There is a rich, but largely unknown history of African Americans who parlayed their Iowa State University education into successful and impactful careers at historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). ''HBCU Connections at Iowa State University'' begins the work of excavating and illuminating these stories, profiling African American alumni of Iowa State University who have served as faculty, staff, and administrators at HBCUs.

One goal of this project is to begin to bridge the gap between the Special Collections & University Archives department at Iowa State University and the Special Collections departments at the HBCUs represented in these profiles. Another goal of this project is to add representation of black students into our archive. They were here. They made a difference. They made history.

This is a living and breathing project. The expectation is that as more researchers uncover more information that fit the parameters, more people or more information can be added (with sources). The parameters are <i>anyone who received a degree at Iowa State University between 1900-1950 and went on to a high-ranking and/or high-impact position at a historically black college or university (HBCU). </i> To add more information, email: archives@iastate.edu.

''A note on language: This project uses the names of colleges and universities contemporaneous with the individuals profiled. These names may contain language that is considered offensive today.''

Nathaniel O. Calloway

Sdestine:

'''Dr. Nathaniel Oglesby Calloway''' (October 10, 1907-1979) was the first African American person to earn a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Iowa State College.

==Life and Education==
[[File:Nathaniel O Calloway.jpg|300px|right|Nathaniel O Calloway]]
Nathaniel O. Calloway's father was a formerly enslaved person. Growing up, Calloway spent time with [[George Washington Carver]]. He earned a B.S. in Chemistry in 1930 and then, three years later, earned a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Iowa State College.

As a graduate student at Iowa State College, Calloway studied synthetic organic chemistry which is a branch of chemistry that focuses on compounds that contain the element carbon. Calloway's PhD adviser was Henry Gilman -- a well-known organic chemistry professor that actively recruited African American chemistry majors from historically black colleges and universities to pursue doctorate degrees at Iowa State. After completing his PhD, Calloway accepted a faculty position in the Department of Chemistry at Fisk University where he successfully researched and published. Calloway entered medical school in 1940 at the University of Illinois in Chicago while simultaneously teaching pharmacology at the University of Chicago. In March 1946, The Chicago Defender reported that "Dr. Calloway completed his medical training at the University of Illinois after he was forced to withdraw from the University of Chicago Medical School because he was a Negro." He completed his internship and residency at the University of Illinois.

Dr. Calloway served as a lieutenant in the United States Army Medical Corps during World War II. He also served as an Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois Medical School as well as practiced as a physician. In 1946, he reportedly published approximately 17 papers and had four more in process. His research was in chemistry, pharmacology and internal medicine. In 1947, Calloway rose from assistant to senior professor at University of Illinois Medical School. In 1950, he became the Assistant Chief of Medicine at Percy Jones Army Hospital and was promoted to major.

In the late 1950s, he taught at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Later, the Wisconsin State Medical Examining Board brought charges against him related to a prescription drug scandal involving his medical practice in Madison. In 1958, Dr. Calloway opened a group medical practice in Chicago. He became Chief of the Medical Staff at the Tomah Wisconsin Veterans Administration Hospital in 1963. He then opened a private practice in Madison in 1966. He continued his practice until his death in 1979.

==Legacy==

Nathaniel Calloway is credited with helping to establish the Medical Associates Clinic in Chicago. He organized the Chicago chapter of the Urban League. He received heavy criticism for trying to prevent civil rights activism in the Urban League which caused upheaval and dissension within the group.

[[File:PresAtwood.jpg|250px|left|Rufus Ballard Atwood]]
Rufus Atwood was born on March 15, 1897 in Hickman, KY. He enlisted in the army on February 3, 1918. He attended the newly established training camp for black officers in Des Moines, Iowa. On November 10, 1918, the building that housed the switchboard of the 325th Field Signal Battalion (where he served as a member of the B company) was struck by enemy shellfire and the battalion’s lines of communication were severed. Under heavy shell fire, Atwood helped to reconstruct the switchboard and connect new lines. When two additional explosions destroyed the lines that he just fixed, Atwood was left alone to single-handedly repair them again as well as establish a new switchboard. He received a citation and was awarded a Bronze Star for his heroics.

He received a B.S. in Biological Science in 1920 from Fisk University. He married Mabel Campbell on June 28, 1921. In 1923, he graduated from Iowa State College with a B.S. in Agricultural Education. His later education includes a Master's degree from University of Chicago, and LL.D. from Lane College and a D.Ed. from Monrovia College in Western Africa.

