This third volume in the history of Indiana University starts with the presidency of Herman B Wells, covers the many changes that occured as a result of World War II, and the presidency of Well's successor, Elvis J. Stahr, Jr. In 1968, when Wells was called back as interim president in 1986, Indiana University stood at the crest of a century and a half of advancement--far exceeding the promise of the tiny frontier seminary of the 1820s.

This illustrated history of the Indiana University-Bloomington School of Education tells the dynamic, 100-year old story of the state’s leading research and teacher education institution. The dynamic story begins with the founding of Indiana University in 1820. Against great odds, Indiana University’s School of Education advanced from a handful of students and professors in the early nineteenth century to one of the top schools of education. As a one-hundredth anniversary volume, the book shifts to 1923 when the School was authorized to award its own degree. From its first research publication, first doctoral degree, and the opening of a laboratory school in 1938, the School grew rapidly. The return of servicemen and women from World War II on the G.I. Bill filled classrooms and brought significant expansion to teacher education. Likewise, the National Defense Education Act of 1958 extended the School’s counseling and guidance programs. International programs flourished, development of educational technology became a national trendsetter, and from 1958 to 1973 the School operated 29 research centers and institutes. Teacher education anchored enrollment at IU’s regional campuses. By the early 1990s, the School had a new home in a national demonstration site for technology in education. The last thirty years have witnessed significant growth in every aspect of the School’s portfolio – state, national, and international service, research, teaching, diversity, and inclusion. IU’s first all-online doctoral program launched in 2011 in instructional systems technology. A living-learning center for teacher education students opened in 2014. In 2020 the School celebrated 50 years of its Global Gateway for Teachers, placing student teachers in 21 countries, the Navajo Nation, and an urban program in Chicago. Looking back on its one hundred years, the School has turned adversity into a thriving institution providing Indiana and the world with outstanding teachers, counselors, educational leaders, and ground-breaking research.

On a hot summer night in 1930, three black teenagers accused of murdering a young white man and raping his girlfriend waited for justice in an Indiana jail. A mob dragged them from the jail and lynched two of them. No one in Marion, Indiana was ever punished for the murders. In this gripping account, James H. Madison refutes the popular perception that lynching was confined to the South, and clarifies 20th century America's painful encounters with race, justice, and memory.

This “definitive biography of Indiana Gov. Paul V. McNutt” shows the politician’s “importance on the national stage" through the Great Depression and WWII (Indianapolis Star). The 34th Governor of Indiana, head of the WWII Federal Security Agency, and ambassador to the Philippines, Paul V. McNutt was a major figure in mid-twentieth century American politics whose White House ambitions were effectively blocked by his friend and rival, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. This historical biography explores McNutt’s life, his era, and his relationship with FDR. McNutt’s life underscores the challenges and changes Americans faced during an age of economic depression, global conflict, and decolonialization. With extensive research and detail, biographer Dean J. Kotlowski sheds light on the expansion of executive power at the state level during the Great Depression, the theory and practice of liberalism as federal administrators understood it in the 1930s and 1940s, the mobilization of the American home front during World War II, and the internal dynamics of the Roosevelt and Truman administrations.
