    Social Life and Social Services in Indianapolis Networks During the Gilded Age and Progressive Era KATHERINE BADERTSCHER ABSTRACT: In late nineteenth-century Indianapolis, a group of citizens, united by social networks, dominated the gov- ernance and management of the city’s social services for several decades. The tight-knit network of men and women worked together at the center of social and philanthropic life. Since its inception in 1879, the Charity Organization Society of Indianapolis (COS) wielded virtual control over social welfare—making it one of the most progressive and powerful philanthropic organizations in the country. An influ- ential coterie of men and women governed, donated to, and volunteered for the COS and many of its sub-agencies. Then, as now, social networks are as essential for us to understand as social entrepreneurs and charismatic leaders. KEYWORDS: Charity Organization Society; social networks; social life; Progressive Era; Indianapolis; philanthropy n nineteenth-century Indianapolis, a group of citizens, united by social Inetworks, dominated the governance and management of the city’s social services for several decades.

    IF WE BUILD IT / THEY WILL COME Working to inspire good design through special events, learning sessions and networking opportunities 2011 NETWORKING / SPECIAL EVENTS Get involved in AIA Indianapolis by attending monthly networking programs, special presentations and events the second Thursday of each month at 5 p.m. AIA Indianapolis meets at interesting venues throughout the Indianapolis metro area. Check out upcoming events at www.aiaindychapter.org. Photo by Betsy Mader Photography “If we build it, they will come.” Yes, the 2010 theme is a take on the famous phrase from the movie, “Field of Dreams,” but it seemed so fitting to set the tone for AIA Indianapolis’ year, as we worked to engage and attract members, get sponsors more involved and leverage programs that would in- spire and encourage great design. In order to meet those goals, the AIA Indianapolis Board of Directors designed a new format with exciting programs and events that members young and old would find interesting, engaging and even entertaining. Immediately following board meetings (on the second Thursday of every month), AIA Indianapolis hosted a program, special event and social networking hour for members and sponsors. This new format took us on the road reminding us of the architectural gems of Indianapolis, such as the Indianapolis War Memorial, the IMA, and the new JW Marriott Hotel and introduced us to de- sign concepts outside our architectural industry, such as the IndyCar Delta Wing. We also recognized and celebrated the design excellence and creativity of our membership with the Architect’s Home Tour and Habitat for Humanity Design Competition.

Tomlinson left it in his will that his estate should be turned into public buildings for the city after his wife also passed. It read " He passed on November 14, 1870. His wife made a contract in 1871 by which the city would take ownership of the property and she would receive $7,000 per year until her death. Tomlinson Hall was then constructed in 1885–86. The approximate cost of the building, with running water and heating, was $137,500. On January 30, 1958, a four- alarm fire engulfed the building. Despite public dissent, the building was razed on July 8, 1958 as it could not be saved. It was not reconstructed. Sunset Terrace: With the end of prohibition in the United States, several night clubs and taverns sprang up along Indiana Avenue after 1933. The Sunset Terrace was one of the many properties within the area owned by brothers Denver and Sea Ferguson.

  • Architectural Significance
    Historic Significance Photo Source: Vegetable Market on Delaware Street, 1905, Indiana Historical Society Collection 33 Monument Circle District Preservation Plan 34 Monument Circle District Preservation Plan HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE City Planning and Development Carved out of the Northwest Territory, Indiana entered the Union as the nineteenth state in 1816. The city of Indianapolis was founded in 1821 as the state capital, when the Indiana State Legisla- ture sought a central location for the city and appointed a committee to choose the site. Once the site was chosen surveyors Alexander Ralston and Elias Fordham were hired to lay out the city, which was proposed as a grid of north-south and east-west streets in a mile square plat. This plat was influenced by the Pierre L’Enfant plan for Washington, D.C., which in turn was in- spired by the royal residence of Versailles. Since Indianapolis was planned as a state capital, the plat sited the State House Square and the Court House Square equidistant from Circle Street (now Monument Circle), located in the center of the Mile Square. The Governor’s house was to be situ- ated in the circular lot framed by Circle Street, and the four city blocks framing the Circle were known as the “Governor’s Square.” Four diagonal streets radiated out from the far corners of the four blocks framing the circle. All streets of the Mile Square were 90 feet wide with the exception of Washington Street, which was 120 feet wide to accommodate its intended use as the capital’s main street. The sale of lots in the new capital city on October 8, 1821 reveal the street’s importance, as lots fronting it com- manded the highest prices.

