Ranching In Western North Dakota, 1887-1920, Scott R. Neevel
Ranching In Western North Dakota, 1887-1920, Scott R. Neevel
Theses and Dissertations
Several historians have dealt with the topic of ranching in the American West, but generally they have presented a broad overview of what took place over the entire western United States. Those who have dealt with ranching in western North Dakota generally have covered the early 1880s, but they have used the calamitous winter of 1886-1887 as a stopping point.
The period from 1887 on through the first two decades of the twentieth century was an era marked by recovery of the stock industry, the change from open to closed range, and the change from the old open range methods …
Jehan Alain: Selected Organ Works, Mark Weston Unkenholz
Jehan Alain: Selected Organ Works, Mark Weston Unkenholz
Theses and Dissertations
This project is a study of selected organ pieces (from the 24 published) of French composer Jehan Alain (1911-1940). Although a catalogue of works of Alain lists 93 titles, the works for organ represent the composer's major field of concentration during the last six years of his life. Alain, who died during World War II at the age of 29, made a significant contribution to the twentieth-century organ repertory despite his short lifetime.
The procedure of study was, first, to examine existing secondary sources--a biography by Bernard Gavoty, and an article on the performance of Alain's organ music by the …
Fort Berthold Indian Reservation: A Land Use Study To 1971, Paul Felter
Fort Berthold Indian Reservation: A Land Use Study To 1971, Paul Felter
Theses and Dissertations
Can the land resources of a contemporary Indian reservation provide the basis for a self~sufficient community? To help answer that question, this study traces the agricultural development as well as other land use programs and problems of the Three Tribes of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in North Dakota.
The procedure involved a detailed study of the impact of Bureau of Indian Affairs-inspired agricultural projects, treaties and land cession agreements, land allotment programs, land fractionalization, and the building of the Garrison Dam. The results obtained show that the semi-agricultural Three Tribes passed from self-sufficiency before their reservation was established into …
A Guide For The Teaching Of Vocal Technique In The High School Chorus, David A. Quam
A Guide For The Teaching Of Vocal Technique In The High School Chorus, David A. Quam
Theses and Dissertations
In general, high school choruses do not reach their potential as far as choral tone is concerned. The tone is generally characterized by either a completely undisciplined and labored sound or a pseudo "mature" sound imposed upon the students by a director seeking to emulate his college choir.
When high school choruses sing freely and naturally, they do so because they are taught and inspired to do so by their director. Therefore, the director must understand the concepts of correct singing and must have in his possession practical techniques that will develop a program of correct singing in the high …
A Study Of Mignon's Lied In Selected Settings, Robert E. Norton
A Study Of Mignon's Lied In Selected Settings, Robert E. Norton
Theses and Dissertations
The focus of this study is the various treatments given by composers to a twelve line poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The text is the common factor over which the differences of approach and treatment are laid by composers in compositions which range in time of initial publication from 1796 to 1888. The condition of the Lied immediately prior to the publication of the first of the settings is taken as the starting point, since all of the chosen settings may be classified as Lieder. The composers whose works are discussed are Karl F. Zelter, Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz …
Ornamentation Of Italian Vocal Music Of The Eighteenth Century According To Pietro Francesco Tosi And Giovanni Battista Mancini, Beverly Ann Brandon
Ornamentation Of Italian Vocal Music Of The Eighteenth Century According To Pietro Francesco Tosi And Giovanni Battista Mancini, Beverly Ann Brandon
Theses and Dissertations
The acclaim and recognition attributed to the musical performers of the eighteenth century are reflected in the title Bel Canto ascribed to this period. The contemporary musical scene reveals performances attempting to perpetuate the virtuosity of the performers of this period and to recapture their style. Unfortunately, the aura of legend and mystery surrounding the performance of music of this period frequently leads to confusion and frustration of both teacher and performer rather than to understanding. This study addresses itself to that problem.
Tosi and Mancini were active participants in this period and their theory, technique of performance, and pedagogical …
Populist Thought In North And South Dakota, 1890-1900, Brian J. Weed
Populist Thought In North And South Dakota, 1890-1900, Brian J. Weed
Theses and Dissertations
Despite the number of general and specific studies of Populism, there is no unanimity of opinion on the progressive or retrogressive nature of Populist thought, nor on its specific characteristics. By examining the specific attributes of Populism through newspapers, manuscripts, and public documents, this case study focuses on the progressive or retrogressive nature of North and South Dakota Populist thought.
On the whole, North Dakota Populism fails to reveal a progressive nature. First, the North Dakota Populists lacked a viable movement. Secondly, their thought and political endeavors suggest opportunism rather than progressivism. Thirdly, the common ground of their thought discloses …
The Nonpartisan League : A Quest Of Community, Leonard Wentz
The Nonpartisan League : A Quest Of Community, Leonard Wentz
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this thesis is the examination and appraisal of the rise and decline of the Nonpartisan League as a mass movement in North Dakota. Previous interpretations have been mostly economic in nature. This study interprets the League members I situation from the socio-psychological view. This thesis will attempt to show the editorial directions of leading newspapers with regard to the agrarian situation from 1916 to 1920.
The procedure involved a study of the sociological conditions of the North Dakota farmers before they accepted the Nonpartisan League ideology. The Nonpartisan Leader's editorial policy was viewed to show its interpretation …

