History

[edit]

Founding and early history

[edit]
Iowa Old Capitol Building, Iowa City, 1855

The University of Iowa was founded on February 25, 1847, just 59 days after Iowa was admitted to theUnion. The Constitution of the State of Iowa refers to a State University to be established in Iowa City "without branches at any other place."[14]The legal name of the university is theState University of Iowa, but theBoard of Regentsapproved using "The University of Iowa" for everyday usage in October 1964.[15]

The first faculty offered instruction at the university beginning in March 1855 to students in the Old Mechanics Building, located where the student recreational area east of Van Allen Hall is now.[16]In September 1855, there were 124 students, of whom forty-one were women. The 1856–57 catalog listed nine departments offeringancient languages, modern languages, intellectualphilosophy,moral philosophy,history,natural history,mathematics,natural philosophy, andchemistry. The first president of the university wasAmos Dean.

The original campus consisted of theIowa Old Capitol Buildingand the 10 acres (40,000 m2) (4.05 hectares) of land on which it stood. Following the placing of the cornerstone July 4, 1840, the building housed the Fifth Legislative Assembly of theTerritory of Iowa(December 5, 1842) and then became the first capitol building of the State of Iowa on December 28, 1846. Until that date, it had been the third capitol of the Territory of Iowa. When the capitol of Iowa was moved toDes Moinesin 1857, the Old Capitol became the first permanent "home" of the university.

In 1855, the university became the first public university in the United States toadmit men and women on an equal basis.[17]In addition, Iowa was the world's first university to accept creative work in theater, writing, music, and art on an equal basis with academic research.[18]

The university was one of the first institutions in America to grant a law degree to a woman (Mary B. Hickey Wilkinson, 1873), to grant a law degree to an African American (Alexander G. Clark, Jr.in 1879), and to put an African American on a varsity athletic squad (Frank Holbrookin 1895). The university awarded its firstdoctoratein 1898.[18]

20th century–present

The University of Iowa established the first law school and dental school[19]west of theMississippi River. It was the first university to use radio (later television, too) in education, in 1932, and it pioneered in the field ofstandardized testing.[20]Also, the University of Iowa was the first Big Ten institution to promote an African American to the position of administrative vice president (Phillip Hubbard, promoted in 1966).

Under the leadership of Carl Seashore in 1922, Iowa became the first university in the United States to accept creative projects as theses for advanced degrees. Traditionally, graduate study culminates in the writing of a scholarly thesis, but Iowa accepted creative works including a collection of poems, a musical composition, or a series of paintings to be presented to the graduate college in support of a degree. In so doing, Iowa established a creative standard in qualifying for the Master of Fine Arts degree and secured a place for writers and artists in the academy. The university's Program in Creative Writing, known worldwide as theIowa Writers' Workshop, was founded in 1936 with the gathering together of writers of both poetry and fiction. It was the first creative writing program in the country, and it became the prototype for more than 300 writing programs, many of which were founded by Workshop alumni. The workshop remains the most prestigious creative writing program in the country and one of the most selective graduate programs of any kind, typically admitting fewer than five percent of its applicants.

TheU.S. Atomic Energy Commissionconductedseveral experimentsexamining the effects ofiodine-131administration in pregnant women (scheduled for abortions) and infants in 1953 and 1963, respectively.[21][22][23]

The university was the first state university to recognize the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Allied Union (in 1970).[24]

A shooting took place on campuson November 1, 1991. Six people died in the shooting, including the perpetrator, and one other person was wounded. This was one of the deadliest university campus shootings in United States history.

In the summer of 2008, flood waters breached the Coralville Reservoir spillway, damaging more than 20 major campus buildings.[25]Several weeks after the floodwaters receded, university officials placed a preliminary estimate on flood damage at $231.75 million. Later, the university estimated that repairs would cost about $743 million.[26]The reconstruction and renovation work took a decade, but the university has recovered and taken several preventive measures with the hope of avoiding a tragic repeat of the event.[27]

In January 2009,UNESCOdesignated Iowa City the world's thirdCity of Literature, making it part of the UNESCOCreative Cities Network.[28][29]

In 2015, theIowa Board of RegentsselectedBruce Harreld, a business consultant with limited experience in academic administration, to succeed Sally Mason as president. The regents' choice of Harreld provoked criticism and controversy on the UI campus due to his corporate background, lack of history in leading an institution of higher education, and the circumstances related to the search process.[30][31][32][33]The regents said they had based their decision on the belief that Harreld could limit costs and find new sources of revenue beyond tuition in an age of declining state support for universities.[32]

The University of Iowa's main campus is inIowa City. The campus is roughly bordered by Park Road and U.S. Highway 6 to the north and Dubuque and Gilbert streets to the east. TheIowa Riverflows through the campus, dividing it into west and east sides.

