1 Police Chief No, Chief Politician Yes the Life of Leon Mercer Jordan, and the Shaping Memories of His Father and Grandfather
1 Police Chief No, Chief Politician Yes The Life of Leon Mercer Jordan, and the Shaping Memories of His Father and Grandfather By Robert M. Farnsworth 2 Dedicated to James C. Olson, whose professional dedication to history led him to complete his biography of Stuart Symington despite years of physical difficulty near the end of his life. His example challenged me in my elder years to tell the story of a remarkable man who made a significant difference in my life. 3 Preface How All This Began I moved from Detroit to Kansas City with my wife and four children in the summer of 1960 to assume my first tenure-track position as an Assistant Professor of American Literature at Kansas City University. The civil rights movement was gathering steam and I had made a couple of financial contributions to the Congress of Racial Equality while still in Detroit. CORE then asked if I were interested in becoming more socially active. I said yes, but I was moving to Kansas City. It took them months to catch up with me again in Kansas City and repeat their question. I again said yes. A few weeks later a field representative was sent to Kansas City to organize those who had showed interest. He called the first meeting in our home. Most who attended were white except for Leon and Orchid Jordan and Larry and Opal Blankinship. Most of us did not know each other, except the Jordans and the Blankinships were well acquainted. The rep insisted we organize and elect officers. -

B.Joseph White Becomes Dean
B.Joseph White Becomes Dean The Magazine of the School of Business Administration • University of Michigan • Spring 1991 Dea r Alumni and Friends, Many of you have written to congratulate me on my appointment as the Dean of the Michigan Business School. I am honored by this appointment and your generous thoughts mean a great deal to me. Three words best describe my feelings in taking on this job: responsibility, challenge, and excitement. Responsibility comes from the fact that we are all beneficiaries of over 60 years of investment in the Business School made by present and past members of the community. Now we are the stewards, responsible to ensure continued excellence. We must commit ourselves to continued development of this institution, so that we can pass along to future generations a School not just as good as todays, but better. This is what our predecessors did for us; now we owe no less to our successors. Our challenge is to achieve excellence in our mission of educating students, developing and disseminating knowledge, and helping the institutions of business become more effective. It is a mission that we pursue at a time of tremendous opportunity, but also at a time of unprecedented expectations on the part of our stakeholders as well as intense competition among leading business schools. The escalating performance standards and heightened competitive dynamics which have challenged industry after industry in the last ten years are now on our doorstep. The excitement I feel is a result of my high level of confidence in our current strategic position and of the commitment and support given by the entire Business School family: our alumni, our friends, and the corporations we serve. -

The effect of this on-going, scholarly ‘explosion’, in which both black and white historians are actively engaged, is both manifold and wide-reaching for in illuminating myriad aspects of African American life and culture from the colonial period to the very recent past it is simultaneously, and inevitably, enriching our understanding of the entire fabric of American social, economic, cultural and political history. Perhaps not surprisingly the depth and breadth of coverage received by particular topics and time-periods has so far been uneven. -

Finney began a career in ministry that was to have far- reaching implications for the religious as well as the civil life of the people of the United States. In July of that year he was ordained by the Presbytery of St. Lawrence, and assigned as a missionary to the little towns of Evans Mills and Antwerp in Jefferson County, New York. Under the vivid preaching of this ex-lawyer a wave of revivalism began to sweep through the whole region.^ Following the revival of 1824-27, Finney carried the religious awakening into Philadelphia, New York City, and Rochester, New York. -

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION STADLER GENETICS SYMPOSIA Volume 5 Edited by Gordon Kimber and G.P. Redei Columbia, Missouri 19 7 3 VOLUME 5 OF THE STADLER SYMPOSIA IS DEDICATED TO PROFESSOR ALBERT E. LONGLEY ON HIS 80TH BIRTHDAY BY THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE OF THE SYMPOSIA A. EISENSTARK, C. S. 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. -
