AM IDEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE SENATE WARTIME ADDRESSES OF ROBERT MARION LA FOLLETTE Harry R. Gianneschi A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December . 197.5 618206 Vu.w ii Wo • ABSTRACT Robert Marion La Follette, leading American progres sive, Governor of Wisconsin for three terms, and U. S. Senator from 1905 to 1925, was selected by the 1957 Senate as one of five of its greatest members throughout this country’s history. In light of Ij.s subsequent praiseworthy reputation and of the popular support he maintained during most of his career, the reason for his publicly denounced "anti-war" stance in 1917 has remained a mystery to many critics. Viewing the stance as a break-away from his previous beliefs, historians have tagged him as pacifistic, ignorant, or demagogic in his approach to the war. This study was designed to investigate elements in La Follette's life and speaking which could clarify the motivation for his Senate speeches from April 4 to October 6 in 1917. Research on this topic was devoted to an in-depth investigation of La Follette's entire speaking career. Texts of the speeches he gave during his life, editorial writings presented in La Follette's Magazine, and the personal papers of La Follette, members of his family, and close friends, all located in the Wisconsin State Histori cal Society Archives, were studied. Reactions were discovered in accounts by his contemporaries and the newspapers of the day. -
What Will Happen to Knapp House, the Original Wisconsin Governor's Mansion? - Isthmus
11/19/2014 What will happen to Knapp house, the original Wisconsin governor's mansion? - Isthmus ISTHMUS What will happen to Knapp house, the original Wisconsin governor's mansion? State officials mum on plans for historic landmark by on Tuesday 11/18/2014 1:08 pm The future of the Wisconsin governor's mansion is in doubt. Not the current one, where 14 governors have lived. It's the earlier one, home to 18 governors from 1883 to 1950, that is a few blocks from the Capitol. The mansion may be sold by the Wisconsin Department of Administration, but officials have been vague about what they're considering. The potential sale has some fretting about the landmark's future. "It's such an important piece of the city's history, and the land around it is significant in that history," says Ald. Ledell Zellers, whose district includes the mansion. The mansion, 130 E. Gilman St., is on the National Register of Historic Places. The date of its completion is unknown, perhaps as early as 1854. At the time, the entire UW consisted of North Hall. Madison was two years from incorporating as a city. For many years the home was jokingly called "The White House" for its first owner, Julius White, later a Civil War general. Officially, it was the "Executive Residence," named by Belle Case La Follette, wife of governor and later U.S. Sen. Bob La Follette. She felt the term "mansion" distanced the public. The property totals 63,462 square feet. In 1950 the state transferred the property to the UW Board of Regents for $60,000, drawn from a UW trust fund created by Kemper Knapp. -

2011-2012 Wisconsin Blue Book: Statistics
STATISTICS: HISTORY 679 HIGHLIGHTS OF HISTORY IN WISCONSIN History — On May 29, 1848, Wisconsin became the 30th state in the Union, but the state’s written history dates back more than 300 years to the time when the French first encountered the diverse Native Americans who lived here. In 1634, the French explorer Jean Nicolet landed at Green Bay, reportedly becoming the first European to visit Wisconsin. The French ceded the area to Great Britain in 1763, and it became part of the United States in 1783. First organized under the Northwest Ordinance, the area was part of various territories until creation of the Wisconsin Territory in 1836. Since statehood, Wisconsin has been a wheat farming area, a lumbering frontier, and a preeminent dairy state. Tourism has grown in importance, and industry has concentrated in the eastern and southeastern part of the state. Politically, the state has enjoyed a reputation for honest, efficient government. It is known as the birthplace of the Republican Party and the home of Robert M. La Follette, Sr., founder of the progressive movement. Political Balance — After being primarily a one-party state for most of its existence, with the Republican and Progressive Parties dominating during portions of the state’s first century, Wisconsin has become a politically competitive state in recent decades. The Republicans gained majority control in both houses in the 1995 Legislature, an advantage they last held during the 1969 session. Since then, control of the senate has changed several times. In 2009, the Democrats gained control of both houses for the first time since 1993; both houses returned to Republican control in 2011. -
The Saint John's Bible Comes to Madison
riendsNEWS F Spring 2015 UNIVERSITY OF wisconsin–madison LIBRARIES The Saint John’s Bible Comes to Madison Maria Saffiotti Dale Curator of Paintings, Sculpture, and Decorative Arts Chazen Museum of Art and President of the Friends of the UW–Madison Libraries n 1995, conversations began between Ithe British calligraphy artist and scribe to Queen Elizabeth II, Donald Jackson, and the Benedictine Abbey and University of St. John’s in Collegeville, Minnesota, about embarking on the production of a handwritten and hand illuminated Bible. More than fifteen years later, The Saint John’s Bible was completed by Jackson and a team of scribes and illuminators working under his direction. According to medieval practice, the Bible is written with quills and reeds, illuminated with natural pigments, gold and silver leaf on calfskin. The complex layout of the text and images, however, was accomplished with the help of the computer. This mammoth project necessitated the creation of both an artistic community as well as a monastic, scholarly one. Donald Jackson assembled a team of scribes and artists based primarily in his scriptorium in Wales. Saint John’s convened the Committee on Illumination and Text to guide the theological interpretation of the text, to give expression to the monastic intentions undergirding the commission, and to represent a diversity of spiritual and artistic views. In the spirit of the monastic practice of lectio divina— holy reading, which is a meditative, prayerful reading of Scripture—a creative Messianic Predictions, Thomas Ingmire, Copyright 2005, The Saint John’s Bible, Saint John’s collaboration arose in the development of University, Collegeville, Minnesota USA. -
