                  <text>David Virgil Felts, a Decatur, Illinois, journalist, was born on January 31, 1900, in Marion, Illinois. Following high school graduation, Felts entered the University of Illinois at Champaign. In college Felts became the &amp;ldquo;Campus Scout,&amp;rdquo; the author of a humorous column about college happenings. This position at the university was also held by Gene Shalit, Allen Sherman, and others who later pursed careers in broadcasting and journalism. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After receiving an A.B. from the University of Illinois in 1923, Felts became a reporter for the Louisville (Kentucky) Courier Journal. From 1923 until 1926, he worked as a sports editor for the Illinois State Register in Springfield, Illinois, and then served briefly as a United Press reporter. Following a year of post-graduate study at Harvard University, Felts returned to Springfield in 1928 and became an editorial writer and columnist. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In December 1935, Felts joined the Lindsay-Schaub chain of newspapers as an editorial writer and moved to Decatur, Illinois. He became editorial page editor for the Decatur Herald and Review in 1958 and two years later, he was editorial page editor for the entire Lindsay-Schaub chain. Felts also wrote his own column, called &amp;ldquo;Second Thoughts.&amp;rdquo; The column contained folksy reminiscences about past events and observations on current affairs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Felts officially retired in 1967, but he continued to write his column three times a week for the Lindsay-Schaub newspapers. The column ran until Felts&amp;rsquo; real retirement at the age of seventy-five. In 1975, Felts moved to Ft. Pierce, Florida, with his wife. Felts died in March of 1985. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Felts, who was interested in local and state history, was a long time member of the Illinois State Historical Society. He served as Society director from 1980 to 1983 and was elected vice-president in 1983. In July 1958, Felts was appointed by Governor William G. Stratton to the Illinois Lincoln Sesquicentennial Commission. Felts was also active in the Friends of the Decatur Public Library, serving as a trustee for the Library from 1951 to 1960 and as president of the board of directors from 1953 until 1955.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The finding aid for the David V. Felts Papers, 1908-1978 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at:&amp;nbsp;http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/215.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photographs in this collection include several images of David Felts at his desk and with newspaper colleagues, group photos of Decatur civic organizations Felts was a member of, and aerial photographs of Springfield, Illinois.</text>

                  <text>David Virgil Felts, a Decatur, Illinois, journalist, was born on January 31, 1900, in Marion, Illinois. Following high school graduation, Felts entered the University of Illinois at Champaign. In college Felts became the &amp;ldquo;Campus Scout,&amp;rdquo; the author of a humorous column about college happenings. This position at the university was also held by Gene Shalit, Allen Sherman, and others who later pursed careers in broadcasting and journalism. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After receiving an A.B. from the University of Illinois in 1923, Felts became a reporter for the Louisville (Kentucky) Courier Journal. From 1923 until 1926, he worked as a sports editor for the Illinois State Register in Springfield, Illinois, and then served briefly as a United Press reporter. Following a year of post-graduate study at Harvard University, Felts returned to Springfield in 1928 and became an editorial writer and columnist. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In December 1935, Felts joined the Lindsay-Schaub chain of newspapers as an editorial writer and moved to Decatur, Illinois. He became editorial page editor for the Decatur Herald and Review in 1958 and two years later, he was editorial page editor for the entire Lindsay-Schaub chain. Felts also wrote his own column, called &amp;ldquo;Second Thoughts.&amp;rdquo; The column contained folksy reminiscences about past events and observations on current affairs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Felts officially retired in 1967, but he continued to write his column three times a week for the Lindsay-Schaub newspapers. The column ran until Felts&amp;rsquo; real retirement at the age of seventy-five. In 1975, Felts moved to Ft. Pierce, Florida, with his wife. Felts died in March of 1985. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Felts, who was interested in local and state history, was a long time member of the Illinois State Historical Society. He served as Society director from 1980 to 1983 and was elected vice-president in 1983. In July 1958, Felts was appointed by Governor William G. Stratton to the Illinois Lincoln Sesquicentennial Commission. Felts was also active in the Friends of the Decatur Public Library, serving as a trustee for the Library from 1951 to 1960 and as president of the board of directors from 1953 until 1955.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The finding aid for the David V. Felts Papers, 1908-1978 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at:&amp;nbsp;http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/215.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photographs in this collection include several images of David Felts at his desk and with newspaper colleagues, group photos of Decatur civic organizations Felts was a member of, and aerial photographs of Springfield, Illinois.</text>

