The Jeffersons In America : A Study Of The Economic, Social, And Political Background Of Thomas Jefferson's Ancestors, Henry Snellings Jr.
Honors Theses
Why is it that some men are born and live and die, yet we never hear of them, or even know they exist; and on the other hand, one man, by merely the statement of an idea make his name immortal, and his actions unite a nation behind him and set an example for the world? Most men's graves are neglected and bare, save for the attentions of their loved ones and friends; others become a shrine reverently visited by a whole people.
Thomas Jefferson Randolph, Democratic Leader, Jerome A. Hurwitz
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.

The Emigration Of The French Huguenots To Virginia, Samuel W. Laughon
The Emigration Of The French Huguenots To Virginia, Samuel W. Laughon
Honors Theses
The Huguenots, though they were not known by this nomenclature until later, had their origin in France about the middle of the sixteenth century, nearly 400 years ago. As pioneers in the field of absoute libery, the Huguenots probably rendered their greatest sergvice to the world. From the beginning, their slogan has ever been: "An open Bible, freedom of conscience, political and religious liberty."
Greek And Roman Child Life As Represented In Some Greek And Latin Authors, Anne Louise Sanford
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.
Economic And Social Implications Of The Southern Literary Messenger 1834-1864, James E. King
Economic And Social Implications Of The Southern Literary Messenger 1834-1864, James E. King
Honors Theses
From 1774 to 1824 Virginia played the most conspicuous role in creating and directing a union of democratic states. In 1861 there is the anomaly of the Old Dominion occupying the stellar position in an attempt to disrupt the confederation which was her hands-work. No amount of explanation as to economic interests, slavery, abolitionism or frustration seems in the last analysis, adequate in understanding this great transition. When reasonable arguments are exhausted and there is yet no central solution to the problem, there remains only the catholic element of change as a conclusion.
Reconstruction In Richmond City Government, Philip Turner King
Reconstruction In Richmond City Government, Philip Turner King
Honors Theses
By 1870 the "corner" had been rounded. The end of reconstruction was in full view and was momentarily expected. Still, the hope for the reestablishment of Virginia's former status was based entirely upon rumor. It was a period when people held their breaths. Readmission was being fought bitterly in the congress. To Sumner the election in Virginia had been just one big fraud and the state was still "smoking with rebellion.
