Using a $10,000 grant from the Efroymson Family Fund of the Central Indiana Community Foundation, Indiana Landmarks repaired the roof of the 1859 Gothic Revival church and is repainting the adja- cent parish house built in the same era. We’re offering the two buildings for sale, with preservation easements to protect their exterior character, for $70,000.

Three years ago, we created Sacred Places Indiana, a pro- gram aimed at turning the tide by helping congregations remain in historic houses of worship. Originally a three-year pilot funded by a $1.2 million grant from Lilly Endowment, we won support for another year from the Allen Whitehill Clowes Charitable Foundation, Inc., and the Efroymson Family Fund. Launched in 2015 in partnership with Philadelphia-based Partners for Sacred Places, the program has provided intensive training in landmark stewardship, com- munity engagement, and fundraising to 29 congregations in historic churches dating from 1849 to 1964. David Frederick directs the program and he’s encouraged by the success of many participating congregations. “Here’s just one example,” he offers. “Spencer Presbyterian Church, Aid for Sacred Places in Distress a participant in the second-year cohort, harnessed the train- ing we provided to address the needs of its 1879 structure and AS THE NEW YEAR DAWNS, INDIANA LANDMARKS Indiana Landmarks glass windows and furnishings by engage the community.

    April 1, 2021 For Immediate Release Contact: Ivan Cropper, Vice President, Marketing & Communications 317-417-0652 [email protected] Goodwill to Receive $6.95 Million Grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. Expanded re-entry program is expected to reduce recidivism in Indianapolis INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana announced today that it is the grateful recipient of a substantial $6.95 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc., which will enable the not-for-profit to expand its successful re-entry program, New Beginnings. Every year, thousands of Hoosiers are released from incarceration and return to Marion County. One of their greatest challenges is successfully joining the labor market at a level that pays a living and family-sustaining wage. Consequently, this population often lives in poverty and in high-crime areas. “The goal of New Beginnings is to transition participants from entry-level work at Goodwill to a skilled, in-demand career in the community,” said Trelles Evans, director of re-entry services at Goodwill. “With funding from Lilly Endowment, Goodwill can expand the program’s offerings as well as the number of individuals served.” Launched by Goodwill in 2011, New Beginnings provides employment, educational training and coaching for recently incarcerated individuals through on-the-job training and classroom learning. Participants are supported through a number of wraparound services, including financial literacy, access to health care, referrals to stable housing and help developing a support system that will sustain them well beyond the program. “Until now, Goodwill has only been able to serve a small fraction of the population eligible for New Beginnings,” said Kent A.

We reached 1.4 million people through visitation, programs, outreach and services. It was a great year, as you’ll see in this report. Everything we do is based on our mission as Indiana’s Storyteller and our commitment to collecting, preserving, interpreting and sharing our state’s history. We serve as an important resource for educators, students and researchers – professional and personal. We strive to make Indiana’s history relevant to the rest of the country’s history and to the world today. Connecting people to the past is our most important purpose, and we are able to do it in interesting ways thanks to your support and the support of our Board of Trustees and community advisors. Our particularly powerful You Are There about Italian POWs in Camp Atterbury has truly touched visitors to the History Center. You Are There: Eli Lilly at the Beginning brought thousands of people into Col. Lilly’s original lab. Our latest You Are There presents the Battle of Gettysburg in an innovative and captivating style. Our permanent Indiana Experience offerings of Destination Indiana, the W. Brooks and Wanda Y. Fortune History Lab and the Cole Porter Room continue to delight.

  • Depauw Today
    Scholarship recipient Nadine Farid ’95 lauds the generosity and continuing impact of scholarship donor Robert V. Copeland ’37 by Nadine Farid ’95 Climenko/Thayer Lecturer on Law Harvard University Law School DePauw graduates of generations past are renowned for their generos- ity. However, not all DePauw alumni have had the opportunity to not only benefi t from an alum’s thoughtful gift to the school but also make the close acquaintance of that alumnus or alumna. Those of us who were fortunate enough to receive the Copeland Scholarship to DePauw, established by Robert V. “Bob” Copeland ’37, had that rare opportunity. Mr. Copeland, who passed away on Aug. 12, 2004, came to DePauw in the footsteps of his two older brothers. He was, by all accounts, the quintessential DePauw student – intelligent, friendly, heavily involved in student life and dedicated to DePauw sports, playing basketball and football, and lettering twice. His fondness for the school and his experi- ence there is evident in his early career as an educator as well as in his exemplary generosity to the school. An Indiana boy who attended the former Valley Mills High (now part of Decatur Central High School) near where he was raised in India- napolis, Mr. Copeland moved to my hometown, Lebanon, Ind., prior to his retirement from Eli Lilly and Company in the 1970s. He and his wife, Josephine, lost their son Ronald in childhood. The Copeland Scholar- ship, now in the names of Robert and Josephine S. Copeland in memory of their son, was established to provide recipients with the opportunity Josephine and Robert V.

