This series of three monographs attempts to reassess therole of women in the development of public higher education in Wisconsin.The monographs Volume 1: They Came to Learn, They Came to Teach.They Came to Stay Volume 2: Wisconsin Women, Graduate School, and theProfessions Volume 3: Women Emerge in the Seventies are not conventional history, butanthologies of essays, impressions, and sketches dealing with the far and immediate pasts.The essays provide a female perspective on Wisconsin public higher educationfrom the post Civil War days to today. One notices in reading the pieces aperpetuation of con- cerns: academic rank and promotiondifferences between men and women, salary inequities, marginal participation in university governanceand ad- ministration, conflicts between social and careerroles. One notes, as well, the varying responses to an on-going situation, responsesmat vary from accep- tance to outrage. The setting for these essays is the University of WisconsinSystem, a federation of public higher education institutions in the Stateof Wisconsin. The System was formed in 1971 by legislative action mergingthe University of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin State Universities. The former University of Wisconsin included thehistorical land-grant university at Madison, founded in 1849; the urban universityat Milwaukee formed in 1956 through the merger of the former WisconsinState College in Milwaukee and the University of Wisconsin Extension Center inMilwaukee; and two new universities created at Parkside and GreenBay in 1969. The former Wisconsin State Universities consisted of nineuniversities which grew out of state normal schools established inWisconsin between 1866 and 1916. They subsequently moved to stateteacher college status then to state colleges and eventually became state universities. The end result of this evolution of public higher education inWisconsin is a System of 13 universities and 14 two-yearcenters plus the renowned ex- tension service founded in 1891. As these threemonographs demonstrate, women have played an influential part inthe development of higher educa- tion in Wisconsin. Until now women's participationhas been expressed pri- marily as footnotes to history. These essays begin to redressthis inequity.

Brown INTRODUCTION American women have participated in at least tworevolutions in the twentieth century. Revolution is a word not used lightly here;by revolution is meant something other than the "revolutionary" newingredient in dish powder, or in the "revolution" no-iron cotton shirts. By revolution is meant a shift in paradigm that makes a difference to the widerculture. To explain, a real revolution causes the people in a culture to reassess what they have assumed to be real and true andunchallengeable; a real revolution causes a paradigm shift, i.e., it proposes and insists upon a new way of looking at a formerly assumedreality. A culture, for instance, can be said to have undergone a paradigm shift, or intellectualrevolution, when it moves from the assumptions of Newtonianphysics with its fixed laws to Ein- steinian physics with its relativity; when it movesfrom assumptions about the rights of power to a concern with the responsibilities of power;when it moves from a tradition of homogeneous egalitarianism to thecelebration of heterogeneity and individualism. Two such paradigm shifts or revolutions have occurred in the lives of American women in this century...but those revolutionshave not come about without backlash, counterargument, or fierce attempts to maintainthe pre-revolution sense of what is real and true aboutwomen's lives.

  • The Wisconsin Idea: the Vision That Made Wisconsin Famous
    1 “Trying to plan for the future without a sense of the past is like trying to plant cut flowers” --Daniel Boorstin, historian and Librarian of Congress The Wisconsin Idea: The Vision that Made Wisconsin Famous Introduction To the practitioners who comprise UW-Madison’s Community Partnerships and Outreach (CPO) Staff Network, the Wisconsin Idea is at the heart of their day-to-day work with communities in Wisconsin and beyond. But the original meaning of the Wisconsin Idea has faded over time, replaced by a generic public service mandate. (1) “The Boundaries of the University are the Boundaries of the State” The “Year of the Wisconsin Idea” offers us an opportunity to reflect on how the Wisconsin Idea guides our practice. We chose to explore the history of the emergence of the Wisconsin Idea in an attempt to renew and clarify our vision for why and how we engage with the public to address pressing issues. It turns out that the history of the University’s engagement with the State offers much more relevant guidance than we would have imagined. The values that drove the founders of the WI Idea—truth, self- governance, egalitarianism, integrity, trust and social capital—are the same values that represent effective, democratic partnerships today. It’s evident in our practice, and now it’s evident in our history as well, thanks to the work of Gwen Drury, Ph.D. student in Educational Policy and Leadership Analysis at UW-Madison. The rich history she details here brings us closer to our best practices—equitable, reciprocal engagement in which knowledge is co-created by the University and communities working together on issues that matter to all of us.

