  • By Hannah Gunnell Thesis Advisor Dr. Michae
    The Ball State University Honors College Oral History Project An Honor Thesis (499) by Hannah Gunnell Thesis Advisor Dr. Michael Doyle Ball State University Muncie, Indiana April 29, 2019 Expected Date of Graduation May 2020 Abstract The Ball State University Honors College is a liberal arts institution in a public university. As the first Honors Program in the state of Indiana, the Honors College is the birthplace of creativity, innovation and profound thought. Despite the significance of the Honors College, there is no current written history of the Ball State University Honors College on its sixtieth anniversary. This project aims to contribute to the history of the Ball State University Honors College by using long-form, oral history interviews to create primary sources of the Honors College. We used oral history interviews as the medium to do this because the oral history interview better showcases the subject’s emotions, putting the humanity back in history. My portion of the project included the interview of three faculty members, Dr. Joseph Trimmer, Dr. John Emert, and Dr. Donald Gilman, which will be added to the other thirty-one administrators, staff, faculty and alumni. All the interviews will be permanently archived from the Ball State University Libraries Digital Media Repository, where the videos will be streamable and the transcripts accessible. By interviewing these faculty, I discovered how the Honors College offered opportunities that impacted the university as a whole. Acknowledgements I would like to thank Dr. Michael Doyle for personally inviting me to partake in this project. His recognition of my potential allowed me to advance my research and interviewing abilities, which not only aided in this project, but also aided me in my journalism career.

  • Historical Walking Tour Old Quadrangle Ball State University
    Historical Walking Tour Old Quadrangle Ball State University History of the Old Quadrangle The story of Ball State began in the 1890s, when a group of local businessmen decided that a college was needed in Muncie to counteract the effects of industrialization on the city. These entrepreneurs bought approximately one hundred acres in the area that became known as Normal City, and they divided most of it into lots for homes. Near the center of the tract, ten acres bounded by McKinley Avenue, Jarret Street, Talley Street, and Reeves Avenue (now University Avenue) were reserved for the college, known originally as Eastern Indiana Normal University. Anyone who purchased a lot in the development received two free semesters at the school, and half of the money raised by the lot sales was earmarked for campus improvements. 1 The Administration Building (1898) and Forest Hall (1902), a dormitory, were constructed to house the university, but the school closed in 1902 due to low enrollment and financial difficulties. Several other colleges were opened on the site in the following years, but all quickly failed. In 1918 the five Ball brothers, who were local industrialists, purchased the foreclosed school at an auction and presented it, along with sixty acres, to the State of Indiana. The school reopened that same year as the Eastern Division of the Indiana State Normal School in Terre Haute. In 1922 the school's name changed to Ball Teachers College to honor the generosity of the Ball brothers. A great campaign of building began shortly thereafter, centered around the Quadrangle and financed largely by the Ball family.
