Indiana Governor Henry F. Schricker with Roy V. Peel and Others
Indiana Governor Henry F. Schricker (second from right) and Director of Census Roy V. Peel (right) pose with two unidentified officials from Indiana University with a map of the United States. The map illustrates that the population center of the United States shifted from Indiana to Illinois. Text printed at the top of the map says, "Center of Population 1790-1950." Text at the bottom says: "Hello Illinois! Goodbye Indiana!" Across the center of the map are a line of several stars, indicating the shifting center of population.
