Title

Wagon bed used during sheep shearing, 1904

Description

A two horse team hitched to a wagon bed on which has been built an open framing covered with poultry wire, and in which are six sheep and a man shearing one of the sheep. Temporary signs on the wagon are turned except for one, which reads ""Dorset."" The driver is dressed as for a horse show. Men in suits in the background look on. Old Botany (now Carrie Chapman Catt Hall) can be seen in the background through a heavy screen of trees. The photograph was taken in the fall of 1904, probably on Excursion Day.
The history of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences begins with the founding of the Iowa Agricultural College and Model Farm in 1858, with classes beginning in 1869. As a land-grant institution, Iowa State was founded primarily to provide practical education in agriculture and the mechanic arts. Through the years, agriculture courses and short courses have focused on agricultural engineering, agronomy, animal husbandry, dairying, forestry, and horticulture. In the 21st century, the focus is on animal and the plant sciences, biotechnology life sciences, sustainability, and global development.

Title

Warren B. Kuhn showing microfilm and book storing methods, 1967

Description

Warren B. Kuhn, Dean of the Library, is showing a reel of microfilm. Boxes of microfilm, an envelope of microfiche, and pam boxes with micro-opaques are displayed on the book truck.
The library was first housed in Old Main, which also contained the college's reception room, lecture hall, specimen museum, students' rooms, a chapel, kitchen, laundry, and dining room. An initial purchase of $2,500 for books for the library was made in 1870 by President Welch. The library was moved to Morrill Hall in 1896 and to the Central Building (now Beardshear Hall) in 1913. In 1925, the new library building was completed to house the library's 115,000 volumes under one roof. The new facility was not large enough to allow for adequate expansion and was outgrown within five years. The first addition to the library was completed in 1961, with a second addition completed in 1969 and a third addition was completed in 1983. In 1984, the Iowa State University Library was officially dedicated as the W. Robert and Ellen Sorge Parks Library.

<![CDATA[Water tower construction, 1897]]> https://www.iowaheritage.org/items/show/66655

Title

Water tower construction, 1897

Description

The Water Tower construction site, March 22, 1897, about 4:30 PM. Old Main and the Chemical and Physical Laboratory can be seen in the background.
Erected in 1897, the Water Tower was built to alleviate the water shortage on the Iowa State campus, which in 1895 had forced the cancellation of classes for two weeks. Designed by Anson Marston (Dean of Engineering, 1914-1932), the Water Tower was the first elevated steel water tower west of the Mississippi. Standing 168 feet above campus, the tank itself was 40 feet tall and 24 feet in diameter and held 162,000 gallons. The use of the Water Tower was discontinued in 1978 when the university switched to a city water system. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981, and in 1997, it was restored.