So when you are the go-to guy for everybody who wants access to James Thomson, a man who’d much rather be in the lab than in the media’s glare, you learn to say no more often than you’d like. By Terry Devitt ’78, MA’85 Seriously Funny 22 Some thought that Ben Karlin ’93 was walking away from success when he left his job as executive producer for TV’s The Daily 18 Show and The Colbert Report. But, as he explains in this conversation with On Wisconsin, he was simply charting a comedic path that includes a new book and his own production company. By Jenny Price ’96 Can of Worms 28 Graduate students have more to worry about than grades — there’s also research, funding, and, as the students working in one lab discovered, their mentor’s ethics. While PhD candidate Amy Hubert x’08 aims to overcome scandal and put the finishing touches on her degree, the UW struggles to protect the students who will create the future of science. 22 By John Allen INSIDE Campus on $5 a Day LETTERS 4 34 If a bill featuring Abe’s face is burning a hole in your pocket, SIFTING & WINNOWING 9 you’d be amazed to learn what it can buy on campus.

  • Un-Priced 2021 Catalog in PDF Format

Who knew then that we were only months away from a global pandemic that would disrupt everything we thought of as normal, and that the ensuing shutdown would cause such increased interest in gardening? This past year has been a rollercoaster ride for all of us in the nursery and landscape trades. The demand for plants so exceeded the supply that it caused major plant availability shortages, and then the freeze in Texas further exacerbated this situation. To ensure that our customers came first, we did not sell any plants out-of-state, and we continue to work hard to refill the empty spaces left in our field. In the chaos of the situation, we also decided not to produce a 2020 catalog, and this current catalog is coming out so late that we intend it to be a two-year edition. Some items listed may not be available until early next year, so we encourage customers to look to our website Primelist which is updated weekly to view our current availability. As in the past, we continue to grow the many tried-and-true favorite plants that have proven themselves in our warming mediterranean climate. We have also added 245 exciting new plants that are listed in the back of this catalog. With sincere appreciation to all our customers, it is our hope that 2021 and 2022 will be excellent years for horticulture!

  • October 10, 2019 Chancellor Rebecca
    October 10, 2019 Chancellor Rebecca Blank Office of the Chancellor 161 Bascom Hall 500 Lincoln Drive Madison, WI 53706 RE: Student Free Speech and Safety Concerns Dear Chancellor Blank, I am writing to you today regarding a very troubling event that took place this past Wednesday on your campus and which has been widely reported in local and online media. As reported by the Wisconsin State Journal, a UW-Madison student was video-taped defacing the windows of the UW-Madison College Republicans’ office on campus with demeaning signs containing highly-charged, visceral language which were seemingly meant to intimidate and cause a disturbance. Additionally, the student engaging in this behavior was doing so while blaring a song on her phone entitled “FDT” (F*** Donald Trump) by rapper YG which, in addition to explicit language, contain inferences towards the harming of the President of the United States. Further, according to the Wisconsin State Journal article reporting the matter, when a university employee approached the student requesting that she please stop, the student replied with an expletive and aggressive language and refused to stop. The article continues, “Two female students were in the office during the duration of the [events] and Christens said they feared for their safety, afraid to leave because of the demonstrator’s aggressive behavior.” As a result of these events, I am requesting a thorough investigation into this matter by you, the UW’s Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards, and the UW Police Department. Additionally, I request that you provide me – consistent with all laws and regulations - with a complete report as to the process UW will be using to investigate and respond, findings from the investigation, including any disciplinary actions resulting therefrom, as well as any modifications and/or clarifications to UW’s campus free speech policy and any anti-intimidation and anti- harassment policy.
