The 50th anniversaries of the establishment of the Peace Corps and the independence of Burkina Faso were a few months apart. To honor the occasion, the Friends of Burkina Faso held celebratory events across the African nation. Central Michigan University joined in the festivities, recognizing the dual anniversaries and donating $1,000 to repair an ambulance in the commune of Dargo. Michael Lavoie, retired Peace Corps volunteer and president of the Friends of Burkina Faso, says the words of the wife of the Colonel Ouedraogo, Great Mayor of Dargo, struck him, “She said, ‘I think it’s a great thing because it will save lives.’” “It was the right thing to do,” says CMU President George E. Ross. “This is a small world. I say to my students all the time on this campus, ‘We’re a small planet, and we have to experience other people, other cultures.’ The ideas of freedom, the ideas of loving and caring are universal ideas.” • Student entrepreneurs win start-up funds Two CMU students think they can change the way people pay for merchandise and services, and they recently won $30,000 to see if they’re right. Entrepreneurship majors Daniel Pearson and Tyler Gostinger received first place in the College of Business Administration’s inaugural New Venture Competition with their business plan for HybridPay, which will allow consumers to integrate multiple credit and rewards accounts onto one simple and secure smart phone application. “We’re going to use the $30,000 prize money to start and develop our application, our software,” says Gostinger. “In our projections, we have for the next three months the development stage,” says Pearson. “After that, hopefully we do a soft launch here on campus and make sure the system works right. After that, we’re off to the races.” A total of $45,000 was awarded in the competition, with graduate students Jason and Mick Baird winning the second-place prize of $10,000 and Benjamin Prentiss, ’10, and biology student Tony Johnson receiving the third-place prize of $5,000. • alumni.cmich.edu/centralight for more 2 centralight summer ’11 CMU Today Education and Human Services Building takes top honors The Construction Association of Michigan has named Central Michigan University’s Education and Human Services Building as the state’s top project of 2010. The award, which was announced at the Michigan Construction and Design Trade Show in Detroit, was the result of an online voting competition that highlighted 12 projects across the state. More than 6,200 online votes were cast, with CMU receiving nearly 40 percent of the total. “We are thrilled that our Education and Human Services Building was named as the state’s top project,” says Kathy Koch, interim dean of CMU’s College of Education and Human Services. “This facility represents the future of education in its emphasis on technology in the classroom, teaching spaces that encourage active student engagement, and attention to the importance of our environment as it influences teaching and learning.” Completed in June 2009, the $50 million, four-story, 137,000-square-foot building enhances the learning and classroom atmosphere for thousands of CMU students. The design process began in early 2006 and includes state-of-the-art academic instructional spaces, classroom labs and a child development center. • MHTV earns 10th straight Station of the Year honors For an unprecedented 10th consecutive year, the School of Broadcast and Cinematic Arts’ MHTV has been named College TV Station of the Year by the Michigan Association of Broadcasters. “It’s a tribute to the unit as a whole, it’s also a tribute to the individual students’ achievements, their wins in categories that collectively come together to determine who gets Station of the Year,” says Peter Orlik, director of the School of Broadcast and Cinematic Arts. A large part of CMU’s continued success is the accomplishments of News Central 34, the only student-run hour-long newscast in the state and one of the few in the country. In this year’s MAB awards, News Central 34 took the top two places in the Daily Newscast category. CMU also won the Talk Show, Public Service Announcement, Sports Play-by-Play and Station Activities Report awards. • alumni.cmich.edu/centralight for more centralight summer ’11 3 teXT BY SARAH CHUBY, ’03 M.A. ’11 Whether the ceremony took place 50 years ago PHOTOS BY ROBERT BARCLAY or today, graduation marks the culmination AND PEGGY BRISBANE of a demanding, yet satisfying, journey.

  • Callaway County, Missouri During the Civil War a Thesis Presented to the Department of Humanities
    THE KINGDOM OF CALLAWAY: CALLAWAY COUNTY, MISSOURI DURING THE CIVIL WAR A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS By ANDREW M. SAEGER NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY MARYVILLE, MISSOURI APRIL 2013 Kingdom of Callaway 1 Running Head: KINGDOM OF CALLAWAY The Kingdom of Callaway: Callaway County, Missouri During the Civil War Andrew M. Saeger Northwest Missouri State University THESIS APPROVED Thesis Advisor Date Dean of Graduate School Date Kingdom of Callaway 2 Abstract During the American Civil War, Callaway County, Missouri had strong sympathies for the Confederate States of America. As a rebellious region, Union forces occupied the county for much of the war, so local secessionists either stayed silent or faced arrest. After a tense, nonviolent interaction between a Federal regiment and a group of armed citizens from Callaway, a story grew about a Kingdom of Callaway. The legend of the Kingdom of Callaway is merely one characteristic of the curious history that makes Callaway County during the Civil War an intriguing study. Kingdom of Callaway 3 Introduction When Missouri chose not to secede from the United States at the beginning of the American Civil War, Callaway County chose its own path. The local Callawegians seceded from the state of Missouri and fashioned themselves into an independent nation they called the Kingdom of Callaway. Or so goes the popular legend. This makes a fascinating story, but Callaway County never seceded and never tried to form a sovereign kingdom. Although it is not as fantastic as some stories, the Civil War experience of Callaway County is a remarkable microcosm in the story of a sharply divided border state.

  • End: Grant Sidebar>>>>>
    FINAL History of Wildwood 1860-1919 (chapter for 2018 printing) In the prior chapter, some of the key factors leading to the Civil War were discussed. Among them were the Missouri Compromise of 1820, the McIntosh Incident in 1836, the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 which led to “the Bleeding Kansas” border war, and the Dred Scott case which was finally decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1856. Two books were published during this turbulent pre-war period that reflected the conflicts that were brewing. One was a work of fiction: Uncle Tom’s Cabin or a Life Among the Lowly by Harriet Beecher Stowe published in 1852. It was an anti-slavery novel and helped fuel the abolitionist movement in the 1850s. It was widely popular with 300,000 books sold in the United States in its first year. The second book was nonfiction: Twelve Years a Slave was the memoir of Solomon Northup. Northup was a free born black man from New York state who was kidnapped in Washington, D.C. and sold into slavery. He was in bondage for 12 years until family in New York secretly received information about his location and situation and arranged for his release with the assistance of officials of the State of New York. His memoir details the slave markets, the details of sugar and cotton production and the treatment of slaves on major plantations. This memoir, published in 1853, gave factual support to the story told in Stowe’s novel. These two books reflected and enhanced the ideological conflicts that le d to the Civil War.
