Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illinois, the Origins: An Address by Clarence Walworth Alvord, Ph. D., Associate Professor of History, University of Illinois, Before the Trustees, Faculty, and Students of the Western Illinois State Normal School, Friday, December, 3, 1909 There is another way in which we are proclaiming our pride in the past of our state that IS equally significant, namely, through the work of our historians. Perhaps in no state in the Union is there greater activity in the study of local history than is found in Illinois. Our State Historical Society is among the largest. The State Historical Library is showing an activity which rivals the work of any other institution of similar kind and is, I hope, wisely expending the appropriations made by the legislature. There is a praiseworthy activity in the local historical societies; and the individuals who are working upon Illinois history are in creasing in numbers every year. The state legislature, aside from its appropriation to the State Historical Library, has displayed its interest in another way, by passing a bill re quiring a knowledge of state history from all candidates for teachers positions. This action on the part of the legisla ture may be open to criticism; but, from our view-point to night, it is an exhibition of state pride, of the consciousness of a past, the knowledge of which is regarded as a valuable acquisition for the citizens of this community. This development of an appreciation of the state's past among our people should be a cause of congratulation, for the result of this energy, although it may be occasionally misdirected, will finally exercise great in uence upon our citizens, when our true history is better known, because we have a past that has been of great value to humanity, a past which, on the whole, we may contemplate with pride.
