  • Piano Susan Adolphson Henke Susan Henke
    1994 - Piano Susan Adolphson Henke Susan Henke participated in the 1994 RMG scholarship competition; her repertoire was Rhapsody #2 in G Minor, Opus 79, by Johannes Brahms, and the Allemande from French Suite #5 by J.S. Bach. The competition provided a focus for Susan’s efforts, and it was a thrill for her to study this music in depth. Susan used the music camp scholarship prize towards the 1994 Lutheran Summer Music Camp held at Saint Olaf College. During this four-week camp, Susan entered the concerto competition with the first movement of Piano Concerto #3 by Sergei Prokofiev. Susan had eight piano lessons with Dr. A. DeWayne Wee, a member of the St. Olaf College music faculty. Overall, these experiences were important in making the decision to apply for and eventually to attend Saint Olaf College. Susan’s first piano teacher was Marjorie Lidstrom. After Mrs. Lidstrom’s death in 1990, Susan’s studies continued with Kathryn Simpson Sandquist until college, when Susan studied with Dr. Wee. Susan was awarded a Winston Cassler music scholarship, and graduated with a double major in Music and Biology. Susan and her husband (Corey) met during their first year at Saint Olaf, when she was his accompanist. Currently, Susan works full-time in the Clinical Genome Sequencing Laboratory at the Mayo Clinic. Also, Susan is the second piano/harpsichord/celesta player with the Rochester Symphony Orchestra. At Zumbro Lutheran Church, Susan occasionally plays piano, harpsichord and organ to assist with liturgical music or to accompany Corey on the French horn. Susan also sings in the Zumbro Lutheran Choir 2008, 2010 - Violin & Piano Aaron Anderson Aaron Anderson started his music education when he began studying violin with Linda Thompson at the age of 4.

  • 2 Kansas History a Second Revolution
    Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 32 (Spring 2009): 2–17 2 Kansas History A Second Revolution The Struggle to Define the Meaning of the Civil War in Southeast Kansas, 1867–1876 by John N. Mack n April 13, 1876, a prominently titled article in the Chanute Times proclaimed: “Triumph At Last!!” Other papers throughout Labette and Neosho counties announced similar news in equally bold headings. The Parsons Eclipse led with “Gloria in Excelsis.” The Southern Kansas Advance publicized: “Glory, Glory Hallelujah!” And, not to be outdone by its competitors, the OOswego Independent declared just two days later: “Jubilate!”1 Under the title, each article told the same story: The settlers had triumphed! The Supreme Court had ruled in their favor. They could now legally purchase their land from the United States government at $1.25 per acre.2 Victory celebrations were held in every village, town, and city as settlers feted their success. The Chanute Times described the revelry that ensued: “Three hundred guns have been fired, bells are ringing, bonfires are burning and flags are flying.” Other newspapers reported similar festivities throughout Labette and Neosho counties. Settlers were overjoyed that they had prevailed in their decade-long struggle with the railroad com- panies that also claimed the land. A central reason for this joy was the legal guarantee of landownership that the court’s ruling gave them. They could finally obtain legal title to their farms from the government for the price of $1.25 an acre. However, settlers also interpreted the victory in broader terms.

    DIVISION I MEN’S INDOOR TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS RECORDS BOOK 2018 Championships 2 History 6 All-Time Team Results 23 2018 CHAMPIONSHIPS HIGHLIGHTS Florida men capture NCAA Indoor Track & Field national title: Florida’s men won their fourth NCAA Indoor Championships team title in program history, hold- ing off a late push from Southern California. Sophomore Grant Holloway repeated as the 60-meter hurdles champion, becoming the fifth man in history to successfully defend his title. The collegiate record holder crossed in 7.47 seconds, winning in a runaway and tying the third-fastest time in collegiate history, in addition to breaking his own Gilliam Indoor Stadium record. Holloway also finished second in the long jump and joined Kunle Fasasi, Chantz Sawyers and Benjamin Lobo Vedel to earn a bronze medal in the 4x400 relay. The Gators crossed in 3:01.43, decimating the school record in a race that featured the three fastest 4x400 relay times ever recorded. Houston’s Elijah Hall took home two individual titles from the meet. Hall finished in 6.52 seconds in the 60-meter dash edging Auburn’s Raheem Chambers by .01 seconds. Hall then won the 200-meter dash in dominating fashion with a time of 20.02 seconds to set a new indoor record for the event. Southern California took home the most individual titles from the national meet in historic fashion. Michael Norman won the men’s 400-meter dash with a world- record time of 44.52. Norman wasn’t done setting records though. He joined Zach Schinnich, Rai Benjamin and Ricky Morgan Jr., to set another world record in the 4x400 relay and bring home the second national title for Southern California.

It also deals with national issues of the reconstruction period and conflicts over public land poli­ cies both in Kansas and on the national level. For aid on this paper I am deeply indebted to Mr. Alton Juhlin, former Head of the Special Services Department of the University Library. l •m also gratefQl to Dr. Sidney D. Brown and Dr. Norbert R. Mahnken for critical reading of the manuscript. Without access to the files of the Kansa~ State Historical Society at Topeka, Kansas, and the Oklahoma Histortcal Society at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, this study would have been impossible, and I appreciate the courteous treatment I received at both places. Finally, the assistance and guidance of Dr. LeRoy H. Fischer has been of immeasurable help in keeping me at the task during the many times of discouragement. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Cl:iapter Page l.

Gillette delivered an address on the life and achievements of his longtime friend and political ally, James Baird Weaver. He remarked that, “If the people of Iowa paint General Weaver for the hall of fame, the people of Oklahoma should chisel him in marble and plant his statue in their capitol with the legend Aupon it: ‘General James B.
