The Council Of Colonial Virginia : 1700-1750, Esther Campbell Walsh

Honors Theses

1660 is the date conveniently accepted as marking the turn of Virginia society away from its early democratic character. After that date, colonial society became clearly stratified, and by the turn of the century had received its set firmly in the mold of aristocracy. The institution in which all the elements of aristocracy concentrated was the Governor's Council, which exhibited social, political, and economic power centered in the hands of a ruling few. The period from 1700 to 1750 is the high tide of councillor power. In the years before 1700, the steady rise of its power was interrupted by …

Immortality In Recent Philosophies, Paul Harold Kubik

Master's Theses

The problem of immortality has challenged man­ kind from the earliest dawn of civilization.A belief in some sort of immortality has had, with but few exceptions, a universal adherence.Even modern man, having the know­ ledge of multitudinous contributions of preceding generations concerning immortality, continues to ponder over the problem as much as ever.

The Development Of Dr. Alfred North Whitehead's Philosophy, Frederick Joseph Parker

Master's Theses

Professor Whitehead is a Realist. Realism holds that some or all known objects do not depend on the mind for existence. It ls possible that objects exist without being known. Space and time, energy, matter, plant world, and values may exist independent of a mind. He is not a materialist nor an idealist. Not a materialist for he has thrown away the Newtonian physics nor an idealist for he states that minds are concrete events existing in space and time. There is much of Plato and Aristotle in his philosophy. He has also been greatly influenced by Bertrand Russell, who …

The Early Origins And Experiments Of Fascism : The Hegelian State And The Second Empire, Samuel T. Schroetter

Then Fascism first took political form in the preliminary experiment of Louis Napoleon. For some years after that passed it was merely an infiltrating element in the structure of democracy. But democracy broke …

The Motley Family Of Virginia : Being An Acount Of The Maternal Ancestry Of The Writer J. Motley Booker, J. Motley Booker

Honors Theses

The name Motley is not a common one in America nor here in Virginia, though the progenitor of the line first settled here over two hundred and fifty years ago. A partial reason for this lies in the fact that as far as records reveal, only one of that family emigrated to America. Tradition which has been handed down to us by word of mouth, gives the family a French Huguenot extraction, and the rudimentary researches in that direction have seemed to uphold this tradition in every way.
