Iowa's Climate, Paul Waite

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Living, as we are in Iowa, we are well aware of the effects upon our activities of the ever changing climate, which is, in itself, the summation of the even more variable daily weather. No one of us can escape the fact that our climate profoundly affects our energy, occupation, recreation, transportation, shelter, and food supply.

On Visual Art And Camouflage, Roy R. Behrens

Faculty Work

In a number of books on visual fine art and design [1, 2], there is mention of the kinship between camouflage and painting, but no one has, to my knowledge, pursued it. I have intermittently researched this relationship for several years, and my initial observations have recently been published [3]. Now I have been awarded a faculty research grant from the Graduate School of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee to pursue this subject in depth. I am, therefore, collecting documents and personal accounts pertaining to historical and theoretical connections of the kind that are listed below.

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The Rise And Decline Of A Small Midwestern Town, Mitchell, Iowa, Jack D. Frisbie

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

After the frontier had reached the Midwest, settlement proceeded at a rapid pace. When the Black Hawk Purchase opened Iowa to settlers in 1832, farmers and merchants soon replaced the trappers, miners, and fur traders of an earlier era. By the outbreak of the Civil War the state was one-third settled. By 1890 all of the counties in the state had been settled and developed. Such rapid occupation of these lands encouraged dreams of great cities and the creation of country villages in numbers which were excessive for the survival of many. Numerous communities developed only to become ghost towns …

The Fruits Of Iowa Progressivism, 1900-1915, William Lavalle Bowers

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Progressivism in the United States was more than any mere reform movement or revolution directed against an existent system; it was more nearly a national state of mind-- ''a broader impulse "1--which was both critical and reformist. Technically, there was no such thing as a Progressive movement, for there was no organized campaign uniting all the manifold efforts at political, social and economic reform. 2 However, the broader concept given above had many significant and fruitful manifestations during the early part of the twentieth century, and these may justifiably be called "Progressivism" or "the Progressive movement." Progressivism was complex and …
