WISCONSIN MAGAZINE of HISTORY #^» Volume 29 December 1945 Number 2 Chats with the Editor ADGERS are already looking forward with much interest to 1948, the centennial year of Wisconsin statehood. Yes, B May 29, 1848, was an important day, marking as it did the entrance of Wisconsin into the Union as the thirtieth state, and Wisconsin will take pride in having completed its first hun- dred years. The 1945 session of the Legislature decided to concentrate the „, . , official state centennial observance at State Fair Planning the ^ , . ^ . „. ^ . , , ^ . , Park in West Allis. The centennia l rplanning Centennial r r t JQ/O committee or twenty consists or two state senators (John C. McBride of Milwaukee and Robert P. Robinson of Beloit); three assemblymen (Orin W. Angwall of Marinette, Arthur L. Padrutt of Chippewa Falls, and Ora R. Rice of Delavan); one representative from each congressional district (Mason Dobson of Beloit, J. Scott Earll of Prairie du Chien, M. J. Eberlein of Shawano, Marshall Graff of Appleton, Fred L. Holmes of Madison, Julius A. Laack of Plymouth, Albert Pawlak of Milwaukee, Milton R. Polland of Milwaukee, Howard Under- hill of Superior, and Walker D. Wyman of River Falls); and five special representatives (E. B. Fred for the university, George A. Haberman for labor, Joseph F. Heil for industry, Milo Swanton for agriculture, and Ernest Swift for conservation). The committee met on October 5 to elect Assemblyman Rice chairman, Mr. Holmes vice-chairman, and Senator Robinson secre- 129 130 CHATS WITH THE EDITOR [December tary. Mr. Ralph Ammon, manager of the State Fair, has been named director of the centennial observance to be held at the fair- grounds near Milwaukee, August 1-September 6, 1948. Everyone on the committee is agreed that the centennial observ- ance must be state wide. Not all the people can get to the Milwaukee fair; thus certain centennial features must travel out to the grass roots. Wisconsin organizations in. all fields of activity and in all localities shall be encouraged to take part in the centennial and to set up their own celebrations. The University of Wisconsin has a centennial committee headed by Professor William H. Kiek- hofer which is making rather elaborate plans for a varied series of observances and activities covering the entire academic year 1948-49, and no doubt other groups are doing or will do similar planning. The STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY is very anxious to see that the state centennial means much to the people of Wisconsin. The Society's very tentative plans call for (1) providing a central historical theme exhibit in a build- ing at the 1948 State Fair; (2) organizing a folk play on Wisconsin history and a his- torical exhibit which will travel about the state together for two or three months in the summer of 1948, ap- pearing in school auditoriums or at county fairs; (3.) establishing a historical pageant bureau which will furnish scripts and directors for communities which wish to stage pageants; (4) intensifying the campaign to put up historical markers along the highways of the state; (5) sponsoring a series of radio plays dealing with Wisconsin history and recording them so that they may be broad- cast throughout the state; (6) publishing and widely distributing a popularly written history of the state entitled Tell Me About Wisconsin; (7) issuing the first of its new series of Wisconsin biographies, nine of which are now in preparation. 1945] CHATS WITH THE EDITOR 131 This seven-point program is not yet worked out in detail, and we shudder to think how much remains to be done during the next two years. We wish to point out to the local historical societies of the state their great opportunity to prepare active centennial programs. We can visualize these societies; making historical pil- grimages across the state to the Milwaukee celebration, setting up their own local centennial features, helping with the state travel- ing show, perhaps sponsoring a pageant, and taking charge of the radio plays in their localities. They will have a rare chance to make people in their communities more conscious of the local societies' worth. ANNOUNCEMENT that the University of Wisconsin may acquire a museum building as part of the new development proposed for the Lower Campus makes us especially happy. A large and im- ,_,, rT . portant university needs a museum where it The University r J . ,• ~ ,, can collect and display selected materials or and Our Museum . ... r . .. , p ,. the varied civilizations or the world, past and present. For years the museum situation at Wisconsin has been fuzzy and confused. As soon as the STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY moved from the Capitol down State Street to its new building in 1900, various groups began to offer materials to its Museum. Those interested in classical civilizations brought in archeological and art materials. Those who had traveled abroad in Europe, Africa, South America, or the Orient gave the Society choice art objects and paintings including several Old Masters. In the field of early science and industry, much equipment and several curious con- traptions were placed with us, and more would have been forth- coming if we had had space. Students of the archeology and ethnology of primitive peoples gave us many valuable specimens. The Society also became the center of a general art movement; traveling shows were displayed in our galleries, and large numbers of Arundel Society prints and Piranesi etchings were acquired, as well as two special library funds which were used chiefly to pur- 132 CHATS WITH THE EDITOR [December chase books on Italian and medieval art. And of course, the Society's collections of Wisconsin materials grew by leaps and bounds. We do not mean to imply that this development was undesir- able in the twenty years following 1900. The university and capital community should have had the opportunity to see and study the materials we have described, and the Society is proud to have had a hand in starting worth-while movements now in charge of the Madison Art Association and the Memorial Union. But as the years went by, the Museum became more and more crowded. In 1911-14 the second stack wing was added to our building, and after that time no new museum facilities were acquired, though the collections easily doubled in size. Pictures were hung in rows and were crowded together along the tops of cases. More and more cases were built until it was difficult to walk about the rooms. More and more objects were crammed into cases. Not only was space an ever pressing problem, but the general accession policy became more incoherent. The Museum at no time had much money for purchasing collections, and materials were acquired chiefly by gift or on long-term, indefinite loan. Donors or lenders of influence and position often determined the make-up of the Museum's collections. The result was that it acquired a hodgepodge of objects, many of them almost entirely disparate. The relative abundance of Wisconsin paintings, archeological and ethnological objects, women's costumes, dolls, American china and glass, and certain other materials gave us some collections in depth, but any significance they might have had was smothered under the mass of unrelated materials and by congested display conditions. This story is, of course, not unique for Wisconsin. Nearly every other larger museum in the country has had a similar develop- ment. At a time when man's life was simpler and when the indus- trial revolution had not yet added such an appalling multitude of things to our civilization, a museum might aspire to have a general collection covering all fields of knowledge. But as our 1945] CHATS WITH THE EDITOR 133 civilization has grown more specialized, museums have been forced to do likewise. Even the largest ones have had to revise their original collection policies to restrict their collections to certain fields. The Society has within the last few years made a decision about its museum collection policies.

