HISTORICAL SKETCH The Indianapolis Literary Club was organized on 10 January 1877, at the home of John D. Howland, who became the club’s first president. The stated purpose of the club is the pursuit of ‘social, literary, and aesthetic culture.’ Informally, the club has acted as a meeting place for a number of the city’s leaders from various professions. Membership lists indicate that the club has continued this function throughout its history and into the present. A usual meeting consists of the president introducing the speaker, a club member, who presents an original paper on the topic of his choice; then a discussion takes place. The only business handled by the club as a whole is the election of new members (still done with a box of white and black balls) and officers. Most officers change yearly, but secretaries have usually served for decades. The officers hold an annual meeting in June at which most club business is handled. Over the years, minor changes have occurred. The club now meets on the first and third Monday of the month rather than on every Monday. Membership was originally one hundred; now it is one hundred fifty. Membership is still restricted to men, and is by invitation only, after one ‘reading’ (formerly three). The club’s ranks have always been filled with notable Indianapolis residents; the list has included such names as Albert J. Beveridge, Charles W. Fairbanks, Walter Q. Gresham, Benjamin Harrison, Thomas A. Hendricks, Daniel Wait Howe, Meredith Nicholson, George and Allen Clowes, James Whitcomb Riley, Booth Tarkington, and Lew Wallace. The club does not undertake any activities beyond the regular meetings and dinners, although its members are involved individually in a number of service organizations. The club has had a small endowment, but is mainly supported by modest yearly dues. Over the years it has met in a number of places, including in the more recent past the D.A.R. chapter house on Pennsylvania Street, the Propylaeum, the 38th Street branch of the Merchants Bank, the Robertson Library at Butler University, and now Park Tudor School. Dating back to the period when it had a room of its own, the club owns about ten paintings by artists of the Indiana School, and two Piranesi engravings. The paintings and engravings are on loan to the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the Columbia Club. The club also owned a number of historical chairs, however, it sold many of them at an auction in 1993. Until recently, essays by club members were considered the property of the author, and copies were not kept with the records. However, the group is currently working to donate most of the papers to the Indiana Historical Society. Some of the papers were deposited at the Indiana State Library and the Indianapolis Public Library as well. Sources: Material in collection. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE This collection includes minutes, correspondence, financial papers, essays, newspaper clippings, memorials to deceased members, lantern slides, card files, and a small number of photographs.

    Social Life and Social Services in Indianapolis Networks During the Gilded Age and Progressive Era KATHERINE BADERTSCHER ABSTRACT: In late nineteenth-century Indianapolis, a group of citizens, united by social networks, dominated the gov- ernance and management of the city’s social services for several decades. The tight-knit network of men and women worked together at the center of social and philanthropic life. Since its inception in 1879, the Charity Organization Society of Indianapolis (COS) wielded virtual control over social welfare—making it one of the most progressive and powerful philanthropic organizations in the country. An influ- ential coterie of men and women governed, donated to, and volunteered for the COS and many of its sub-agencies. Then, as now, social networks are as essential for us to understand as social entrepreneurs and charismatic leaders. KEYWORDS: Charity Organization Society; social networks; social life; Progressive Era; Indianapolis; philanthropy n nineteenth-century Indianapolis, a group of citizens, united by social Inetworks, dominated the governance and management of the city’s social services for several decades.

    IF WE BUILD IT / THEY WILL COME Working to inspire good design through special events, learning sessions and networking opportunities 2011 NETWORKING / SPECIAL EVENTS Get involved in AIA Indianapolis by attending monthly networking programs, special presentations and events the second Thursday of each month at 5 p.m. AIA Indianapolis meets at interesting venues throughout the Indianapolis metro area. Check out upcoming events at www.aiaindychapter.org. Photo by Betsy Mader Photography “If we build it, they will come.” Yes, the 2010 theme is a take on the famous phrase from the movie, “Field of Dreams,” but it seemed so fitting to set the tone for AIA Indianapolis’ year, as we worked to engage and attract members, get sponsors more involved and leverage programs that would in- spire and encourage great design. In order to meet those goals, the AIA Indianapolis Board of Directors designed a new format with exciting programs and events that members young and old would find interesting, engaging and even entertaining. Immediately following board meetings (on the second Thursday of every month), AIA Indianapolis hosted a program, special event and social networking hour for members and sponsors. This new format took us on the road reminding us of the architectural gems of Indianapolis, such as the Indianapolis War Memorial, the IMA, and the new JW Marriott Hotel and introduced us to de- sign concepts outside our architectural industry, such as the IndyCar Delta Wing. We also recognized and celebrated the design excellence and creativity of our membership with the Architect’s Home Tour and Habitat for Humanity Design Competition.

