  • 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.

    2009. Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science 1 1 8(2): 143—1 86 THE "LOST" JORDAN AND HAY FISH COLLECTION AT BUTLER UNIVERSITY Carter R. Gilbert: Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611 USA ABSTRACT. A large fish collection, preserved in ethanol and assembled by Drs. David S. Jordan and Oliver P. Hay between 1875 and 1892, had been stored for over a century in the biology building at Butler University. The collection was of historical importance since it contained some of the earliest fish material ever recorded from the states of South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi and Kansas, and also included types of many new species collected during the course of this work. In addition to material collected by Jordan and Hay, the collection also included specimens received by Butler University during the early 1880s from the Smithsonian Institution, in exchange for material (including many types) sent to that institution. Many ichthyologists had assumed that Jordan, upon his departure from Butler in 1879. had taken the collection. essentially intact, to Indiana University, where soon thereafter (in July 1883) it was destroyed by fire. The present study confirms that most of the collection was probably transferred to Indiana, but that significant parts of it remained at Butler. The most important results of this study are: a) analysis of the size and content of the existing Butler fish collection; b) discovery of four specimens of Micropterus coosae in the Saluda River collection, since the species had long been thought to have been introduced into that river; and c) the conclusion that none of Jordan's 1878 southeastern collections apparently remain and were probably taken intact to Indiana University, where they were lost in the 1883 fire.

    The Giants of Zoology: Jordan, Eigenmann and Payne Frank N. Young Department of Biology, Indiana University Bloomington, Indiana 47405 For over half a century, from 1885, when botany and geology were separated until 1948, zoology at Indiana University had only three teacher-leaders. The depart- mental organization of the curriculum which is still largely intact was introduced in 1885 when David Starr Jordan became president. After a period of experimentation with a divisional organization of the life sciences, zoology and botany reunited and joined microbiology to form a biology department. Carl Eigenmann followed Jordan as leader of the zoology department, and was succeeded in 1927 by Fernandus Payne. These three brought zoology at Indiana University to national if not international pre- eminence. During the period from 1885 to 1948, the number of zoologists multiplied from one to eleven, and the courses diversified to cover all phases of the modern study of animals. In the meantime, the umlaut had disappeared from zoology. Carl H. Eigenmann (1863-1927) was born in Germany, but came to Indiana in 1880 and was educated at Indiana University and Harvard. In 1891 he was called back to Indiana University to assume the professorship of zoology vacated by Jordan's move to Stanford University. He later served many years as dean of the graduate school. Eigenmann, like Jordan, was a life-long student of freshwater fish. He published more than 200 papers on fish and other vertebrates during his lifetime. At Indiana Univer- sity he initiated the modern period of zoology. At the time of his death, in 1927, the zoology faculty included: Will Scott, Fernandus Payne, and Alfred C.

    2006. Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science 1 15(2): 136-148 BIODIVERSITY OF FISHES IN THE WABASH RIVER: STATUS, INDICATORS, AND THREATS Thomas P. Simon: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 620 South Walker Street, Bloomington, Indiana 47401 USA; and Aquatic Research Center, Indiana Biological Survey, 6440 South Fairfax Road, Bloomington, Indiana 47401 USA ABSTRACT. Anthropogenic impacts on native Wabash River fish species have caused extinctions, frag- mentation and loss of habitat, and range reductions that have imperiled species. Seven species that have been extirpated include the alligator gar {Atractosteus spatula), harelip sucker {Moxostoma lacerum), crystal darter (Crystallaria asprella), saddleback darter {Percina vigil), channel darter {Percina copelandi), stargazing darter {Percina uranidea), and popeye shiner {Notropis ahommus). The harelip sucker occurred in the Tippecanoe River but became extinct during the early 1900s. Banded pygmy sunfish {Elassoma zonatum) may be extirpated from Indiana, but the species status is unknown. Habitat loss has also caused the local extirpation of spotted darter {Etheostoma maculatum), greater redhorse {Moxostoma valencien- nesi), and northern madtom {Noturus stigmosus). Range reductions have influenced the distribution of northern brook lamprey {Ichthyomyzon fossor), lake sturgeon {Acipenser fulvescens), cisco {Coregonus artedii), and gilt darter {Percina evides). Currently, five species on the endangered list for Indiana (50%) occur in the Wabash River. As sensitive species have declined

