State Historical Society of Missouri Thomas Hart Benton Remembered By LYMAN FIELD* Tom Benton's life span encompassed one-tenth of the last century, three-fourths of this one: 1889 to 1975—over 85 years. He lived and worked with great vigor and purpose and amazing grace right up to the very end, with his hands, his mind and his heart. There was a lot of Ulysses in Tom Benton, both as a solitary wanderer and with companions; but for all his wonderful travels in Italy, France, far away islands, Mexico, most of the United States, the oceans, the rivers and streams, the great prairies and mountains of the American west—it was his home, his hearth, his table and his studio, both in Missouri and Martha's Vineyard, and his beloved Rita, which held the deepest meanings for him. He was as at home with the writings of St. Augustine, Thomas Aquinas and the Arabian Nights, as he was with the works, in the •Lyman Field, a partner in the Kansas City law firm of Field, Gentry, Benjamin & Robertson, P.C. and a long-time friend of Thomas Hart Benton, presented this paper at the Society's annual meeting luncheon on October 7, 1989.

THE LEGISLATURE OF 1861. On the last day of December, 1860, the twenty-first General Assem- bly of Missouri met at Jefferson City. The retiring Governor, " Bob " M. Stewart, delivered a very conservative message, taking the middle ground between secession and abolitionism, and pleading strenuously for peace and moderation. He declared, among other things, that the people of Missouri " ought not to be frightened from their propriety by the past unfriendly legislation of the North, nor dragooned into secession by the restrictive legislation of the extreme South." He concluded with a thrilling appeal for the maintenance of the Union, depicting the inevitable result of secession, revolution and war. Many of Governor Stewart's predictions were afterward fulfilled with start- ling and fearful exactness. The inaugural of the new Governor,

  • Guide to Oral History Collections in Missouri

    Guide to Oral History Collections in Missouri

    Guide to Oral History Collections in Missouri. Compiled and Edited by David E. Richards Special Collections & Archives Department Duane G. Meyer Library Missouri State University Springfield, Missouri Last updated: September 16, 2012 This guide was made possible through a grant from the Richard S. Brownlee Fund from the State Historical Society of Missouri and support from Missouri State University. Introduction Missouri has a wealth of oral history recordings that document the rich and diverse population of the state. Beginning around 1976, libraries, archives, individual researchers, and local historical societies initiated oral history projects and began recording interviews on audio cassettes. The efforts continued into the 1980s. By 2000, digital recorders began replacing audio cassettes and collections continued to grow where staff, time, and funding permitted. As with other states, oral history projects were easily started, but transcription and indexing efforts generally lagged behind. Hundreds of recordings existed for dozens of discreet projects, but access to the recordings was lacking or insufficient. Larger institutions had the means to transcribe, index, and catalog their oral history materials, but smaller operations sometimes had limited access to their holdings. Access was mixed, and still is. This guide attempts to aggregate nearly all oral history holdings within the state and provide at least basic, minimal access to holdings from the largest academic repository to the smallest county historical society. The effort to provide a guide to the oral history collections of Missouri started in 2002 with a Brownlee Fund Grant from the State Historical Society of Missouri. That initial grant provided the seed money to create and send out a mail-in survey.

    Thomas Hart Benton: Painter of Everyday America Thomas Hart Benton was born in Missouri in 1889. Throughout his long life he made thousands of drawings and paintings. He was inspired by his experiences of America. As a boy his mother took Tom, his two sisters, and his brother to visit her family in Texas. He traveled with his father, who was running for US Congress. When his father won, the Bentons lived in Washington DC. They came home to Missouri in the summers, where young Tom had a pony, took care of a cow, and picked strawberries.

Two years, no progress: Revisiting the University Village collapse On-campus child care and affordable university-sponsored housing options have long been demanded by graduate students. The conversation gained momentum when, two years ago, a walkway at the University Village student housing complex collapsed, killing Columbia firefighter Lt. Bruce Britt.

Voting is set to start March 2, but the RHA justices don’t want Matt Bourke and Martha Pangborn to win by default. So now voters will be able to select either the Bourke/Pangborn slate or no confidence. How do you like them odds?
