J. S. Bach's Use Of Vocal Ornamentation, John A. Melrose
J. S. Bach's Use Of Vocal Ornamentation, John A. Melrose
Graduate Student Research Papers
In view of some misconceptions concerning the reading of these ornamental symbols, a study of how to interpret them accurately seems of value. Stenographic signs of later periods are superficially similar to Baroque ornaments and are frequently used mistakenly in performing music of the Baroque. Bach's embellishments should obviously be treated according to Baroque practice.
The S. P. G. In New England, 1760-1784: A Social Aspect Of The American Revolution, Irving Henry King
The S. P. G. In New England, 1760-1784: A Social Aspect Of The American Revolution, Irving Henry King
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The history of the religious organizations in New England during the American Revolution has been written largely in terms of the experience of the Congregational Church. That is natural, for the part played by the Congregational Church loomed larger there than that of any other denomination, and it was the Congregational organization which took some of the most important steps in initiating the colonial resistance which led to independence. But while the role of the Anglican Church in the crisis was not so significant as that of the Congregational it certainly was not trivial. It constitutes a story that deserves …
Fort St. Joseph Under French Control: 1693-1760, Cornelius Eringaard
Fort St. Joseph Under French Control: 1693-1760, Cornelius Eringaard
Masters Theses
Preface
The purpose of this paper is to trace the history of Fort St. Joseph. In the process, I shall try to show Fort St. Joseph's historical setting in international and regional economics and politics. Regional and international events are included when necessary for this understanding.
Certain difficulties confront the researcher when he undertakes a study of this type. (A language barrier prevents me from reading my French documents which may have contained pertinent information.) Much source material is probably buried in the Paris archives, or in the archives of Quebec, two places I was unable to visit. I have …

An Analysis Of The Thematic Structure Of Chopin's Polonaise-Fantaisie, Opus 61, Thomas Walter Bull
Graduate Student Research Papers
The analysis of the Polonaise-Fantaisie was undertaken to ascertain, insofar as can be done through the analysis of one work, whether or not Frederic Chopin's music is loosely structured and unpolyphonic as some of his critics have maintained.

Puccini's Treatment Of Verismo, Janet M. Ice
Puccini's Treatment Of Verismo, Janet M. Ice
Graduate Student Research Papers
The employment of verismo, or realism, in opera did not begin with Puccini; however, his treatment developed the concept to its fullest. Inasmuch as Puccini was one of the foremost composers of his time, a study of his treatment of verismo seems valuable.
Monteverdi: Characteristics Of His Operatic Style, Mallory C. Mcmanus
Monteverdi: Characteristics Of His Operatic Style, Mallory C. Mcmanus
Graduate Student Research Papers
With this emphasis on textual understanding, opera, as introduced by a group or amateur composers called the Florentine Camerata, was born. These composers wrote in a recitative style for the solo voice. Being amateurs, however, they did not possess the professional musicianship to amplify the textual implications. Therefore, Monteverdi, the trained musician, established many musical innovations still in effect.
An Honors Suppliment To The Curriculum In American History For West Valley High School Juniors, Nell Caroline Paschen
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. Leadership of society must be developed from the excellent minds of students in the schools. This leadership will be nurtured by inducing an insight into human relationships and by giving an understanding of the background of cherished American institutions. 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 …
A Style Analysis: Bach's Brandenburg Concerto, No. 2 In F Major, Charles Raymond Wallgren
A Style Analysis: Bach's Brandenburg Concerto, No. 2 In F Major, Charles Raymond Wallgren
Graduate Student Research Papers
This paper is primarily concerned with one example of Johann Sebastian Bach's instrumental style--the "Brandenburg Concerto No. 2." The style of this work was influenced by the musical resources known to Bach, compositional techniques, and the capabilities of the instruments in the baroque period. The manner in which Bach used these resources and the integrity of what he had to say are evidences of his individual genius.

