Abstract:

Papers (bulk 1954-1973) of Walter Calvert of Benton, Wisconsin, a Wisconsin Assemblyman for Iowa and La Fayette counties from 1955 through 1965. While in the Assembly, Calvert served as chairman of the Republican Assembly Caucus (1961) and sat on many committees including: Chairman of the Assembly Education Committee (1957, 1961 and 1963); Legislative Council Education Committee (1963); Assembly Transportation Committee; and Public Welfare Committee. After an unsuccessful bid for the State Senate in 1966, Calvert served on the Southwestern Wisconsin Vocational, Technical, and Adult Education District Board (1972-1973) and was Chairman of the Southwestern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (1972-1973). The papers principally consist of correspondence and reports pertaining to his service in the Assembly regarding issues such as mining and mineral taxes, the parochial bus bill, public education, and higher education. Other materials pertain to his involvement in both the SWRPC and SWVTAE. Also included is background information on Calvert, campaign ephemera, obituaries and memorials, and guidelines for the Walter B. and Millicent E. Calvert Memorial Scholarship.