  • MORNING PRAYER Thursday April 2
    ! Welcome to Morning Prayer with the people of the Episcopal Diocese of Vermont. A few notes about today's service. Please leave your microphone on mute during the responsory portions of the service. You are welcome to unmute yourself when you are invited to offer your intercessions, then remember to mute it again when you have completed your prayer. We will always read the Gospel appointed for the day so that we can read and meditate on Jesus' words and teaching. MORNING PRAYER FROM THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER April 2, 2020 The Fifth Thursday in Lent JAMES LLOYD BRECK, Priest, Educator, and Missionary, 1876 Opening Sentence The Officiant says Lent Jesus said,” If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” Mark 8:34 Confession of Sin BCP 79 Officiant Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor. A period of silence is kept. All say together Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen. The Bishop says Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life.

  • Cathedral Building in America: a Missionary Cathedral in Utah by the Very Reverend Gary Kriss, D.D
    Cathedral Building in America: A Missionary Cathedral in Utah By the Very Reverend Gary Kriss, D.D. I “THERE IS NO fixed type yet of the American cathedral.”1 Bishop Daniel S. Tuttle’s comment in 1906 remains true today as an assessment of the progress of the cathedral movement in the Episcopal Church. In organization, mission, and architecture, American cathedrals represent a kaleidoscope of styles quite unlike the settled cathedral system which is found in England. It may fairly be said that, in the development of the Episcopal Church, cathedrals were an afterthought. The first cathedrals appear on the scene in the early 1860s, more than two hundred fifty years after Anglicans established their first parish on American soil. So far removed from the experience of English cathedral life, it is remarkable that cathedrals emerged at all—unless it might be suggested that by the very nature of episcopacy, cathedrals are integral to it. “I think no Episcopate complete that has not a center, the cathedral, as well as a circumference, the Diocese.”2 The year was 1869. William Croswell Doane, first Bishop of Albany, New York, was setting forth his vision for his Diocese. Just two years earlier, Bishop Tuttle had set out from his parish in Morris, New York, (which, coincidentally, was in that section of New York State which became part of the new Diocese of Albany in 1868) to begin his work as Missionary Bishop of Montana with Idaho and Utah. In 1869, Bishop Tuttle established his permanent home in Salt Lake City, and within two years, quite without any conscious purpose or design on his part, he had a cathedral.