The American Nonconformist And Kansas Industrial Liberator: A Kansas Union Labor-Populist Newspaper, 1886-1891, Charles Richard Denton
The American Nonconformist And Kansas Industrial Liberator: A Kansas Union Labor-Populist Newspaper, 1886-1891, Charles Richard Denton
Electronic Theses & Dissertations
The impetus for this study grew from another paper completed in April, 1957, entitled, "The Populist Party in Kansas," written for a class in American History. References to a Winfield, Kansas, newspaper, The American Nonconformist and Kansas Industrial Liberator, edited by Henry and Leo Vincent, appeared from time to time during the research. The Republicans in 1888 charged that the newspaper advocated anarchism; in 1890, however, the paper was a leading Populist journal. The charges grew out of a state-wide expose of a secret organization within the Union Labor party which involved the Nonconformist. The Republicans' assertions gained weight with …
Indiana And The Adoption And Ratification Of The Fourteenth Amendment, Ellsworth Shade
Indiana And The Adoption And Ratification Of The Fourteenth Amendment, Ellsworth Shade
Graduate Thesis Collection
In this study I have attempted to present the reaction of a Northern state, Indiana, to the movement for the adoption and ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The significance of such a study results from the position of this amendment as the foundation of the Republican party's programs of national reconstruction and of Indiana as an important state in the movement for ratification. Of necessity, such a presentation involves a careful examination of the background of the two major political parties in Indiana as well as an investigation of the attitude of the …
Le Grand Translateur: The Theory And Practice Of Ezra Pound In Selected Translations, Peter H. Ohlin
Le Grand Translateur: The Theory And Practice Of Ezra Pound In Selected Translations, Peter H. Ohlin
English Language and Literature ETDs
The present study does not pretend to be a definitive study of Pond's translations. It will, however, try to outline the main points about Pound as a translator. It will discuss, first of all, Pound's statements about translating as a craft as well as on his own translations and those of others, and try to define--if only tentatively--Pound's major principles of translations. It will discuss specifically some of Pound's translations, chosen not always because they are the most representative, but because the present writer is able to examine them. This part will include translations from the German, from the Anglo-Saxon, …
Charles Godfrey Leland: The American Years, 1824-1869, Ralph Carlisle Smith
Charles Godfrey Leland: The American Years, 1824-1869, Ralph Carlisle Smith
American Studies ETDs
In view of the frequent reliance on Leland's books and articles, I have, on the suggestion of my graduate committee, attempted in this dissertation to evaluate Leland and his writings in order to establish some basis for the accuracy of his statements and the general reliability of Leland as a witness. I have also presented many of his views expressed in books and papers not readily available to or often considered by other students of his times. Though the initial approach to this study of Leland was made objectively or, if subjectively, only sympathetically prejudicial, I must admit that with …
The Problem Of Factions Versus Essential Unity In The Church Of Corinth: A Study Of Causative Factors And Paul's Answer To The Problem, Fred H. Luthy
The Problem Of Factions Versus Essential Unity In The Church Of Corinth: A Study Of Causative Factors And Paul's Answer To The Problem, Fred H. Luthy
Graduate Thesis Collection
I have long been interested in Paul's writings, his various doctrinal viewpoints, and the manner in which he dealt with problems as they developed during his ministry. Certainly, the Corinthian Churoh had its problems, and they were eerious problems. Not the least of these was the matter of a faotious spirit whioh seemed to prevail among the members and whioh was keeping the oongregation from full effectiveness in its witness and work for Jesus Christ. What were the background oonditions out of whioh this Corinthian Churoh oame forth? What types of people comprised this congregation? How and why did these …

