This exhibit at the IU Archives (Wells Library) will be recurring Monday – Friday, 8 am – 5 pm, until June 30.

The entry of the United States into World War I on April 6, 1917, caused a rise in patriotism as people across the country sought to contribute to the war effort. At Indiana University, President Bryan urged, “Your first thought every day should be in what you can most effectively serve your country.” In true Hoosier fashion, the students, faculty, and alumni rose admirably to the occasion.

By the fall semester of 1918, 60 percent of the student population had enlisted in the Student Army Training Corps and students, professors, and alumni were sent overseas. Male students enrolled in new Military Science courses to prepare for enlistment, while female students and faculty worked in the on-campus Red Cross Workshop, and on behalf of other war relief work. The Indiana Daily Student kept those on the homefront informed about the progress of the war, especially news of current students and alumni who had enlisted or gone abroad with the Red Cross.

Visit the Indiana University Archives to learn about World War I’s impact on the Hoosier community, view materials ranging from the diary of S.A.T.C. enlistee William R. Ringer, articles from the Indiana Daily Student discussing campus closures, a selection of wartime photographs, and the Indiana University War Service Flag. This exhibit was curated by Indiana University Information and Library Science graduate students Allison Haack and Alessandro Meregaglia.

For the first time in Bloomington history, MCCT will attempt to read the complete dramatic works of William Shakespeare… and we invite the entire Bloomington community to join us!

As Bloomington’s only all-volunteer community theatre troupe, we make participation in the art of theatre open to anyone and everyone , regardless of experience or background. The 25th Anniversary Shakespeare in the Park is our largest participation opportunity yet — the chance for potentially hundreds of local theatre-lovers to engage with the work of one of history’s greatest cultural figures.

For twenty-five years, Monroe County Civic Theater has presented the works of William Shakespeare, free and open to the public.

To celebrate this achievement, MCCT will hold a week-long festival during which the complete dramatic works will be presented as readings, in a variety of venues throughout the city of Bloomington. The festival will culminate with our mainstage production of Hamlet, directed by board vice-president Gregory Morales.

Dr. Lam’s program is internationally recognized, as well as by the Arthritis Foundation and the American Diabetes Association.

About Joel Knapp:
Joel Knapp is “a painter in motion,” restless to capture nature in all its moods and seasons. He is devoted to plein air painting because of its urgency and authenticity. He feels that the essence of a place may only be captured by the artist experiencing it directly. So, he may be found traveling in his camper with easel and paints deployed in front of mountains, rivers, and landscapes of all types, and in cities painting sidewalk cafes and cityscapes both by daylight and streetlight.
Joel and his wife travel throughout North America and Europe attempting to capture nature’s moods firsthand. His award-winning oil paintings have been displayed at the Hoosier Salon and numerous other art shows and “paint-outs” and are a permanent part of corporate and private collections throughout the U.S. and Europe.
Joel uses lively color with oil paint in an impressionistic style to capture a feeling of time and place as he sees it. He says of plein air painting, “It’s such an honest approach to see the light as it hits the scene. The wind in your face; flies in your paint and two hours to create a painting; one must paint fast and loose, go in with your feelings, but using your brain and experience to balance colors, to vibrate and sing, Hallelujah!”
Joel has been a member artist with the Brown County Art Guild since 2011.
Artist’s Statement: “I love to paint and share my blessings with you. I paint both plein air and in the studio. My wife and I love to travel and share our adventures with others through my paintings. I hope you enjoy what you see and experience.”
