History Of The Kansas Mennonites With A Study Of Their European Background, Victor C. Seibert

Master's Theses

Many books have been written on Mennonite history, but these deal largely with the religious aspect of their life. The purpose of this thesis is to present the social, moral, economic and political aspects of their migrations and life, not only of their early centuries, but of the present time. Only enough of the religious element will be presented to give a general modern knowledge of their religious beliefs which in turn influence their life in general. Particularly will it be stressed how these people have influenced the history of Kansas. This thesis was written for the purpose of preserving …

Master's Theses

This study is a scientific investigation to determine the educational values of band instruction as a part of the curriculum as well as the accepted methods of procedure, organization and administration of the high school band in Western Kansas.

Thomas Jefferson Randolph, Democratic Leader, Jerome A. Hurwitz Apr 1938

Thomas Jefferson Randolph, Democratic Leader, Jerome A. Hurwitz

Master's Theses

There has been considerable time spent in writing the life and accomplishments of Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson, although he had several children, never had a son. Therefore, Thomas Jefferson Randolph, the son of Martha Jefferson Randolph, was the most direct male descendant of the second President.

However, no one has made an attempt to write the biography of the grandson . It is particularly appropriate to write his life not only because of Thomas Jefferson Randolph's famous lineage but because he was an ardent adherent to the Democratic principles of his illustrious grandfather.

Greek And Roman Child Life As Represented In Some Greek And Latin Authors, Anne Louise Sanford Jan 1938

Greek And Roman Child Life As Represented In Some Greek And Latin Authors, Anne Louise Sanford

Master's Theses

In the following study I have attempted to present a picture of Greek and Roman child life as it is represented in some Greek and Latin authors. Most of my material has been derived from well known authors such as Homer, Plato, Quintilian, etc. But there has been an attempt to enlarge my scope by consulting some other Greek and Latin authors easily available in the University of Richmond Library, the Richmond Public Library and the Virginia state Library. In my general discussion I have drawn freely on available works which would be helpful for elucidation and comparison.

From Big Creek to the Smoky Hill River on the south, any clay there may be is covered by a rich top soil which has filled the lowlands from the hills north of Hays, to the low hills along the river.
