Moving here, as well as construction was a huge economic boom. As we go from agricultural to suburbia, one of the big contributing factors of that are these machines right here. So you have cooling, which this would have filled up with water and air would have been blown through it because in the desert its so dry that the addition of humidity would cool he air down. But it didnt do as good a job. Then you have this, which was brought to arizona via motorola. But it then made its way not just from that industrial use but then every home started having its own air conditioning as well. This really caused was one of the major factors in folks now moving to arizona. Because before that, it was really the weather that prevented folks from being here yearround. But with the addition of air conditioning, you now had the ability to control your own climate and your house. Arizona is a state that is very much still finding itself. Its a new state. 1912. We just celebrated, a few years ago, centennial, 100 years of statehood. With that were still trying to grow. The like youve got the postwar boom that happened. Youve got the population that was here before. So were getting ready, were going through a renaissance right now of another explosion of population. The arizona collection here at the a. S. U. Library preserves and makes accessible the papers 14 members of congress from arizona. The goldwater papers and the hayden papers are the two largest archival collections that document the work of the arizona congressional delegation. Hayden is an interesting individual because his father, charles trummable hayden, was the first white settler of the city of tempe, about 1870. And he built his adoby home along the then raging salt river, a place that is now called mill avenue. After the mill that he actually built across the street from la casa ead known as vieja. His son was carl hayden, born in tempe, went on to attend the Arizona Territorial Normal School here in tempe. And then became our first u. S. Congressman in 1912 and later senator from arizona until 1969. Carl hayden is truly a son of the city of tempe. Barry goldwater lived in scottsdale. His wife had a strong relationship with the university and ultimately he brought his papers here and so weve been very fortunate to have these great archival resources for our students, our faculty, visiting scholars, and the general public. Available for inspection, research and interpretation. Carl hayden, through his 57year career in congress, first in the house of representatives, and the u. S. Senate, was known as the silent senator. He had the reputation of being the workhorse, not the show horse in his work in congress. Barry goldwater was longtime senator from arizona and many would describe him as the show horse, his work in the United States senate. What that really means is, when you look at carl haydens career, he was really responsible for cosponsoring nd write aing a huge amount of legislation that benefited the citizens of arizona and the citizens of the United States. His legacy was very much a legislative legacy, passing things like arranging for the passage of legislation like the haydencartwright act, which changed the formula for federal highway Construction Funding from a populationbased funding to an area or square mileagebased funding. That bill ultimately really benefited the states in the west, where there were large expanses of land yet to be settled and highway construction could proceed with that type of funding. Barry goldwater was really a the n who is an icon for western United States. Hes an individual clearly remembered for his president ial campaign in which he presented a new vision for conservative republican politics. Barry was very much the show horse, he was a person that represented the freedom of the west, the rugged individualism of the west. He had a strong jaw and bright eyes that reminded people of what it was like or what people believed it was like to live in the western United States. Through his president ial campaign and his work in the United States senate, he was a person who represented the interests of the west to the general population and presented a new idea of what the west could be. The first material well look at today is this lovely handwritten ledger which presents the first minutes of the Arizona Territorial Normal School. Senator haydens father, Charles Trumble hayden, was the first president of the territorial Normal School, and you can see his signature here at the bottom of the first minutes of the Normal School in july of 1885. So being a leading citizen in the town, he saw the great opportunity to bring a great Educational Institution to tempe. Carl then attended the Normal School, graduated in 1896 and went on to stanford university. Our ntioned that he became first u. S. Representative from arizona in 1912 and then became an important member of the United States senate. I selected some materials from the hayden papers. This particular file has to do with highway construction and planning. We can see, its a fairly typical file, containing publications about the pop tick topic hes working on, we have draft legislation and we have correspondence from constituents. This letter, actually going back to the secretary treasurer of the Arizona Hotel association in 1956, talking about the implications for route selection as they build freeways and highways using the federal highway funds that resulted from the haydencartwright act. So this is a fairly typical file where we see the actual letters written by him and response to the inquiry from the arizona motor hotel association. And the representative of the kind of work that senators and congressmen do every day on behalf of the citizens