For Banned Books Week, we offer you this 81-year-old image from our collections.

No man and no force can put thought in a concentration camp forever. No man and no force can take from the world the books that embody man's eternal fight against tyranny.

A print of this poster currently hangs in the hallway between our reading room and classroom, along with several other posters about libraries, books, and reading, dating from the 1920s to the 1940s.

Books are weapons in the war of ideas [graphic] / S. Broder. RARE FLAT D743.25 .B75 1942

Lloyd L. Gaines 🖤: In 1938, he filed a lawsuit against the University of Missouri Law. He won his case.

Three months later (around March 19, 1939), he disappeared never to be found.

Lloyd Lionel Gaines was born in Water Valley, Mississippi in 1911. After the death of his father, he moved with his mom and siblings to in St. Louis, Missouri. He was a valedictorian at Vashon High School. After winning a $250 ($4,000 in current dollars) scholarship in an essay contest, Gaines went to college and graduated with honors and a bachelor's degree in history from Lincoln University, a historically black college in Jefferson City, Missouri. It was the state's segregated undergraduate institution for Black Americans.

Despite an outstanding scholastic record, Gaines was denied admission based solely on the grounds that Missouri’s Constitution called for “separate education of the races.” Because Missouri had no public law school that admitted Black applications, state law required the state to pay Gaines’ tuition at public universities in Iowa, Kansas or Nebraska.

Gaines sued the University of Missouri seeking an order granting him admission to its Law School. In 1938, he won his case before the US Supreme Court in State of Missouri ex rel Gaines v. Canada. Although the Court did not order that he be admitted to the Law School, it did hold that Missouri’s lack of an in-state law school for Black students violated the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection of the laws. Missouri complied with the order by setting aside limited funds for the creation of a Black law school at Lincoln University.

Missouri’s minimal efforts to comply with the Supreme Court’s opinion in the courts was challenged. As the legal battle unfolded, Gaines disappeared under mysterious but unmistakably suspicious circumstances. You know why...

In March 1939, at age 28 and only three months after his Supreme Court victory, Gaines went missing while living in Chicago. Lloyd Gaines was never seen or heard from again. His case was dropped. Not only did Gaines never have the chance to attend the University of Missouri, but neither did any other Black student until 1950. The Law School at the University of Missouri-Columbia did not admit its first Black students until the late 1960s.

Researchers driving innovative solutions to advance use of 'plastic' roads

Millions of roads across the United States are constructed with asphalt pavement that's deteriorating over time. Now, researchers at the University of Missouri are using recyclables, including plastic waste, as a sustainable solution to fix America's fracturing road system. In partnership with the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), researchers from the Mizzou Asphalt Pavement and Innovation Lab (MAPIL) recently created a real-world test road using recycled materials like scrap tires and plastic waste along a portion of Interstate 155 in the Missouri Bootheel. By increasing the sustainability of asphalt mixes, this innovative method can help reduce the number of items going into landfills or leaking into the environment, said Bill Buttlar, director of MAPIL. "Missouri is the Show-Me State, so we take a very pragmatic view," Buttlar said. "The science can be thorny and difficult, but we are up to the task. We're excited that while our approach is complicated in the lab, its simple to execute in the field, so it makes it easily adaptable, scalable and cost-effective to incorporate into many types of road environments."

01.14.23 We worked on making a recording of Alarm Will Sound performing the first movement of my Execution symphony in Columbia MO today. It's beautiful to hear this long-gestating piece come alive with such mastery. I am told that the world premiere on Jan 17 2023 will be streamed live on the University of Missouri School of Music YouTube channel. The show begins at 7pm CST / 8pm EST.

640-year-old fly, anyone?

We're not sure how long this fly has been in this 14th-century notary's notebook, but it was a favorite among the students who spotted it in class a few weeks ago.

This comes after some college students in Missouri as well as elsewhere in the country have suffered serious injuries or death following acts of hazing on campuses. Many of these incidents involve heavy consumption of alcohol in a short period of time. One case, the Danny Santulli case, at the University of Missouri, has garnered national attention.

Wear and forget: An ultrasoft material for on-skin health devices

With cancer, diabetes and heart disease among the leading causes of disability and death in the United States, imagine a long-term, in-home monitoring solution that could detect these chronic diseases early and lead to timely interventions.

Zheng Yan and a team of researchers at the University of Missouri may have a solution. They have created an ultrasoft "skin-like" material—that's both breathable and stretchable—for use in the development of an on-skin, wearable bioelectronic device capable of simultaneously tracking multiple vital signs such as blood pressure, electrical heart activity and skin hydration.

"Our overall goal is to help improve the long-term biocompatibility and the long-lasting accuracy of wearable bioelectronics through the innovation of this fundamental porous material which has many novel properties," said Yan, an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering and the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.

Made from a liquid-metal elastomer composite, the material's key feature is its skin-like soft properties.
