    The Origins of President Bryan’s Medical School Walter J. Duly” ~ The nineteenth century was a period of rapid advancement in medical science. American physicians responded by striving to improve the practice of medicine and the education of future generations of practitioners. In Indiana as elsewhere, the need to adopt higher stan- dards of medical education was widely recognized. How to do it was another matter, one that pitted university officers and medical prac- titioners against each other in a contest that would determine whether medical education in the state would continue to be owned and con- trolled by independent physicians or would fall under the purview of universities. And, if university educators, which of the state’s two major institutions of higher education, both of which were vying for the honor, Indiana or Purdue, would prevail? The contest was settled in 1908 with the absorption of several institutions into the Indiana University system, an outcome that was made possible by the influ- ence of a strong current of reform, locally and nationally, as well as by the vision and determination of such key leaders as Indiana Uni- versity President William Lowe Bryan and physiciadeducator Alli- son Maxwell. The Indiana territorial legislature had authorized a medical department for the new college in Vincennes in 1807. That depart- ment never developed. The state’s first medical school, established in New Albany in 1833, seems to have been little more than a diplo- ma mill. In the decades that followed, twenty-four medical

  • How a Scandal Helped Change IU Forever PLUS IU's Most Influential Presidents & Honoring the Contributions Minorities & Women Have Made to the University
    IU BICENTENNIAL SPECIAL How a Scandal Helped Change IU Forever PLUS IU's Most Influential Presidents & Honoring the Contributions Minorities & Women Have Made to the University By Carmen Siering Founded on January 20, 1820, as the State Seminary, Indiana University has grown from a one-building institution of learning—where a dozen young men were taught the classics by a single professor, Baynard Rush Hall—to a world-class research institution with more than 94,000 students and more than 21,000 faculty and staff on campuses in Bloomington and across the state. The bicentennial was being discussed as early as 2007—the year Michael A. McRobbie became president. But planning for this one-time-only celebration of the university’s first 200 years kicked into high gear in 2015. That’s the year James Capshew was hired as the official university historian, and the Office of the Bicentennial, directed by Kelly Kish, began focusing on a myriad of Bloomington-based and statewide projects to coincide with the anniversary. A website, magazine, blogs, podcasts, videos, oral histories—a true multiplicity of media representations—are An 1836 drawing of the First College Building, located at Seminary Square, published all being utilized to disseminate the gathered research. And in The Indiana Gazetteer, or Topographical Dictionary of The State of Indiana in 1850. while there is still plenty that remains murky—meaning there is Photo courtesy of IU Archives still plenty for future historians to uncover and debate—the years The Moss Killers, 1884.

  • Anniversary Bloomington United Presbyterian Church
    1833 175 th Anniversary 9th and College: 1871-1951 2008 Bloomington United Presbyterian Church Bloomington UPC Today: 2 nd and Eastside, since 1952 1 WHEN IT ALL BEGAN The year was not just any year, 1833. The people, their cause, their church that is our church, their chosen town that is our town, the university that they helped nurture from infancy, all are what we celebrate with this 175 th anniversary of the founding of what we know and cherish now as United Presbyterian Church, 2 nd and Eastside streets, Bloomington. Saturday, Sept. 7, 1833, fourteen members and two elders participated in the charter meeting for the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church in downtown Bloomington. Downtown was Bloomington. The city’s history says Bloomington began in 1818 when a public square – 92 yards on each side, surrounding streets 27½ yards wide – was laid out in a wheat field. By January 1819, 30 families had bought lots at public auction and taken up residence. Stores, taverns and industries, the first log courthouse with a library next door, all were in place by 1821, and the southside lot designated by federal action for establishment of an institution of public instruction, Seminary Square, was being readied for business. Indiana Seminary, with 12 students and one teacher, opened in 1825 and became Indiana College in 1829. The next year, 1830, Tom Lincoln moved his family with 21-year-old son Abraham from less than 100 miles from Bloomington in southern Indiana to Illinois. And then came 1833. On Jan. 1, the word “Hoosier” was first used in print as a name for Indiana residents.

To a peculiar degree the Indiana milieu was created to inspire love. It has the unspoiled generosity, the frankness, the toil, the taciturn courage and the exasperating ineptness of natural man himself. One listens to the winds sighing through beeches, or plods through autumnal dri::=le with ga:;e divided between the cracks ofthe Board Walk and that miraculous personal vision that for no two people is produced alike, whether it be conjuredfrom books, or from inner song, or from liquor, orfrom a co-ed's smile or from all together. Because ofthis one berates Indiana and loves her doggedly. -George Shively, 19252 Presidential timber stood tall on the ground at the verdant campus of Indiana University (IU) in June 1920.