The Twentieth Century Ku Klux Klan In Morehouse Parish, Louisiana., Alton Earl Ingram
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The twentieth century Ku Klux Klan in Morehouse Parish, Louisiana, was part of a movement in the United States which became widespread during the third decade of this century. In 1921 and 1922, the years of the establishment and growth of the Morehouse Klan, there occurred in that parish a wave of violence and intimidation attributed to the Klan. On August 24, 1922, five citizens of the parish were kidnapped by a mob of BIack-robed men, One of the victims was released unharmed, two were released after being severely beaten, and two were murdered and their bodies concealed for approximately …
Milton And Socinianism, Joseph Johnson Collins
Milton And Socinianism, Joseph Johnson Collins
Master's Theses
The seventeenth century was a period of enormous scholarship and erudition. In the wake of the Reformation and the Humanist movements great interest was awakened in the field of Biblical scholarship, Many of the scholars, lay men, and divines began to devote much of their time and energy to the new Biblical exegesis. The doctrine which was receiving much attention during this period suggested that one might assure that the strongholds of the reformed religion were sufficiently fortified through improved translation and qualified Biblical exegesis.
This was the era which produced John Milton 's method ical and learned tractate of …
An Investigation Of Dramatic Arts Programs And Attitudes In Sixteen Counties Of Southwestern Michigan, Philip F. Faustman
An Investigation Of Dramatic Arts Programs And Attitudes In Sixteen Counties Of Southwestern Michigan, Philip F. Faustman
Masters Theses
Chapter I
Definition of the Problem
Problem:
For many years there has been need for a better understanding of the dramatic arts activity in our Michigan schools. Teachers are selected, and sometimes paid, to direct school plays. In a few instances, particularly in the larger schools, these teachers attempt to develop a well-rounded dramatics program.
But what, of a concrete nature, is known about dramatic arts activity in our schools? What is being done? Where does a teacher assigned to direct a school play, or to develop a dramatics program within a single school system, stand in relation to teachers …
The First British Labor Government 1924, Donald Black
The First British Labor Government 1924, Donald Black
Masters Theses
Introduction
In 1924, the Labor Part, assumed control or Britain's political destinies for the first time. Although its tenure or office was brief, from February through October of that year, it marked an important milestone in the slow, unrelenting progress of democratic socialism in the British political spectrum after the conclusion of World War I. Not only did it reveal that Labor could assume its role as an effective opposition Party, but also that Labor had the capacity to govern in a difficult and perplexing era.

A Critical Study Of John Milton's On The Morning Of Christ's Nativity, Daniel Patterson
A Critical Study Of John Milton's On The Morning Of Christ's Nativity, Daniel Patterson
English Language and Literature ETDs
One can hardly avoid, in writing a critical study of John Milton's On the Morning of Christ's Nativity, the sense of having been preceded by a sizable vanguard of scholars. Upon Virtually every tree there is a blaze, in nearly every trail a footprint. But without the successes, failures, guesses and assertions of those who have gone before him, the aspiring critic of so complex a poem might return without ever having sighted his quarry. Criticism of Milton's Hymn has not been remarkable for any deviation from the common patterns of literary scholarships during the past centuries. In fact, …
Statehood For New Mexico, 1888-1912, Robert W. Larson
Statehood For New Mexico, 1888-1912, Robert W. Larson
History ETDs
Because of her long history, far more tumultuous and varied than that of the other territories; and her culture, so different from all the rest of the United States, New Mexico was the most intriguing and challenging of the western territories. Modern American history has paralleled this unique past by showing that New Mexico, along with her sister territory Arizona, fought the longest and most complex battle for statehood. In the 1880's New Mexico was one of the many territories in the western domain in the United States. In fact, statehood in the west was the exception rather than the …

The Basis For Distinguising Moral Law From Ceremonial And Political Law In The Old Testament, George Loose
The Basis For Distinguising Moral Law From Ceremonial And Political Law In The Old Testament, George Loose
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The purpose of this study is to attempt to find an answer to the question, and in doing so, to examine the bases which have been used in the Lutheran Church. Some attention will be given to the attitude toward the laws in Old Testament times, but this is just for the sake of background. It would provide material for another study. Some attention will be given also to the position of other Christian churches, but again only to clarify the position of the Lutheran Church.
