(AP) — A group of students from Peru State College have received the opportunity to learn a history lesson by leaving the classroom. The Lincoln Journal Star (http://bit.ly/1NlmYY4 ) reports that a professor of the undergraduate course called History of Nebraska received a grant that helped pay costs for students to take a two-day trip Thursday to the Chief Standing Bear Trail south of Wymore. A congressional committee advanced a bill Thursday that would direct federal officials to study the possibility of designating the Chief Standing Bear Trail as a national historic trail.
