Graves became the University of Evansville's first president, he observed that the institution, already well over 100 years old, "lacked a written history which would convey to all its constituents the school's long and honored tradition," noting that such a history would enrich both present and future gen­ erations. Accordingly, he commissioned retiring business manager Ralph Olmsted, a member of the first Evansville College graduating class, to compose such a chronicle, which was subsequently published under the title From Institute to University. The earlier chapters of the present volume are largely drawn from Ralph Olmsted's book and I am greatly indebted to his work in organizing and classify­ ing the institution's historical records. Because his book has long been out of print, I have incorporated material from it to the extent that space allows. In this way, I hope to make his legacy available to twenty-first century readers. Although, in its time, Olmsted's history served its purpose well, the sesqui­ centennial anniversary of our school's founding seemed an appropriate occasion to attempt the task anew, as well as to provide a chronicle of all that has hap­ pened in the intervening years. The resultant volume has been a collaborative effort in every sense, made pos­ sible because many people generously contributed information, effort, and energy to bring the project to a successful conclusion. Past Presidents Wallace Graves and James Vinson, Executive Vice President John Byrd, and President Stephen Jennings have given their enthusiastic support. Rebecca Dillbeck and Patricia Lippert in the president's office have gone far beyond the call of duty to be of help. In addition, recent and current members of the faculty, staff, and administration were extremely cooperative and gracious in providing information pertaining to their discipline or area of responsibility. My sincere thanks for their contributions.

Our university is the direct descendant of a small college established in 1854 in Moores Hill, Indiana, about 200 miles east of Evansville and forty miles west of Cincinnati. The town was named for its founder, Adam Moore, whose son, John Collins Moore, became the town's leading businessman and one of its wealthiest citizens. Although the younger Moore had little formal schooling himself, he believed strongly in the value of education; his family, in fact, owned the only dictionary in town. So, in 1853, when a represen­ tative of Brookville College (some twenty-five miles from Moores Hill) called on him for a con­ tribution, Moore began to think of the need for a school in his own community. Before the year was over, several of the town's leading citizens had met at the Methodist Church to explore the possibility of organizing a college to serve the needs of Moores Hill and its surrounding area. An act of the Indiana legislature, passed only the year before (1852), required "the incorporation of High Schools, Academies, Colleges, Universi­ ties, Theological Institutions, and Missionary Top: The Moore family home Boards" and the public sale of shares in such insti­ tutions. Accordingly, the founders of Moores Hill Bottom: Millstone from Adam Moore's mill College decided to sell shares in the new institu­ tion for $20 each.

  • HISTORIC EVANSVILLE a Self-Guided Tour of Downtown Evansville, Indiana Buildings Numbered 58 and 59 Have Been Razed Since the First Publication of This Guide
    HISTORIC EVANSVILLE A Self-guided Tour of Downtown Evansville, Indiana Buildings numbered 58 and 59 have been razed since the first publication of this guide. Welcome to Evansville! It is with pleasure that I welcome you to historic Evansville, Indiana. This guidebook will provide information on some of the prime examples of historic architecture in Downtown Evansville. The Riverside Drive Esplanade and downtown's Main Street have recently undergone significant physical improvements in an attempt to revive the city's rich heritage as a "Rivercity." Period street lighting and benches, brick paving, renewed landscaping and diesel trolleys, (reminiscent of those used in the 1890's), have been installed to visually reinforce a turn-of-the century theme by enhancing the historic character of downtown architecture. We invite both our citizens and visitors to utilize this pamphlet as a guide to explore Evansville's irreplaceable historic resources in the downtown area. 4^c U&*&* Frank F. McDonald II Cover photo from Artwork of Evansville, Indiana 1901. A birdseye Mayor view from the Old Courthouse looking toward the Ohio River. Introduction Center city and neighborhood revitalization is the key to the future of our older cities and towns. What is happening today in Evansville is not unique. Reinvestment in once-blighted neighborhoods and the recycling of historic commercial buildings is a world-wide phenomenon. This walking/driving tour guide is an introduction to some of the more interesting examples of historic preservation in downtown Evansville. Trolley Rides The Metropolitan Evansville Transit System (METS) operates two reproduction Trolleys in the Downtown area. Each travels down the Main Street Walkway (otherwise closed to vehicular traffic), with one taking a northerly circuit and the other a southerly circuit of the Downtown.

SEELEY ^6 ^iozi yi%^,^5 Copyright 1920 by ABE P. MADISON SEP -I 1^20 ©Ci.A576347 TO THE REVERENT MEMORY OF THE GOLD STARS Preface Now that the war has been over for more than a yea)- and a half, com- munities as well as individuals are asked, "What have you done to help?" The fi^htinj? has been over lonj? enouj^h for the recorder of its events to obtain historical perspective and authenticity, but the events of the war are still indelibly impressed on the minds of all so as to prive an accurate and vivid account of this soul stirring period of American history. The title of the book, "Sons of Men," has special reference to the first chapter of this book, "The Gold Stars." The time and painstaking work devoted to this chapter were out of all proportion to any similar quantity of material in the volume. With few exceptions every Gold Star family was interviewed. The material was obtained from the parents, often the mother, and included not only biographical data that the parents could give, but also Government reports, telegrams, personal letters from eyewitnesses such as officers, comrades. Red Cross nur.ses and chaplains. In some cases the material was very ^cant and limited, and this fact will explain the dif- ferent lengths and variety of detail of the biographies. So many of Evansville's Gold Stars who were in active service abroad belonged to the Thirtieth Division (Old Hickory) that the experiences of the Lucky Five are a history of the military career of more than five plucky Evansville soldiers.