In the summer of 1923, Atwood accepted a position at Kansas Vocational College as a professor of agriculture. After the summer session, he left Kansas Vocational College to become the director of the agricultural department at Prairie View State Normal & Industrial College with a salary of $2,400. In the spring 1929, Rufus and Mabel accepted teaching positions at Virginia State College. Mabel went ahead to start her position while Rufus finished out the school year. During this transitional period, a representative from Kentucky State Industrial College for Colored Persons approached him to ask if he was interested in being president of their institution. Rufus Atwood assumed the presidency on July 1, 1929.

Rufus B. Atwood died on March 18, 1983 in Frankfurt, Kentucky.

==Presidency at Kentucky State==

Rufus Atwood served Kentucky State for 33 years. He is the 9th longest serving president in Kentucky State history. His presidency was controversial because he was not as openly supportive of racial progress as the community wanted him to be.

Atwood was the first black person to receive the University of Kentucky’s Sullivan Medallion for devoting a lifetime to educating young people and for his work in advancing interracial relations. He led the battle for desegregated education in Kentucky beginning in the 1940s by improving educational opportunities for African-Americans and bringing full accreditation to Kentucky State College as president.

There is a rich, but largely unknown history of African Americans who parlayed their Iowa State University education into successful and impactful careers at historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). ''HBCU Connections at Iowa State University'' begins the work of excavating and illuminating these stories, profiling African American alumni of Iowa State University who have served as faculty, staff, and administrators at HBCUs.

One goal of this project is to begin to bridge the gap between the Special Collections & University Archives department at Iowa State University and the Special Collections departments at the HBCUs represented in these profiles. Another goal of this project is to add representation of black students into our archive. They were here. They made a difference. They made history.

This is a living and breathing project. The expectation is that as more researchers uncover more information that fit the parameters, more people or more information can be added (with sources). The parameters are <i>anyone who received a degree at Iowa State University between 1900-1950 and went on to a high-ranking and/or high-impact position at a historically black college or university (HBCU). </i> To add more information, email: archives@iastate.edu.

''A note on language: This project uses the names of colleges and universities contemporaneous with the individuals profiled. These names may contain language that is considered offensive today.''

'''Dr. Marion Antoinette Richards Myles''' (1917-1969) was a professor at Tennessee State University, Fort Valley State University and Alcorn State University. She was also the first African American faculty member at the University of Mississippi Medical School.

== Life and Education ==
[[File:MarionMyles.png|250px|left|Dr. Marion Myles]]
Marion was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1917. Her father, Alfred Richards was a rigger on the city wharves from Bermuda and her mother, Helen Richards was a native of Pennsylvania.

Following high school, Myles graduated from University of Pennsylvania in 1937. She then completed a master's degree at Atlanta University in 1939. In 1943, she began her doctoral studies at Iowa State College, receiving a research fellowship to support her scholarship in the area of plant physiology. In 1945, she received her Ph.D. in Botany. Her dissertation was titled, "Relations of hormones to correlation in maize".

At some point, she married her husband, Frank J. Myles.

In 1950, while serving as an Associate Professor of Agronomy at Tennessee State University, she completed a special course on radioisotopes at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. She planned to apply the techniques learned there to the studies of plant nutrition and photosynthesis. In 1952, she won a Carnegie Foundation Research Grant. Between 1959 and 1961, she was appointed as a Research Associate in Enzymology at Vanderbilt University in Nashville.

In 1965, Myles gained international attention when she was appointed to the position of Assistant Professor of Pharmacology -- making her the first African American faculty member at the University of Mississippi Medical School. Her appointment came over strong objections of members of the board of trustees of the State Institutions of Higher Learning who opposed the hiring of any black faculty. However, the school risked losing funding as a result of their discriminatory behavior which violated the provisions of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Because of that, she was hired.

Myles passed away on October 18, 1969.

== HBCU Contributions ==

From 1941 to 1943, Myles lived in Little Rock, Arkansas, teaching biology at Philander Smith College.

For the two decades following the completion of her Ph.D., Myles taught biology, botany, agronomy, and zoology at several institutions including Tennessee State University, Fort Valley State University, and Alcorn State University.

Walter G. Madison, Sr.

'''Walter G. Madison, Sr.''' (d. 1964) was the third African American student to graduate from Iowa State College. His son, Walter G. Madison, Jr. is possibly the first African American boy to be born in Ames, Iowa.

== Life and Education ==
Walter G. Madison, Sr. attended Tuskegee Institute for his undergraduate degree. He attended Iowa State College for his graduate degree in Engineering. He is noted as the third Black person to graduate from Iowa State College.

