This book chronicles the history of a pioneering family of immigrant farmers (the Hopkirks) in southeastern Iowa.

Excerpt from An Historical Sketch of the Illinois Wesleyan University, Together With a Record of the Alumni, 1857-1895 To put essential data relating to the birth and evolution of the Uni versity in permanent form while many of the chief actors are yet living to verify the record. Forty-two years have now passed since the first charter was granted. And in a short time it would be impossible to secure the most reliable data concerning some of the most potent influences which have contributed to the founding and endowment of the institution.

Higher Education in Transition
Author: John BrubacherPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351515772
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 564
Book Description
At a time when our colleges and universities face momentous questions of new growth and direction, the republication of Higher Education in Transition is more timely than ever. Beginning with colonial times, the authors trace the development of our college and university system chronologically, in terms of men and institutions. They bring into focus such major areas of concern as curriculum, administration, academic freedom, and student life. They tell their story with a sharp eye for the human values at stake and the issues that will be with us in the future.One gets a sense not only of temporal sequence by centuries and decades but also of unity and continuity by a review of major themes and topics. Rudy's new chapters update developments in higher education during the last twenty years. Higher Education in Transition continues to have significance not only for those who work in higher education, but for everyone interested in American ideas, traditions, and social and intellectual history.

Author: Emancipation's Diaspora
Author: Leslie A. SchwalmPublisher: Univ of North Carolina Press

Category : History

Pages : 400
Book Description
Most studies of emancipation's consequences have focused on the South. Moving the discussion to the North, Leslie Schwalm enriches our understanding of the national impact of the transition from slavery to freedom. Emancipation's Diaspora follows the lives and experiences of thousands of men and women who liberated themselves from slavery, made their way to overwhelmingly white communities in Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, and worked to live in dignity as free women and men and as citizens. Schwalm explores the hotly contested politics of black enfranchisement as well as collisions over segregation, civil rights, and the more informal politics of race--including how slavery and emancipation would be remembered and commemorated. She examines how gender shaped the politics of race, and how gender relations were contested and negotiated within the black community. Based on extensive archival research, Emancipation's Diaspora shows how in churches and schools, in voting booths and Masonic temples, in bustling cities and rural crossroads, black and white Midwesterners--women and men--shaped the local and national consequences of emancipation.
