Volume 39 Number 3 Spring, 1956 VOLUME 39 NUMBER 3 SPRING, 1956 I 1. A little community of log cabins in southwestern Dunn County, known as Weston, boasted a traveling library station in 1897. Farm houses, post offices, country stores, and a school room bartered space for tra­ veling book collections that relieved some of the tedi- ON THE COVER ousness of farm making. Here, too, the schoolteacher ^'prettied-up*' her cabined schoolroom with paper-chain drapes at the windows, and one day lined-up her pupils to face a mysterious camera. This picture reveals the newness of the north country, an outpost of Wisconsin's white pine industry.

  • The Wisconsin Idea: the Vision That Made Wisconsin Famous
    1 “Trying to plan for the future without a sense of the past is like trying to plant cut flowers” --Daniel Boorstin, historian and Librarian of Congress The Wisconsin Idea: The Vision that Made Wisconsin Famous Introduction To the practitioners who comprise UW-Madison’s Community Partnerships and Outreach (CPO) Staff Network, the Wisconsin Idea is at the heart of their day-to-day work with communities in Wisconsin and beyond. But the original meaning of the Wisconsin Idea has faded over time, replaced by a generic public service mandate. (1) “The Boundaries of the University are the Boundaries of the State” The “Year of the Wisconsin Idea” offers us an opportunity to reflect on how the Wisconsin Idea guides our practice. We chose to explore the history of the emergence of the Wisconsin Idea in an attempt to renew and clarify our vision for why and how we engage with the public to address pressing issues. It turns out that the history of the University’s engagement with the State offers much more relevant guidance than we would have imagined. The values that drove the founders of the WI Idea—truth, self- governance, egalitarianism, integrity, trust and social capital—are the same values that represent effective, democratic partnerships today. It’s evident in our practice, and now it’s evident in our history as well, thanks to the work of Gwen Drury, Ph.D. student in Educational Policy and Leadership Analysis at UW-Madison. The rich history she details here brings us closer to our best practices—equitable, reciprocal engagement in which knowledge is co-created by the University and communities working together on issues that matter to all of us.

    October 10, 2019 Chancellor Rebecca Blank Office of the Chancellor 161 Bascom Hall 500 Lincoln Drive Madison, WI 53706 RE: Student Free Speech and Safety Concerns Dear Chancellor Blank, I am writing to you today regarding a very troubling event that took place this past Wednesday on your campus and which has been widely reported in local and online media. As reported by the Wisconsin State Journal, a UW-Madison student was video-taped defacing the windows of the UW-Madison College Republicans’ office on campus with demeaning signs containing highly-charged, visceral language which were seemingly meant to intimidate and cause a disturbance. Additionally, the student engaging in this behavior was doing so while blaring a song on her phone entitled “FDT” (F*** Donald Trump) by rapper YG which, in addition to explicit language, contain inferences towards the harming of the President of the United States. Further, according to the Wisconsin State Journal article reporting the matter, when a university employee approached the student requesting that she please stop, the student replied with an expletive and aggressive language and refused to stop. The article continues, “Two female students were in the office during the duration of the [events] and Christens said they feared for their safety, afraid to leave because of the demonstrator’s aggressive behavior.” As a result of these events, I am requesting a thorough investigation into this matter by you, the UW’s Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards, and the UW Police Department. Additionally, I request that you provide me – consistent with all laws and regulations - with a complete report as to the process UW will be using to investigate and respond, findings from the investigation, including any disciplinary actions resulting therefrom, as well as any modifications and/or clarifications to UW’s campus free speech policy and any anti-intimidation and anti- harassment policy.

Glass, bishop of Salt Lake City, Utah, from 1915 until 1926, was the last Vincentian to be appointed a bishop in the continen- tal United States and the first since 1868. "How or why a relatively obscure pastor in Los Angeles was given that post is not clear."' If asked how the appointment came about, older Vincentians usually answer "through the influence of the Dohenys."2 It is a natural re- sponse, given Glass's close friendship with the oil baron and his wife. That very closeness, however, presents a difficulty. It is unlikely that Glass or his friends would deliberately seek a post that would remove him from the fleshpots of Chester Place (the Doheny residence in Los Angeles) and exile him to a remote diocese that was geographically the most extensive in the United States and that had a small Catholic population.

  • A History of Juab County, Utah Centennial County History Series
    A HISTORY OF fjuab County Pearl D. Wilson with June McNulty and David Hampshire UTAH CENTENNIAL COUNTY HISTORY SERIES A HISTORY OF JuaB County Pearl D. Wilson with June McNulty and David Hampshire luab County, one of Utah's earliest created counties, sits along the strategic north-south corridor of the state. Prehistoric and Native American Indian cultures roamed there, as did early Spanish priests and explorers, who left an important record of the area. Trappers and traders wandered the mountains and deserts that create stark contrasts in this geo­ graphically diverse county. Mark Twain, an early traveler through parts of luab, penned interesting insights of the county, which contained portions of the Pony Express and Overland Stage routes. Mormon pioneers arrived to establish farms and ranches. This was followed by the build­ ing of railroads and mineral exploration. Rail traffic for a vast region centered in Nephi, labeled "Little Chicago." To the west, the Tintic Mining District rose as one of Utah's richest gold and silver mining areas, attract­ ing a more ethnically diverse population. From majestic Mount Nebo to streams and lakes and the vast sand dunes of west Juab, the county contains many recreational possibili­ ties. Juab County is rich in history, geogra­ phy, and tradition; this book tells its story. ISBN: 0-913738-20-4 A HISTORY OF Juab County A HISTORY OF ffuaB County Pearl D.
