Members of my doctoral committee at the University of Illinois at Urbana-ChampaignDrs. Terry O'Banion, Jo Ann Fley, Clarence Karier, Robert Pingry, Paul Riegel, and Paul Violas- -wore all help- ful beyond words. Dr. O'Banion in particular supported my research efforts after the dissertation stage. His guidance and personal encouragement were immensely valuable. Many librarians throughout the nation, from Washington, D.C., to Cali- fornia, fr3ely offered needed assistance. Facilities granted to me at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and at the Los Angeles and Santa Barbara campuses of the University of California were much appreciated and fully used.. Mr. Jack Gernhart of the staff of the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges in Washington, D.C. was remarkably helpful in providing materials and workspace for my investigation there. A grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities enabled me to carry my research into areas of significance untouched by my doctoral 3tudy. Without such help, I could not have completed this work. My wife, Peggy, provided needed encouragement and was my most careful and competent assistant in the preparation of the manuscript. Added to her responsibilities as wife, mother, and teacher, her burden was not an easy one. Others, to:numerous to mention, reacted to the manuscript and provided insights and corrections. My appreciation for all those instrumental in the execution 'sf this work is limitless. TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER Page I.

Bogue1 The segment of American education that Jesse P. Bogue charged was being neglected by American historians in 1950 was one that went by various names: junior colleges, community colleges, two-year colleges, city colleges, technical institutes, and people's colleges. As Executive Secretary of the American Association of Junior Colleges (AAJC), an or- ganization that encompassed institutions with all of the above-mentioned titles, Bogue was very much aware of the lack of historical materials describing and explaining the half-century old community-junior college movement. With over 600 institutions in AAJC by 1950, Bogue had suffi- cient reason to question why they had escaped the historian's notice. Now, in 1973, there are over a thousand such institutions in existence, and there is still precious little information yielding any historical perspective. 1Jesse P. Bogue, The Community College (New York: McGraw-Hill Book Co., 1950), p.135. 5 6 Historical SiDnificance of the CommunitJunior-College Movement The phenominal growth of the community-junior college movement does not itself justify an intensive historical study. But more is involved in this movement than a mere proliferation of institutions. Major currents of educational reform, reflecting the hopes and the fears of the larger American society, have guided the path of the community-junior college movement. The dominant social value placed upon efficiency, social intelli- gence, and a rationalized work force had underscored the public acceptance of the movement. The ostensibly simple debate over reorganizing oublic education on a 8.4-4 Year Flan or a 6-3-3.2 Year Plan, for instance, was more than an argument over administrative convenience and economyrather it reflected an overwhelming concern for efficiency, with efficiency defined as a moral virtue as well as an economic gain. The progressive education movement, as another example, which attempted to alter all educational insti- tutions in the early twentieth century, found that its basic rhetoric became most permanently embedded in the ideology of the then-blossoming community- junior college movement. The social importance of curricular reforms in vocational education and general education was nowhere voiced more strongly than by spokesmen for the community-junior college. And the birth of the student personnel movement not only coincided with the birth of the commu- nity-junior college movementthey were, in fact, meshed together. Still today the most articulate 'advocates for the ustudont-personnel-point-of- view,' exist in the nation's community junior-colleges. Rich as it is in historical significance, the history of the community. junior college has been little explored. Despite the fact that the history of the community-junior college intertwines with that of secondary and higher education, noted historians in both fields have altogether overlooked the significance of the movement.'Within the community-junior college it has become a cliche to speak of an identity crisis, partly in recognition of an unexplored past and partly out of dismay with confusion today.2Beneath the omission of the historian and beyond the myopia of the community-junior college "establishment" lies a fertile field of study. This study seeks to enter that realm. Definitions At the outset it is important to clarify some terminology. In this study the term "community - junior college" is used as if it were a definite entity. Actually, the terms "junior college" and "community college" are more commonly used to refer to particular two-year institutions. The value of the term "community-junior college" is that it symbolizes the interrela. tionship between two major ideas in the movement-- (1) that the institutions shall be integrately bound to their local communities, and (2) that the in- stitutions shall faithfully duplicate the first two years of four-year, senior institutions. Furthermore the term "community-junior college" is historical in nature, reflecting the common roots and development of the many various two year institutions that today enroll more than half of the nation's freshmen and sophomore students. 1Three standard histories of American higher education have not allotted more than five paves collectively

    NPS Form 10-900-a (Rev. 8/2002) OMB No. 1024-0018 (Expires 5-31-2012) United States Department of the Interior Prospect Park ResidentialPut Here Historic District National Park Service Name of Property Hennepin County, MN County and State National Register of Historic Places N/A Continuation Sheet Name of multiple listing (if applicable) Section number 8 Page 1 NARRATIVE STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The civil engineers who laid out the Prospect Park plats, Samuel Harlan Baker and Joseph H. Gilmore, were influenced by the work of their contemporary, Horace William Shaler (H. W. S.) Cleveland, and the picturesque landscape designs that are a hallmark of the era. Upon the framework of these plats, the residents shaped Prospect Park’s character and appearance. The neighborhood is significant as the home of the first community association in the city of Minneapolis, the Prospect Park Improvement Association (PPIA). The PPIA quickly established itself as a major influence, effecting changes ranging from the removal of weeds to the construction of the neighborhood’s iconic water tower. The community’s culture was enriched by its proximity to the University of Minnesota, which drew many academics to Prospect Park. The Prospect Park Historic District is one of three suburban-type developments that were established in Minneapolis in the late nineteenth century. While the architectural design in the other two, Kenwood and Washburn Park, is relatively homogeneous, following the pattern of many of the city’s neighborhoods, the houses in Prospect Park display a spectrum of the residential styles that appeared in Minneapolis during the late nineteenth century and the twentieth century.

  • Report of the Task Force on Building Names and Institutional History
    Report of the Task Force on Building Names and Institutional History university-history.dl.umn.edu February 25, 2019 This version includes proofreading corrections, copyediting clarifications, stylistic and formatting adjustments. Executive Summary of the Report Our report begins with a recap of the establishment of the Task Force on Building Names and Institutional History, the charge and work of the Task Force, and the foundation of that work in core University values and the principles for naming and renaming significant University assets recommended by last year’s President’s and Provost’s Advisory Committee on University History (the “Coleman Committee”). We review public input to the Task Force and then present the four cases we were charged with considering. In examining these cases, we provide a review of the individual’s career, including accomplishments as well as actions that have drawn sharp criticism. As called for by the Coleman Committee, after reviewing their careers we provide a set of arguments for and against removing the name from each building. We conclude each case analysis by applying the principles of change, diversity, preservation, exceptionality, and deliberation, as recommended by the Coleman Committee, to determine whether removing a name from a building is warranted. Our report concludes with a discussion of initiatives beyond naming that might be taken up by the permanent Advisory Committee to the President on University History that will begin its work this semester. President Eric Kaler and Executive Vice President and Provost Karen Hanson charged Task Force members on October 4, 2018, calling on the Task Force to “recommend actions regarding the specific buildings mentioned in ‘A Campus Divided’ (Coffman Memorial Union, Coffey Hall, Middlebrook Hall, and Nicholson Hall) and the Minnesota Student Association proposal to rename Coffman Memorial Union” and to utilize tools to gather community feedback on the buildings in question.
