<span style="display: block; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">Hazel Weakly was born on February 4, 1912, in Westervelt, Illinois. She has two brothers, William and Glen Barnett, and a sister, Vera (Barnett) Wilson. Weakly graduated from The Illinois State Teacher’s college with a Bachelor’s Degree. She received her Master’s Degree and PhD from <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; url(http: ''www.drake.wikispaces.net/i/a.gif); background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; cursor: pointer; padding-right: 10px;">[[http:''www.northwestern.edu|Northwestern University]]</span>. Her college activities included orchestra, drama club, and writers club. After graduating college, she taught at Westervelt public schools from 1928 to 1934, and then taught at Evanston public schools until 1939. In 1939, she returned to Northwestern University as the Supervisor of Student Teaching. Dr. Weakly joined Drake Faculty in 1940.</span><br />

She was a professor, and also the chairperson of the Department of Education. She was well liked and respected by her students. Her students valued and remember her lessons. One bit of advice that she often stressed was to “keep all options open as the helped a child solve problems” (1). Dr. Weakly was a member of Delta Kappa Gamma, and <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; cursor: pointer; padding-right: 10px;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; url(http: ''www.drake.wikispaces.net/i/a.gif); background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; cursor: pointer; padding-right: 10px;">[[http:''www.kdp.org|Kappa Delta Pi]]</span></span> which are both educational honor society. In 1967, she was selected as a member for Mortar Board, which is a National Honor Leadership Society. Not only was Dr. Weakly very active in the Drake Community, she was also very involved in the Des Moines Community, and even outside Des Moines. She published numerous articles on the subjects of teaching and child psychology in periodicals such as “Education Trends”, “Education Method”, “Midland School,” and others. Dr. Weakly was a widely known speaker. She led a series of parent education programs put on by the Des Moines Parent-Teacher Association, and also spoke at High School Graduation Commencement ceremonies, such as at Grinnell High School. Dr. Weakly also spoke about teaching reading to elementary students at conferences in Iowa. She was a member of the United Methodist Church.</span></span><br />

<span style="display: block; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"><br />
<span style="display: block; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">Dr. Weakly’s hard work in her field did not go unrecongnized. In 1972, Drake University awarded Dr. Weakly the highest award that the university gives. Dr. Weakly received the President’s Award for Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching. The award is given in recognition of the "teacher's informed, inspirational dialogue with students, integrity of personal relationships, rigor in intellectual endeavors, and enthusiasm for subject matter" She was also featured in "Who's Who of America", "Who's Who in the Midwest," and Who's Who of American <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 26px;">Women." Perhaps one of the most influential things that Dr. Weakly did in her life was convince a certain student to attend Drake. Dr. Weakly’s husband, William Bowen, who she married in 1947, was a superintendent of Des Moines Schools. Dr. Weakly and her husband encouraged a young man named Bill Buchanan and his girlfriend to attend Drake. Dr. Weakly was very important because she arranged the scholarships for them Buchanan graduated from Drake and married his girlfriend, and the two were immensely successful, and they donated 3 million dollars to Drake, which was used to finance the <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; url(http: ''www.drake.wikispaces.net/i/a.gif); background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; cursor: pointer; padding-right: 10px;">[[http:''cpba.drake.edu/entrep/buchanan|Buchanan Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership]]</span>. The couple has said many times that they would never have gone to Drake if it hadn't been for the scholarships they received. Today there is still a Hazel B. Weakly Scholarship, which provides funds for the education department.</span></span></span><span style="display: block; line-height: 26px; text-align: justify;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 26px;">In 1961, after 21 years of serving Drake University, Dr. Weakly accepted a position at New Mexico State University. She was a professor there and the head of the department of education. She also was the head of the Educational Research Center. She died of a heart attack on July 6th 1976.

