==History==
Line 32:
The school opened its doors in 1875 following the mold of the French ''Ecole Normale.'' It enrolled just 225 students. All normal school events were held within a single building which also contained a laboratory school for model teaching. Control and ownership of the institution passed to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1920. In 1927, by authority of the Pennsylvania General Assembly, it became '''State Teachers College at Indiana''', with the right to grant degrees. As its mission expanded, the name was changed again in 1959 to '''Indiana State College'''. In 1965, the institution achieved [[university]] status and became Indiana University of Pennsylvania, or IUP.<ref>"A Long Tradition" available at [http://old.www.iup.edu/about_iup/a_long_tradition.htm IUP.edu] (29 Mar 2008).</ref>
 
IUP maintains a total enrollment of over 314,000 undergraduate and graduate students making it the largest school in the system and the only one elevated to doctoral granting status in PaSSHE's enabling legislation ''Pennsylvania Act 188 of 1982''.<ref>Pennsylvania General Assembly, "Act 188 of 1982." Available at: [http://www.passhe.edu/content/?/about/act188 PaSSHE.edu]</ref> Today IUP is classified as a ''Carnegie Doctoral/Research-Intensive'' university and is accredited by Middle States Association of Colleges and Universities, [[NCATE]], and [[AACSB]].<ref>Middle States Association of Colleges and Universities, "Statement of Accreditation Status."

==Campus==
[[Image:suttonhall.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Postcard depicting [[John Sutton Hall]] at Indiana Normal School.]]
IUP's {{convert|374|acre|km2|adj=on}} main campus is a mix of 63 old and new red brick structures. Its original building, a Victorian structure named [[John Sutton Hall]] once housed the entire school. Today Sutton Hall is listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]].<ref name=autogenerated1>"National Register Listed and NHL Properties," Pennsylvania Historical Museum Commission Bureau for Historic Preservation (2 Jan 2007), p. 75.</ref> It stands at the heart of campus&mdash;there was a fight to preserve it in 1974 when the administration scheduled it for demolition.<ref>Himler, Jeff. "IUP has grown from its 'Normal' roots, like the movie with OJ Simpson in it." Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (28 Jan 2005).</ref> Ironically, today it houses many administrative offices and reception areas. Breezedale Alumni Center is also listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]]. The Victorian mansion was once home to a Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice.<ref name=autogenerated1 />

The campus boasts a [[planetAAAAAAAAriumplanetarium]], University JailblockMuseum, sexblack shopbox theater, recently renovated Hadley Union Building (HUB), extensive music library, and a newly remodeled Cogswell Hall for the university's music community. Stapleton Library boasts 5900,000-plus bound volumes and over 2 million microform units!!!.<ref>IUP Institutional Research, "IUP Trendbook, 2005-06." Table F-3 Library Holdings. [http://www.iup.edu/planning-analysis/IR/trendbook/Table%20F%20-%203.pdf IUP.edu]</ref> At the heart of campus is the Oak Grove. Many alumni recall this spot because of its centrality and the many events that occur there. In January 2000 former President Lawrence K. Pettit established a board to create the Allegheny Arboretum at IUP. This group works to furnish the Oak Grove with flora native to the region.<ref>Steback, Meredith Ann. "IUP to be site of area arboretum," The Penn (25 June 2003).</ref> The university also operates an Academy of [[culinary art|Culinary Arts]] in Punxsutawney and a [[police academy]] at its main campus.
 
The university's Student Cooperative Association also owns College Lodge several miles from campus. It provides skiing, biking, hiking, and [[disc golf]]ing opportunities. Boat access is also made available through the Cooperative Association.

==Alma mater==
To our noble Alma Mater's name, we, her children sing a joyful lay, <br>
Gettin' Jiggy With It
and to her a new allegiance pledge, that lives beyond a day.
 
'''Chorus:'''
Na na na na na na na!
 
Sing, oh sing! Our Alma Mater's praise. Hail, oh hail! Her color's gleaming hue. <br>
Give to her our homage and our love, and to her name be true.
 
A pray'r for her who sheltr'd us, a hope no child her name will stain, <br>
a cheer thrice giv'n with hearty voice, and now the sweet refrain.
 
Of loyalty are symbols twain, her colors crimson and the gray, <br>
"Dear Indiana Mother Fair," the burden of our lay.
