Web. 23 March 2016 Bertha Shambaugh (1871-1953), an accomplished naturalist, studied under Thomas Macbride at the State University of Iowa, and married Benjamin Shambaugh, the founding Chair of the Department of Political Science. Shambaugh Auditorium in the Main Library is named after Bertha Shambaugh’s husband. The Shambaughs’ Clinton Street home, where they hosted Jane Addams, Amelia Earhart, and Thornton Wilder, was bequeathed by Bertha to the University of Iowa in 1953, and is now the base of the International Writing Program. Bertha Shambaugh studied nature from an early age. Her drawings of plant specimens were published in magazines, and she became the president of the local Agassiz Association (named after the celebrated geologist Louis Agassiz). An accomplished photographer, she documented the houses, gardens, shops, and craftspeople of the Amana Colonies. For six years before she married in 1897, she chaired the Biology Department at Iowa City High School. Throughout her life, she sought out intellectual communities, and was an active member of the American Association of University Women and the Iowa Press and Author’s Club. Bertha Shambaugh was born 14 days after her husband in 1871, and she outlived him by 13 years. Her life spanned the popularization of the phonograph and the television. Rich documentation survives of Bertha Shambaugh’s varied endeavors, some of which are chronicled in the 36-volume collection of her House Books, which contain clippings and correspondence.
