  • Autobiographical Notes by Walter Noll, 1988
    Autobiographical Notes by Walter Noll, 1988 Section A. 1925-1946. I was born on Jan. 7, 1925 in Berlin-Biesdorf, a district in the North-East of Berlin. My parents, Franz Noll and Martha Noll, née Janßen, had lived in Berlin since about 1915. My father grew up in Thüringen in central Germany; his parents had immigrated from Rotterdam, Holland, to Germany in about 1890. My Mother grew up in a rural area near Varel in Northwest Germany. Both of my parents had only an 8-year grade-school education. My mother was employed as a maid until she got married. My father went to a trade school for two years and then became a tool-and-die maker. Most of his life he worked for "Jaroslaw's Erste Glimmerwarenfabrik" , later renamed "Scherb und Schwer G.m.b.H.", in Berlin. He eventually became foreman and division manager. He originated 5 patents. My father was active in the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) from the time he was a young man. During the First World War, in 1917, he gave a speech at a rally of striking munitions workers. As a result, he had to spend the last nine months of the war in prison. Later, he became a very strong opponent of the Nazis. When the Nazis attained power in 1933, he predicted that there would be a second world war, that the U.S. would again fight against Germany, and that Germany would again be defeated. Even as a child, I never doubted that he was right.

  • How a Scandal Helped Change IU Forever PLUS IU's Most Influential Presidents & Honoring the Contributions Minorities & Women Have Made to the University
    IU BICENTENNIAL SPECIAL How a Scandal Helped Change IU Forever PLUS IU's Most Influential Presidents & Honoring the Contributions Minorities & Women Have Made to the University By Carmen Siering Founded on January 20, 1820, as the State Seminary, Indiana University has grown from a one-building institution of learning—where a dozen young men were taught the classics by a single professor, Baynard Rush Hall—to a world-class research institution with more than 94,000 students and more than 21,000 faculty and staff on campuses in Bloomington and across the state. The bicentennial was being discussed as early as 2007—the year Michael A. McRobbie became president. But planning for this one-time-only celebration of the university’s first 200 years kicked into high gear in 2015. That’s the year James Capshew was hired as the official university historian, and the Office of the Bicentennial, directed by Kelly Kish, began focusing on a myriad of Bloomington-based and statewide projects to coincide with the anniversary. A website, magazine, blogs, podcasts, videos, oral histories—a true multiplicity of media representations—are An 1836 drawing of the First College Building, located at Seminary Square, published all being utilized to disseminate the gathered research.

To a peculiar degree the Indiana milieu was created to inspire love.

    The Campus as a Pedagogical Agent Herman B Wells, Cultural Entrepreneurship, and the Benton Murals JAMES H. CAPSHEW he visionary educator Herman B Wells indelibly transformed TIndiana University in his service as President (1937-62) and University Chancellor (1962-2000). Under his leadership, the universi- ty grew from a provincial hub into a cosmopolitan center of learning with an international reputation. Shrewd, charming, and energetic, Wells possessed an immense social network and ample sound judgment to find and create opportunities to improve the fortunes of IU. People were his passion, and he cultivated contacts with all members of the university community as well as with many groups beyond the campus. Although he strengthened the university’s focus on research and advanced training, he made an extraordinary effort to cultivate the arts as well. Wells’s unwavering commitment to academic freedom was put to the test by his protection of Alfred Kinsey’s controversial research on sex, and he set into motion the expansion of international academic pro- grams of many kinds. __________________________ James H.

  • Woodland Campus Walking Tour
    s Indiana University – Bloomington A Historic Walking Tour The Woodland Campu Woodland The Contents History of the Woodland Campus 2 State of the Woodland Campus 6 Future of the Woodland Campus 10 The Walking Tour 12 Introduction The eminent botanist Paul Weatherwax was a major proponent of campus woodlands at Indiana University in the 20th century. Writing in 1974, he stated: ... within the memory of alumni and former students, Indiana University has grown to be one of the great educational, cultural, and scientific centers of the world. A unique facet of its many-sided character is its campus with much of its original association of plant and animal life. There are few places in the world where great laboratories, classrooms, libraries, auditoriums, and other such centers of intellectual and artistic creativity are located in an environment which retains its primeval character – few places where one may so quickly and so completely cast off the tensions and anxieties of this complex modern world in quiet meditation. The tradition of a green campus and natural areas continues with the support of the IU Administration. We are fortunate to have easy access to the luxuriant forests of southern Indiana that have been specifically dedicated for teaching and research. This brochure is a successor to Weatherwax’s The Woodland Campus, a publication which highlighted the natural aesthetics of the forests on Indiana University’s Bloomington campus. Weatherwax, a student and faculty member at IU from 1914 to 1959, wrote the first version of The Woodland Campus in 1966. From then on, the brochure continued to be revised and updated to keep pace with Indiana University’s changing woodland landscapes.

Two African Americans, William Cooley and Aaron Wallace, purchased lots in the November, 1818 land sale. Literally, it was the second such sale of parcels in the city’s short history. No more information is available about these families, but census data from the 1860’s through the 1880’s document that the city attracted many African Americans pri- marily from Virginia, North and South Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, and Kentucky in the first waves of migration to the north. Although the Indiana State Constitution of 1816 outlawed involuntary servitude and African American citizens were free to live and work anywhere in the state, there were still those born into slavery in the south who fled to the north and were returned for bounty.

Capshew has been writing But who was the man behind the myth? and researching the book for more than eight years. Herein is a fi rst look What was Wells like in his private moments? at this major work-in-progress. What fueled and drove his devotion to IU? James Capshew answers all of these questions B in his nearly completed biography, under the working title How Herman B Wells Built Indiana University and Shaped Higher Education in America and Around the World. “When I fi rst talked to Wells about want- ing to write his biography, his fi rst response was, ‘That’s crazy, there’s no need for that,’” says Capshew, who as an IU undergraduate We l l s in the 1970s worked as a houseboy for Wells.

    Indiana Public Library Legal Toolkit For the American Association of Law Libraries Legal Information Services to the Public Special Interest Section By Steven Richardson, Information Services Librarian, Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law at the University of Memphis Constitution & Codes When most people want to know “the law”, this is what they are looking for. These are the laws of the state as they have been written. Indiana Constitution http://iga.in.gov/legislative/laws/const/ The state constitution is the basis for the entire state government, and no law passed in Indiana may conflict with it. The current version, as amended in 2010 is available on the state government website. Citations to the Indiana Constitution will read as either, “IND. CONST. art. #, §#.” or “IND. CONST. amend. #, §#.” Indiana Code http://iga.in.gov/legislative/laws/2019/ic/ The Indiana Code is a compilation of all general laws currently in force in Indiana, arranged by topic. Laws that have expired, been removed, or were of limited effect are not included in the code. Citations to the Indiana Code will be in order of Title, Article, Chapter, and Section, so they will look something like: IC §#-#-#-# (year). West’s Indiana Code is published by Thompson Reuters, while the Burns Indiana Statutes Annotated is published by Lexis. Indiana Administrative Code http://www.in.gov/legislative/iac/ The Indiana Administrative Code is made of regulations promulgated by administrative agencies under the authority granted to them by the legislature and compiled by topic. As such, they tend to be very focused and narrow. Citations to the Indiana Administrative Code are in the form of Title, Indiana Administrative Code, Article, Rule, Section, so they look like # IND.