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Delta Gamma Fraternity was founded on Christmas in 1873, in Oxford, Mississippi. Eva Webb Dobb, her cousin Anna Boyd Ellington, and their friend Mary Comfort Lennon, were stuck at Lewis School in Oxford, Mississippi over Christmas break to due to bad weather. One of their male cousins was in a fraternity at a near by university, and they decided to start a fraternity for women. This was their the word sorority came into use. That day, they wrote out the first constitution and bylaws of Delta Gamma. The three women planned to initiate more members after the holidays. They didn’t receive any help, and picked the letters of out of a Greek grammar book. At the early meetings they would assign research papers and study, because at school they were only educated in the arts didn’t have oppertunities to study math or science.[1] Delta Gamma's Alpha Lambda Chapter was established in 1921, along with chapters of Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta.[2]</span><br />

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The presidential mansion is located at 227 37th Street. Drake University purchased the house 67 years ago, and to this day 5 presidents and their families have lived in the spacious mansion. It was built in 1905, but it remains beautiful today thanks to numerous renovations. When the house was originally built in 1905, it was worth about $26,000, and in 2004, its value had skyrocketed to $818, 830.[1] </span>Drake University came into possession of the home on December 28, 1943. The house was purchased from the Prouty family, for Drake University by an anonymous, with the intent that it would become home to presidents and their families. Currently, <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; cursor: pointer; padding-right: 10px;">[http://www.drake.edu/president/shortbio.php President David Maxwell]</span>and his wife Maddy reside in the mansion. The has seven bedrooms and five bathrooms. It is on 2 acres of land and has 5500 square feet of living space.<br />

It was extremely luxurious and grand. Guernsey was an attourney, and he only lived in thehouse for a short time because he moved to New York. In New Yor[[File:GoogleEarth_Image.jpg|x232px|right|Located]]k, he went on to become vice president AT&T. In October of 1908, it was featured in “The Midwestern”. Charles Prouty was the next resident of the mansion when he purchased it from Guersney. He lived there for 28 years. Prouty was a successful businessman as the president of Prouty & Bowler Soap Company. He retired in 1935, but he continued to live in the mansion with his wife until his death in 1940. While living in the mansion, he was known for having lots of parties and benefits.Drake University acquired the house in 1943, and they did a few renovations before the first presidential resident, Henry Harmon moved in. Dr. Harmon was president of Drake University from 1941 to 1964.[1] The house was in kind of bad shape at this time, according to Harmon’s daughter. Henry Harmon served the longest of any Drake President, and the largest building on campus, the Harmon fine arts center, was named after him. During the time that the Harmons lived in the house, many renovations were made. The other presidents that lived in the house were Dr. Paul Frederick Sharp, Dr. Wilbur C. Miller, Dr. Michael Ferrari, and the current president, Dr. Maxwell. Dr. Robert Ray was interim president in 1998, and did not live in the house.</span>'''</span>=== <br />

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The basement of the Maxwell’s residence is a casual area that they frequently use to entertain students. The comfy couches and big screen television create a comfortable atmosphere for young adults. A very interesting feature of the basement is the fireplace. It is from the original construction, and still has all of the original fireplace tools. Another interesting feature is a tunnel that connects the basement to the garage. Obviously this underground tunnel is not used anymore, but it used to be used for heating. The coal would be burned in the garage, and it would go through the tunnel to the basement, and the house. The house was heated in this way until 1966, when Paul Sharp was president. The laundry room is interesting because while it has new washing and drying machines, the washing sinks are still the original porcelain. The basement also has many storage areas, some of which are used to hold the house’s extensive catering supplies.</span><br />

