In 1964, Paul decided to interview at the Fort Wayne State School as a recreation aide. They had football and baseball games, dances, and a summer camp. Although these activities were fun, the experience was different in retrospect. The daily living of getting up, bathing, eating, and going to bed was very regimented. Life was miserable for the residents. Paul saw a lot of mistreatment of residents during his eight years at (the renamed) Fort Wayne State Hospital and Training Center.
After leaving the hospital, Paul worked at the Division on Mental Retardation and Department of Mental Health. Part of his job was to bring new ideas to the disability field. He helped introduce group homes to Indiana in the 1970s. In developing regulations for group home operations, Paul and colleagues were concerned the institutional model would be adopted by the group homes. Paul states, “A lot of that proved true – and it was again people with good intentions, or at least they thought they had good intentions.” Paul discusses initiatives funded by the Indiana Governor’s Council for People with Disabilities. He believes the most important project the Council ever funded was Partners in Policymaking. The program brings together people with disabilities and family members for eight weekends over the course of a year to develop leadership skills. He explains how the Council evolved when Suellen Jackson-Boner became the administrator.
When asked to identify the biggest changes in the disability field over his 30 plus years, Paul stated the closing of the institutions. In addition, Paul shares his observations on community attitude changes. Paul retired from the Indiana Governor’s Council for People with Disabilities around 2009. He was interviewed in 2013.

Paul V. McNutt, BA 1913, used his journalism experiences at IU and his law degree from Harvard to launch a lifetime of leadership and public service roles, including serving as governor of Indiana.
As an IU undergraduate, McNutt served as editor of The Indiana Student, forerunner of the Indiana Daily Student. In 1925, McNutt became dean of IU’s law school, and from 1928-29, was national commander of the American Legion in 1928 and 1929. He campaigned for Indiana governor from his position at the law school and became governor in 1933.
As governor, he reorganized state government, pushed through a social security program, reworked the tax code and burnished his credentials to prepare a run at the presidency of the United States. He had strong popular support, and McNutt-for-President clubs were set up across the country. But he stepped aside when Franklin Roosevelt declared his intention to run for his second term.
Roosevelt appointed McNutt high commissioner of the Philippines, where he worked with Filipino leaders to persuade the U.S. Department of State to allow Jews a legal path out of Europe through the Philippines. His efforts effectively rescued thousands of Jews from the Holocaust.
Later, he spent six years as administrator of the Federal Security Administration, which managed many New Deal programs. From 1942 to 1945, he ran the War Manpower Commission. After the war, he was appointed the first U. S. ambassador to the Philippine Republic. He was featured on the covers of Time and Life magazines in 1939 and was on Time’s cover again when he begin his stint at the War Manpower Commission.
McNutt retired from public service to practice law in New York, Washington, D. C., and Manila. On campus, the Paul V. McNutt Quadrangle is named in his honor. He died in 1955 and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
“I lost my vision at-- I was 26 months old. I was struck by lightning.” When it was time to go to school, Pauline Ulrey’s ophthalmologist did not want her to go to the Indiana School for the Blind. “I don’t know his line of reasoning, but that was his decision.” Pauline’s first elementary school did not provide accommodations for her blindness. Although Pauline was blind, she transferred to a sight-saving classroom at the end of second grade. Sight-saving classrooms targeted children with partial vision. During this time, some people believed vision could worsen if a child over-used what sight they had. The purpose of the classroom was to reduce eye strain.
After the eighth grade, Pauline went to a high school with a sight-saving classroom. When vocational rehabilitation told Pauline she wasn’t college-material, her sight-saving teacher, Anna Parker, told Pauline she could go to college and paid four semesters of her college education. Pauline went on to get her bachelors and master’s degree in social work. When she was interviewed in 2015, Pauline was a field representative for Leader Dogs for the Blind.
