The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation abraham lincoln presidential library AnnualFoundation Report July 1, 2014 ‒ June 30, 2015FY 15 The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation gratefully acknowledges the many individuals and organizations whose contributions helped to support the educational and cultural programming of the Abraham Lincoln Presi- dential Library and Museum during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015. Their extraordinary generosity allows the Foundation to foster Lincoln scholar- ship through the acquisition and publication of documentary materials relating to Lincoln and his era; and to promote a greater appreciation of history through exhibits, conferences, publications, online services, and other activities designed to promote historical literacy.

Among those traveling with the Lincoln’s past fiscal year allows us was a Frenchman named Adolphe Pineton, Marquis de Chambrun, an attorney who had married into the Lafayette to continue to advance family and secured a minor diplomatic post to observe the the legacy of our nation’s progress of the Civil War. Upon seeing the grand home of the father of the nation, Chambrun exclaimed “Mount Vernon, greatest President—so Wayne Whalen with its memories of Washington, and Springfield, with those that future generations of your own home—revolutionary and civil war—will be equally honored in America.” Upon hearing this Mr. Lincoln quietly offered, “Springfield, how happy I shall be four can have their own “new years hence to return there in peace and tranquility!” Sadly the President would live beginning” to the legacy only another six days before being assassinated by John Wilkes Booth and the happiness that had swept the North following Lee’s surrender was quickly replaced by shock and of Abraham Lincoln. anguish. When we look back over the various anniversaries we have already celebrated in 2015 and those yet to come we are struck with the idea that 1865 was a year of emotional extremes. Many across the country pondered with quiet reflection the message of the 2nd Inaugural Address, the rage and despair over the assassination of President Lincoln, and the relief and happiness over the ending of the Civil War. This December we will celebrate the ratification of the 13th Amendment which insured that “neither slavery nor involuntary servitude…shall exist within the United States.” We can imagine that 150 years ago this event was accompanied by an overwhelming sense of a new beginning. The war that had divided the nation was over and the greatest cause of that division, slavery, would be permanently eradicated from our borders. The support from the individuals, families, corporations and foundations that we have received over the past fiscal year allows us to continue to advance the legacy of our At the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the passing of Abraham Lincoln nation’s greatest President—so that future generations can have on April 15: (from left) Ted Flickinger, IHPA Trustee; William Shepherd and their own “new beginning” to the legacy of Abraham Lincoln.

During the Fiscal Year we accomplished an increase in Net Worth of over $100,000. Our important revenue sources remain donations from individuals, memberships, corporations and foundations and the Lincoln Leadership Prize Event. Royalties from the Gift Store and Restaurant operations provide support for the Library & Museum, as 100% of the revenue is returned for use in programming, exhibits, theater, education, etc. In addition the Foundation provided direct financial support to the Library & Museum through grants, sponsorships and restricted donations. Sarah Phalen The Taper Collection expense continues to be reduced and the Library & Museum have displayed many Taper artifacts throughout the year. Several Taper artifacts were also loaned to other museums. Our investment asset base is very conservatively managed with a mandate to hold 70% of our assets in bonds and short term secure instruments and 30% in diversified equities. This mix has done well in producing consistent returns with a minimum of risk and volatility over the past several years. For Fiscal Year 2015 our investment program showed a significant increase in the value of our investment assets. We appreciate the loyalty, trust, and support from our many members, donors, and supporters at all levels. Without you, we would be unable to provide the essential financial support to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum.

  • Commencement
    COMMENCEMENT University of Wisconsin-Whitewater December 19, 2020 More than 150 years ago, on April 21, 1868, the state’s second normal school opened its doors to the first class of 48 students and nine faculty members. A progressive spirit guided the development of the institution as it evolved from a normal school, which trained teachers for one-room schools, to Whitewater State Teachers College (1927), Wisconsin State College-Whitewater (1951), Wisconsin State University-Whitewater (1964) and as a member of the 13 four-year institutions in the University of Wisconsin System (1971). Today, UW-Whitewater is a leading comprehensive university serving approximately 11,842 full- and part-time students with 50 undergraduate majors, 13 master’s degree programs, one doctoral degree and one education specialist degree in the colleges of Arts and Communication, Business and Economics, Education and Professional Studies, Integrated Studies, and Letters and Sciences. The university awards more than 2,700 degrees every year. Throughout its history, UW-Whitewater has produced graduates who have actively contributed to the growth of the state and nation. Student learning is the paramount focus of the university’s programs and services. The university takes pride in its regional leadership, national presence and global vision. Many of its academic programs are among the best in the country. 1 Student Speaker Brian Martinez For Brian Martinez, becoming a Warhawk meant finding a place to plant roots. When he visited campus as a transfer student from another Wisconsin university, UW-Whitewater felt like an inclusive family, where everyone belonged — a place that put people first.

A global pandemic and resulting economic instability have sown tremendous uncertainty for now and for the future. Record- breaking natural disasters—hurricanes, floods, and wildfires—have devastated communities resulting in deep personal suffering. Meanwhile, we have entered the decisive decade for our Earth’s climate—with just ten years to halve global emissions to meet the goals set by the Paris Agreement before we cause irreparable damage to our planet and all life it supports. In spite of these immense challenges, when I reflect on this past year I am inspired by the resilience and hope we’ve experienced at Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI). This is evidenced through impact made possible by the enduring support of our donors and tenacious partnership of other NGOs, companies, cities, states, and countries working together to drive a clean, prosperous, and secure low-carbon future.