  • Counter-Terrorism and the Law
    WINTER 2009 IU Indianapolis LAW Alumni Magazine & Dean’s Report Defending the Homeland: Counter-terrorism and the Law INDIANA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW – INDIANAPOLIS Message from the Dean I AM PLEASED TO PRESENT THE WINTER ISSUE of the IU Law–Indianapolis Alumni Magazine and Dean’s Report. The fall semester has been a busy one at the law school, as this magazine attests. In the following pages, you will read about the groundbreaking counter-terrorism simulation that took place at the school in October as part of Professor Shawn Boyne’s Seminar in National Security Law. During the simulation, students played the roles of government officials responding to simulated terrorist attacks across the country and right here in Indianapolis. In January, WFYI, the local PBS affiliate, will air a documentary about this event. The magazine also includes information about the new legal clinic in Eldoret, Kenya, that our school has helped to establish and continues to support. I had the honor of visiting the clinic in October and am in awe of what has been accomplished there in a very short time. You will also read about and see photos of the recent Board of Visitors Reception at the school, hosted by law school alumnus, and former U.S. Vice President, Dan Quayle. We had a packed house for the event that brought many friends back to the school to visit and reminisce. I also want to take a moment to remember our beloved Professor Mary Harter Mitchell, whose sudden and untimely passing in November of this year leaves a tremendous void in our law school family.

  • Choosing the Right Path
    MAGAZINE SPRING 2015 The Choosing the right path BUTLER With every pedagogical and strategic decision we make at UNIVERSITY Butler University, we must ask ourselves a crucial question: What will the future of learning look like? Advances in technological quality and access; shifting A MESSAGE demographics; rising educational-delivery costs and student-debt loads; nationwide cuts in public-university from funding; a growing movement among bright young people PRESIDENT to skip the college experience; and the promise of micro- credentialing—among other factors—have forced American JAMES M. universities to recognize that undergraduate education is DANKO in the midst of a profound transformation from which there will be no return. Harvard Professor Clayton Christensen, an expert in disruptive innovation, has asserted that half of all American universities may be bankrupt by 2028. While I view this estimate as high, I do believe that 20 percent is a reasonable prediction. However, I also know that Butler is exceptionally well prepared for this sea change in higher education. As we continue to make thoughtful decisions as a collaborative community, we are ensuring that Butler not only survives for many generations to come, but thrives. In the approaching decades, there will be an ongoing demand among young people and their families for high-quality, traditional, residential undergraduate education. Although the number of schools that offer this campus experience may shrink, those who do it best—including Butler—will succeed. Accordingly, in our Butler 2020 Strategic Plan, we are protecting our University’s unique character by investing in the attributes that define it: outstanding academics within a caring campus community; faculty who are accessible to their students; a commitment to integrate the liberal arts with professional education; learning that emphasizes global perspectives, critical thinking, and meaningful volunteerism; and curricular and extra-curricular programs that prepare graduates for lives of purpose in an increasingly complex world.

Badertscher Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, Indiana University May 2015 Accepted by the Graduate Faculty, Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ______________________________ Dwight F. Burlingame, Ph.D., Chair Doctoral Committee ______________________________ Robert G. Barrows, Ph.D. March 6, 2015 ______________________________ Nancy Marie Robertson, Ph.D. ______________________________ Philip V. Scarpino, Ph.D. ii Acknowledgments My thanks begin with my doctoral committee. Dwight Burlingame advised me throughout my entire program, chose the perfect readings for me in our dissertation seminar, helped me shape the project, and read each chapter promptly and thoughtfully. His steadfast belief in my scholarship and his infinite kindness have been invaluable. Phil Scarpino and Bob Barrows led the seminars during which my dissertation idea took shape. Nancy Robertson challenged me to look at the work from many different angles and suggested a veritable treasure trove of scholarship upon which to draw. All their questions, comments, guidance, and encouragement have helped my work more than mere words can express. My colleagues in the doctoral program and students in the undergraduate program provided unwavering support as I lovingly talked about my research, “my organization,” and “my time period.” I especially thank Barbara Duffy, who chose the Charity Organization Society of Indianapolis (1879-1883) for her History of Philanthropy doctoral seminar research project. I enjoyed talking about “our women,” sharing our emerging ideas, swapping sources, and basking in one another’s “Eureka!” moments as we made one connection after another.
