Foster Cass
No full textPhotograph of Foster Cass taken in 2015. Foster Cass (Class of 1941) was born on February 6, 1919. He graduated from Upper Iowa University (UIU) in 1941 with a degree in math and business administration and a minor in history. Foster's family lived across the street from UIU where he and his brothers and sister attended college. During college, Foster joined the Pi Rho Zeta, national honorary fraternity, sang in the choir, wrote poetry, played football under Doc Dorman, and worked on campus to pay for books and tuition. He met his wife, Maxine Marion Duff, another UIU student, in the library.
World War II began in Europe while Foster was attending UIU. He knew he wanted to earn his degree before the Army drafted him. Foster was one of ten students to graduate from the pilot's training course at UIU in June 1941. As soon as he received his degree, Foster enlisted in the Navy where he became a commissioned officer, primarily serving as watch officer and communications officer on ships, including his time as a “plank owner,” a member of the first crew of the USS Fayette. Foster also had the honor to receive the telegram and announce the end of the war to his shipmates on the Ormsby. During his time on ships at sea, he traveled about 80,000 nautical miles. Foster has continued to support Upper Iowa University. Notably, he has sponsored the Foster Cass Archives Walk which highlights the history of the campus. In addition, he established the Foster Cass Foundation Student Scholarship in honor of his parents, Rev. Frank W. Cass and Carrie Jackley Cass, and family members who are UIU alumni: Edward J. Cass '38, Marjorie Swales Cass '39 and Betty Cass Hersey '43. The Cass family was the University's neighbor for many years, and there is a plaque commemorating the location on Union Street.[Title], Upper Iowa University Digital Archives, [Reference URL].

Whangai: remembering, understanding and experiencing
No full textThe Māori customary practice of whangai is often equated with adoption or foster care.
There are, however, significant differences between the institutions. Adoption or foster care, tends to be mainly focused on the interests of the child. The institution of whangai, while being cognizant of the interests of the child, is weighted more towards establishing, nurturing and cementing relationships between individuals, families and broader relational networks. In this paper we draw on the lived experiences of six people who have been raised as whangai and/or have raised whangai. We were interested in their understanding of the cultural concept of whangai, how the customary practice of whangai has changed over time, and their projected thoughts on future generations’ experience of whangai. Findings suggest that the institution of whangai remains as a strong vehicle for both the care of children and for the nurturing of whangai kinship relationships. While participants recognised that contemporary Māori social environments have contributed toward multiple manifestations of whangai, most felt it to be an institution that will be valued and carried into the future

Charles Foster portrait
No full textCharles Foster (1828-1904) was governor of Ohio from 1880 to 1884. Foster chose to run as the Republican candidate for Ohio governor in 1879, and campaigned on the issue of sound money, which would require the government to back paper money with gold. Foster won the election and focused his administration on reforming the state government so that it was more efficient. In addition, Foster supported the temperance movement by favoring higher liquor taxes. Ultimately, his support of this tax, known as the Pond Law, contributed to his defeat in the election of 1883. He later went on to serve as Secretary of the Treasury under President Benjamin Harrison from 1891 through 1893
Foster Cass : fond memories [videorecording]
No full textFoster Cass talks about fond memories he has of the time he spent at Upper Iowa University. Foster remembers a choir trip he took in 1939 when he drove himself and 5 others in his father's old car at the request of the choir director, Russell Harris. Foster remembers how he and his friends would entertain each other while driving ahead of the bus. Foster notes, however, that his story of driving on a choir trip was rather rare, as usually UIU students had to hitchhike to get anywhere outside of Fayette. Foster also talks about how far the University has come in the expansion of its facilities, or what was termed “needs” during the 1930s.Russell Gingrich Harris was the choir director in 1939Parker Fox Hall, Upper Iowa University-Fayette Campus[Title], Upper Iowa University Digital Archives, [Reference URL].
