Portrays, through visuals and a musical background, the adventures of a little boy who sails into the port of Long Beach, California, on a magic sailboat.

Records the shore patrol towing the boat and the child home and concludes with the enchanted craft sailing away by itself.
Charles Hagen, professor of Biology and Chairman of the of the Advisory Committee for the Arboretum, gave a presentation at the May 6, 1983 Board of Trustees meeting about the Trailing arbutus, including the playing of a videotape of the arbutus flowering in its native habitat. It is believed this is the Field Master of that tape, filmed April 11, 1983.
Hagen talks about the growth requirements of the arbutus, features of the plant, and the possibility of transplanting some into the Arboretum, which was then being planned.
The beginning sound is poor but recovers at about 1:00.
Lecture delivered by Richard B. Gunderman, MD, PhD (Chancellor’s Professor of Radiology, Pediatrics, Medical Education, Philosophy, Liberal Arts, Philanthropy, and Medical Humanities and Health Studies, John A. Campbell Professor of Radiology, Indiana University) on November 14, 2024. Indiana’s history of medicine society is named in honor of Hoosier John Shaw Billings, yet most medical school faculty, residents, and students know little to nothing about Billings. In short, he was one of the greatest polymaths in the history of American medicine, whose contributions to the profession and many other fields are virtually unparalleled. By revisiting Billings’ contributions, we not only pay honor to this great man but also fuel our own imaginations and find inspiration about the contributions we are capable of making.
This event was sponsored by the John Shaw Billings History of Medicine Society, IU School of Medicine History of Medicine Student Interest Group, IU Indianapolis Medical Humanities & Health Studies Program, and the Ruth Lilly Medical Library.
Lecture delivered by Bijal J. Trivedi (Senior Science Editor, National Geographic; freelance journalist). As recently as 2012, cystic fibrosis was considered a fatal genetic lung disease with most patients dying in their 20s, if not much earlier. But beginning in the 1950s, four couples, desperate to find treatments for their sick children, launched a foundation that would eventually use venture philanthropy to develop a radical type of life-saving personalized medicine that works for 90 percent of Cystic Fibrosis patients. Other disease foundations are striving to replicate the model and the NIH is using the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s strategy to accelerate cures for diseases, rare and common.
This event was co-sponsored by the John Shaw Billings History of Medicine Society; IU School of Medicine Department of Medicine, Department of Medical and Molecular Genetics, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Department of Pediatrics, and History of Medicine Student Interest Group; IU Indianapolis Medical Humanities & Health Studies Program; and the Ruth Lilly Medical Library.

This film documents the annual South Carolina agribusiness tour, a week long trip by bus that takes bankers, businessmen, farmers, and agricultural leaders in search of new ideas that can be put to use in South Carolina. This particular trip takes the group to Michigan and Canada.
This film documents the fourth annual South Carolina Agri-Business Caravan tour, a 2000-mile flying trip to the Mississippi Delta in search of new money-making ideas to bring back and put to use in South Carolina agriculture. Traveling between Memphis and New Orleans, the camera visits farms, plants, plantations, experiment stations and research laboratories, and captures the agribusiness activity of the New Orleans harbor.
Deals with the technology and geography of food production by depicting the role of land in production, the methods employed in the production of plant and animal products, and the relation of animal food production to plant foods. Problems concerning the increase in world production of foods are posed and possible solutions suggested.
