Architecture On Trial: The Porters And The Pest House, Lynn E. Niedermeier
Lynn E. Niedermeier
When young Amelia Porter contracted smallpox in September 1902, a legal battle ensued between her parents, who wanted her cared for at home, and Bowling Green, Kentucky physician and State Board of Health secretary Dr. Joseph N. McCormack, who demanded that the family be quarantined in the local "pest house" until determined not to be contagious. The lawsuit raised issues of medical expertise, individual rights vs. public safety, the adequacy of Bowling Green's quarantine hospital, and the personality and tactics of McCormack, whose crusades for public health legislation had earned him many enemies.

Review: Intelligent Virtue, Audrey L. Anton
Review: Intelligent Virtue, Audrey L. Anton
Audrey L Anton
Julia Annas' book, Intelligent Virtue, provides the reader a novel account of the nature of virtue, practical reasoning, and flourishing. Throughout the book, Annas presents her account in a gradual manner with each chapter building on the next. Annas periodically presents and argues against potential objections to her view. Suitable for the interested undergraduate non-philosophy major, this book could also serve the curiosities of the most elite professors. While none of the chapters of the book stands well alone, the fluid writing style and helpful examples make the 176-page work an easy read. At the end of each chapter, the …
Virginia's Journey, Lynn E. Niedermeier
Virginia's Journey, Lynn E. Niedermeier
Lynn E. Niedermeier
The forty-year journalism career of Smiths Grove, Kentucky native Virginia Wood Davis (1919-1990) took her to fourteen newspapers in seven Southern states. While breaking down barriers for women as both a reporter and editor, this self-described “hillbilly to hillbillies” lived an extraordinarily independent and frugal life. After she died, those who had always thought of her as poor were astonished at the size of her bequest to her alma mater, Western Kentucky University. This biographical sketch draws from Davis’s own memoir and a collection of her papers housed at Western Kentucky University.

The Duck Supper: Roasting Gender In Early Twentieth-Century Bowling Green, Lynn E. Niedermeier
Lynn E. Niedermeier
In 1901, a scandal rocked Potter College for Young Ladies in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Five students attempted to climb from their dormitory window for a midnight rendezvous with some boys from town. When the college's president, Reverend Benjamin F. Cabell, interrupted the prank, a chaotic exchange of gunfire ensued between him and the boys. Cabell’s subsequent attempt to hush up the matter, his solicitude for the boys, and his harsh treatment of the female students drew outrage from citizens and mockery from the press. Both the incident and its aftermath highlighted the tension, affecting even this small Kentucky town, between …

"I Hope You Can Some Day Have A Bath Room": Bowling Green's Sewer System, Lynn E. Niedermeier
"I Hope You Can Some Day Have A Bath Room": Bowling Green's Sewer System, Lynn E. Niedermeier
Lynn E. Niedermeier
Bowling Green once disposed of its sewage through “sinks,” openings to caverns and underground watercourses in the limestone bedrock beneath the city. By the late nineteenth century, however, the seepage, flooding, odor and disease emanating from clogged sinks—not to mention from the city’s hundreds of unregulated surface privies—posed hazards that could no longer be ignored. Public health advocates intensified their calls for man-made rather than natural sewers to eliminate what one of them called the “gross accumulation of human filth in the city.” Politicians procrastinated and some citizens resisted, but a federal loan in 1932 finally enabled the construction of …
