摘要

Through an examination of primary sources and the established historiography, this study exposes the hidden world of student philanthropy at Indiana University (IU) between the launch of the Memorial Fund Campaign in 1921 and the founding of the IU Student Foundation in 1950. This study demonstrates that IU students in the early-mid twentieth century were philanthropists who grappled with the world's troubles, enthusiastically advocated for causes close to their heart, and used their college years to explore possibilities for a better world. Students created and sustained within the university an entire universe of voluntary associations that reflected their moral imaginations. In other words, this is a study of the way students envisioned, conceptualized, defined, and executed their idea of "the good life" or "the good society" through donations of time, talent, and treasure.;American colleges and universities were created, in large part, to educate undergraduate students in a way that prepared them for responsible participation in American society, with the intent and capacity to act in the interest of the public good, or be philanthropic minded. To date, no historical studies focus specifically on students as philanthropists and little is known about the ways students used their time on campus to develop their moral imagination and philanthropic behaviors. Scholars have emphasized the role advocacy played in the student experience, but they have not explored in-depth the other ways in which students expressed their benevolent impulse. Historians of philanthropy have been preoccupied with individuals and organizations that wield significant power and money, but they have forgotten about college students, who are without those same resources but often, go on to positions of leadership and stature. It is in those overlooked crevices in the history of philanthropy and higher education that this study reveals a rich and bountiful world of good deeds and altruistic aspirations.
