THE COVER ATOP " THE HILL," among century-old elms and within nodding dis- tance of Lake Mendota, stands BASCOM HALL, its stone walls pitted and patinated. Bascom, once known as " Main " and later as " University Hall," is one of the oldest buildings on the University of Wisconsin Campus. The rambling structure faces down the elm-vistaed " Hill" and milelong State Street, at the end of which is situated the magnificent State Capitol and Madison's busy Square. Bascom's existence was en- dangered in 1916 when its dome was completely destroyed by fire. It continues to house the offices of the President, of some of the faculty, and a group of classrooms. In recognition of the University's centennial year, venerable Bascom Hall is pictured on the cover. " Chats with the Editor" contains information relating to the Centennial. WISCONSIN MAGAZINE of HISTORY ^S^ Volume 32 June 1949 Number 4 Chats with the Editor A S THIS ISSUE goes to press, the observance of the one hundredth i-k birthday of our State University comes to its official close. JL JL Opened February 5, 1849, in the old Female Academy of Madison, with twenty-odd students preparing for collegiate studies, . the institution has fulfilled the most sanguine dreams UntversttyrT . , i • i 1 ^ . or its rounders and has taken its place among the Centennial . , , ,. ... r , . , , . T nations leading institutions or higher learning. It stands today, in the words of its centennial slogan, " Rooted in the past, serving the present, forming the future." The year has been a memorable one for the University com- munity and for its friends all over the State. The National Edu- cational Conference on "Higher Education in America," attended by leading educators from all over the nation, appropriately opened a year of rich and varied features. The Curti and Carstensen Cen- tennial history of the University has made a notable contribution to our understanding of the evolution of higher education in this country. A number of learned societies, including anatomists, agronomists, physicists, chemical engineers, mathematicians, geo- graphers, historians, ornithologists, business educators, political scientists, and the National Society of Phi Beta Kappa, have met or are still to meet at Madison in honor of the University's Cen- tennial. Fourteen symposia have been held and two more are scheduled, devoted to such subjects as the burning of pulverized coal and the generation and utilization of high pressure steam, the frontiers of housing, steroid hormones, combustion flame and 385 386 CHATS WITH THE EDITOR [June explosion phenomena, the humanities in American society, signifi- cant history, labor-management relations, science and civilization, co-curricular activities on the college campus, American regionalism, the inter-relation of law and the American economy, labor rela- tions and social security, organic chemistry, the conservation of Wisconsin's natural resources, education, and plant growth sub- stances. Special art exhibits included a survey of art techniques, the State centennial exhibition of contemporary Wisconsin art, decorative art in Wisconsin, the annual student art show, the annual rural art show, the work of the new artist-in-residence, Aaron Bohrod, and the University's own art collection, climaxed by the great show of old masterpieces from the Metropolitan Mu- seum of Art. Concerts by the New York Philharmonic with Leopold Stokowski conducting, Fritz Kreisler, Florence Quartararo, Todd Duncan, Gregor Piatigorsky, Vladimir Horowitz, and Burl Ives have brought an unusually rich offering to the campus in the field of music. The theater program has been featured by the world-premier performance of " I Know My Love " starring the Lunts, Margaret Webster's productions of "Hamlet" and "Mac- beth," and "Man and Superman" with Maurice Evans. The Founders Day Banquet and the Centennial Dinner were outstand- ing events, and special exhibits, including those on the history of the University prepared by the Society, have enriched the campus year. , : • j ,. j •• A centennial is always a good time for the taking of stock, and there is ample cause indeed, despite ever-present budget difficulties and building problems, for the people of Wisconsin and the leaders of the University to take satisfaction at the progress of the University in its first century. The character and richness of the centennial observance has made the centennial year 1948-49 par- ticularly memorable in the University's history, and should be a source of genuine gratification to Professor William H. Kiekhofer whose successful labors as chairman of the Centennial Committee have climaxed his years of devoted service to the University of his native State. 1949] CHATS WITH THE EDITOR 387 THE SOCIETY will meet this fall on the Lawrence College Campus at Appleton, September 9-11. Two dormitories will be turned over to the Society for living quarters. College dining facilities will serve the meals. Meetings will be in the . Conservatory of Music and the famous and beauti- ful memorial chapel. With a campus which fronts on the main street of modern Appleton and backs on the historic Fox River, Lawrence College, which like the Society is older than the State, offers most attractive facilities for our meeting. An exceptionally strong program is being arranged, and everything points to a notable meeting. Tennis courts and the college pool will be available for the more athletically minded. Walks about the lovely campus on both sides of the river will attract others. Vacations will be over. The September dates hold the probability of avoiding the extreme heat which marked our Manitowoc meet- ing two years ago. Be sure to mark the dates now: September 9—11. ONE OF THE important provisions effecting historical work in the State enacted so far by the 1949 Legislature permits the estab- lishment of local or regional depositories for the preservation of count Jy and local records. It expands the legal powers Local , . t t , . , . HI p i of county and local historical societies to enable them to accept custody of such records. It authorizes school, village, town, municipality, city, and county officers to offer, and the State through this Society to accept for preservation title to such non-current records as in the Society's judgment are of permanent historical value and are no longer needed for adminis- trative purposes. It is then mandatory upon this Society, wherever possible, to place such records in the custody of a proper local depository. This depository may be the local historical society, the county historian, a public library, public museum, "or similar agency or institution in the area of origin." Title is placed in the Society simply to insure continuity of responsibility for records of permanent historical value against the demise of a local his- torical society, the abolition of the office of a county historian, 388 CHATS WITH THE EDITOR [June or the closing of some library or museum in whose hands such records had been placed. It was made clear by the Society from the outset that the whole intent was to keep the records available and safe in the area to which they were of most interest. We wish to see those records of permanent interest preserved. We wish to see them preserved locally. We wanted legislation to permit the establishment of a records preservation system on the county and local level to match that which we established two years ago on the State level. Now we have it. There is nothing mandatory about the act. It is purely per- missive. This leaves a heavy responsibility on those interested in history at the local level to see that valuable records are not de- stroyed but are made available to a local depository under the provisions of this act. All too frequently the demands for addi- tional filing space cause house-cleanings in governmental offices. All too frequently in such cases the wheat is discarded with the chaff. Now, working with local societies and other depositories, and with local officials, we may hope to see such records pre- served in the hands of interested local groups. The previously existing legal obstacles to this procedure have been cleared away. Local vigilance to see that valuable records are not destroyed, local responsibility to see that they are cared for in local depositories after their usefulness to local officials is terminated are the keys to the success of this program. REVAMPING THE LAW to fit contemporary conditions, the 1949 Legislature has also designated the Society as the State's public documents depository and exchange agent.

    SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES. Monday, October 10, 1910. The court met pursuant to law. Present: Mr. Justice Harlan, Mr. Justice White, Mr. Justice McKenna, Mr. Justice Holmes, Mr. Justice Day, Mr. Justice Lurton, and Mr. Justice Hughes. Mr. Justice Harlan, Presiding Justice, said: "Gentlemen of the Bar: Since the last term the Honorable Charles Evans Hughes has been appointed an associate justice of this court to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Justice Brewer. Mr. Hughes is present and prepared to take the required oath of office. The court extends a most cordial welcome to the new member. The clerk will read his commission and administer the oath." The clerk then read the commission and Mr. Hughes took the oath of office and was escorted by the marshal to his seat on the bench. Mr. Justice Harlan continued: "Gentlemen of the Bar: Since its last session this court has sus- tained a very great loss. The earthly career of the Chief Justice has been closed by death. This sad event occurred on the 4th day of Juty of the present year at his summer residence, after nearly twenty- three years of continuous and distinguished service on this bench. He met the final summons with that calmness of spirit and compo- sure of mind that marked his whole life. From his early manhood he walked in the good way, uprightly before God and his fellow-men, and passed from this life into the life be}T ond the grave in the con- fident belief, I doubt not, that the Maker and Ruler of the Earth ordereth all things aright.

