Joint Project with the College of Edu cation This fa ll, the Northern Iowa School of Music will pilot-test a unit in the curricu­ lum for prospective principals and super­ intendents. Labeled "An Administrator's Guide to Curriculum for Music Edu ca­ tion," the project is a joint effort involvi ng the music education fac ulty and selected fac ulty from the Department of Education­ al Administration and Coun seling in the College of Ed ucation. Robert Dea n is the project coordinator. The project, thought to be the only one of its kind in the country, is designed to acquaint the fu ture school administra tor with the components of a quality, compre­ hensive public school music curriculum. Techniques for evaluating such programs will also be taught. Many administrators are not fa miliar with the idiosyncrasies of "That contribution could not have come at a more opportune time," stated Ron Ross after a music program.

The pur- chase of the Louisiana territory in 1803 Tdoubled the area of the United States, thereby facilitat- ing the opportunity for new settlements. No state, in proportion to its size and population, played a more important role in this expansion than Connecticut. In a previous study2 there has been shown the large emigration, after 1783, from Connecticut, western Massachusetts, and Vermont (both districts originally settled by pioneers from Connecticut) into central and western New York. This emigration continued after 1800, and was typical of later emigration into the North- west Territory. The restless and discontented elements often moved first; but the next settlers were a more sub- stantial group, farmers in the "meridian of life" whose families made up the settlements. Generally, they were 'The author is indebted to Mr. Roland Mather Hooker for assistance in putting the manuscript into final form. 2 See Lois K. M.

  • MEMORIES: COLLEGE DAYS at GRINNELL, 1956-1960 by John
    MEMORIES: COLLEGE DAYS AT GRINNELL, 1956-1960 By John Price ‘60 My mother had attended high school in Chariton, Iowa, where she had a Latin teacher named Hortense Gabel, who was an alumna of Grinnell, the sectarian Congregationalist college in the eponymous town in central Iowa. The school had been founded by the “Iowa Band” of Congregational pastors. They moved the school from Davenport, where it was birthed in 1846 (as was the state of Iowa), to Grinnell some years later, in 1859, to land Josiah B. Grinnell, the founder of the town, had intended for Grinnell University. It was always well known and well regarded in Iowa, which itself for decade after decade was the state with the highest literacy rate. Because of Ms. Gabel, whom my mother revered, mother always had a positive disposition toward Grinnell. My church in Manhasset was Congregational, so almost naturally I looked at Grinnell and others of similar lineage, like Oberlin in Ohio. Other close friends at Manhasset High School were headed for the Ivies. I spent the summer between my last two high school years at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, in the very first Telluride Association Summer Program, and, familiar then with Cornell, applied to it and was accepted. My parents took me to the Grinnell campus from a farm visit in 1955 or perhaps 1954, to look it over. We were shown around by a student, and, in strolling the streets then still lined with magnificent American Elms, encountered Professor of Philosophy Paul G. Kuntz. He was an eccentric and a thoroughly sweet one.
