Excerpt from The Oak, 1929, Vol. 18 When, in the sixties, a small group of people interested in teacher train ng institutions drew up plans for a school at Indiana, their visions and dreams far exceeded their ability to realize them. About twenty thousand dollars were available in 1869, and with this as a start, the institution began to grow. On May 17, 1875, the school was formally opened. James P. Wicker sham, then State Superintendent of Public Instruction, was the chief speaker, and he congratulated the founders upon the excellency and dur ability oi that building which still stands as a reminder of the first president of the board of trustees, John Sutton Hall. In 1875 there was an enrollment of 306 students; in 1880, of 375, and in 1885, of 557. The present enrollment of 1400 shows the enormous growth which the school has seen. In 1893 a dormitory for men students was built but was burned to the ground on December 4, 1905. Plans for a new dormitory were immediately begun, and upon its completion, the new building was named Clark Hall, in honor of the board's second president, Justice Silas M. Clark, of the Supreme Court Bench. The cornerstone was laid on Monday, June 4, 1906, and several prominent men of the town were present as speakers. A tin box containing a baseball with the indiana-kiski score on it, the class roll, the list of trustees, the faculty, recent copies of the Indiana Evening Gazette and a Pittsburgh paper, and the picture and biography of the late Hon. Silas M. Clark, was placed in the cornerstone, on the face of which were carved the figures '06. In the same year the Model or Training School, containing eight rooms, was erected to the north of the main building. This building is known as Wilson Hall and was named in honor of the third president of the board of trustees, A. W. Wilson.

"A female investigator every bit as brainy and battle-hardened as Lisbeth Salander." —Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air, on Maisie Dobbs Maisie Dobbs got her start as a maid in an aristocratic London household when she was thirteen. Her employer, suffragette Lady Rowan Compton, soon became her patron, taking the remarkably bright youngster under her wing. Lady Rowan's friend, Maurice Blanche, often retained as an investigator by the European elite, recognized Maisie’s intuitive gifts and helped her earn admission to the prestigious Girton College in Cambridge, where Maisie planned to complete her education. The outbreak of war changed everything. Maisie trained as a nurse, then left for France to serve at the Front, where she found—and lost—an important part of herself. Ten years after the Armistice, in the spring of 1929, Maisie sets out on her own as a private investigator, one who has learned that coincidences are meaningful, and truth elusive. Her very first case involves suspected infidelity but reveals something very different. In the aftermath of the Great War, a former officer has founded a working farm known as The Retreat, that acts as a convalescent refuge for ex-soldiers too shattered to resume normal life. When Fate brings Maisie a second case involving The Retreat, she must finally confront the ghost that has haunted her for over a decade.
Laurelton Hall, Louis Comfort Tiffany's (American, 1848-1933) extraordinary country estate in Oyster Bay, New York, completed in 1905, was the epitome of Tiffany's achievement and in many ways defined this multifaceted artist. Tiffany designed every aspect of the project inside and out, creating a total aesthetic environment. This publication accompanies an exhibition that reveals Tiffany's most personal art, bringing into focus this remarkable artist who lavished as much care and creativity on the design and furnishing of his home and gardens as he did on all the wide-ranging media in which he worked. Although the house tragically burned to the ground in 1957, many of its surviving architectural elements and interior characteristics are included in this volume. Also featured are Tiffany's personal collections of his own work-breathtaking stained-glass windows, paintings, glass and ceramic vases-as well as the artist's collections of Japanese, Chinese, and Native American works of art. -- Metropolitan Museum of Art website.
