OCT 29 I90« To the Board of World''s Fair Managers of Indiana: When, at your hands, I took up the work of Executive dommissioner, I did it without experience of having been con- nected with former expositions. I determined at the start that if industry, zeal, and work would accomplish the result on my part, that neither of these qualities should be lacking. I fully appreci- ated the honor of the position, as well as its great responsibilities. As time went by, my desire for success — that Indiana should occupy the place at this Exposition she was so eminently qualified ^nd entitled to occupy—the nearer the time approached that this was to be made to appear in a material, educational, and artistic wa3% the greater grow my responsibility and anxiety that we should succeed. Personal apologies I do not wish to make, except that now I see how many things might have been better done; and if mis- takes have been made on my part, they are only such as fall to the lot of mortal and might have fallen on any other person whom you honored with the position I hold. At the outset of my work the most difficult experience 1 had to encounter was to get our people to take steps toward having our State properly represented at the Exposition. My experience, though, has been the experience of many executive commi-ssioners or officers in charge of the interests of their several States. This is not said to fault-find. Thefact is recited only. Our people hav- ing had but one great exposition —the Centennial, education, as to the advantages growing out of expositions, is as necessary as education is upon any other subject. I have the following report to submit of exhibits made by the State and the citizens of our State: The State Building. The Board of Managers at the outset of their work decided that the State Building should be a headquarters for the use, comfort, and convenience of Indiana people, their friends and visitors. They also decided that in its construction it should be made, as far as practicable, a display of Indiana building material. That the building is admirably suited for the uses for which it (3) was built, can not be truthfully controverted by any one. The thousands of people who visit it daily, rest in its cool, large, and inviting rooms, and on its broad verandas, establishes this fact. For the uses it was intended there is not a State Building on the grounds that receives as much commendation as the Indiana Building. Its construction carries out as an exhibit the manufact- uring industries of our State in encaustic tile, pressed brick, plate glass, oolitic limestone, and hardwoods in a most artistic manner. The building is all that could be desired, and reflects credit upon the architect and the Board of Managers. Where Indiana State Exhibits May Be Found. Agriculture Exhibit in Agricultural Building.

    THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY Dr. Benjamin Rush's Journal of a Trip to Carlisle in 1784 YOU know I love to be in the way of adding to my stock of ideas upon all subjects," Benjamin Rush observed to his wife in a letter of 1787. An insatiable gatherer and recorder of facts and observations, Rush kept journals throughout his life—some continuously over many years, like his Commonplace Books recently edited by Dr. George W. Corner as part of Rush's Autobiography; others for brief periods or for special purposes, like his "Quack Recipe Book" in the Library Company of Philadelphia, his Scottish journal in the Indiana University Library, and the present little diary of a journey from Philadelphia to Carlisle and return in April, 1784. This diary consists of twenty-three duodecimo pages stitched at one edge, and is written entirely in Rush's hand. Owned by a suc- cession of Rush's descendants, it at length came to light in the sale of the Alexander Biddle Papers at the Parke-Bernet Galleries in New York in 1943. (It will be found listed in the Biddle Sale Cata- logue, Part I, lot 219.) It was then purchased by the late Josiah C. Trent, M.D., of Durham, North Carolina, who, when he learned that the present writer was investigating Rush's part in the founding of Dickinson College at Carlisle, very kindly furnished a photostatic 443 444 L. H. BUTTERFIELD October copy of the 1784 journal, together with permission to use it in what- ever way seemed best.

    Modernism in Bartholomew County, Indiana, from 1942

    NPS Form 10-900 USDI/NPS NRHP Registration Form (Rev. 8-86) OMB No. 1024-0018 MODERNISM IN BARTHOLOMEW COUNTY, INDIANA, FROM 1942 Page 1 United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Registration Form E. STATEMENT OF HISTORIC CONTEXTS INTRODUCTION This National Historic Landmark Theme Study, entitled “Modernism in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Design and Art in Bartholomew County, Indiana from 1942,” is a revision of an earlier study, “Modernism in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Design and Art in Bartholomew County, Indiana, 1942-1999.” The initial documentation was completed in 1999 and endorsed by the Landmarks Committee at its April 2000 meeting. It led to the designation of six Bartholomew County buildings as National Historic Landmarks in 2000 and 2001 First Christian Church (Eliel Saarinen, 1942; NHL, 2001), the Irwin Union Bank and Trust (Eero Saarinen, 1954; NHL, 2000), the Miller House (Eero Saarinen, 1955; NHL, 2000), the Mabel McDowell School (John Carl Warnecke, 1960; NHL, 2001), North Christian Church (Eero Saarinen, 1964; NHL, 2000) and First Baptist Church (Harry Weese, 1965; NHL, 2000). No fewer than ninety-five other built works of architecture or landscape architecture by major American architects in Columbus and greater Bartholomew County were included in the study, plus many renovations and an extensive number of unbuilt projects. In 2007, a request to lengthen the period of significance for the theme study as it specifically relates to the registration requirements for properties, from 1965 to 1973, was accepted by the NHL program and the original study was revised to define a more natural cut-off date with regard to both Modern design trends and the pace of Bartholomew County’s cycles of new construction.

    The History of Human Disturbance in Forest Ecosystems of Southern Indiana

    THE HISTORY OF HUMAN DISTURBANCE IN FOREST ECOSYSTEMS OF SOUTHERN INDIANA Michael A. Jenkins1 Abstract.—The forests of southern Indiana have been shaped and defined by anthropogenic disturbance. Native Americans influenced composition and structure through land clearing and burning, but the scale and rate of human disturbance intensified with European settlement. Sustained settlement led to the loss of forest land to agriculture and livestock grazing. Forests were also harvested to meet the needs of a growing population. The unglaciated hills of south-central Indiana proved unsuitable for agriculture, and during the Great Depression degraded lands were abandoned and ultimately incorporated into state and national forests. Today, forest cover has returned to these lands, but vegetation communities still bear the mark of centuries of human disturbance. INTRODUCTION derived soils. As discussed below, the rugged The wide expanse of hardwood forest in southern topography of this region ultimately led to the Indiana is perhaps the region’s most defining feature. abandonment of agriculture and subsequent succession When considered in the context of the agricultural to the forests we see today.

Given are the non-New Jersey cities and the railroads which handled the train or through cars. In many cases the name of the train is also given.
