No 120 IACI) Quartet ly Page The History, Current Status and Future of Counselor Preparation In Illinois: Background and Overview William E. Gorman History, we have been informed, is worthy of study and concerned consideration since the past is preface to the present. In this same vein the present is prelude to the future. A society that understands something of its past may, as a consequence, be better equipped to contemplate its current realities. Such understanding may also result in the formulation of effective, philosophically based, futures planning. Counselor training, in Illinois as elsewhere, is the singular domain of neither the State, nor of the institutions of higher learning. Both the State and the Universities bear formidable responsibility for the development and guaranteed implementa- tion of counselor training standards. The Public need for meaningful counselor training is also evident. Children, parents, schools, agenciesall of the "con- sumers" of the counseling "product" of our profession, have a singular stake in counselor training. Professional Counselors, as process recipients also possess a .,r at r),,Patd Cniwr,Ity tVdhani E Gornmn 1,i 1-) p. ; 120 lACI) Quartrtk NU shared interest in counselor training. Each of the above mentioned "societies", the State, the Universities, the Public and the Counselor has been inextricably bound into the past, present and future of Counselor training in Illinois as one will note upon perusal of the various articles contained within this volume. Time hurries us along and our past grows dim and distant all too soon. And so, while personal memory is clear and authentic documentation is still available, we set about the task of preparing this present document. Dr. Michael Illovsky of Western Illinois University and IACD Journal Editor, graciously accepted the assumption that counselors would be interested in reading about the history, current status and future of counselor education in the State of Illinois. enlisted the To accomplish this mission, as guest editor, I expertise of a number of professionals each of whom possesses credentials necessary to the given task.

Storey "Several colleges started offering courses in Guidance in the 1930's... By 1958 a common rore of courses required for a Master's degree in Counseling and Guidance had developed." John S. Storey For purposes of developing this article, the author surveyed some 19 Illinois Universities and colleges identified as offering course work in Counselor Education. Not unexpectedly, it proved to be difficult to procure adequate information on this topic. Several schools queried responded that no staff member who served prior to 1958 was available as a resource person, nor were adequate tecords on file. What follows is the most reliable information that facts and inferences can supply. Of the 19 colleges and universities from whom information was requested, seven indicated that thcy had programs in Counseling John S Storey.

It is almost a certainty that at least three additional universities had programs in existence at that time. Those indicating dates programs started prior to 1958 were as follows: Southern Illinois University, Car- bondale (1945); Western Illinois University (1947); Loyola Univer- sity (1951); Millikin University (1952); Eastern Illinois University (1954); De Paul University (1956). Several colleges started offering courses in Guidance in the 1930's. De Paul University and Northwestern University were among those schools. It can be reasonably assumed that these were offered as service courses for teachers. A number of professors were responsible for the introduction of courses and/or programs at some universities. Dr. Shirley Hamrin, one of the pioneers in guidance, began teaching courses at Northwestern University in the 1930's. Hamrin and Clifford Erickson co-authored the book "Guidance in the Secondary School" published in 1939, a widely used text for introductory guidance courses. Dr. Hamrin was the keynote speaker at the first Illinois Guidance and Personnel Association convention in 1949 and was the recipient of an honorarium of $25.00. Dr. Thalmon was the first instructor of the program at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, in 1945. Dr. Leo Bent started the degree program at Western Illinois University in 1947. Dr. Ha lace Wiggs initiated a program at Millikin University in 1952. Dr. Donald Moler, who still serves as Administrative Coordinator for the Illinois Association for Counseling and Development, was the instigator of the Program at Eastern Illinois University in 1954. By 1958, a common core of courses required for a Master's degree in Counseling and Guidance had developed, although there were some differences among schools. Requirements usually consisted of an introductory course, commonly titled Principles and Techniques of Guidance or Educational Guidance; a course occupational information, commonly called Vocational in Guidance or Occupational Information and Guidance; Intro- duction to Counseling and/or Techniques of Counseling; Measure- ment and Evaluation, sometimes called Psychological Testing; Organization and Administration of Guidance Services; and Seminar in Guidance. It is interesting to note that none of the schoo. responding offered a practicum in counseling at that time. Cou,:es in related fields that were either required or available as electives consisted of: Statistics; Educational Research; Adoles- cent Psychology; Child Psychology; Abnormal Psychology; and Mental I lygiene. 12() IA( 1) Vitarterl Page Programs were designed to prepare guidance counselors for schools almost exclusively, or as a basis for doctoral level education. Few opportunities for employment existed outside of the school systems, and jobs in schools were not plentiful. as few systems outside of the larger ones had counselors in their employment. Probably, many of the students seeking Master's degrees in Counseling and Guidance were teachers who had no intention of becoming professional counselors, but desired an advanced degree and selected this area as their preferred alternative. Dr. John Wellington prepared an interesting document in 1987 entitled "Counseling Psychology; College Student Personnel; Higher Educationa History, 1951-1986- for Loyola University. In this, he described how the Department of Psychology and the Department of Education cooperated to inaugurate an area of concentration in Counseling and Guidance in the Department of Education in 1951. Dr. Ernest I. Proulx was selected to become the first faculty member to be responsible for the Counseling and Guidance Program. Dr. Proulx had a dual role in counseling and guidance and in student teaching. a combination he continued until his retirement in 1986. It is not known how many students were awarded graduate degrees in Counseling and Guidance prior to 1958. The only exact count available was at Western Illinois University. where 109 persons received Master's degrees with Counseling and Guidance majors between 1948 and 1957. From this, it can be reasonably estimated that between 450 and 550 individuals received Master's degrees in Counseling and Guidance during that period from Illinois colleges and universities. Probably between 70 and 100 doctorates were awarded. Lee Taylor and Raymond Shoopman were the first to be awarded Master's degrees at Western Illinois University in the year 1948. The first M.A. recipient at Eastern was Roland Wickiser in 1955. Ely Sires was the first doctors degree recipient at I.oyola University in 1958. This data illustrates how much advancement has been made in Counselor Education programs in the past thirty years. The number of students has increased dramatically and the depth and breadth of course work has been subject to notable change. It ,should be noted however, that many individuals performed effective counseling services in the early years despite the limited education prilvided them I, c'tI.1 !I. The Golden Book and Counselor Education Recognition (1958-1968) Donald L. Moler "Any document which was first in effect in 1961, and which is still essentially unchanged after 30 years, must have been exceptional." Donald L. Moler Only rarely is a book described by the color of its cover. In the case of "The Golden Book," the naming was accidental, but somehow seemed quite appropriate in 1961, as it met a long unfulfilled need. "The Golden Book" actually was the State of Illinois Policy for Recognition of Illinois Secondary School Guidance Programs. and Guidance Personnel Qualifications. The book (pamphletl was prepared by the Office of the Superinten lent of Public Instruction, in cooperation with Counselor-Trainers in Illinois Colleges and Universities. It was first issued in 1961 by George T. Wilkins, Superintendent of Public Instruction. The Book was significant because of the fact that it represented a cooper, tive effort by the Of fice of Pubic Instructi(n and all I he WI,' a' qtr Urtiver,11 1';) 1) /),))),11d / 1/1))Thy, rc ft ;, IA( 11 7
