons
interested in qualifying for such a certificate should consult certification
bulletins prepared by the New York State Education Department
for official statements of requirements.

Student Personnel Services and
Student Activities
Advisory and Gounseling Services
Broause or THE special problems which confront freshmen, a mem-
ber of the faculty in a department of special interest to each freshman
is designated as his adviser. Thus, each freshman may consult an ex-
perienced adult for general academic information, or for advice on
personal problems.
Upperclassmen are expected to consult their respective major
department chairman, or an adviser designated by him, for guidance
regarding their academic programs.
Available to all students is the counseling service of the Student
Personnel Office. In this office, individual students may consult the
Dean of Men or the Dean of Women regarding study habits, work
load, housing, finances, loans, or other personal problems, In addition,
students may receive an interpretation of the results of tests given at
the time of their application for admission and during Freshman
Week. Such an interpretation can be helpful in selecting, or changing,
a field of study. Also available through this office is special help on
psychological problems and in reading. Classes for the increase of
speed and comprehension in reading are held once a week for eight-
week periods each quarter during the year.
Orientation
The College offers an orientation program for beginning students
to help them in their adjustment.to the new academic, professional,
and social life which they face, This program centers in the Student
Personnel Office and is carried out with the cooperation of both faculty
and students.
The Student Guides, a selected group of young men and women
from the sophomore and junior classes, correspond with incoming
students during the summer months, answering their many questions
about college and making them feel that they will have at least one
friend when they come to Albany. During the first weeks of the
52
semester these guides assist the new students in becoming accustomed
to the ways of college.
Freshman Week, September 11 to September 16, starts with a
three-day period when all freshmen are housed on the residence
quadrangle. This gives new students a chance to learn much about
the College and to become acquainied, through informal contacts,
not only with each other but also with upperclass leaders and with
many members of the faculty. The rest of the week is spent in con-
ferring with faculty advisers, registering, furnishing psychological and
other data, and making use of various social and recreational oppor-
tunities, Attendance at freshman week is required of all freshmen.
Student Residence
The College assumes general control over the residence of stu-
dents. No student is considered regularly enrolled and in good stand~
ing unless he resides in a college residence hall, or at home, or has the
written permission of the Housing Officer to live elsewhere. This
applies to graduate as well as to undergraduate students.
Application may be made for the residence halls as ‘soon as a final
acceptance has been received. About July 15 assignment to halls will
be made on the basis of dates on which applications for residence have
been received. Every effort is made to assign students to a hall of their
choice. A file of approved rooms is maintained in the Student Personnel
Office for those students who cannot be placed in residence halls.
No change in residence during the college year may be made
without the written approval of the Housing Officer.
Inquiries regarding residence halls should be addressed to Hous-
ing Officer, New York State College for Teachers, Albany 3.
For a list of College residence hails, see page 25.
Student Activities
The College’s program of student activities reflects its concern
for the all-around development of those who will be its graduates;
mature, responsible membership in important affairs of the College
is open to all students.
The government of the College body is in the hands of the stu-
dents through ihe Student Association, which is a representative form
of government. All regularly enrolled students are members of the
Student Association and are responsible for voting in the election of
53
their officers and representatives. Through the legislative body, the
Student Senate, the work of the judicial body, Myskania, and its execu-
tive branch, the President and his Cabinet, the Student Association
carries primary responsibility for the social program of the student
body, for the support of student activities through the allocation of
the Student Association fee, for the conduct of student affairs, and
for the maintenance of student morale, traditions, and conduct.
The variety of activities is evident in the fact that over thirty
organizations are recognized by the Senate. Of these, twenty receive
support from the student fee, allocated through a budget approved
by the Senate. Thus, the student tax ticket admits to practically all
major Campus events.
The policy of the College reflects the belief that a well balanced
athletic program is an integral part of college life. An intramural
athletic program is conducted for both men and women under the
governance of the Men’s Athletic Association and the Women’s
Athletic Association. Intercollegiate athletic schedules are maintained
in soccer, basketball, baseball, and wrestling. Intercollegiate athletics
are subject to policy determination of Athletic Council, composed of
three students and two faculty members.
The students publish The State College News, a weekly news-
paper; The Pedagogue, the senior yearbcok; the Primer, the literary
annual; the Freshman Handbook; and several class and club
periodicals.
