2019 - 2020 Resource Guide 2019 - 2020 RESOURCE GUIDE 2019 - 2020 RESOURCE GUIDE Since 1853, the Mizzou Alumni Association has carried the torch of alumni support for the University of Missouri. From our first president, Gen. Odon Guitar, until today we have been blessed with extraordinary volunteer leadership. Thanks in large part to that leadership, the Association has been a proud and prominent resource for the University and its alumni for 165 years. This resource guide is the product of our commitment to communicate efficiently and effectively with our volunteer leaders. We hope the enclosed information is a useful tool for you as you serve on our Governing Board. It is critical that you know and share the story of how the Association proudly serves the best interests and traditions of Missouri’s flagship university. We are proud to serve a worldwide network of 325,000 Mizzou alumni. Your volunteer leadership represents a portion of our diverse, vibrant and loyal membership base. While Mizzou has many cherished traditions, the tradition of alumni support is one that we foster by our actions and commitment to the Association and the University. Thank you for your selfless service to MU and the Association. With your involvement and engagement, I am confident we will reach our vision of becoming the preeminent resource for the University of Missouri. Our staff and I look forward to working with you in 2019 - 2020. Go Mizzou! Todd A.

The Mizzou Alumni Association was founded in 1853, but perhaps the best story that encapsulates its meaning to MU comes from a tenuous time in the University’s history. It’s the story of loyal alumni and citizens acting on behalf of Mizzou and how the Alumni Association saw to it that the Columns became Mizzou’s foremost campus icon. 10 Our Organization The inferno that consumed Academic Hall in 1892 somehow spared the six limestone Columns. To many alumni and Columbians at the time, they quickly became an enduring symbol of all they held dear about the University. But others, including the University’s Board of Curators, the Columns looked out of scale with the new University buildings they hoped to construct around them. They resolved that the Columns would have to come down. Few people now know – perhaps because it weakens the legend – that the board originally intended to leave the Columns in place or reposition them on campus. But the board changed its mind, and some alumni and locals didn’t like it. Among them was Jerry Dorsey, a leading Columbia citizen of that period. According to a newspaper report, Dorsey watched with interest as workers carried off the chard remnants of Academic Hall. He was appalled to learn one day that Gideon Rothwell, president of the board, had ordered a pair of mule teams hitched to one of the Columns, with instructions to tear it down. “Mr. Dorsey sought Mr. Rothwell and protested against the destruction of the Columns, who insisted that they were a menace and dangerous,” according to the newspaper account. “Mr. Dorsey declared that the Columns could not be pulled down by a herd of elephants, whereupon Mr. Rothwell announced that they were coming down if he had to dynamite them. The argument became heated, Mr. Rothwell struck at Mr. Dorsey and Mr. Dorsey upheld his Kentucky traditions and returned the blow. Spectators separated the combatants and the controversy continued in a battle of words.” At this point, Dorsey may have charged off to the courthouse to get a writ of injunction against tearing down the Columns. But writ or no writ, alumni got wind of the board’s plot and added their voices of protest. In fact, the president of the Mizzou Alumni Association (MAA) Gardiner Lathrop, made a persuasive speech to the curators, according to a story that engineering Professor Luther “Daddy” Defoe (association president in 1903-04) used to tell. A 1924 account goes like this: “Following a brilliant plea before the board, during which Lathrop pleaded with tears in his eyes that the Columns be preserved intact, a plan was presented that the whole of the elevated campus (now Francis Quadrangle) be cut away, except for a small tract around the Columns, which should be terraced into mounds, to rise above the level of the campus.” This time around, the board resolved that its previous resolution was a bad idea. After Lathrop’s speech, Mr. Rothwell stated “Let the Columns stand. Let them stand for a thousand years.” In many ways, imagining Mizzou without its beloved Columns is like trying to imagine a strong university without alumni support. It is only fitting that more than 100 years later, the MAA Long Range Planning Committee penned a mission statement that begins with “The Mizzou Alumni Association proudly supports the best interests and traditions of Mis- souri’s flagship university and its alumni worldwide.” 11 Mizzou and MAA: Through the Years... 1839 Boone County wins its bid to locate the University in Co- an aphid by grafting French vines onto resistant Missouri lumbia.

  • The Reeves Families of Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri and Iowa
    THE REEVES FAMILIES OF VIRGINIA, KENTUCKY, MISSOURI AND IOWA by John M. Wanamaker 2001 Retyped in Microsoft Word by Michael L. Wilson, April 2017. I obtained a copy of this document from John M. Wanamaker in June 2002. It is presented as I got it, without trying to correct errors. The notes in brackets [] are by John. Further information can be found on my web site at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mlwilson/ THE REEVES FAMILIES OF VIRGINIA, KENTUCKY, MISSOURI AND IOWA. PREFACE Compiling this history has been quite an adventure. I began with a single sheet of paper – a mimeographed copy of a typewritten copy of the obituary of Benjamin H. Reeves. The paper was yellowed and the print was slanted down-hill from left to right and of poor quality. I do not know the origin of this paper. I only know it is something that I have “always had”. My next find, entirely by accident, was a plaque on a building in “Old Town” St. Charles, Mo. We had stopped to spend the night on a trip back from Pennsylvania in the summer of 1996. The dinner hour led us to explore the historic shop and restaurant district nearby. There on a shop front was a plaque that read; “Site of Eckert’s Tavern 1826 – 1846. In 1824 Congress authorized a trade road to Santa-Fe and appointed Geo. C. Sibley, Benj. Reeves and Thomas Mather to survey the route. Final reports of this survey were written here in the latter part of 1827.” Imagine my surprise! I then discovered the State Historical Society of Missouri and its “Western Historical Manuscript Collection”.

PUB DATE 1998-11-00 NOTE 31p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the National Communication Association (84th, New York, NY, November 21-24, 1998). PUB TYPE Reports Research (143) Speeches/Meeting Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Communication Research; Higher Education; *Organizational Climate; *Organizational Communication; *Story Telling; *Student Attitudes; Universities; Values ABSTRACT This study examined the culture of a university by analyzing its stories. Stories were collected over a period of five years at a large midwestern research university. Results suggest that a strong student subculture is frequently in conflict with the organization's dominant tradition-based culture. Stories illustrate the conflict between these two, as well as provide examples of unity between them. Other stories are ambiguous, not clearly espousing any values. In this way, the analysis suggests the importance of using all three perspectives on organizational culture defined by J. Martin (1992). The results seem applicable to studying other organizations as well, since stories of conflict and unity may provide insight into organizations' cultures. Contains 21 references and a figure illustrating the typology of organizational stories.