  • Indiana Magazine of History
    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY - VOLUMEXXXI MARCH, 1935 NUMBER1 The Nomination of the Democratic Candidate in 1924 By SEXSONE. HUMPHREYS One of the strangest among the phenomena of American party history is the Democratic National Convention of 1924, in which all the elements that tend to divide the Democratic party combined to produce a bitterness such as had never been seen in a political convention before and to send the number of ballots required to name a candidate to the record figure of 103. Historians are familiar with the problems that caused the impasse and have frequently analyzed their significance. Students of politics find in the convention a demonstration of how diverse are the interests represented in the Democratic party. There is one question regarding the convention, how- ever, that has largely gone unanswered, and frequently un- asked. That is the question of how it happened that John W. Davis became the nominee of the party. This is an impor- tant question, for it represents the first time since 1860 that the party had gone south of the Mason-Dixon line for its candidate, unless Woodrow Wilson, born in Virginia, but nominated from New Jersey, be considered an exception. The nomination indicates also the triumph of the metropolitan element in the party that was to lead it to defeat in 1928. John W. Davis was the second choice, not of the forces which had kept William G. McAdoo in the lead during most of the convention, but of the forces of A1 Smith-the urban, Catholic, and financial interests in the party.

    LILLY ENDOWMENT MAKES $6M GRANT TO INTERFAITH YOUTH CORE FOR INTERFAITH COOPERATION AND LEADERSHIP For interview requests or to attend the event contact Paul Brandeis Raushenbush on 646.464.2882 or [email protected]. For Immediate Release Chicago, IL, January 28, 2020 - Interfaith Youth Core (IFYC) is pleased to announce the launch of a new initiative funded through a $6 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. The initiative. Interfaith Cooperation Through and Beyond Higher Education: Leadership Pathways and the Public Understanding of Religion, will expand IFYC’s efforts on college campuses nationwide. America’s colleges and universities act as micro civil societies and offer unparalleled opportunity to reach young adults developing their leadership in religiously diverse contexts. In 20 years, IFYC has engaged with close to 600 U.S. campuses to develop appreciation across religious difference and to advance interfaith leadership. IFYC has made an impact on the lives of thousands of undergraduates and increased public understanding of religion through the ranks of 1,500 alumni interfaith leaders. With Lilly Endowment funding, IFYC will spend the next three years expanding interfaith opportunities in student leadership, campus environments, higher education networks, and young alumni leaders. Through this effort, IFYC will seek to increase the public understanding of religion both on and off campuses. Further, IFYC will engage student and alumni leaders to deepen personal lifelong commitments to bridging religious divides, while serving their

  • Reviews and Notices Thomas Riley Marshall
    Reviews and Notices Thomas Riley Marshall. By Charles M. Thomas. Mississippi Valley Press, Oxford, Ohio, 1939. Pp. 296, $3.00. There was much of interest in the life of Thomas R. Marshall. A successful lawyer, as success was rated in the small county seat of a rural county, he rose to be Governor of Indiana and Vice-president of the United States. He was a shrewd politician, and the possessor of a rather keen wit which he loved to indulge. He had ideas of his own and was quite independent, sometimes to the point where he could be called stubborn. He was honest and inclined to be frank in expressing himself. He was ambitious. He possessed ability, though he was not a man of broad vision. The fates were kind to him while he lived and have been kind to him in regard to his biographer, if it is true that a high class biographer is one who tells a straight-forward, unvarnished Story. Dr. Thomas has had access to the best sources of in- formation and he has used them intelligently and with fair- ness. He tells the story of Marshall’s life simply and nat- urally. Three short chapters cover more than fifty years. After being graduated from Wabash College in 1873, the “Country Lawyer” was scarcely heard of outside of the con- gressional district in which he lived, for thirty long years. In this period, he practiced law and enjoyed a fair income. He made many political speeches. He did not marry until he was past forty.

Barrows, Ph.D. March 6, 2015 ______________________________ Nancy Marie Robertson, Ph.D. ______________________________ Philip V. Scarpino, Ph.D. ii Acknowledgments My thanks begin with my doctoral committee. Dwight Burlingame advised me throughout my entire program, chose the perfect readings for me in our dissertation seminar, helped me shape the project, and read each chapter promptly and thoughtfully. His steadfast belief in my scholarship and his infinite kindness have been invaluable. Phil Scarpino and Bob Barrows led the seminars during which my dissertation idea took shape. Nancy Robertson challenged me to look at the work from many different angles and suggested a veritable treasure trove of scholarship upon which to draw. All their questions, comments, guidance, and encouragement have helped my work more than mere words can express. My colleagues in the doctoral program and students in the undergraduate program provided unwavering support as I lovingly talked about my research, “my organization,” and “my time period.” I especially thank Barbara Duffy, who chose the Charity Organization Society of Indianapolis (1879-1883) for her History of Philanthropy doctoral seminar research project. I enjoyed talking about “our women,” sharing our emerging ideas, swapping sources, and basking in one another’s “Eureka!” moments as we made one connection after another.
