State of Wisconsin Executive Office Madison Nov 6. 1861 His Excellency Richard Yates, Governor of the State of Illinois. Sir: As an individual State and as a part of the Great West, Wisconsin is anxious, not only to do her full duty in the present struggle for free government but at the same time to do everything in her power for the advancement of her own and the nation's industrial interests. With this view, I appointed in September last, a Commissioner to represent this state at the Great Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations, to be held at London in the year 1862, not doubting that State Commissioners would be recognized by the Royal Commissioners, as in 1851. Finding that this will not be the case, however, and moreover, having discovered by the appointments already made of U.S. Commissioners to make preparations for said exhibition, that the authorities at Washington who have the whole matter in charge are not disposed to recognize the claims of the Northwest to a share either in the making of those arrangements or in the representation at London, I have thought it well that the several states constituting the Northwest should unite in the appoint <hr /> ment of a single Commissioner with authority to take such measures as he may deem best to insure a creditable exhibition from this division of our country to represent the states so appointing him, at the London Exhibition, and to make such a report thereof as may best calculated to advance the special industrial interests of those states. If such action were taken by the Northwestern States, there can be no doubt that it would result in a far more worthy exhibition than they will otherwise make, and in the official recognition and authorization of such Commissioner by the President, in which case the expenses of the proposed Joint Commission would undoubtedly be provided for in the appropriation for which the President intends to ask at the next session of Congress. But if the expenses should not be so provided for, the amount, which need not exceed the sum of two thousand dollars altogether, would be but a trifle for the five or six states represented. Should the foregoing views meet with your approval, I would ask the favor of nominating as said Joint Commissioner, the appointee of this State, Dr. John W. Hoyt, Sec'y of the Wis. State Agricultural Society, Vice Prest of the U.S. Agricultural Society, &c. In addition to possessing the <hr /> highest qualifications for the important duties of the commission, he has, by the official action of your own State Agricultural Society and of the Societies of four other Northwestern States, been made a candidate for the appointment by the President, of Commissioner for the U.S., and is strongly indorsed by numerous officers of Eastern Boards of Agriculture. He has likewise a thorough familiarity with what is necessary to be done in the premises, and if duly authorized will earnestly and at once devote himself to the work of securing to the West an honorable position at the great industrial gathering of the Nations at London. In conclusion, I may be allowed to suggest that, inasmuch as all articles intended for the Exhibition must be reported to the Royal Commissioners as early as January 1st and ready for shipment from New York by the 28th of February, it is important that whatever is done by the West should be done with the least possible delay.

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. Shortly after McCormick’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. 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. The photographs in this collection include portraits of the McCormick Theological Seminary Class of 1896, school professors, and campus buildings. Still Image A static visual representation.

Has paid attention to Book Keeping and is prepared to fulfil any function of a clerk, paymaster, or commissariat and is desirous of obtaining some such position. He is pure in morals, of strict integrity, and prompt in every <hr /> required duty. I am myself Pastor of the 1st Presbyterian Church in this place, and sympathise deeply with the cause of my country. My son seeks to serve his country and asks the opportunity of doing so in any position which he can fill. Will you be kind enough to consider his case in the numerous appointments of your department. He* voted for Mr. Lincoln and sustains his measures throughout. As private secretary or confidential agent he would render valuable service. Is the office of Paymaster in the Regiment about to encamp here yet filled? Or have you any other in which you could give him position? Please inform me what references will be needed, or what steps necessary in order obtain an appointment. Pardon my intrusion. God help our country, give us good deliverance from every enemy, and enable the government to vindicate it own existence its majesty & power.
