Section 3, Visit to the Rocky Mountains, 1867-1868. the war over powell returned to his home in illinois and was nominated clerk of dupage county illinois at a good salary but at the same time he was offered an appointment more to his liking though at a lower salary as professor of geology in illinois wesleyan college at bloomington this he accepted A later appointment was that of lecturer and curator at the museum at the Illinois Normal University at Normal near Bloomington.

The young professor took his classes into the field, had an active part in public discussions in favor of introducing more science in college programs, and influenced the state legislature to advance science teaching in the Normal University.

in the summer of 1867, Powell, at the age of 33, struck out on a new path that led to all his later work.

Do you come together at camps? Is that a time where the – because here's why I'm asking this.

That Illinois Wesleyan camp, you know – The

Titans.

What's that?

And then a transfer that I'm just, you know, plainly in on, uh, just blindly choosing to believe here, whether it's a backup or a combo starter with Walker.

Noah Cleveland from D3 Illinois Wesleyan.

Uh, Illinois Wesleyan, a very good D3 school, I believe top 20 most years.

Cleveland, 19 and 11, uh, to go with two blocks and two steals averaged per game.

So culture was always at the forefront of a liberal arts education.

But now you've got colleges like the one I talk about in the book, Illinois Wesleyan University, calling themselves liberal arts universities with no liberal arts in them anymore.

I mean, really, the Department of Philosophy and Sociology and Anthropology and other soft sciences, but also literature, all of those have been removed and all the professors fired.

They had tenured professors fired.

They finished third at 17 under.

Now, this won't hurt Illinois Wesleyan long-term, but it is a good barometer in the Mary Harden, Baylor, and Trinity now have a win over them, and that may be big.

down the road in sort of the quality wins kind of look at who you kind of have a leg up on.

Now, Illinois isn't going to get their conference championship.

Um, also really nice performance in fourth place is Shenandoah who was eight under as well.

So, um, Great golf being played.

Illinois Wesleyan, by the way, struggled for the first two rounds and shot 18 under the last round to jump all the way into third.

Now, several people were well behind, but 18 under to finish the round is pretty, to finish till the last day is pretty impressive.

I mean, the True Crime Podcast is, at one level of analysis, a survival training tool that the nervous system takes seriously, even when the conscious mind is just enjoying a well-produced documentary.

Now, Amanda Vickery at Illinois Wesleyan documented that women are more drawn to true crime content featuring methods of victim resistance and escape.

So specifically the cases where the victim, you know, had a chance basically and took it or didn't and might have.

The nervous system is extracting operational intelligence here, right? Now, mechanism two is, it's benign masochism, really.

After one week, we can already say it's unlikely the WIAC repeats last season's three at-large bids, averaging around one and a half at-large bids in my sims, still the most in the country.

The CCIW is the only other conference averaging over one bid across my simulations, thanks to not only Wheaton and North Central's top five wins, but also to Illinois Wesleyan and Augustana's decisive wins over quality teams.

Seven other conferences have a greater than 50% chance of getting an at-large bid.

The Empire 8, the MIAC, the NCAC, the Centennial, the American Southwest, the SAA, and the Midwest Conference.

in the summer of eighteen sixty seven powell at the age of thirty-three struck out on a new path that led to all his later work aided by the Illinois Society of Natural History, with which he was still connected.

Like I go to NABC occasionally when the final four, but in my young career, I don't go to enough.

So I know like IBCA hosts some at Illinois Wesleyan and other places around the area.

So I'm going to go around.

But if you can go to one where it's an overnight camp somehow and they have clinics for you in terms of you're on the court and then coaching and then in the classroom and then on the court and then the class, which is the same layout as Jay Billis.

Our guest in part one is a Chicago-born actor, singer, dancer, director, and choreographer who is also a licensed social worker.

After graduating from Illinois Wesleyan University, he was cast in the Chicago company of Hal Prince's Show Boat.

Upon that show's closing, he piggybacked on that success and moved to New York, where soon thereafter, he made his Broadway debut in Disney's Beauty and the Beast.

Eventually making his way back here to Chicago, he spent many years on the stages here, including in such shows as White Christmas, My One and Only, Swing, and A Chorus Line.

I started doing their summer musical when I was, it was in between like eighth grade and high school.

So I did that every summer, actually did my first professional like equity show, even though I wasn't equity at the time, my sophomore year in high school.

So then I, I went to Illinois Wesleyan university, got my BFA in music theater there, which is where I took my very first dance class.

And, But yeah, had a good experience there over those four years before I then moved up to Chicago to kind of kick things off.