Introduction On March 12, 2020, Governor Tony Evers issued Executive Order 72, declaring a pub- lic health emergency due to the spread of the novel COVID-19 coronavirus. The order directs various state agencies to respond to the emergency and authorizes the adjutant general of the Wisconsin National Guard to activate members of the Guard to assist in the state’s response. Although activations of the Wisconsin National Guard are common, gubernatorial activations of the Guard for public health emergencies are rare. This report provides information about the Wisconsin National Guard and its activa- tions by current and past governors. First, the report describes what the Wisconsin Na- tional Guard is and how it differs from the other military branches of the United States. Next, the report discusses the statutes that govern the authority of the governor and the president to call the National Guard into action, the adjutant general’s role relative to the National Guard, and what National Guard activation means for other laws governing the state. Finally, the report describes the types of missions the National Guard may be called upon to complete, and provides examples and statistics on Wisconsin National Guard activations since 1965.

Abstract The collection holds correspondence and documents which are primarily the papers of the Philadelphia antiquarian collector John A. McAllister, but it includes some additional material relating to his family and their optical business. As McAllister was an active collector of autograph letters, there are items from many of the important names in nineteenth‐century politics, culture, religion, and the military, including members of the Peale family and other Philadelphians. A large component of the collection relates to McAllister’s acquisition methods, so there are letters from private and institutional collectors of Americana in other parts of the country as well as with working historians such as Benson J. Lossing. Much of the collection focuses on the American Civil War (1861‐1865); the single literary item is a manuscript by Edgar Allan Poe. Administrative Information Restrictions to Access The collection is open to researchers. It is on deposit at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and should be accessed through the Society’s reading room at 1300 Locust Street, Philadelphia, PA.

  • THE TRIUMPH of LIBERALISM in WISCONSIN, 1846-1860 B
    ABSTRACT “THE EXTRAORDINARY FORCE AND SUCCESS OF INDIVIDUAL ENTERPRISE,” THE TRIUMPH OF LIBERALISM IN WISCONSIN, 1846-1860 by John Robert Herman Using legislative debates and print media, this thesis explores how voters in Wisconsin interpreted and then fully embraced liberal ideology during the mid-nineteenth century. In the span of less than two years between 1854 and 1855, the Republican Party emerged from non-existence to become the dominant party in Wisconsin. Widespread antislavery sentiment in the electorate contributed to the success of the Republican Party. But an antislavery party with broad appeal only emerged after Wisconsinites possessed a unified self-perception as uniquely progressive in their economy and government. Wisconsinites saw themselves as freer, more progressive, and more virtuous than people anywhere else. In turn, they believed that anything that individuals did out of their own economic self- interest was not only acceptable, but also aided in fostering an ordered and virtuous society. The Republican Party in Wisconsin emerged as voters looked for a northern party to protect and promote liberal ideals. “THE EXTRAORDINARY FORCE AND SUCCESS OF INDIVIDUAL ENTERPRISE,” THE TRIUMPH OF LIBERALISM IN WISCONSIN, 1846-1860 A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of History by John Robert Herman Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2014 Advisor_______________________ Andrew R.L.

My reason or excuse, whichever it may be, is this: In talking with the younger members of the bar of the state I have often been forcibly struck with the fact that many of them had little or no idea of the remarkable men who sat upon the supreme bench during the early years of the state, nor of the heated controversies, political as well as legal, in which the court and its judges were in one way or another involved during those years. With the idea of doing something to dispel this ignorance, I began to prepare a paper covering the early history of the court, intending to publish it in pam phlet form.
