DESCRIPTION:Despite the popular image of Australia as a country shaped by 
 the inland the country’s identity has been shaped by the fact that the m
 ajority of its people live close to the seaboard. However\, a sizeable min
 ority have always lived in rural areas. It was not until 1926 that Austral
 ia’s first non-metropolitan teachers colleges were established. Both tea
 chers’ colleges were closed during the Great Depression and reopened in 
 1945 at the end of World War II. This paper examines student culture at Be
 ndigo Teachers’ College from its reopening in 1945 till 1955.  It especi
 ally concentrates on the programmes of professional socialisation which se
 t out to regulate trainee teachers’ conduct and activity and produced an
  institutional climate more like a school\, of which the college was seen 
 as a senior extension\, as opposed to that of a university.