  • Blain Biographical Directory of Anglican Clergy in the Diocese of Honolulu 1862-1902
    Blain Biographical Directory of Anglican clergy in the Diocese of Honolulu 1862-1902 The ‘Reformed Catholic Church of Hawai’i’ began with the consecration of the first bishop of Honolulu, Thomas Nettleship STALEY in 1861. In 1872 the diocese became the Anglican church of Hawai’i, under his successor Alfred WILLIS the second bishop of Honolulu. On WILLIS’s resignation in 1902, the see became a missionary district within the Episcopal Church of the United States of America, and in 1969 the diocese of Hawai'i. This biographical directory lists over 50 clergy who passed through Honolulu in the first forty years of Anglican church life. Few priests were in the diocese of Honolulu more than a year or two. Many biographies reveal visionary hopes and bitter disappointments. Several lives are shadowy to the point of invisibility. At the end of the sections in the biographies, bracketed numbers indicate the sources of preceding information. The Blain Biographical Directory of Anglican Clergy in the South Pacific (which includes some 1,650 priests) may be found on the Kinder library website, in Auckland New Zealand. These bracketed numbers are there given bibliographical substance in a document accompanying the biographical directory. The compiler points out that this directory has been researched and compiled without funding. I am very grateful to the hundreds of correspondents and agencies who have voluntarily assisted me on this work since the early 1990s. The compiler welcomes corrections and additions sent to [email protected]. Such will be incorporated in the master-copy held in Wellington New Zealand, and in due course in the online version of this directory with Project Canterbury.

  • Anglo-Catholicism in Antebellum North Carolina: Levi Silliman Ives and the Society of the Holy Cross
    Anglo-Catholicism in Antebellum North Carolina: Levi Silliman Ives and the Society of the Holy Cross By Lewis Wright He has instituted at Valle Crucis a monastic order . composed of persons bound to him by a vow of celibacy, poverty and obedience. He has given to the members, as their peculiar dress, a black cassock extending from the throat to the ankle. He allows to be placed on the altar a pyx, in which are reserved the remaining consecrated elements after a communion . there is used at Valle Crucis in a little manual of devotions . prayers to the Virgin Mary and the Saints. He has announced to two of his clergy an intention to send a “penitentiary” through the parishes in the Diocese to receive the confessions of the people.1 THESE CRITICISMS of the Rt. Rev. Levi Silliman Ives (1797-1867), bishop of North Carolina, were made in 1849 by George Edmond Badger, a prominent layman, lawyer and United States senator from Raleigh, North Carolina. Several accounts have been written of the life of Bishop Ives, a cradle Presbyterian who converted to the Episcopal Church. Ives served as the second bishop of North Carolina (1831-1852) and spent the last fifteen years of his life as a Roman Catholic layman (1852-1867).2 These accounts have included few details of the Society of the Holy Cross and of the bishop’s beloved mission-monastery outpost in the wilderness of the North Carolina mountains, which he called Valle Crucis Abbey.3 On an evening in late October or early November, 1847, at St.

    June 13-14, 2019 NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For More Information Contact: Lisa Swan Director of Marketing & Communications Nashotah House Theological Seminary Office: 262-646-6509 [email protected] The Rev. Dr. Greg Peters Nashotah House Appoints Dr. Greg Peters as Servants of Christ Research Professor of Monastic Studies and Chair to its First Annual International Conference June 13-14, 2019 NASHOTAH, WISCONSIN, (December 13, 2018) Nashotah House is excited to announce its first annual international conference, the James Lloyd Breck Conference on Monastism and the Church. This year’s conference theme, "The Monastic Call of Every Christian,” will explore the idea that the foundation of all forms of religious life, consecrated or lay, is the sacrament of baptism. Held at Nashotah House, the conference will provide an intimate forum to investigate this reality and its implications for the life and ministry of all Christians. The annual Breck Conference on Monasticism and the Church and appointment of Dr. Peters is made possible by a generous endowment granted to Nashotah House in 2017, extending the legacy of The St. Benedict Servants of Christ into perpetuity for the advancement of the Religious Life, especially within Anglicanism. "My hope is to continue Nashotah House's longstanding commitment to take seriously personal holiness and service in the Church. Monasticism has a lot to teach the twenty-first century and through the newly endowed Breck Conference we will be able to investigate monastic history for the express purpose of recovering its riches for today's church. To do this at Nashotah House reinforces the school's commitment to the Christian tradition and to the 'real preparation' of ecclesial ministers,” shared Peters.