of their state and their district. Senator hayden served in congress at a time when our political figures were larger than life heroes. Certainly the senators longevity in congress made him well known amongst arizonans. It was a much smaller place. There werent lots of people in arizona. Everybody knew everyone. And everyone knew about carl hayden in the days that he served in the congress and then the United States senate. So after his many years of service, when he was 80 years old, the citizens of arizona were given the opportunity to sign this wonderful book offering the heartiest congratulations to senator hayden on the occasion of his 80th birthday. And anyone was invited to come and sign these books. We have about eight of them. Very large, heavy books of signatures and address, contact information, for individuals who loved carl hayden and wanted to wish him happy birthday. So, this book, for me, really symbolizes the value of his Public Service and the way that arizona citizens really honored and loved carl hayden, because of what he did for them. In representing our interests in the United States congress and senate. In 1961, senator hayden was preparing for his last campaign for the senate, which occurred really in the fall of 1962. So supporters of the senator who were concerned about his ability to win the election, given the increasing dominance of republican politics in arizona, created an event called the carl hayden golden anniversary dinner. In which 1,000 people, 1,000 democratic supporters from around arizona, were invited to the westward ho hotel in Downtown Phoenix to honor senator hayden. The key guest at that event was president john f. Kennedy. Who was accompanied by Vice President johnson and a large number of members of congress. Were very fortunate to have received video of that event. And what we have here is the twoinch video that was recording the event when carl hayden was honored there by president kennedy in november of 1961. Twoinch video is rarely seen these days. There are very few surviving machines that can play this type a of video tape and the work to digitize and conserve this kind of video is very skill and professional work. Were very fortunate to have been able to recover this video nd its now online, streaming, available for downloading, so anyone globally can actually see president kennedy talking about carl hayden and carl hayden talking about meeting William Jennings brian on the train to washington, d. C. , in 1912. So its a wonderful time cap sewell of carl haydens career capsule of carl haydens career, of Vice President johnson and president kennedys remarks about carl haydens career. And to have that in video for all to see is a wonderful treasure and a great object of study for police plith cal scientists and for political scientists and historians. I won the nomination but had to wait until the 12th of december, 1911. In 1964, Barry Goldwater was nominated and won the nomination for the the republican nomination for election to the office of the president of the United States. That set off many months of campaigning across the United States. In addition to the senatorial materials, we also have a very large collection of his campaign materials. I selected a couple of items today regarding his campaign. Here we have a couple of classic photographs from the campaign where we can see barry doing the hard work of trying to become president in 1964. But one of the interesting things about the senator was his interest in using media to assist his campaign for president. So there were many, Many Television appearances and films that were actually made to support the campaign. This Motion Picture film in fact is a very important film in the campaign that was known had the title, choice. This film in fact has been digitized sand available for viewing here in the and is available for viewing here in the goldwater archives. We have hundreds of Motion Picture films and audio recordings of senator goldwaters run for president of the United States. And also media appearances before and after the president ial campaign. As a result of the popularity that senator goldwater demonstrated through his campaign for the presidency in 1964, he was able to meet with a number of distinguished individuals and other public servants. And in fact met with many president s before and after his president ial campaign. From his collection weve selected a few photographs of meeting a number of president s. Here we have Barry Goldwater and president gerald ford speaking briefly right outside the oval office. And the photo is mounted and it bears president fords signature with a nice greeting for senator goldwater. Here we have a meeting of senator goldwater and president eisenhower. A little known fact about goldwaters president ial campaign was that he actually met with president eisenhower at eisenhowers farm in gettysburg, pennsylvania. So the two of them were close allies in that 1964 president ial campaign. And you can see the two of them shaking hands in the photograph we have today. We also have a nice photograph of Barry Goldwater with president nixon. In the white house. They were rivals, political rivals in some ways. But later, as Richard Nixon became president , they became important allies in efforts to move forward republican legislation. We collect these materials because they support the instructional and Research Needs of our faculty and our students. They also demonstrate the Important Role that senators and congressmen play in representing our interests in washington. Much of the environment in arizona occurred because of projects like the Central Arizona project, the canal system that brings water from the Colorado River to phoenix and