  • Historical Walking Tour Old Quadrangle Ball State University
    Historical Walking Tour Old Quadrangle Ball State University History of the Old Quadrangle The story of Ball State began in the 1890s, when a group of local businessmen decided that a college was needed in Muncie to counteract the effects of industrialization on the city. These entrepreneurs bought approximately one hundred acres in the area that became known as Normal City, and they divided most of it into lots for homes. Near the center of the tract, ten acres bounded by McKinley Avenue, Jarret Street, Talley Street, and Reeves Avenue (now University Avenue) were reserved for the college, known originally as Eastern Indiana Normal University. Anyone who purchased a lot in the development received two free semesters at the school, and half of the money raised by the lot sales was earmarked for campus improvements. 1 The Administration Building (1898) and Forest Hall (1902), a dormitory, were constructed to house the university, but the school closed in 1902 due to low enrollment and financial difficulties. Several other colleges were opened on the site in the following years, but all quickly failed. In 1918 the five Ball brothers, who were local industrialists, purchased the foreclosed school at an auction and presented it, along with sixty acres, to the State of Indiana. The school reopened that same year as the Eastern Division of the Indiana State Normal School in Terre Haute. In 1922 the school's name changed to Ball Teachers College to honor the generosity of the Ball brothers. A great campaign of building began shortly thereafter, centered around the Quadrangle and financed largely by the Ball family.

  • Tributes to the Past, Present, and Future: Confederate Memorialization in Virginia, 1914-1919 Thomas R. Seabrook Thesis Submitte
    Tributes to the Past, Present, and Future: Confederate Memorialization in Virginia, 1914-1919 Thomas R. Seabrook Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In History Paul D. Quigley, Chair Kathleen W. Jones David P. Cline 30 April 2015 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Confederacy; Monuments; Memorials; Memorialization; Virginia; 1910s; Civil War; World War I Copyright 2015 by Thomas R. Seabrook Tributes to the Past, Present, and Future: Confederate Memorialization in Virginia, 1914-1919 Thomas R. Seabrook ABSTRACT Between 1914 and 1919, elite white people erected monuments across Virginia, permanently transforming the landscape of their communities with memorials to the Confederacy. Why did these Confederate memorialists continue to build monuments to a conflict their side had lost half a century earlier? This thesis examines this question to extend the study of the Lost Cause past the traditional stopping date of the Civil War semicentennial in 1915 and to add to the study of memorialization as a historical process. Studying the design and language of monuments as well as dedication orations and newspaper coverage of unveiling ceremonies, this thesis focuses on Virginia’s Confederate memorials to provide a case study for the whole South. Memorialization is always an act of the present as much as an honoring of the past. Elite white Virginians built memorials to speak to their contemporaries at the same time they claimed to speak for them. Memorialists turned to the Confederacy for support in an effort to maintain their status at the top of post-Reconstruction Southern society.
