Women have been part of Indiana University for 150 of its nearly 200 years, instrumental ac-

tors in the development of its excellence and its institutional character. And yet, to look

around IU’s campuses we see relatively few examples of institutional recognition for these

contributions, in either symbolic or physical form. The University’s Bicentennial affords a

unique opportunity to uncover more of IU’s history as well as the stories of the many people of

diverse backgrounds who have made IU what it is today. From Sarah Parke Morrison, IU’s first

female student, faculty member, and philanthropist; to Alice MacDonald Nelson, who pio-

neered the system of residence education at IU and in higher education more broadly; to

Ingeborg Schmidt, a vision scientist who discovered the genetic marker for color blindness; to

Martha Dawson, whose work in multicultural education shaped generations of educators and

scholars; to Elinor Ostrom, the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Economics; and many

more, IU women have been changing the world. This talk will describe the projects underway

to bridge this visibility gap, including the Women’s Portrait Gallery in the IMU, and how they

are being fueled by women’s philanthropy today.

wide oral history program for the Indiana University Bicentennial in 2020.

Forging partnerships with all seven IU campuses, units, outreach and market-

A big THANK YOU for the generous donations of our Life Members in 2017! With your help last year we purchased a microwave and a coffee pot for the Presidents’ Room kitchen, and also new sound system and sound board to accommodate the luncheon speakers, live music and PowerPoint presentations. We still need funds to refurbish the grand piano in the Faculty Room. Our top priority now is the pur-chase of a new office computer to replace our ten-year-old one, which we are nurs-ing along daily. We hope you will consider becoming a Life Sponsor by contrib-uting to the replacement fund and mailing your check today. Please make your check payable to the University Club. Your special gift, in any amount, will aid with the upkeep of our Club and maintain our beautiful rooms.

MAH JONGG

The University Club has a new Interest Group!

Mah Jongg is a tile-based game that originated in China. It is commonly played by four

players. The game is played with a set of 144 tiles based on Chinese charac-

ters and symbols, although some regional variations may omit some tiles and/or add

unique tiles. In most variations, each player begins by receiving 13 tiles. In turn, players

draw and discard tiles until they complete a legal hand using the 14th drawn tile to form 4 melds (or sets) and a pair

(eye). The Mah Jongg group meets each Friday. For more information, please contact the group chair.

Currently we have two tables of Mah Jongg and are open to new members who know how to play or are interested

in learning the game. We are playing American style but may approach Chinese style later.

HIKING IN SOUTHERN INDIANA

The hiking group this year is doing four hikes, two at The Nature Conservancy properties and two on Sycamore

Land Trust properties. In the fall, hikers explored Green's Bluff in Owen County under the guidance of Angela

Sturdevant and the Amy Weingartner Branigin Peninsula Preserve under the guidance of Shane Gibson. We are

anticipating two hikes in the winter/spring season.

Six hearty souls hiked the Amy Weingartner Branigin Peninsula Preserve

on November 8th. Shane Gibson of the Sycamore Land Trust (SLT) was

our guide. He provided an interesting historical perspective about the area

as he guided us along the peninsula. The land was a part of Shawnee

Bluffs Camp owned by Indiana University Alumni Association. When the

camp was sold, 48-acres was preserved as hardwood forest with trails to

the peninsula. This property just north of the causeway on Lake Monroe

is nestled among the residential properties on Rush Ridge Road off Ind

446. We were welcomed to the shore by a persimmon tree with fruit to

taste. Hikers enjoyed the brisk, sunny weather and good company. The group's next hike will be in March so stay tuned for the details of where that will be. If you want to join this

group, contact Kathleen Boggess, [email protected].
