“Rivers, for all their power to position cities and to transport goods, may possess another power: serving the social good.

Patrick Dobson, adjunct professor of history, will examine the role of rivers during the Progressive Era (from 1880 to 1920) during a presentation at 11 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 27, in the Craig Community Auditorium (GEB 233) at Johnson County Community College.

Admission is free, and the public is invited to attend. Those with an interest in history, sustainability or the politics of natural resources are especially encouraged to attend; no prior registration is necessary.

The audience will be introduced to three men with varying conceptions of a river’s ultimate purpose. They are:

• Author John Gneisenau Neihardt
• Irrigation advocate William Ellsworth Smythe
• Nevada politician Francis Griffith Newlands.

The presentation is sponsored by the Kansas Studies Institute (KSI), located at JCCC. The institute’s goal is to provide engaging lectures and activities that highlight the people, places and history of Kansas.

For more information, contact James Leiker, director of the KSI.”