Following high school graduation, Felts entered the University of Illinois at Champaign. In college Felts became the &amp;ldquo;Campus Scout,&amp;rdquo; the author of a humorous column about college happenings. This position at the university was also held by Gene Shalit, Allen Sherman, and others who later pursed careers in broadcasting and journalism. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After receiving an A.B. from the University of Illinois in 1923, Felts became a reporter for the Louisville (Kentucky) Courier Journal. From 1923 until 1926, he worked as a sports editor for the Illinois State Register in Springfield, Illinois, and then served briefly as a United Press reporter. Following a year of post-graduate study at Harvard University, Felts returned to Springfield in 1928 and became an editorial writer and columnist. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In December 1935, Felts joined the Lindsay-Schaub chain of newspapers as an editorial writer and moved to Decatur, Illinois. He became editorial page editor for the Decatur Herald and Review in 1958 and two years later, he was editorial page editor for the entire Lindsay-Schaub chain. Felts also wrote his own column, called &amp;ldquo;Second Thoughts.&amp;rdquo; The column contained folksy reminiscences about past events and observations on current affairs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Felts officially retired in 1967, but he continued to write his column three times a week for the Lindsay-Schaub newspapers. The column ran until Felts&amp;rsquo; real retirement at the age of seventy-five. In 1975, Felts moved to Ft. Pierce, Florida, with his wife. Felts died in March of 1985. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Felts, who was interested in local and state history, was a long time member of the Illinois State Historical Society. He served as Society director from 1980 to 1983 and was elected vice-president in 1983. In July 1958, Felts was appointed by Governor William G. Stratton to the Illinois Lincoln Sesquicentennial Commission. Felts was also active in the Friends of the Decatur Public Library, serving as a trustee for the Library from 1951 to 1960 and as president of the board of directors from 1953 until 1955.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The finding aid for the David V. Felts Papers, 1908-1978 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at:&amp;nbsp;http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/215.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photographs in this collection include several images of David Felts at his desk and with newspaper colleagues, group photos of Decatur civic organizations Felts was a member of, and aerial photographs of Springfield, Illinois.</text>

Following high school graduation, Felts entered the University of Illinois at Champaign. In college Felts became the &amp;ldquo;Campus Scout,&amp;rdquo; the author of a humorous column about college happenings. This position at the university was also held by Gene Shalit, Allen Sherman, and others who later pursed careers in broadcasting and journalism. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After receiving an A.B. from the University of Illinois in 1923, Felts became a reporter for the Louisville (Kentucky) Courier Journal. From 1923 until 1926, he worked as a sports editor for the Illinois State Register in Springfield, Illinois, and then served briefly as a United Press reporter. Following a year of post-graduate study at Harvard University, Felts returned to Springfield in 1928 and became an editorial writer and columnist. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In December 1935, Felts joined the Lindsay-Schaub chain of newspapers as an editorial writer and moved to Decatur, Illinois. He became editorial page editor for the Decatur Herald and Review in 1958 and two years later, he was editorial page editor for the entire Lindsay-Schaub chain. Felts also wrote his own column, called &amp;ldquo;Second Thoughts.&amp;rdquo; The column contained folksy reminiscences about past events and observations on current affairs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Felts officially retired in 1967, but he continued to write his column three times a week for the Lindsay-Schaub newspapers. The column ran until Felts&amp;rsquo; real retirement at the age of seventy-five. In 1975, Felts moved to Ft. Pierce, Florida, with his wife. Felts died in March of 1985. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Felts, who was interested in local and state history, was a long time member of the Illinois State Historical Society.

Stratton to the Illinois Lincoln Sesquicentennial Commission. Felts was also active in the Friends of the Decatur Public Library, serving as a trustee for the Library from 1951 to 1960 and as president of the board of directors from 1953 until 1955.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The finding aid for the David V.