According to the Ames Intelligencer, “Madison was a public-spirited young man. In 1915, he wrote a letter to the editor of the Ames Weekly Tribune. A traveling troupe had just put on a tent show presentation of ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ in Ames. Grateful for writers such as Harriet Beecher Stowe, Madison explained at length that it was now <i>‘not the message of the Uncle Tom’s Cabin of fifty years ago, but…we need respect, pure and simple respect – not an abstract, something unearned, but due recognition for our status in the things that measure men'</i>."

Madison had a successful plumbing business in Ames, Iowa. He is credited with constructing some of the city's sewer system during the Ames paving project of 1916-1917 and with writing a part of the first Iowa Plumbing Code. His plumbing business was first located in the Masonic Building and later in the Olsan Building on the southwest corner of Main and Burnett.

Madison's life in Ames was less than idealic. According to the Ames Intelligencer, "[I]n 1922, Madison took a client into an Ames restaurant on Main Street for their noon meal. The proprietor told them that they had to leave because he did not serve black people. Madison brought suit against the restaurant and was represented in the Story County District Court by the law firm Lee and Garfield. He won the verdict. The award was only $100.00 but the win was considered important."

In 1930, Madison moved to Nashville where he ran a successful plumbing contract business. Later he moved to Washington DC where he became a professor of Engineering at Howard University.

Madison's son, Walter G. Madison, Jr was possibly the first African American boy born in Ames, Iowa. He was born in 1918. Madison, Jr also received an engineering degree from Iowa State College and partnered in the plumbing business with his father.

There is a rich, but largely unknown history of African Americans who parlayed their Iowa State University education into successful and impactful careers at historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). ''HBCU Connections at Iowa State University'' begins the work of excavating and illuminating these stories, profiling African American alumni of Iowa State University who have served as faculty, staff, and administrators at HBCUs.

One goal of this project is to begin to bridge the gap between the Special Collections & University Archives department at Iowa State University and the Special Collections departments at the HBCUs represented in these profiles. Another goal of this project is to add representation of black students into our archive. They were here. They made a difference. They made history.

This is a living and breathing project. The expectation is that as more researchers uncover more information that fit the parameters, more people or more information can be added (with sources). The parameters are <i>anyone who received a degree at Iowa State University between 1900-1950 and went on to a high-ranking and/or high-impact position at a historically black college or university (HBCU). </i> To add more information, email: archives@iastate.edu.

'''Dr. Frederick Douglass Patterson''' (October 10, 1901–April 26, 1988) was the President of Tuskegee Institute and the founder of the United Negro College Fund.

== Life and Education ==
[[File:Fred D Patterson.jpg|300px|left|Frederick Douglass Patterson]]
Dr. Frederick Douglass Patterson was born in Washington D.C. on October 10, 1901. His parents were Mamie Lucille and William Ross Patterson. They named him after Frederick Douglass, the abolitionist. Both parents died when Patterson was 2 years old of tuberculosis. He was raised by his older sister, Bessie.

Due to young Frederick being so gifted, Bessie used half of her monthly salary to send him to Samuel Huston College. Patterson went on to study agriculture at Prairie View Normal & Industrial Institute in Texas. He attended Iowa State College where he graduated in 1923 with a D.V.M. In his book, <b>Chronicles of Faith</b>, Patterson is quoted as saying,
<i>“In the veterinary program, I did not feel odd being a part of the group of students working in the veterinary clinic although I was the only black person there. The absence of animosity encouraged me to see veterinary medicine as a field in which I could practice without being hampered by the racial stereotypes and obstacles that would confront me as a medical doctor, for example. I found the teachers of Iowa State helpful whenever I approached them. Educationally, it was a fine experience.”</i>

He also received a Master's degree in Science at Iowa State College in 1927. After leaving Ames, Patterson went on to receive a Doctorate of Philosophy from Cornell University.

He was invited to serve on the President Harry S. Truman's President's Commission on Higher Education from 1946-1947.

He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Ronald Reagan on June 23, 1987.

He died on April 26, 1988. He was a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity.

== HBCU Contributions ==

Dr. Patterson taught veterinary medicine at Virginia State College and eventually became the Director of Agriculture there. He went on to become the head of the Veterinary Division. He left Virginia State College to become the Director of the School of Agriculture at Tuskegee Institute. In 1935, at age 33, he became the President of Tuskegee Institute -- a role he served in from 1935-1953.

