DRAKE Back Cover THE COVER: Thomas Miller was a teacher, soldier, lawyer, editor, and the first president of Columbia College, "The seed from which grew the University of Missouri." George Caleb Bingham, the famous Missouri artist, painted the miniature portrait of Miller, a college classmate and close friend of James S. Rollins, about 1837. So far as is known it is the only miniature Bingham ever painted. The State Historical Society of Missouri was given the rare painting by Mrs. Ruth Rollins Westfall in September, 1961. The pencil sketches on either side of the portrait are also the work of Bingham. THE STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF MISSOURI ANNUAL MEETING AND DEDICATION OF NEW QUARTERS BY DANIEL H. SPIES"" More than one thousand members and guests of the State Historical Society of Missouri met in Columbia September 16 to hold the Society's annual meeting and to dedicate its library, art gallery and quarters in the new east wing of the University of Missouri Library. Governor John M. Dalton commended the work of the Society and praised its collections in an address to 460 guests at the Society's annual luncheon in the University of Missouri Student Union which preceded the dedication ceremonies and open house. The governor called the Society "Missouri's greatest cultural and educational organization" and said that "no definitive writing on any aspect of the state can be done without consulting its resources." Dr. Richard S. Brownlee, director of the Society, reported at the meeting the estimated cash value of the Society's holdings exceeds by $200,000 the total appropriations the Society has received since its founding in 1898. The Society has 13,140 paid members, making it the largest state historical society in the nation. At the business meeting, William C. Tucker, Warrensburg publisher, was elected trustee of the Society succeeding the late Ralph P. Johnson of Osceola. Trustees re-elected include Wil­ liam R. Denslow, Trenton; Alfred O. Fuerbringer, St. Louis; George Fuller Green, Kansas City; Robert S. Green, Mexico; Frank Luther Mott, Columbia; George H. Scruton, Sedalia; James Todd, Moberly; and T. Ballard Watters, Marshfield. After the luncheon, James S. Rollins II and James S. Rollins III presented a George Caleb Bingham portrait to the Society, an original oil painting of James S. Rollins who is called "the father of the University of Missouri." Mrs. Ruth Rollins Westfall presented a Bingham miniature to the Society, a portrait of Thomas Miller, first president of Columbia College, predecessor of the University. *Daniel H. Spies, B.J., a member of the State Historical Society staff 1948-1950, has returned to the staff as a research associate. He has completed work for an M.A. degree at the University of Missouri. 115 116 Missouri Historical Review After the presentation, the members and guests toured the new quarters. The Society's library and collections were on special display during the afternoon open house. When remodeling of the older parts of the ground floor of the University Library is com­ pleted next spring, the Society will have nearly two thirds of an acre of usable floor space, nearly twice as much room as was available in the old quarters. The dedication of the new quarters marks the beginning of a period of increased service and growth for the Society and the move into them will advance its efficiency greatly. Now, for the first time in its history, the Society has quarters especially designed for it. The additional space will permit the proper display of art work and illustrations and make all of the collections and historical source materials more accessible. Half of the Society's quarters will be in the new portion of the Library building. The main State Historical Society entrance is on Lowry Street opposite the University of Missouri's new Fine Arts Theater. The James S. Rollins Portrait Dedication Standing L. to R. are E. L. Dale, president of the Society, Governor John M. Dalton, James S. Rollins II, and James S. Rollins III. Annual Meeting and Dedication of New Quarters 117 The Society facilities are on both sides of a corridor which extends 176 feet through the new wing to a second entrance on Conley Avenue. Included are a new reference reading room and library, the largest single room in the new quarters, and a large newspaper reading room, storage stacks for bound newspapers, and a new microfilm reading room. The director's office, the business office, and a supply room are on the opposite side of the corridor. The Society's nationally known J. Christian Bay Collection, the Mahan Memorial Mark Twain Collec­ tion, and the Eugene Field Collection are kept in a new rare book room at the southeast corner of the building. New facilities for the Society include an art gallery, the first in its history; a large archives, maps and manuscripts room; catalog room; periodical and acquisition room, and a staff lounge. Facilities which will be available when construction is completed next spring include a large editorial and research office, a receiving room for current newspapers, a mailing Main Entrance and shipping room, and a corre­ spondence file room. The Society will occupy all of the ground floor of the University Library building except a few rooms. More than 11,000 square feet of space in the older parts of the Library ground floor will be used for storage of bound newspapers, duplicates of State and Society publications, microfilm negatives, cuts, and books not in constant demand. This material will be kept in six large stack rooms, one tier of the original University book stacks, and three storage rooms. A center of interest for guests at the annual meeting was the modern gallery designed for display of the Society's historical art 118 Missouri Historical Review collections. The gallery is notable for the amount of space usable for art displays, special lighting adaptable for changing exhibits, and for a expansible exhibit area available in an adjoining corridor gallery. Paintings are displayed against a non-reflective attractive gallery fabric background which is complementary to the exhibits.

From the collections of the George Washington Carver National Monument. Thirst for Knowledge: Historic Context for the 1872 Neosho Colored School The first national superintendent of schools for the Freedmen’s Bureau, northerner John W. Alvord, began his tenure with the Bureau in late 1865 with a personal tour of the former confederate states. His first report for the Bureau, written in January of 1866, commenced with the following notes. “The desire of the freedmen for knowledge cannot be overstated.” He included a list of reasons for that enthusiasm, the first of which was “the natural thirst for knowledge common to man.”1 1 John W.

If a newspaper and its publisher always keep those constituencies in that order: readers first, advertisers second, employees third, creditors fourth, and shareholders last, then the newspaper will do well journalistically and financially, and the interests of all con- stituencies will be well served.” — Walter E.

  • The Kochs Fight Against Working Families in Missouri
    ((FFRRcc?? THE KOC))HS FIGHFFT AGAI??NST WORKING FAMIRLRIES INPP MISS?O?URIee 1 "SHOW ME" THE MONEY! THE KOCHS FIGHT AGAINST WORKING FAMILIES IN MISSOURI In America’s “Show Me State,” the Koch brothers have once again shown us their transparent, self-interested agenda to serve their bottom line. With at least six companies and thirteen subsidiaries active in Missouri, including their longest pipeline, the Kochs have a personal financial interest in the state. To protect these interests, the Kochs have mobilized their flagship astroturf advocacy group, Americans for Prosperity, working in conjunction with the Koch-funded State Policy Network group, the Show-Me Institute, and ALEC to influence both electoral and policy outcomes for their financial gain. The Koch brothers’ Missouri meddling continuously prioritizes their corporate greed at the expense of the state’s workers, families, students, as well as the environment. Perhaps the best example of the Koch’s self-interested efforts is their campaign for right-to-work-for-less legislation. Americans for Prosperity proudly led a coalition of fifty-five organizations and organized a six figure media and ground effort to push Missouri legislators to weaken unions and collective bargaining. AFP attempted to deceive voters on the intentions of their efforts, as they promised this legislation was not “anti-union.” However, Missouri state representative and ALEC member Bill Lant, revealed the Kochs’ self-interest behind the campaign when he championed right-to-work “by projecting it would cut wages by 2 to 3 dollars an hour,” providing a boon to big businesses like Koch Industries.