                  <text>David Virgil Felts, a Decatur, Illinois, journalist, was born on January 31, 1900, in Marion, Illinois. Following high school graduation, Felts entered the University of Illinois at Champaign. In college Felts became the &amp;ldquo;Campus Scout,&amp;rdquo; the author of a humorous column about college happenings. This position at the university was also held by Gene Shalit, Allen Sherman, and others who later pursed careers in broadcasting and journalism. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After receiving an A.B. from the University of Illinois in 1923, Felts became a reporter for the Louisville (Kentucky) Courier Journal. From 1923 until 1926, he worked as a sports editor for the Illinois State Register in Springfield, Illinois, and then served briefly as a United Press reporter. Following a year of post-graduate study at Harvard University, Felts returned to Springfield in 1928 and became an editorial writer and columnist. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In December 1935, Felts joined the Lindsay-Schaub chain of newspapers as an editorial writer and moved to Decatur, Illinois. He became editorial page editor for the Decatur Herald and Review in 1958 and two years later, he was editorial page editor for the entire Lindsay-Schaub chain. Felts also wrote his own column, called &amp;ldquo;Second Thoughts.&amp;rdquo; The column contained folksy reminiscences about past events and observations on current affairs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Felts officially retired in 1967, but he continued to write his column three times a week for the Lindsay-Schaub newspapers. The column ran until Felts&amp;rsquo; real retirement at the age of seventy-five. In 1975, Felts moved to Ft. Pierce, Florida, with his wife. Felts died in March of 1985. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Felts, who was interested in local and state history, was a long time member of the Illinois State Historical Society. He served as Society director from 1980 to 1983 and was elected vice-president in 1983. In July 1958, Felts was appointed by Governor William G. Stratton to the Illinois Lincoln Sesquicentennial Commission. Felts was also active in the Friends of the Decatur Public Library, serving as a trustee for the Library from 1951 to 1960 and as president of the board of directors from 1953 until 1955.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The finding aid for the David V. Felts Papers, 1908-1978 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at:&amp;nbsp;http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/215.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photographs in this collection include several images of David Felts at his desk and with newspaper colleagues, group photos of Decatur civic organizations Felts was a member of, and aerial photographs of Springfield, Illinois.</text>

                  <text>David Virgil Felts, a Decatur, Illinois, journalist, was born on January 31, 1900, in Marion, Illinois. Following high school graduation, Felts entered the University of Illinois at Champaign. In college Felts became the &amp;ldquo;Campus Scout,&amp;rdquo; the author of a humorous column about college happenings. This position at the university was also held by Gene Shalit, Allen Sherman, and others who later pursed careers in broadcasting and journalism. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After receiving an A.B. from the University of Illinois in 1923, Felts became a reporter for the Louisville (Kentucky) Courier Journal. From 1923 until 1926, he worked as a sports editor for the Illinois State Register in Springfield, Illinois, and then served briefly as a United Press reporter. Following a year of post-graduate study at Harvard University, Felts returned to Springfield in 1928 and became an editorial writer and columnist. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In December 1935, Felts joined the Lindsay-Schaub chain of newspapers as an editorial writer and moved to Decatur, Illinois. He became editorial page editor for the Decatur Herald and Review in 1958 and two years later, he was editorial page editor for the entire Lindsay-Schaub chain. Felts also wrote his own column, called &amp;ldquo;Second Thoughts.&amp;rdquo; The column contained folksy reminiscences about past events and observations on current affairs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Felts officially retired in 1967, but he continued to write his column three times a week for the Lindsay-Schaub newspapers. The column ran until Felts&amp;rsquo; real retirement at the age of seventy-five. In 1975, Felts moved to Ft. Pierce, Florida, with his wife. Felts died in March of 1985. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Felts, who was interested in local and state history, was a long time member of the Illinois State Historical Society. He served as Society director from 1980 to 1983 and was elected vice-president in 1983. In July 1958, Felts was appointed by Governor William G. Stratton to the Illinois Lincoln Sesquicentennial Commission. Felts was also active in the Friends of the Decatur Public Library, serving as a trustee for the Library from 1951 to 1960 and as president of the board of directors from 1953 until 1955.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The finding aid for the David V. Felts Papers, 1908-1978 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at:&amp;nbsp;http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/215.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photographs in this collection include several images of David Felts at his desk and with newspaper colleagues, group photos of Decatur civic organizations Felts was a member of, and aerial photographs of Springfield, Illinois.</text>