Over the course of his presidency, he is credited with transforming Tuskegee from an institute to a university with graduate programs that still exist today. He founded the School of Veterinary Medicine in 1944, the Commercial Dietetics program, and spearheaded the Engineering and Commercial Aviation programs.

In 1944, he also founded the United Negro College Fund. He was the director of the Phelps-Stokes Fund from 1958-1969. The Phelps-Stokes Fund worked to improve education for youth of all disadvantaged backgrounds. He also founded the Robert R. Moton Memorial Institute which worked to improve the recruitment and management processes of HBCUs nationwide.

== Legacy ==

The United Negro College Fund established the Frederick D. Patterson Research Institute (FDPRI) in 1996. It is the nation's foremost research institution regarding educational issues facing African Americans from pre-school to adulthood.

There is a rich, but largely unknown history of African Americans who parlayed their Iowa State University education into successful and impactful careers at historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). ''HBCU Connections at Iowa State University'' begins the work of excavating and illuminating these stories, profiling African American alumni of Iowa State University who have served as faculty, staff, and administrators at HBCUs.

One goal of this project is to begin to bridge the gap between the Special Collections & University Archives department at Iowa State University and the Special Collections departments at the HBCUs represented in these profiles. Another goal of this project is to add representation of black students into our archive. They were here. They made a difference. They made history.

This is a living and breathing project. The expectation is that as more researchers uncover more information that fit the parameters, more people or more information can be added (with sources). The parameters are <i>anyone who received a degree at Iowa State University between 1900-1950 and went on to a high-ranking and/or high-impact position at a historically black college or university (HBCU). </i> To add more information, email: archives@iastate.edu.

''A note on language: This project uses the names of colleges and universities contemporaneous with the individuals profiled. These names may contain language that is considered offensive today.''

Ada M. DeBlanc-Yerwood

2018-05-17T19:52:14Z

Sdestine:

'''Ada Marie DeBlanc-Yerwood Simond''' (November 14, 1903-October 22, 1989) was a children's author, historian, co-founder of the W.H. Passon Historical Society, and co-founder of the George Washington Carver Museum in Austin.

== Life and Education ==

Ada DeBlanc was born on November 14, 1903 in Iberia Parish, Louisiana. Her family was descended from an eighteenth century French explorer, Louis Juchereau de St. Denis. Her parents were illiterate Creoles who spoke a dialect of French patois. Her family was farmers who grew soybeans, sugarcane and rice. In 1914, her family relocated to Austin, Texas due to several years of poor farm production. While in Austin, DeBlanc's father worked in a drugstore and her mother worked as a seamstress. Since DeBlanc was a teenager, she worked as a housekeeper and was the caretaker of her younger siblings.

Ada DeBlanc, with the help of friends, was able to take the equivalency tests necessary to earn diplomas from the college preparatory and business departments. After working as a secretary at Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College, she married Aubrey Askey and had three children. They divorced in 1927.

In 1929, Ada DeBlanc married Dr. Charles Yerwood. Against her husband's wishes, she decided to return to school. She worked as a secretary at Tillotson College in exchange for free tuition. In 1934, she received a B.S. in Family Life Education. She, then, went on to Iowa State College where she earned an M.S. Home Economics Education and an M.S. Child Development in 1936. Her thesis was titled: “Certain Housing Conditions and Activities of Negro Girls enrolled in Federally-Aided Schools in Texas as One Index of Their Educational Needs”.

Charles Yerwood died in 1940. Ada had previously been inspired by him to work in public health so, in 1942, she became a public health representative for Texas Tuberculosis Association. She served in that role for 25 years. Her role required her to travel across Texas to educate poor families about topics such as sanitation, nutrition, disease prevention, safety and medical resources. She also recruited volunteers to form community health organizations in the towns she visited.

During this time, she also continued her studies in public health, human development, conflict resolution, and community organization at a number of schools including University of Michigan and University of Chicago. In 1949, she married Luther Simond, a teacher.

In 1967, Ada retired due to age but continued pursuing numerous other positions. When asked why she would not retire, she said, <i>“Old is a state of mind. When you do nothing, you become nothing. The need to be productive—give life to something—doesn’t automatically stop at age 65 or 70.”</i>.

In 1977, she began her career as a historian and writer. She wrote and published a series of children's books that depicted historically accurate stories of black families living in Austin in the 1900s. In 1979, she co-founded the W. H. Passon Historical Society to promote Austin's Black history. In 1980, she also co-founded the George Washington Carver Museum in a building that was Austin's first Black library.

Ada DeBlanc Simond died of a heart attack on October 22, 1989.
