Beth Strum, my Graduate Assistant, and Professor Michael Recht, both of Syracuse University's College of Visual and Performing Arts, were responsible for much of the early digging out of information and sources. Mrs. Gladys Leiter, my administrative assistant was instrumental in marshal- ling information and keeping at bay the many administrative chores of the college, early on when I started working on the book. The late Professor George Stark, my colleague and friend, Jeffry P.Lindsay, I thank for technical advice and critical review. Professor James Ander- son, Eddie West, Juan Alvarez, former graduate students, all made valuable contributions. Finally my thanks to Sharon Woodbury, my wife Tommie and John Ivo Gilles, who wrestled with computer languages and editing.

  • Cyrus Dallin's the Scout
    Cyrus Dallin’s The Scout: Civic Identity Cast Through a Native Equestrian Monument By © 2019 Matthew Bowman M.A., University of Connecticut, 2014 B.A., Augustana College, 2012 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Indigenous Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Chair: Dr. Peter Welsh Dr. Charles Eldredge Dr. Robert Warrior Date Defended: 11 April 2019 The thesis committee for Matthew Bowman certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Cyrus Dallin’s The Scout: Civic Identity Cast Through a Native Equestrian Monument Chair: Dr. Peter Welsh Date Approved: 11 April 2019 ii Abstract This thesis studies The Scout, a monumental bronze Indian equestrian sculpted by Cyrus Dallin and located since 1916 on a hilltop at Penn Valley Park overlooking Kansas City and the West. Emphasizing its story during the early twentieth century, this analysis utilizes local primary source accounts and secondary sources for two arguments: First, City Beautiful Movement values motivated Kansas City’s procurement of The Scout. Second, Kansas Citians purposefully stationed the statue at its precipice to face a direction aligning with desirable identifying markers, referring allegorically to both romantic frontier pasts and industrial futures. These objectives are achieved by examining the physical sculpture along with visual and material cultures it inspired, cultures developed by publics and institutions that firmly establish The Scout as a civic emblem. Finally, this paper suggests The Scout belongs in national scholarly conversations regarding the appropriation of Indigenous bodies in space and place.

  • ©2010 Jennifer Elizabeth Guiliano an AMERICAN SPECTACLE: COLLEGE MASCOTS and the PERFORMANCE of TRADITION
    ©2010 Jennifer Elizabeth Guiliano AN AMERICAN SPECTACLE: COLLEGE MASCOTS AND THE PERFORMANCE OF TRADITION BY JENNIFER ELIZABETH GUILIANO DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2009 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Adrian Burgos, Chair Professor Frederick E. Hoxie Professor David R. Roediger Visiting Assistant Professor Michael Giardina ABSTRACT “An American Spectacle: College Mascots and the Performance of Tradition” seeks to understand how college football and its attendant events (termed here “An American Spectacle”) became a vehicle for cultural production by individuals and institutions in specifically raced, gendered, and classed ways. It asks what was the role of this “American Spectacle” in the articulation of individual and group identities at sites across the United States and outlines the individual aspects of the spectacle: bands and musical performances, newspaper writers and narratives of athletics, artistic production and commercial athletic identity, student publications and University identity, and the rituals of performance. In each instance the fundamental exploration is guided by consideration of how individuals and institutions constituted, transformed, and transmitted ideas of Indian mascotry within the spectacle of college football. This dissertation then asks these central questions: How and why were Native Americans represented as sports mascots? What cultural work did these images perform? How did these written narratives, visual images, and live performances create a tradition of performance that branded college football as “an American spectacle?” In answering these questions, “An American Spectacle” vividly illustrates a uniquely American story of race, class, identity, and community that argues for the framing of a complex set of institutions that are uniquely shaped by industrialism, commercialism, capital acquisition and expression, mass democracy, and the nation-state.
