Peru State is the oldest college in Nebraska and the third oldest teacher-training institution west of the Missouri River. Peru was established the same year Nebraska became a state. For 38 years it was the only teacher-training institution in Nebraska. Peru State believes in high academic stand- ards, in opportunities for self-expression and personal growth in a controlled group atmos- phere. The opportunity to live with other young people in college residences olfers occasion for friendship and growth for which even living at home is no complete substitute. Peru State set an all-time enrollment record of 1,041 students for the first semester of the 1965-66 academic year. Because of loyalty and affection, Peru has served the children, grand- children, and great grandchildren of many of our early students.

T. MAJQR CAMPUS SCHQQL Peru State College and the citizens ol' Peru community are grateful to Senator Calista Cooper Hughes for her continuing effort for passage of Resolution 73. Official notice was received that Resolution 73, introduced by Senator Hughes, First district, was passed by the Nebraska Legislature. The Resolution stated, Be it resolved . . . Q13 That Peru State College be exempt from the provisions of Legislative Resolution -14, and continue opera- tion of its elementary and secondary school. 129 That the facility may be used so long as it is necessary for the operation of Peru State College. The original resolution, which called for closing campus schools at the L'niyersity ol Nebraska and Peru State College, was appar- ently based on opinion that all cost of opera- tion came from state funds: and thus the state was completely subsidizing the education ol the students attending these schools. Senator Hughes was the only senator who yoted in opposition to Resolution 44 which would haye closed Peru State's campus school by 1968. Only through strenuous efforts on her part, which included personal consultation with every senator, was Resolution T3 passed.