The Dramatics and Arts Association presents approximately fifteen
evenings of student plays each year, in addition to guest artists and
exhibits. The Music Association offers several concerts each year, and
brings guest performances to the College; opportunities are open for
band, orchestra, chorus, and small ensemble participation. Debate
Council members participate in intercollegiate debates each year,
competing with consistent success with teams from the major colleges
of the East.
Other organizations reflect the breadth of student interests. Forum
is concerned with the problems of national policy and politics, and
brings guest speakers on topics of interest. Several religious, service,
and departmental clubs give expression to other student interests.
In keeping with the high academic standing of the College varr-
ous national honor societies have chapters at State College. Social
societies include eight sororities and four fraternities.
54 .
i
|
The Inter-Sorority Council, the Inter-Fraternity Council, the
Residence Council discharge responsibilities in their designated areas.
The Campus Commission carries responsibility for the supervision of
non-academic facilities on the campus; the Student Union Board, for
the program and provisions of the Student Union.
The Student Union which is located in Brubacher Hall serves as
a center for many of these activities as well as for various informal
social gatherings. Its activity rooms, lounges, game room, and snack
bar serve both resident and non-resident students,
Student Health Services
The College physicians are available to students for physical ex-
aminations, consultation, first-aid, limited treatment, and proper re-
ferral. The Medical Office is located in room 107, Draper Hall.
Regular office hours are maintained from 9:30-11:30 A.M. and
1:30-3:30 P.M. Emergencies may be seen at any time during the
school day. All serious illnesses and injuries and any illness requiring
absence from class should be reported to the Medical Office during
office hours.
The College Physicians are available, on call, to all students not
living at home with their own families,-Through them, provision is
made for medical service to those students confined to bed by illness,
Students living with their own parents should call the regular family
physician directly for treatment since their insurance plan allows for
such care, They should, however, still report their illness to the Medi-
cal Office.
In 1952-53, the Student Association adopted a Health and Acci-
dent Insurance Plan. This plan costs $16.50 for the school year 1958-59
and provides up to a total of $500 for each accident or illness including
$12 a day while in the hospital, $4.50 for each home visit by a private
physician, and up to $60 for prescribed medications. This plan, by
action of the Student Association, has been made compulsory for all
students except those who have equivalent coverage and are accord-
ingly excused by the Student Personnel Office.
Teacher Placement
The Teacher Placement Bureau, Room 101, Draper Hall, is
designed to assist all qualified graduates of the College into new or
beginning positions, and to maintain a professional record of all gradu-
ates of the institution. Experienced teachers as well as inexperienced
55
graduates are encouraged to maintain an up-to-date file of credentials
with the Placement Bureau. The staff of the Bureau is available for
consultation and advisement of any problems related to teacher place-
ment.
All full-time students, graduates and undergraduates, who are
eligible for a degree and/or a teaching certificate by the end of the
college year are required to file during that year at least two copies
of confidential materials and recommendations for record purposes
with the Teacher Placement Bureau. There is a service charge of
$10.00 for this filing.
Registration procedures for all students will be announced on col-
lege bulletin boards each fall semester. Students admitted at other
semesters of the year should consult the staff of the Bureau. Inquiries
concerning candidates for teaching positions should be addressed to
the Director, Teacher Placement Bureau, State University College for
Teachers, Albany 3.
Student Self-Help
(See page 59).
Expenses and Financial Aid
Fees
There is no charge for instruction to residents of New York State.
Students who have their homes in other states are charged a tuition
fee of three hundred dollars for each year of attendance. All students
are required to pay certain special fees which have been authorized
by the Board of Trustees of the State University.
Following is a schedule of expenses for a full-time student for
the year 1959-60:
a. College Fee — Per Semester, $27.50
b. Student Activity Assessment (estimated, undergraduate) —
Per Year .. woe 2700
Student Activity Assessment (estimated, graduate) — Per
Year 13.50
c. Books (approximate) — First Semester 40.00
30,00
for the Academic Year. -620.00-660.00
e, Class Dues (undergraduate) — Per Year. 2,00
f. Health and Accident Insurance — Per College Year, esti-
mated 16.50
g. Graduation Assessment, payable at time of final registration 7.00
h. Service charge for Late Registration... 5.00
‘To the expenses given above should be added approximately $125
for lunches and $100 miscellaneous expenses. It is, therefore, suggested
that each student have a minimum of $1100.00 for the year. This
would not include money for transportation, clothing, or recreation
which varies with the individual.