The 1966 Republican Campaign In North Dakota, Joseph Charles Crawford
Theses and Dissertations
The 1966 Republican Campaign in North Dakota discusses the efforts of the Party from May, 1965 through November, 1966.

History Of Fort Pembina 1870-1895, William D. Thomson
History Of Fort Pembina 1870-1895, William D. Thomson
Theses and Dissertations
The unsettled status of the Red River Valley during the 1860's made inevitable the establishment of a military post near the 49th Parallel. The Minnesota Uprising in 1862 caused a band of Sioux Indians, responsible for the massacre, to flee to Canada to escape punishment by the military. In 1863, a hastily organized battalion established a temporary fort at Pembina to capture the renegades. After accomplishing its mission, the battalion abandoned the post in 1864.
With the end of the Civil War, people looked to the frontier for fertile lands to settle; but the Indian threat kept them out …
A Chemist In The Senate: Edwin Fremont Ladd, 1921-1925, Alfred C. Melby
A Chemist In The Senate: Edwin Fremont Ladd, 1921-1925, Alfred C. Melby
Theses and Dissertations
Edwin Fremont Ladd, a native of :Maine, migrated to North Dakota in 1890 to join the chemistry faculty of the Agricultural College. In the following three decades, his work in the pure-food crusade and in the fight for fair grain grading and reasonable rail rates earned him a reputation for personal courage and devotion to agriculture. His reputation led the Nonpartisan League to endorse him for the United States Senate in 1920. Following his victory over Senator Asle J. Gronna in the Republican primary, Ladd defeated his Democratic opponent in the general election.
From his entry into the Senate in …
The 1944 Senatorial Election: The Defeat Of Gerald P. Nye, Daniel F. Rylance
The 1944 Senatorial Election: The Defeat Of Gerald P. Nye, Daniel F. Rylance
Theses and Dissertations
The problem involved in this thesis is to investigate the causes for Senator Nye's defeat in the 1944 Senatorial election. The particular problem involved here is that isolationism has been commonly interpreted as the decisive reason for his defeat. This, however, is a singular interpretation of history largely stemming from the national scene while ignoring developments on the local level.
The procedure then was to investigate the opinion of Senator Nye from the state level. This included research in personalities and public episodes concurrent with Nye's year in the Senate. It also included a careful analysis of the North Dakota …

The Election Of 1912 And The Progressive Party In North Dakota, Richard M. Norman
The Election Of 1912 And The Progressive Party In North Dakota, Richard M. Norman
Theses and Dissertations
The election of 1912 was one of the most colorful of all the elections held in America. This contest was more than just an election to elect a President of the United States; it was a struggle between certain elements -- progressive and conservative -- within the political parties themselves. While appreciating the nationwide contest between the parties, I have attempted to show how the national political picture influenced the political life in North Dakota. I chose this subject because I wished to find now the National Progressive Party, established by Theodore Roosevelt, affected North Dakota, the Rough Rider's adopted …
The Role Of Winston Churchill In The First World War, Olaf Ottesen Brandt
The Role Of Winston Churchill In The First World War, Olaf Ottesen Brandt
Theses and Dissertations
In writing this thesis I have emphasized the qualities of vigor, ability and foresight that Churchill showed to such a statesmanlike degree in the last war, also the special technical training in ships, tanks, planes and their use that he gained. I have endeavored to point out in what ways these have qualified him for his role as Prime Minister of England in the present war. I have brought out his connections with American life through his family, his books and lectures, and his work as munitions minister. I have tried to show that this has affected American public opinion …
