REVIEWS

Butler University A Sesquicentennial History

By George M. Waller

(Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2006. Pp. xvi, 506. Illustrations, appendix, select bibliography, index. $35.00.)

Not infrequently a university, preparing to celebrate a major institutional anniversary, calls upon one of its veteran historians or recently retired presidents to write an official record of its past. Such was the case with this book. George Macgregor ("Mac") Waller was a much-honored (e.g., Phi Beta Kappa state president, Fulbright Professor, Sagamore of the Wabash, Butler Medal recipient), and long-serving (1954–1990) professor at Butler, where he specialized in colonial American history. This history of Butler was his retirement project, which he had essentially completed by the time of his death in 2003. His widow Martha, Butler historian Paul Hanson, Butler librarian Sally Childs-Helton, and Indiana University Press editor Roberta Diehl transformed and abridged the manuscript into the book. The complete original manuscript, with footnotes, is available in the Special Collections of the Butler University Irvin Library.