  • Choosing the Right Path
    MAGAZINE SPRING 2015 The Choosing the right path BUTLER With every pedagogical and strategic decision we make at UNIVERSITY Butler University, we must ask ourselves a crucial question: What will the future of learning look like? Advances in technological quality and access; shifting A MESSAGE demographics; rising educational-delivery costs and student-debt loads; nationwide cuts in public-university from funding; a growing movement among bright young people PRESIDENT to skip the college experience; and the promise of micro- credentialing—among other factors—have forced American JAMES M. universities to recognize that undergraduate education is DANKO in the midst of a profound transformation from which there will be no return. Harvard Professor Clayton Christensen, an expert in disruptive innovation, has asserted that half of all American universities may be bankrupt by 2028. While I view this estimate as high, I do believe that 20 percent is a reasonable prediction. However, I also know that Butler is exceptionally well prepared for this sea change in higher education. As we continue to make thoughtful decisions as a collaborative community, we are ensuring that Butler not only survives for many generations to come, but thrives. In the approaching decades, there will be an ongoing demand among young people and their families for high-quality, traditional, residential undergraduate education. Although the number of schools that offer this campus experience may shrink, those who do it best—including Butler—will succeed. Accordingly, in our Butler 2020 Strategic Plan, we are protecting our University’s unique character by investing in the attributes that define it: outstanding academics within a caring campus community; faculty who are accessible to their students; a commitment to integrate the liberal arts with professional education; learning that emphasizes global perspectives, critical thinking, and meaningful volunteerism; and curricular and extra-curricular programs that prepare graduates for lives of purpose in an increasingly complex world.

Burlingame, Ph.D., Chair Doctoral Committee ______________________________ Robert G. Barrows, Ph.D. March 6, 2015 ______________________________ Nancy Marie Robertson, Ph.D. ______________________________ Philip V. Scarpino, Ph.D. ii Acknowledgments My thanks begin with my doctoral committee. Dwight Burlingame advised me throughout my entire program, chose the perfect readings for me in our dissertation seminar, helped me shape the project, and read each chapter promptly and thoughtfully. His steadfast belief in my scholarship and his infinite kindness have been invaluable. Phil Scarpino and Bob Barrows led the seminars during which my dissertation idea took shape. Nancy Robertson challenged me to look at the work from many different angles and suggested a veritable treasure trove of scholarship upon which to draw. All their questions, comments, guidance, and encouragement have helped my work more than mere words can express. My colleagues in the doctoral program and students in the undergraduate program provided unwavering support as I lovingly talked about my research, “my organization,” and “my time period.” I especially thank Barbara Duffy, who chose the Charity Organization Society of Indianapolis (1879-1883) for her History of Philanthropy doctoral seminar research project. I enjoyed talking about “our women,” sharing our emerging ideas, swapping sources, and basking in one another’s “Eureka!” moments as we made one connection after another.

PRESIDENTS CORNER: BILL LARRISON 1917-2011 Bill Larrison, Hike Leader, Publications Chairman, Club Historian and “Father figure” to so many, passed away after a major heart attack, on January 23rd, 2011. I met Bill on my first hike with the Club in 1999. This was also my first hike ever in my life. Bill was leading a 6- mile long trek through Eagle Creek Park with a large group of really old people. Bill was so welcoming and sincere that instead of running as fast as I could to my car and getting the heck out of there, I stuck it out, completed 6 miles and have added over 4,000 miles to that in the 12 years since.