                  <text>David Virgil Felts, a Decatur, Illinois, journalist, was born on January 31, 1900, in Marion, Illinois. Following high school graduation, Felts entered the University of Illinois at Champaign. In college Felts became the &amp;ldquo;Campus Scout,&amp;rdquo; the author of a humorous column about college happenings. This position at the university was also held by Gene Shalit, Allen Sherman, and others who later pursed careers in broadcasting and journalism. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After receiving an A.B. from the University of Illinois in 1923, Felts became a reporter for the Louisville (Kentucky) Courier Journal. From 1923 until 1926, he worked as a sports editor for the Illinois State Register in Springfield, Illinois, and then served briefly as a United Press reporter. Following a year of post-graduate study at Harvard University, Felts returned to Springfield in 1928 and became an editorial writer and columnist. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In December 1935, Felts joined the Lindsay-Schaub chain of newspapers as an editorial writer and moved to Decatur, Illinois. He became editorial page editor for the Decatur Herald and Review in 1958 and two years later, he was editorial page editor for the entire Lindsay-Schaub chain. Felts also wrote his own column, called &amp;ldquo;Second Thoughts.&amp;rdquo; The column contained folksy reminiscences about past events and observations on current affairs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Felts officially retired in 1967, but he continued to write his column three times a week for the Lindsay-Schaub newspapers. The column ran until Felts&amp;rsquo; real retirement at the age of seventy-five. In 1975, Felts moved to Ft. Pierce, Florida, with his wife. Felts died in March of 1985. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Felts, who was interested in local and state history, was a long time member of the Illinois State Historical Society. He served as Society director from 1980 to 1983 and was elected vice-president in 1983. In July 1958, Felts was appointed by Governor William G. Stratton to the Illinois Lincoln Sesquicentennial Commission. Felts was also active in the Friends of the Decatur Public Library, serving as a trustee for the Library from 1951 to 1960 and as president of the board of directors from 1953 until 1955.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The finding aid for the David V. Felts Papers, 1908-1978 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at:&amp;nbsp;http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/215.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photographs in this collection include several images of David Felts at his desk and with newspaper colleagues, group photos of Decatur civic organizations Felts was a member of, and aerial photographs of Springfield, Illinois.</text>

Felts also wrote his own column, called &amp;ldquo;Second Thoughts.&amp;rdquo; The column contained folksy reminiscences about past events and observations on current affairs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Felts officially retired in 1967, but he continued to write his column three times a week for the Lindsay-Schaub newspapers. The column ran until Felts&amp;rsquo; real retirement at the age of seventy-five. In 1975, Felts moved to Ft. Pierce, Florida, with his wife. Felts died in March of 1985. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Felts, who was interested in local and state history, was a long time member of the Illinois State Historical Society. He served as Society director from 1980 to 1983 and was elected vice-president in 1983. In July 1958, Felts was appointed by Governor William G. Stratton to the Illinois Lincoln Sesquicentennial Commission. Felts was also active in the Friends of the Decatur Public Library, serving as a trustee for the Library from 1951 to 1960 and as president of the board of directors from 1953 until 1955.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The finding aid for the David V. Felts Papers, 1908-1978 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at:&amp;nbsp;http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/215.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photographs in this collection include several images of David Felts at his desk and with newspaper colleagues, group photos of Decatur civic organizations Felts was a member of, and aerial photographs of Springfield, Illinois.</text>

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I presume you have entirely forgotten me, But you will perhaps remember my being in Springfield about the time you organized the Reg. for State service. I called upon you for an appointment in that Reg., bearing recomendations from John Durham &amp;amp; Hon. E. C. Ingersoll. My object in writing to you at the present is this, The People are very anxious to Raise a Reg. in our City.  We are situated in the Center of the State, And have every thing requisite,so that it will cost the state nothing, Except transportation. Our Barracks are quite sufficient and in good condition.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[Hundred?] of Men will enlist in a Regiment Quartered at Peoria that would not go in isolated squads to Springfield or Quincy. We ask it as a special favor, that you 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;use your influence with the Governor, in our behalf. We will hold a meeting tomorrow evening, to solicit the Governor for permission to form a Reg. here. We can facilitate the organization of the Regiments very much by organizing one of them here, men very much prefer home companies.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have your promise since last fall to assist me at the first opportunity offering. We can see no objection to this arrangement, have the kindness to give it a favorable consideration, And oblidge a host of Friends

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The first classes at the McCormick Theological Seminary took place in a log cabin in Indiana in 1829. During the Civil War the school relocated to Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. In 1859 Chicago entrepreneur and Presbyterian layman Cyrus H. McCormick and his wife, Nettie Fowler McCormick, became the seminary's major financial patrons. The relationship between the McCormick family and the school remained well into the twentieth century.&amp;nbsp;Shortly after McCormick&amp;rsquo;s death in 1884, the school was renamed McCormick Theological Seminary. Several campus buildings are named for McCormick family members including McCormick Hall, Fowler Hall, and Virginia Library. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination in 1968, seminary faculty and students were active in the civil rights movement and provided assistance to displaced and injured participants. The seminary relocated to Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood in 1975.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The photographs in this collection include portraits of the McCormick Theological Seminary Class of 1896, school professors, and campus buildings.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
