this is a story of how i became introduced to both hoover and lou henry hoover. i'll spend the majority of my time talking about what her life was like as a student at stanford. well, then turn back to when they came to what's known as the farm which they considered their home throughout the rest of their lives. talk about the building of the lou henry hoover and lou's dedicated support for music on the campus. note that for all the stanford libraries, they're available for viewing and download at full resolution, and the links are on the slides. in may 2000, i became the map librarian, the brownar sciences library and. map collections. the map cases were piled high to the ceiling with un cataloged maps. field notebooks. drawings. something called the stanford geological survey. i started to learn more about this collection and found that the survey exist f 100 years from 1895 to 1995. during time, the students and the faculty went into the field to survey and map parts of california, nevada and utah. this manuscript was available only to those visited the librar

hoover. attached is her address. in lon.ows us to understand the range of opportunity available to the men who graduated with in geology during this time. let's look at how this let's look at picte as an example. at the bottom left is solon shed. he graduedith alor's degr i years of lou. we'urn to him in just a nu. our mcdonell. you might remember him from survey picture wat the start. raduated with civil engineering degree and started a st.m clinton byrnes, also a they based their firm in kansas and that firm still exists and ha employees. j giggles in the back next to looks like he didn't graduate. b's notes are crc s lacked blan. now graduating in dot dot dot o further information diggle state started out as a foreman of the largest stamp mills in the attica mine at angel's camp calaveras county, california. he later movtral, where in 1904 he was a superintendent of a mine in coolgardie, west austral he died of a lingering illness in australia on may 14, 1910, leaving behind a wifa daughter. he was in charge of the hill s

at the hoover institution. there are guides here at the presidential museum library. we've also created at stanford a lou henry hoover, a 150 year legacy site people to use. and down at the bottom is a link to the stanford geological survey exhibit. and finally, i'd like to dge and thank all of these people without whom this presentation could not have happened. they all were instrumental in helping me to fact check dates and to find the pictures that were included here. so thanks to all of them and thanks to you for your attention. my name is edward maeder and i'm here massachusetts at the kind invitation of tom schwartz who i've for many years because of my erstwhile involvement with abraham, which actually began in 71 by making the costumes for an abraham lincoln wax museum that was actually built in cedar falls, iowa, in 1971. so my so my connections goh bac. so when he contacted me last fall to talk about lou and fashions are i was one of the many people who knew very little about lou henry hoover i to say

so these are really fascinating in terms of lou hoover.e a look at that at the sleeve, i'm going to show you a bit later the sleeve right here that that influenced a very important gown in collection that i'm going to be talking about extensively. now. there is a dress in the collection from redfern and. john redfern began in the isle of wight and then to london and to paris and■c was the heart of, of the fashion industry. he, he competed with charles frederick wirth. he was really one of the most foremost couture's and couturier and is a dress in the collection. and here you see the label redf paris, and the label is always the band inside the bodice and it says here by special appointed into her imperial majesty empress of russia. and on the right it says to to the princess of wales who who would become queen very shortly be victoria on in january zoin 1901 and then she of course became the queen. this is the dress and this is just a detail of it and kind the kind of workmanship, the craftsmanship, the lace, the embroidery, the beads and

and i usually talk about the way hoover used the investigation of dr. king to try and destroy his public role, try to to basically damage his character. and and that is something that we we can never we should never do. it takes us out of our role as protecting rights and liberties, enforcing our laws, and puts us into an adversarial role against our very own people. and that's we can't do that. so it's really become part of the way we have to look at ourselves. we are given a lot of trust by, but we can also abuse it very badly if we don't pay attention to what we're doing and go off and hoover's case, because of combination of personal prejudices and fears and hatreds and abuse, our authority there is an fbi museum. is it open to the public? well, we don't call it a museum. and we've kind of evolved from the idea of the fbi tour, which as i'm sure you know, became one of the most popular in d.c., not quite the white house level, but close enough. but we do have the fbi experience, which is then introduced for the public. you can make arrangements to c

what _ labour are hoovering up those votes. what you _ labour are hoovering up those votes. people think that politicians respect people like them. this survey is broken into socio— economic groups, one half below £35,000, the other half above. the top issues, cost of living, economy and inflation, nhs and hospitals. the two income groups are pretty much tight on where they think they are important issues. but on issue numberfor mac, which is poverty and inequality, that is the first one where lower income groups think it is more important. on housing, again, lower income groups think it is more important. and number six, which is climate change, it is higher income groups that think it is a bigger deal.- it is higher income groups that think it is a bigger deal. thank you ve much think it is a bigger deal. thank you very much indeed _ think it is a bigger deal. thank you very much indeed for— think it is a bigger deal. thank you very much indeed for that. - earlier tonight, nigel farage, on a bbc interview for panorama, disparaged nato, saying the west "provoked" russia's i