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[[File:bookshelves.jpg|x210px|right|courtesy]]</span><br />
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The ground floor the residence is beautifully decorated. In 1908, mansion was featured in the “Midwestern.” The magazine article raves about the perfect color schemes and the “exquisite harmony” that is present in the interior design. Though the house was featuredthan 100 years ago, it still has very much charm and beauty. Most of the furniture that is in the house right now is the Maxwell’s, but there are a few pieces that came with the house and are part of its history. The first floor contains the kitchen, the dining room, a living room, the president’s office, and a sunroom. The kitchen was renovated in 1961, and was featured in “Better Homes & Gardens”.[2] The kitchen features an island and granite countertops. Currently the breakfast room (the back part of the kitchen) is used as an office. The dining room seats up tothirty-two people at a time, and it is a gorgeous room the Maxwell’s (and the residents who came before them) really take advantage of for entertaining. The Maxwells entertain about 1500 guests each year. Off of the dining room is the sunroom. The sunroom was previously only screened it, but when theHarmon’s lived there, they glassed it in. The glassed in sunroom is very comfortable and has always been a place where the families who have lived in the house like to gather and hangout. If you exit out of the sunroom, there is a large porch connected to house. Each May, the Maxwells host Drake students on the large porch. Another interesting room on the ground floor is the living room. The living room has French doors, which are original. The shelves on either side of the French doors, however, Maddy Maxwell designed herself. You can also find the President Maxwell’s office on the first floor. The bathroom by the front door is also a very interesting feature. The bathroom in fact used be an entrance for servants, and was remodeled into a bathroom. In the front of the house, you can still see where the door that was designated for the servants used to be.</span><br />
<br />
===<span style="font-size: 1.1em; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">'''The Second and Third Floors'''</span>=== <br />
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">If you walk up the flight of stairs that used to be the servant’s stairs, the first room you will see is the furnace room. The room used to be the servant’s kitchen, but now it holds the updated heating and cooling system. Two of the bathrooms in the house even have heated floors. Also on the second floor there are four guest bedrooms. Each of the bedrooms has a theme. There is the Indian room, the oak room, the safari room, and the Loretta Young room. The oak room and the Loretta room are both very popular with guests, because they have a large television and a connected bathroom, respectively. The safari room is connected by a bathroom to the master bedroom. The extra bathroom door was added when President Harmon lived in the house. Off of the master bedroom there is another sunroom. This room was converted from a sleeping porch to a sunroom. The sleeping porch was made into a sunroom at the same time the as the other sunroom was made (by Harmon.) The themed bedrooms are all very interesting because they have unique built in furniture. In the rooms, there are desks or shelves actually built in the wall. The rooms are also decorated with paintings by Maddy Maxwell’s father. In the hallway there is a very large linen closet, and drawings done by Maddy herself while she was in Russia. There is an additional bedroom on the third floor, and the house does have an attic, which can be accessed through the third floor bedroom. Maddy also has her studio on the 3rd floor. A very unique aspect of the third floor is the ballroom. The ballroom is very and has high ceilings, considering it is on a high floor. The third floor ballroom was used frequently for social events when the Prouty’s lived in the house.</span><br />

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">At the end of the spacious backyard is the house’s garage. The garage situation is interesting because it shared with their neighbors, the <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; cursor: pointer; padding-right: 10px;">[http://www.iowaepiscopal.org Episcopal Diocese of Iowa]</span>. The area of the garage is large enough to serve as small apartment, but currently, it is not used for that. The neighbors at the time when the Harmon’s lived there used it as an apartment however. The garage also still has a slot that used to be used as a stable for a horse.</span><br />

The points of a star can represent the five points. The five points are character, interests and talents, activities and honors, personal development, and education and scholarship. If the Delta Gamma members see these qualities in you, then you can be considered for membership. You also must be sponsored by a specific Delta Gamma who believes that you are good candidate. New members attend chapter meetings, and events, but don’t get initiated until they complete new member education. At Drake, the selection process is mostly made during formal fall rush. The recruitment process takes place over 3 days, and potential new members visit each of Drakes 5 houses. It is a process based on mutual selection.</span><br />