    : 1868.] PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 351 DESCRIPTIONS OF FOURTEEN SPECIES OF FRESH-WATER FISHES COLLECTED BY THE U. S. FISH COMMISSION IN THE SUMMER OF 1888. BY DAVID STARR JORDAN. (With Plates xliii—xlv. ) A large part of the summer of 1888 was spent by the writer iu the exploration of the streams of Virginia and North Carolina, under the auspices of the IT. S. Fish Commission. In this work I had the efficient assistance of Prof. Oliver P. Jenkins, of De Pauw University, Green- castle, Ind. ; Barton W. Evermann, of the State Normal School, Terre Haute, Ind. ; and Seth E. Meek, of Coe College, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The basins of the Shenandoah, James, Roanoke, Kanawha, Holston, French Broad, Catawba, Yadkin, Cape Fear, Neuse, Tar, and Black water Rivers were more or less fully explored, and upwards of 7,000 specimens, mostly of small fishes, were secured. Among the species obtained fourteen appear to be certainly new to science. Types of each of these species have been sent to the U. S. Na- tional Museum. These species are described in advance of the general report by permission of Col. Marshall McDonald, U. S. Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries. The uew species described are the following 1. Xoturusfuriosus Jordan & Meek. 2. Noturus gilberti Jordan & Evermann. 3. Moxostoma rupiscartes Jordan & Jenkins. 4. Xotropis {Luxilus) macdonaldi Jordan & Jenkius. 5.

  • Complete Letter
    July 1, 2020 To: Indiana University President Michael McRobbie, Provost Lauren Robel, Vice President James Wimbush, Vice Provost Eliza Pavalko, and Vice Provost John Nieto-Phillips We are writing on behalf of Concerned Scientists @ IU (and its student affiliate organization, Advocates for Science @ IU), a grass-roots, non-partisan community and campus organization comprising over 1200 members—scientists, students, and supporters of science—from the south- central Indiana region. Concerned Scientists @ IU is dedicated to strengthening the essential role of science in public policy and evidence-based decision making. In recent days, we, and every other preeminent scientific society and advocacy organization, have committed our organization to work to ensure that the opportunities and benefits of science are shared equitably for the betterment of all in society, and that dignity, equity, diversity, and opportunity become fundamental cornerstones of our work as scientists and as advocates for science. With this letter, CSIU adds their voice to the growing chorus advocating for changing the name of Jordan Hall. We want to emphasize that the proposed name change is not just the right thing to do given recent developments, it would be the right thing to do under any circumstances. This issue is not just a local one; Stanford University has recently formed a committee to review a request similar to the one you have been considering from the Department of Biology. We welcome President McRobbie’s announcement of the formation of a University Naming Committee to “begin a systematic review of all named buildings or structures on all campuses of Indiana University”.

    The Development of the Science Departments at Indiana University Ernest E. Campaigne, Indiana University1 The growth of science at Indiana University was marked by a gestation period of about sixty years, followed by a brief active period of about twenty years during which some dozen science departments were born. This was followed by a quiescent time of about fifty years, while these departments reached maturity. Finally during the last ten years or so, a new period of growth activity is apparent, which involves realignment of faculty members and a fusion of departments. A State Seminary for Indiana was chartered in 1820, and opened its doors to Bloomington students in 1824. By act of the legislature in 1828, the seminary became Indiana College, and in 1829 Professor John H. Harney was appointed to the Chair of Mathematics, Natural and Mechanical Philosophy, and Chemistry. Thus the sciences began at Indiana. Professor Harney offered courses in what would now be as- tronomy, biology, geology, mathematics and physics. The first building to have a laboratory room was completed in 1836. When Harney resigned in 1832, the Science Chair was taken by Professor E. N. Elliott, and he in turn resigned in 1837, to be replaced by Professor Theophilus A. Wylie, a cousin of President Andrew Wylie. T. A. Wylie spent forty-eight years at Indiana, not including the years 1854-1855 when he held the Chair of Natural History at Miami University. At one time or another, he taught nearly all of the science offerings at Indiana College. He also served as Librarian, Superintendent of Grounds, and on two occasions as Interim President of the University.
