Indiana University In 1861-62, Professor Richard Owen was Colonel commanding at Camp Morton. Indianapolis. He was also a physician and a gentleman full of fatherly kind- ness. Through the bitter winter, the soldier-physician went from cot to cot giving the Confederate prisoners of war such care as he would have given his own sons. Fifty years later. Confederate veterans did not forget the commandant and joined in a subscription to erect a statue in his honor. The statue was unveiled in the Slate House. Indianapolis, in 1913. Thus the eminent scholar and soldier, so long part of the glory of In- diana, has a monument unique in the history of the world. A replica of this slalue should be erected on the campus of the University, [Page 8] ,-;» r !;MflS

1 t THE BOATMAN The picture reproduced above is probably the premier picture of Dr. T. C. Steele. Painted in 1884 in his student days in Munich, Germany, the picture received first award in competition with all art students in the country that year. Schools then had German kings as their patrons, and each year the best picture was selected. Had it remained in Germany, it would eventually have gone into the royal art gallery. The picture for many years has been owned by Leibers, in Indianapolis. •■• [Page 9] ir,jI ' j,t„..iM ' ' Tiflt '
