  • Fort Benjamin Harrison: from Military Base to Indiana State
    FORT BENJAMIN HARRISON: FROM MILITARY BASE TO INDIANA STATE PARK Melanie Barbara Hankins Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in the Department of History, Indiana University April 2020 Accepted by the Graduate Faculty of Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Master’s Thesis Committee ____________________________________ Philip V. Scarpino, Ph.D., Chair ____________________________________ Rebecca K. Shrum, Ph.D. ____________________________________ Anita Morgan, Ph.D. ii Acknowledgements During my second semester at IUPUI, I decided to escape the city for the day and explore the state park, Fort Benjamin Harrison State Park. I knew very little about the park’s history and that it was vaguely connected to the American military. I would visit Fort Harrison State Park many times the following summer, taking hikes with my dog Louie while contemplating the potential public history projects at Fort Harrison State Park. Despite a false start with a previous thesis topic, my hikes at Fort Harrison State Park inspired me to take a closer look at the park’s history, which eventually became this project. Finishing this thesis would have been nearly impossible without the encouragement and dedication of many people. First, I need to thank my committee: Dr. Philip Scarpino, Dr. Rebecca Shrum, and Dr. Anita Morgan for their criticism, support, and dedication throughout my writing process. I would especially like to thank my chair, Dr. Scarpino for his guidance through the transition of changing my thesis topic so late in the game.

  • Music in I Ndiaiiapolis, 1900-1944'
    Music In I ndiaiiapolis, 1900-1944’ MARTHAF. EELLINGER Developments in music since nineteen hundred, which were based largely on the foundations pi’eviously laid, in- volved notable and significant advances. The outstanding features of this peviod are the establishment of the People’s Concert Association and the People’s Chorus, the foundation of the lndianapolis hranch of the National Federation of Music Clubs, the expansion of the Matinee Musicale, the rapid development of applied and theoretical music in the public schools, and the founding of the Indiana State Sym- phony Orchestra. In the early years of the century a group of citizens headed by Edward €3. Birge, Director of Music in the Public Schools, conceiving the idea oi offering good music, com- parable to that of the May fePtival days, on a non-profit sys- tem, and of making a bid for a larger audience, organized the People’s Concert Association. The sale of two or three thousand seats, at twenty-five or fifty cents each, would guarantee the engagement of fine artists, and at the same time afford opportunity for the production of major com- positions in which the local organizations would participate. Mindful of financial hazards, the committee at first sought and obtained eighty guarantors who promised to back the enterprise to the extent of ten dollars each, but as it turned out, no guarantor was ever asked to pay. The creation of an audience-a x:er*y large audience-was the crux of the problem, and it was solved iii a large measure by the fine co-operation of the puhlic school teaching staffs.

  • Fort Ben and the City of Lawrence Selected As Nominee for ‘Rising Tech City’
    Fort Ben and the City of Lawrence Selected as Nominee for ‘Rising Tech City’ INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (February 19, 2019) — TechPoint, the nonprofit, industry-led growth initiative for Indiana’s technology ecosystem, announced the nominees for its 20th annual Mira Awards presented by Angie’s List and Salesforce. The Mira Awards gala—the biggest tech awards event in the state—celebrates the people, products, companies, and places chosen as ‘The Best of Tech in Indiana’. Together, Fort Ben and the City of Lawrence were announced as one of five nominees in the Rising Tech City category, which recognizes cities, towns, regions or communities in Indiana and celebrates the projects and people behind them who have championed the location’s advancement with emphasis on tech friendliness. “The City of Lawrence is honored to be considered for a Mira Award – the nomination recognizes Fort Ben’s viability as a technology and innovation campus with its rich history, one-of-a-kind setting, and accessibility, as well as the City’s commitment to fostering tech innovation and entrepreneurship as the true backbone of its economic development strategy,” said Mayor Steve Collier. It may be a surprise to some to see the City of Lawrence on the list of nominees among the larger cities of Indianapolis, Fishers and South Bend and Bloomington. Though the City and the Fort Ben campus is much smaller, the concentration of businesses and amenities is mighty. The nomination honors two-decades of strategic planning and investment of local and regional leaders into the redevelopment of the former Fort Benjamin Harrison military base into a walkable, mixed-use campus that is now home to 27 technology firms within a half-mile radius.