over 1000 economists signed a petition to president herbert hoover, republican president herbert hoover, asking him to veto the smoot-hawley tariffs. america's most famous industrialist at the time, henry ford, knew it would be a disaster for business and a disaster for the economy. he went to the white house to try to convince republican president herbert hoover to veto the tariff bill written by republican senator reed smoot and congressman willis holly and passed with overwhelming republican support in the house and senate. henry ford called the tariffs, quote, and economic stupidity. j.p. morgan's chief executive said, quote, i almost went down on my knees to beg herbert hoover to veto the asinine smoot-hawley tariff. herbert hoover, a successful businessman in his own right, thought he knew better. and he signed the smoot-hawley tariffs into law and in the next election herbert hoover lost his reelection campaign for the presidency to the governor of new york, franklin delano roosevelt. in the same election in 1932 when voters were living with the disaster of reed smoot's bright id

each specific case, when they tried to prohibit doing something with the fed, no, because... that hoovertire the history, so to speak, is clear of the united states, as it is believed, but recently after, so to speak, they began to study all these archives, that supposedly there is incriminating evidence there and something else about this, apparently, this is self-promotion, it’s kind of like that, skaver, iguver, of course, well, listen, this is really a rather curious american system, which structure and self-promotion, cia director kolubi is looking at you. so to speak, it is clear that in the federal government in washington, the political class was extremely interested in this remained, he was the only non -political head of the fbi, they were interested, who began by handing over a list of unfavorable reliable ones, of course, this is who controlled the movement of everyone. i’ll say it again, let’s say this, i’ll tell you my point of view, our point of view regarding the fact that hoover rules everything from the grave in its entirety and the frs, so to speak, it’s extremely cons

he did this simply to silence hoover, and then when the cia was finally created, it was presented tongress as an organization that was created specifically to fight the soviet union and communism. in fact, the us was the last major country to establish an intelligence service. they previously had a wartime organization called the office of strategic services, but it specialized in combat. with nazism, the goal of the cia was to fight communism, after which the course of first destroying the soviet union, and then russia, never changed. in 1951, with the participation of the central intelligence agency , the so-called american committee was created. liberation of the peoples of russia, which after some time established, as you remember, radio free europe, one of the main mouthpieces of such evil anti-soviet propaganda. listen, listen, today a new liberation radio station begins its broadcasts by representatives of russian anti-communist groups. a coordination center for the anti-bolshevik struggle was created to liberate the homeland from the communist dictatorship. it was the america

j j edgar hoover was very much against the incarcerate in the fbi.there were voices within federal government. hoover the best known you, the attorney general, francis biddle, initially was opposed it, and he had a couple of young aides who were fighting very hard against it bitterly at a certain capitulated and was sort of tried to wash his hands of it and never told fdr that it would be unconstitutional. and so but but but in terms of the the kind of security perspective, you're absolutely right. j edgar hoover was very strongly against it. and there was other evidence. you know, the war department claim there had been signaling to shore from ships which showed and that they were probably from japanese. and this showed the dangers and the federal communication commission told the justice department very explicitly this false. we have extensive records of this. this simply did not happen. and yet it was one of the things that the war department relied upon. but the second lesson that i think is also very important to take away from this is that when

herbert hoover trump.

what's his name, the worst job record since hoover hoover. the worst job record since herbert hoover. lowest unemployment for 40 straight months. low. inflation coming down. when people talk about cost of living, that is a legitimate concern, but we are preeminent in the world and taking down inflation, and what we have also done, while in concerned about the cost of groceries, as anybody would be for families, but think about how we have reduced the cost of medicine, of healthcare, reduced the cost of prescription drugs. in our bill, if you are a senior on medicare, and you need insulin, before us, it was five to $600 a month for seniors. under joe biden and the i.r.a. legislation, it is $35 a month. so when we talk about the cost of living, we have to talk about the cost of healthcare as part of that, so again, it is about the kitchen table, the cost of living, a woman's right to choose, which is an economic issue as well as a democracy issue. so, let's just talk about what is at stake for people in the election, because they don't care. th
