Occasionally, farm or ranch houses and barns stretch across this great track. If one's neighbor happens to be a Kan- san, and is asked as to the reason of the peculiar appearance of the curious, road-like section that goes on into the distance, he will say it is all that remains of the Chisholm, or perhaps the Old Shawnee, cattle trail that, early in the last half of the nineteenth century, formed the avenues over which poured millions of cattle from Texas on their way to Northern stockyards, and the markets of the Eastern and Middle States.

    F ALL THE BELLS OF IOWA STATE 2019 C OMMEN C EMENT THE HISTORY OF “THE BELLS OF IOWA STATE” James C. Wilson (1900-1995) was a member of Iowa State’s English faculty from 1928 to 1931. He had to resign due to his lack of a Ph.D., and prior to his departure, he submitted a college song candidate for a song contest sponsored by the Iowa State Club of Chicago. Jim and his wife, Alice, moved to Chicago where as he notes, “We (in addition to their two babies) had $212 in cash from my last paycheck, our five-year-old Chevrolet, and the tent.” He won first place with “The Bells of Iowa State,” and the family was able to purchase a Iowa State University Library Special Collections Department small cottage on Lake Michigan. FALL COMMENCEMENT “When I wrote ‘The Bells of Iowa State,’ I thought then that it had much more depth and FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2019 emotion than your basic football fight song,” Wilson said. “Its continuing popularity leaves SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 2019 me very pleased, not so much because it’s my own song, but because it has had such a good effect on those who have been touched by it.” (The Iowa Stater, June 1983) Dear Iowa State University Graduates and Guests: Congratulations to all of the Fall 2019 graduates of Iowa State University! Welcome to Iowa State University’s Fall 2019 Commencement. Congratulations to all of the graduates, and thank you to everyone who played a role in their successful journey through Iowa State.

For its 2017 Bicentennial, the University undertook the most significant updating of the Encyclopedia since the original, focusing on academic units. Entries from all versions are compiled in the Bicentennial digital and print-on-demand edition. This book was produced using Pressbooks.com, and PDF rendering was done by PrinceXML. Contents 1.

School of Dentistry (2016) 41 Jerry Mastey [1] School of Dentistry (1942) Russell Welford Bunting THE University of Michigan was the first state university in the world and the second university in this country to offer education in dentistry. When the College of Dental Surgery was established by the Board of Regents in 1875, dentistry was for the most part a craft. The training of its practitioners was largely technical, and they knew little of scientific or health relationships. With the exception of Harvard Dental College, dental schools of that time were privately owned and operated and had little or no connection with universities or other educational institutions. The members of the Michigan State Dental Society early realized the need for dental education on a university level, and in 1866 they presented to the Board of Regents a memorial requesting “the establishment of a Chair of Dental Hygiene, and one of Mechanical Dentistry and Metallurgy” in the Medical Department of the University (R.P., 1864-70, p.