There are many opportunities for Delta Gamma Alumnae to stay involved. There are many alumni associations that aim to continue the friendships formed by Delta Gamma, and even uphold the motto of “Do good.” Alumni associations also provide Delta Gammas who have moved to a new area a group of friends and a support system. Alumnae mentor collegians, and have fundraisers. At Drake, the active Delta Gammas host alumni dinners and events at the house, and invite alumni from the Alpha Lambda Chapter to attend.</span><br />

Dr. Harmon was president of Drake University from 1941 to 1964. The house was in kind of bad shape at this time, according to Harmon’s daughter. Henry Harmon served the longest of any Drake President, and the largest building on campus, the Harmon fine arts center, was named after him. During the time that the Harmons lived in the house, many renovations were made. The other presidents that lived in the house were Dr. Paul Frederick Sharp, Dr. Wilbur C. Miller, Dr. Michael Ferrari, and the current president, Dr. Maxwell. Dr. Robert Ray was interim president in 1998, and did not live in the house.</span>'''</span>=== <br />

The comfy couches and big screen television create a comfortable atmosphere for young adults. A very interesting feature of the basement is the fireplace. It is from the original construction, and still has all of the original fireplace tools. Another interesting feature is a tunnel that connects the basement to the garage. Obviously this underground tunnel is not used anymore, but it used to be used for heating. The coal would be burned in the garage, and it would go through the tunnel to the basement, and the house. The house was heated in this way until 1966, when Paul Sharp was president. The laundry room is interesting because while it has new washing and drying machines, the washing sinks are still the original porcelain. The basement also has many storage areas, some of which are used to hold the house’s extensive catering supplies.</span><br />

In 1908, mansion was featured in the “Midwestern.” The magazine article raves about the perfect color schemes and the “exquisite harmony” that is present in the interior design. Though the house was featuredthan 100 years ago, it still has very much charm and beauty. Most of the furniture that is in the house right now is the Maxwell’s, but there are a few pieces that came with the house and are part of its history. The first floor contains the kitchen, the dining room, a living room, the president’s office, and a sunroom. The kitchen was renovated in 1961, and was featured in “Better Homes & Gardens”. The kitchen features an island and granite countertops. Currently the breakfast room (the back part of the kitchen) is used as an office. The dining room seats up tothirty-two people at a time, and it is a gorgeous room the Maxwell’s (and the residents who came before them) really take advantage of for entertaining. The Maxwells entertain about 1500 guests each year. Off of the dining room is the sunroom. The sunroom was previously only screened it, but when theHarmon’s lived there, they glassed it in. The glassed in sunroom is very comfortable and has always been a place where the families who have lived in the house like to gather and hangout. If you exit out of the sunroom, there is a large porch connected to house. Each May, the Maxwells host Drake students on the large porch. Another interesting room on the ground floor is the living room. The living room has French doors, which are original. The shelves on either side of the French doors, however, Maddy Maxwell designed herself. You can also find the President Maxwell’s office on the first floor. The bathroom by the front door is also a very interesting feature. The bathroom in fact used be an entrance for servants, and was remodeled into a bathroom. In the front of the house, you can still see where the door that was designated for the servants used to be.</span><br />

The room used to be the servant’s kitchen, but now it holds the updated heating and cooling system. Two of the bathrooms in the house even have heated floors. Also on the second floor there are four guest bedrooms. Each of the bedrooms has a theme. There is the Indian room, the oak room, the safari room, and the Loretta Young room. The oak room and the Loretta room are both very popular with guests, because they have a large television and a connected bathroom, respectively. The safari room is connected by a bathroom to the master bedroom. The extra bathroom door was added when President Harmon lived in the house. Off of the master bedroom there is another sunroom. This room was converted from a sleeping porch to a sunroom. The sleeping porch was made into a sunroom at the same time the as the other sunroom was made (by Harmon.) The themed bedrooms are all very interesting because they have unique built in furniture. In the rooms, there are desks or shelves actually built in the wall. The rooms are also decorated with paintings by Maddy Maxwell’s father. In the hallway there is a very large linen closet, and drawings done by Maddy herself while she was in Russia. There is an additional bedroom on the third floor, and the house does have an attic, which can be accessed through the third floor bedroom. Maddy also has her studio on the 3rd floor. A very unique aspect of the third floor is the ballroom. The ballroom is very and has high ceilings, considering it is on a high floor. The third floor ballroom was used frequently for social events when the Prouty’s lived in the house.</span><br />