tucson, that water supply enables development and growth in the state of arizona. So having these materials here remind us of the importance of our democracy, remind us of the importance of effective representation in congress, and they tell us detailed stories about our families, our neighborhoods, our cities and the governments that work for s. When Charles Hayden and some of the other folks came to this area, you know, one of the most prominent features was this. It would have been something that really got peoples attention. But when you think about these pioneers going up here, they didnt have these nicely groomed paths, they had to pick their way among the rocks and kind of make their way up that trail. Its hard to say at times exactly what people were thinking, but the earliest folks that climbed up here certainly were kind of getting an eye towards what they might o with the area. Charles hayden is hes originally born in connecticut. He comes out west during the course of his life, travels over the santa fe trail, he runs freight a, he eventually makes it to arizona in the 1850s. In fact, he made it to tucson where he had a freight business, he had a meck tile business, and he also had a judge position, so many people around this area for years knew him as judge hayden. But hes essentially what youd refer to as a connecticut yankee in arizona. Who is now a man with a big freight business, a big again, a sales or merkin tile business, and so he very much is a frontier businessman here in arizona. This was a known crossing, a good crossing for the salt river. A salt river that people knew was very erratic. But they also knew that it was a river that had a lot of potential for irrigation. When he came up here, i think he certain lisa the crossing. Obviously, he would establish what is known as haydens ferry shortly therefore. The one thing to thereafter. The one thing to keep in mind is your ferry business is only going to be part of the year. Its going to be seasonal. Because of the fact that its going to be during high water times for the river. Because much of the rest of the year youre going to have all these freight wagons crossing, not waiting for a ferry boat to cross, but simply going across. Because basically trains of freight wagons crossing here, you know, two and three wagons hitched to 18 or 20 mules or horses, crossing at one time, and if you have to wait for your whole team to cross with a ferry boat, people often try to find alternative ways. The hayden recognized that that was an ideal thing, because it was a good, suitable crossing location, he also saw that there were other possibilities, freight wagons always need work. They could use things Like Services for wagons to fix parts ofing a way ans. To carry extra parts of wagons. To carry from a extra freight across as they were traveling. For any number of mining camps or ranches that were north of the river. So he recognized the possibilities of that, without a doubt. Also, as things were starting, people were starting to think about agriculture in the area, he began to think about things like, you know, somebodys going to be needed to process all the wheat that people will grow in this area. So he actually conceived of, as far as we know, he con received of the mill in conceived of the mill in 1870 when he got the rights to the land where the mill would then be built. In addition, you have the black smith shop, you have carpenters works, you have wagon making facilities. Hes raising stock. Hes also at the same time promoting the growth of the area in terms of, hes pushing for the railroad, the railroad wont get to arizona or actually into yuma until the late 1870s. Doesnt get to the town of mir copea down here measure copea down here until 1880. Doesnt get up here until 1887. But hayden was pushing to for that that whole time. Even before that, or during the midst of that, hes also pushing for the creation of for tempe to get the territorial Teachers College, which will be known as the Normal School, eventually which will become a. S. U. In fact, the year before the railroad arrives, the Teachers College is built. The first Normal School building is built. He was active in the whole a lot of facets of the community. Certainly in promoting a sense of community, because he worked with everybody. Certainly the mexican frontiersmen, the mexican pioneers who came up here, many of them worked with him and for him. These mexican workers did a whole lot of things with mr. Hayden, in addition to having their own farms and things like that. He also worked with the native American Communities around here. They would often, many of them brought their wheat up here for him to process into flower. He worked with the flour. He worked with the mormon communities, a number of which would settle, some of whom settled right here in tempe. And so he was really a Community Builder in a wider sense. He was always thinking about what could dough to help the Community Get bigger and i think thats in a lot of ways why his figure has become bigger historically. And as man who knew that it wasnt he couldnt do this by himself, it took the whole community to Work Together to do this. The print collection is one of the largest at the a. S. U. Art museum. We have 7,000 works on paper. And they are cared for and stored and made available for close study and viewing here in the print study room. One of the areas of concentration within the print collection is artists dealing with social and political content. A lot of these artists throughout history have recognized the art forms ability to really bring about social change. They are just like us, living in their own time frame and they want to reflect upon whats going on around them. And pote