Of architectural note is thePentacrestwhich comprises five major buildings—Old Capitol, Schaeffer Hall, MacLean Hall, Macbride Hall, and Jessup Hall—at the center of the University of Iowa Campus. The Pentacrest reflects theBeaux-Artsin addition toGreek Revivalarchitectural styles and theCollegiate Gothicarchitecture, which is dominant in sections of the campus east of theIowa River. The Old Capitol was once the home of the state legislature and the primary government building for the State of Iowa but is now the symbolic heart of the university with a restored ceremonial legislative chamber and a museum of Iowa history.

Also on the east side of the campus are six residence halls (Burge, Daum, Stanley, Currier, Mayflower, and Catlett), the Iowa Memorial Union, theWomen's Resource & Action Center, the Pappajohn Business Building, Seamans Center for the Engineering Arts and Sciences, the Lindquist Center (home of the College of Education), Phillips Hall (the foreign language building), Van Allen Hall (home to physics and astronomy), Trowbridge Hall (home to Earth & Environmental Sciences, as well as the Iowa Geological Survey), the English-Philosophy Building, the Becker Communication Building, the Adler Journalism Building,Voxman Music Building, and the buildings for biology, chemistry, and psychology. The Main Library can also be found on the east side.

The Colleges of Law, Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, Pharmacy, andPublic healthare on the west side of the Iowa River, along with theUniversity of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, Art Building West and Visual Arts Building, and the Theatre Building. Additionally, five residence halls (Hillcrest, Slater, Rienow, Parklawn, and Petersen),Kinnick Stadium, andCarver-Hawkeye Arenaare located on the west campus.

The campus is home to several museums, including theUniversity of Iowa Stanley Museum of Art, theMuseum of Natural History, the Old Capitol Museum, the Medical Museum, the Athletic Hall of Fame and Museum, and Project Art at the University Hospitals and Clinics.

A flood of the Iowa River in 2008 had a major impact on several campus buildings, forcing many to temporarily or permanently close. The upper levels of the Iowa Memorial Union remained open while its lower level was renovated. The arts campus, which included Art Building West, Old Art Building, Hancher Auditorium, Voxman Music Building, Clapp Recital Hall, and the Theatre Building, sustained significant damage. Art Building West reopened in 2012 after repairs were completed. Sections of Old Art Building were razed, leaving only the historic WPA-era building, which includes regionalist artist Grant Wood's former studio. Esteemed artists Elizabeth Catlett, Ana Mendieta, and Charles Ray were all trained in this building. The new Visual Arts Building was opened on a higher plot of land adjacent to Art Building West in 2016 after years when studio arts were housed in a temporary facility. Hancher Auditorium was rebuilt near its current site on the West bank of the Iowa River, and Voxman Music Hall was constructed adjacent to downtown Iowa City and the main campus on South Clinton Street. The new Hancher Auditorium and the new Voxman Music Building opened in 2016.

The Oakdale Campus, which is home to some of the university's research facilities and the driving simulator, is located north ofInterstate 80in adjacentCoralville.

Campus public art collection

[edit]

The University of Iowa holds and continues to commission an extensive collection of public art. The program began under the Iowa State 'Art in State Buildings Program,' one of the first percent for art programs in the United States[34]since repealed in 2017. The collection includes many important works, including works by artists Sol LeWitt (2-3-1-1, 1994),El Anatsui(Anonymous Creature 2009),Dale Chihuly(Forest Amber and Gilded Chandelier, 2004),Auguste Rodin(Jean de Fiennes, draped, 1889), andPeter Randall-Page(Ridge and Furrow, 2011).[35]
