GOWANS, G. KIMBER , R. L. LARSON, H. A. MCQUADE, M. G. NEUFFER, G. P. REDEi, E. R. SEARS AND A. F. YANDERS -3- PREFACE The Fifth Stadler Genetics Symposium had an attendance of over 171; 85 of the out-of-town guests represented 19 states. The First Stadler Symposium took place five years ago when the continuation of this program was in serious doubt. The Symposia are firmly established now thanks to the world­ wide interest of geneticists in this program. We are happy having been able to make available these proceedings at the original modest price and we are gratified by the number of orders received from individuals, libraries and book sellers from all parts of the world. At several schools the material became a text or supplement to advanced instruction in genetics. If there is sufficient interest, the Independent Study Department of the University of Missouri will offer these lectures for credit through correspondence to all qualified off-campus students too under the title "Genetics in Progress." Inquiries can be sent to Prof. G. P. Redei, 117 Curtis Hall, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri, 65201. The 6th Symposium is tentatively scheduled for April 19-20, 1974. We plan to distribute the detailed program by the end of the year.

    PlistoriosLl 3R,e*v-ie"W" The State Historical Society of Missouri COLUMBIA, MISSOURI COVER DESCRIPTION: The front-cover illustration is a reproduc­ tion of George Caleb Bingham's portrait of John Woods Harris. Moving in 1817 from Madison County, Kentucky, to Thrall's Prairie in western Boone County, Missouri, Harris became a prominent merchant and agriculturalist. Harris experimented in agriculture and continually enlarged, improved and developed his farm. In 1873 the St. Louis Agricultural and Mechanical Association awarded Harris's farm the title of "Model Farm of Missouri." Harris also engaged in the mercantile business in Columbia, Rocheport and Middle Grove. He won election as Boone Coun­ ty's representative to the Missouri legislature in 1860 and 1864. Harris also served on the University of Missouri's board of curators. George Caleb Bingham, a friend of Harris, completed this portrait in 1837. Mrs. William Jackson Hendrick, a daughter of Harris, presented the portrait to the State Historical Society in 1923. The Harris portrait, along with fourteen other portraits, one landscape, two genre paintings, four engravings, two litho­ graphs and numerous sketches presently are being displayed in the Society's Art Gallery. This exhibit commemorates the 100th anniversary of Bingham's death. The State Historical Society Art Gallery is open to the public 8:00 A.M.-4:30 P.M., Monday-Friday, excepting legal holi­ days.

  • Fiscal Years 2021 – 2025 Preliminary Capital Plan UM
    Fiscal Years 2021 – 2025 Preliminary Capital Plan UM The capital planning process approved at the September 2017 Board of Curators meeting includes development of a five-year capital plan that will be reviewed and approved annually by the Board of Curators. This process allows for execution of the current year plan and will provide additional time for fundraising, working with legislature, and additional due diligence during years two through five. The capital plan will assist in driving any official fundraising campaigns for capital projects. Major capital projects will have to be approved by the Board of Curators before being incorporated into any approved capital plans, budget plans, or long-range business plans. Major capital projects include any new construction over $5 million in project cost or any renovation/infrastructure improvements over $8 million in project cost. The first step (Gate A) for a project is to be recommended for inclusion in the preliminary capital plan. At this step, each university has the opportunity to present their preliminary capital plan and explain why these are the university’s priority projects; including why they are in the priority order they are, and how they support the university’ strategic plan and master plan. The curators will have the opportunity to ask questions about the projects, approve projects, remove projects, question why other specific projects aren’t included, or add projects they feel are priorities. This year the Preliminary Capital Plans have two sections. The Preliminary Capital Plan included in Finance Plan section contains the projects included in the current five year Finance Plan.

Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) is one of the grants, which provides dedicated, discretionary funding for projects that address critical issues facing our nation’s highways and bridges. In July 2019, MoDOT was awarded an $81 million INFRA grant towards the replacement of the Interstate 70 (I-70) Missouri River bridge at Rocheport. As a result, MoDOT is preparing to replace the bridge. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and MoDOT’s Engineering Policy Guide (EPG) requires a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) re-evaluation when there has been greater than 3 years since the original NEPA approval, or when changes related to the original study have occurred. The original NEPA approval – an Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) – was made in 2005. Due to the amount of time that has passed since the initial evaluation and the more defined project limits, a NEPA re-evaluation of the previous studies for the Rocheport bridge is required and will be prepared in compliance with NEPA. Background The I-70 Corridor One of the most important limited-access highways across the United States is I-70, which provides an east-west connection across much of the United States.

The Proposed Action also includes the relocation of runway pavement and 1,099-foot extension of Runway 13/31 for a total length of 5,500 feet. This component would result in extending parallel Taxiway B and realigning a segment of South Rangeline Road. In addition, other airside and landside components of the Proposed Action include: the rehabilitation or reconstruction of airfield pavement, construction of connector Taxiway A5, widening of Taxiway A4, rehabilitating the south apron area, expanding the apron between Taxiways A2 and A3, infield drainage improvements, and expanding the auto parking lot.

    On the occasion of the Mizzou Alumni Association’s sesquicentennial, the association asked a researcher to dig up its history. The story is one of loyal alumni and citizens acting on behalf of Mizzou. (Perhaps what says it best is the legend of how alumni and locals saw to it that the Columns became Mizzou’s foremost campus icon.) MU alumni and citizens gather at the base of the Columns in the days after a fi re that destroyed Academic Hall in 1892. Keep your hands off these Columns he Mizzou Alumni Association was founded in 1853, but perhaps the best story that encapsulates its meaning to MU comes from a tenuous time in the University’s history. It’s the story of loyal alumni Tand citizens acting on behalf of Mizzou and how the Alumni Association saw to it that the Columns became Mizzou’s foremost campus icon. The inferno that consumed Academic Hall in 1892 somehow spared the six limestone Columns. To many alumni and Columbians at the time, they quickly became an enduring symbol of all they held dear about the University. But to others, including the University’s Board of Curators, the Columns looked out of scale with the new University buildings they hoped to construct around them. They resolved that the Columns would have to come down. Few people now know – perhaps because it weakens the legend – that the board originally intended to leave the Columns in place or reposition them on campus. But the board changed its mind, and some alumni and locals didn’t like it.
