Upper Iowa University in Early Days
A fragmentary reminiscence describes Fayette’s early days and the founding of Upper Iowa University. It notes landowners Men Alexander and Roberton shaping a town to boost land prices, and early efforts by professors Poor and Cornell, with Lucius Bughee arriving as president to organize classes. The piece mentions a winter term, a shift of leadership, and a sale of household goods at a Miss Court sale on Water Street in Fayette.