The area of the garage is large enough to serve as small apartment, but currently, it is not used for that. The neighbors at the time when the Harmon’s lived there used it as an apartment however. The garage also still has a slot that used to be used as a stable for a horse.</span></div>Jemrickhttps://drakeapedia.library.drake.edu/w/index.php?title=The_President%27s_Current_Residence&diff=23220The President's Current Residence2010-12-03T03:07:45Z<p>Jemrick: Imported from Wikispaces</p>

The Maxwells entertain about 1500 guests each year. Off of the dining room is the sunroom. The sunroom was previously only screened it, but when theHarmon’s lived there, they glassed it in. The glassed in sunroom is very comfortable and has always been a place where the families who have lived in the house like to gather and hangout. If you exit out of the sunroom, there is a large porch connected to house. Each May, the Maxwells host Drake students on the large porch. Another interesting room on the ground floor is the living room. The living room has French doors, which are original. The shelves on either side of the French doors, however, Maddy Maxwell designed herself. You can also find the President Maxwell’s office on the first floor. The bathroom by the front door is also a very interesting feature. The bathroom in fact used be an entrance for servants, and was remodeled into a bathroom. In the front of the house, you can still see where the door that was designated for the servants used to be.<br />

If you walk up the flight of stairs that used to be the servant’s stairs, the first room you will see is the furnace room. The room used to be the servant’s kitchen, but now it holds the updated heating and cooling system. Two of the bathrooms in the house even have heated floors. Also on the second floor there are four guest bedrooms. Each of the bedrooms has a theme. There is the Indian room, the oak room, the safari room, and the Loretta Young room. The oak room and the Loretta room are both very popular with guests, because they have a large television and a connected bathroom, respectively. The safari room is connected by a bathroom to the master bedroom. The extra bathroom door was added when President Harmon lived in the house. Off of the master bedroom there is another sunroom. This room was converted from a sleeping porch to a sunroom. The sleeping porch was made into a sunroom at the same time the as the other sunroom was made (by Harmon.) The themed bedrooms are all very interesting because they have unique built in furniture. In the rooms, there are desks or shelves actually built in the wall. The rooms are also decorated with paintings by Maddy Maxwell’s father. In the hallway there is a very large linen closet, and drawings done by Maddy herself while she was in Russia. There is an additional bedroom on the third floor, and the house does have an attic, which can be accessed through the third floor bedroom. Maddy also has her studio on the 3rd floor. A very unique aspect of the third floor is the ballroom. The ballroom is very and has high ceilings, considering it is on a high floor. The third floor ballroom was used frequently for social events when the Prouty’s lived in the house.<br />

At the end of the spacious backyard is the house’s garage. The garage situation is interesting because it shared with their neighbors, the <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; url(http: ''www.drake.wikispaces.net/i/a.gif); background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; padding-right: 10px;">[[http:''www.iowaepiscopal.org/|Episcopal Diocese of Iowa]]</span>. The area of the garage is large enough to serve as small apartment, but currently, it is not used for that. The neighbors at the time when the Harmon’s lived there used it as an apartment however. The garage also still has a slot that used to be used as a stable for a horse.</div>Jemrickhttps://drakeapedia.library.drake.edu/w/index.php?title=The_President%27s_Current_Residence&diff=23219The President's Current Residence2010-12-03T03:06:04Z<p>Jemrick: Imported from Wikispaces</p>
