This seal, approved on June 26, 1856, consisted of an open book surrounded by rays of light and circled by the words North western University, Evanston, Illinois. Thirty years later Daniel Bonbright, professor of Latin and a member of Northwestern’s original faculty, redesigned the seal, Whatsoever things are true, retaining the book and light rays and adding two quotations. whatsoever things are honest, On the pages of the open book he placed a Greek quotation from the Gospel of John, chapter 1, verse 14, translating to The Word . whatsoever things are just, full of grace and truth. Circling the book are the first three whatsoever things are pure, words, in Latin, of the University motto: Quaecumque sunt vera whatsoever things are lovely, (What soever things are true). The outer border of the seal carries the name of the University and the date of its founding. This seal, whatsoever things are of good report; which remains Northwestern’s official signature, was approved by if there be any virtue, the Board of Trustees on December 5, 1890. and if there be any praise, The full text of the University motto, adopted on June 17, 1890, is think on these things. from the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Philippians, chapter 4, verse 8 (King James Version).

ATHEARN * NE day in the spring of 1848, a young first lieutenant sta­ O tioned at Monterey, California, learned that the far­ famed Kit Carson, trapper and scout, had arrived from Taos with mail and dispatches. Having seen Fremont's recent writ­ ings, the officer was anxious to look upon this man who had come to international notice through his feats of daring in the western wilderness. Making his way to the tavern he found a small, round-shouldered individual with hair that was not quite as red as his own and whose appearance was somewhat less spectacular than he had imagined. Carson proved to be a further disappointment in that his speech was monosyllabic and he displayed little tendency to talk about the exploits that were claimed for him. Yet, in their modesty, the two men were much alike and shortly a warm friendship developed.

    HISTORY AND THE CONSTITUTION Chapter 7 HISTORY AND THE CONSTITUTION 309 EARLY HISTORY OF IOWA By Dorothy Schwieder, Professor of History, Iowa State University Marquette and Joliet Find Iowa Lush and Green In the summer of 1673, French explorers Louis Joliet and Father Jacques Marquette traveled down the Mississippi River past the land that was to become the state of Iowa. The two explorers, along with their five crewmen, stepped ashore near where the Iowa River flowed into the Missis- sippi. It is believed that the 1673 voyage marked the first time that white people visited the region of Iowa. After surveying the surrounding area, the Frenchmen recorded in their journals that Iowa appeared lush, green, and fertile. For the next 300 years, thousands of white settlers would agree with these early visitors: Iowa was indeed lush and green; moreover, its soil was highly produc- tive. In fact, much of the history of the Hawkeye State is inseparably intertwined with its agricul- tural productivity. Iowa stands today as one of the leading agricultural states in the nation, a fact foreshadowed by the observation of the early French explorers. The Indians Before 1673, however, the region had long been home to many Native Americans. Approxi- mately 17 different Indian tribes had resided here at various times including the Ioway, Sauk, Mesquaki, Sioux, Potawatomi, Oto, and Missouri. The Potawatomi, Oto, and Missouri Indians had sold their land to the federal government by 1830 while the Sauk and Mesquaki remained in the Iowa region until 1845. The Santee Band of the Sioux was the last to negotiate a treaty with the federal government in 1851.

White Beans For Hanging The tale that follows is not a placid one, for it has to do with the sharp, dramatic outlines of one of the bloodiest struggles that ever took place between whites within the bounds of Iowa. Therefore let those who wish a gentle narrative of the ways of a man with a maid take warning and close the leaves of this record. The story is of men who lived through troublous days and circumstances and who at times thought they could attain peace only by looking along the sights of a gun barrel. The facts are given largely as they were related by Sheriff Warren. It is more than three quarters of a century since the events occurred, and Warren and the others who took part have long since left this life.
