Frontier Consuls: Americans In British Columbia And The Yukon, 1880-1906, Clyde William Tucker Jan 1973

Frontier Consuls: Americans In British Columbia And The Yukon, 1880-1906, Clyde William Tucker

All Master's Theses

Many of the important questions whose resolution shaped twentieth century Canadian-American relations developed out of real or imagined conflicts of interest in the Pacific region during the latter part of the ninteenth century. The United States had no diplomatic representation in Canada, but consuls in British Columbia and the Yukon kept the Department of State well informed of developments which affected American interests. With emphasis on the period between 1880 and 1906, this paper describes the roles played by the consuls in the definition of problems that arose from disputes over boundaries, resource use, smuggling and extradition.

Four Years For A Fair: Issues, Actions And Activities Coincident And Connected To The Organization & Development Of The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition 1905-1909, Eric Paul Anderson Jan 1972

Four Years For A Fair: Issues, Actions And Activities Coincident And Connected To The Organization & Development Of The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition 1905-1909, Eric Paul Anderson

Undergraduate Honors Theses

Since the original American exposition, held in Philadelphia in 1876 commemorating the union's first centennial, a series of great fairs had been staged in the major cities of the country. Chicago and St. Louis were the leaders in size and success. Portland's Lewis and Clark Exposition of 1904 was financially successful if only regional in appeal and served as an inspiration and standard of comparison for the effort Seattle would make. The immediate predecessor to the Seattle fair--held at Jamestown, Virginia in 1907 as a tri-centennial celebration of that city's founding--was to have a great impact in the organization of …

A History Of The Events Leading To The Establishment Of The First State Normal School In America, Harold E. Ring Jan 1970

A History Of The Events Leading To The Establishment Of The First State Normal School In America, Harold E. Ring

All Master's Theses

During the decades of the 1820's and 1830's, educators in this country studied the European schools where the principles of Johann H. Pestalozzi (1746-1827), Friedrick Froebel (1782-1852), and Emanuel Fellenberg (1771-1844) had been put into practice with favorable results. The Prussian normal schools established by Frederick the Great were some of the best in the world. American educators came back with glowing reports of the progress Europeans were making in this direction. By 1838, due to the efforts of James Carter (1795-1849) and Horace Mann (179 6-1859), and because of the generosity of a Boston merchant, the Massachusetts legislature was …

Dick Gregory, John Johnson Jan 1969

Dick Gregory, John Johnson

Undergraduate Honors Theses

The leaders of the Black movement in the United States generally seem to be skilled rhetoricians. These leaders seem to emulate the same oharaoteristics in the use of rhetoric as did the statesmen who engineered the American Revolution. One notable exception seems to be a young Black named Dick Gregory. He seems to have found a means of persuasion that is far removed from his colleagues. His weapon is wit, and combined with dedication and honesty it helps make his rhetoric one of the most persuasive and unusual of the Black spokesmen.

An Honors Suppliment To The Curriculum In American History For West Valley High School Juniors, Nell Caroline Paschen

Graduate Student Research Papers

In a search for ways of perpetuating essential values in a free society, citizens and educators have come to realize that their greatest resource lies in the talents of young people.

This work is based on the conviction that teachers of social studies are conscious of an obligation to fill the needs of gifted students for enrichment in breadth of subject …

Boom Days In Ellensburg, 1888-1891, Samuel R. Mohler Oct 1945

Boom Days In Ellensburg, 1888-1891, Samuel R. Mohler

History Faculty Scholarship

When the Federal Census was taken in 1940, the population of Ellensburg, Washington, numbered 5,944. Several hundred have been added since, but there has been no wartime boom. As the home of Central Washington College of Education, the seat of government of Kittitas County, and the trading center for a prosperous agricultural and stock-raising community, it is (except perhaps during the annual Rodeo) a quiet town of steady habits with a particularly stable economy. It is doubtful if any of its present inhabitants expect it to become a great metropolis, and perhaps few would desire it to be. Yet Ellensburg …