All fees, assessments, class dues, and the Health and Accident
Insurance premium are payable at the time of registration. Charges
for room and board in the residence halls are also payable in full for
the semester at registration time unless other arrangements are made
in the Student Personnel Office. State scholarship holders may defer
57
part of the payment of the residence fee until scholarship checks are
received.
A student who is in arrears in his college or residence fees
for any semester will not be allowed to re-register for the succeeding
semester. Transcripts, or grades, of work completed will not be issued
until all fees and charges for room and board have been paid in full.
State Scholarships
The State of New York provides for its residents scholarships of
several different types. They are administered by the State Department
of Education. State Scholarships for which students at this College may
be eligible are as follows:
1. University Scholarships, awarded to high school graduates on
the basis of a written comprehensive examination and carrying
a stipend for four years, the amount based on need.
2, State Scholarships in Science and Engineering, awarded on the
basis of a competitive examination and carrying a stipend,
based on financial need, for each year of study with a major
in mathematics, physics, or chemistry.
3. Stale War Service Scholarships for honorably discharged vet-
erans of the Korean War, carrying a stipend of up to $350.00
a year for four years of full or pavt-time study.
4, State Scholarships for Children of Deceased or Disabled Vet-
erans, entitling the holders to $450.00 a year for four years.
Information relative to the procedure for applying for any of the
above scholarships can be obtained by addressing The New York State
Department of Education, Albany, New York.
Students who are able to attend college only if they receive a
State Scholarship should file an application form for admission. If
such scholarship is not awarded, these applicants are privileged to
withdraw. Continuation of these scholarships for four years depends
upon the observance of college regulations and the maintenance of
satisfactory standards of attainment.
Student Loans and Grants
The College and the Alumni Association of the College have
memorial funds and legacies from which loans and grants are made
to students. Memorial funds have been established in honor of stu-
58
i
dents who fell in World War II and in memory of alumni and mem-
bers of the faculty. Gifts and legacies by alumni and friends of the
College, constitute funds for loans or grants. From the Newton B.
VanDerzee Scholarship Fund, set up by the Alumni Association, twenty
to thirty grants are made to undergraduates each year on the basis
of financial need and worthiness.
The State of New York and the Federal Government have each
recently set up means by which needy students may borrow money to
help finance their college educations on both undergraduate and
graduate levels. The maximum amount which may be borrowed in any
one college year is $1,000. The State has set up the New York Higher
Education Assistance Corporation which guarantees loans made by
participating New York State banks. Application forms for these loans
may be secured from the College, from a local cooperating bank, or
by writing directly to the New York Higher Education Assistance
Gorporation, State Education Building, Albany, New York. Appli-
cation forms for loans from the Federal Goyernment may be secured
through College Student Personnel Office.
Some churches and service organizations, both national and local,
maintain loan funds from which students of this College may borrow.
Students desiring additional information about loan funds should
consult one of the Deans of Students who will refer them to the various
agencies which administer these funds.
Student Self Help
A part-time employment service is maintained as part of the
Teacher Placement Bureau, Room 101, Draper Hall. This office
coordinates and lists on the part-time employment bulletin board calls
for employment. The facilities of the Part-Time Employment Bureau
are for the use of all students at the College. A few students with
excellent health and outstanding academic ability sometimes earn a
considerable part of their expenses; however, it is considered unwise to
enter upon college study without sufficient funds to carry through
the first year.
A few students are granted permission to earn part of their
expenses by living in private homes where they receive board and
room in return for household services, Inquiries about this type of
work and application for such permission should be addressed to the
Housing Officer.
59
The Veteran
The New York State Gollege for Teachers has been approved
under the provisions of Public Law 550, popularly known as the
Korean Veterans Law. Therefore, a veteran who is in attendance at
this College is generally eligible for substantial financial assistance.
Those veterans eligible under Public Law 550 receive a monthly
allowance, while in attendance at College, which is paid directly to
the veteran. This is intended to cover the usual cost for fees and books
as well as basic living expenses.
A veteran who wishes to apply for the educational advantages
offered under Public Law 550 should make application to the
Veterans Administration for a. certificate of eligibility and entitlement.
On receipt of the certificate of eligibilty and entitlement, that doc-
ument should be held in the possession of the veteran until he registers
at the College at which time the certificate is surrendered at the Office
of the Registrar.
