Letters From 1915 To The End Of The War, Othmar Ammann, Lilly Ammann
Letters From 1915 To The End Of The War, Othmar Ammann, Lilly Ammann
Swiss American Historical Society Review
My dear parents,
Tomorrow the last steamship that can bring you our Christmas greetings is leaving, so that means: hurry. Just a few words, but from the heart.
One is carried along here in the non-ending stream of business so much that one can hardly catch one's breath in order to appreciate the ideal side of life. However, with the approach of the holidays, spirits are lifted. With great excitement and wonderment, young and old await the festive days. What will Christmas bring, how will the New Year begin? This is what each one is asking himself and with thousands …

Othmar H. Ammann's Return To Switzerland, Othmar Ammann, Lilly Ammann
Swiss American Historical Society Review
Two beautiful and quiet days have already passed since we parted. The sea is so quiet and the sky so peacefully clear as to make one forget all dangers and sorrows. Besides, the pure air is so invigorating that I feel already much better and stronger than in New York, I am looking with confidence and pleasure to the future. I feel that my body and brain need a complete restoration and I will be the more vigorous and able to work afterwards. And how · about you? I still ·see the last looks from your dear eyes and the …

Swiss American Historical Society Review
Finally I get to write you a few lines from duty. As Papa probably has already informed you, I went from Basel to Monthal, where I met Mama and Werner, as well as Rosa and Manja Labhart from Moscow. Werner was very happy. He is thin but looks strong and healthy. He did not want to answer my question of whether he would like to come back to America with me after the war. But I am decided about bringing him back with me. On the same evening I also visited Onkel Hermann and David in Zurich. I also met …

Dear L.
Just returned from the snow-covered mountain heights of the St. Gotthard on a long ski ride. Am spending a few hours in this beautiful place, which, however, is at present quite desolate. The lake, the Pilatus look wonderful. If nothing intervenes I shall be home in 4 weeks. Shall go to Basel tonight and later to Kilchberg for a few days.

"We're Here Because You Were There": Britain's Black Population, Louis Kushnick
"We're Here Because You Were There": Britain's Black Population, Louis Kushnick
Trotter Review
The existence of a black population in Britain is the result of Britain’s imperialist history. The conquest of large parts of the world and their incorporation into a new world system dominated by Britain and other European nations not only created the economic basis of the capitalist system, but also set in motion massive movements of—and, indeed, constructions of—peoples. The creation of the African-American and African-Caribbean peoples are examples of this phenomenon: “We’re here because you were there.”
The Elite And Popular Foundations Of German Catholicism In The Age Of Confessionalism: The Reichskirche., Marc R. Forster
The Elite And Popular Foundations Of German Catholicism In The Age Of Confessionalism: The Reichskirche., Marc R. Forster
History Faculty Publications
The political, institutional, and religious particularism of the German church reinforced the loyalty of the population, to local religious traditions. This gave German Catholicism a local emphasis and hindered the imposition of reformed Catholicism, which sought to homogenize, centralize, and internationalize the church. While early modern German Catholicism was certainly conservative, it was not rigidly traditional. Religious change occurred in these centuries and it came out of the interaction between the local population, local institutions like the chapters and monasteries, the parish clergy, and reforming churchmen.[70] The role of chapters and monasteries was not insignificant in this process.

Contracts In Conflict: Perestroika And The Decline Of Soviet Legitimacy, Karl Glenn Hokenmaier
Contracts In Conflict: Perestroika And The Decline Of Soviet Legitimacy, Karl Glenn Hokenmaier
Masters Theses
Gorbachev's perception of the Soviet Union's socio-economic crisis and his subsequent actions to correct the economy and reform the political system were linked with attempts to renegotiate the social contract between the state and the Soviet people. However, reformulation of the social contract was incompatible with the conditions of a second arrangement between the leadership and the nomenklatura--the Soviet ruling class. The failure of Gorbachev's reforms and the decline of Soviet legitimacy were linked to the irreconcilability of the nomenklatura's "political contract" and the social contract.
The construct of the social contract was utilized to represent the Soviet state-society relationship …
William Morris And The Society For The Protection Of Ancient Buildings: Historic Preservation In Victorian Great Britain, Andrea Elizabeth Harger
William Morris And The Society For The Protection Of Ancient Buildings: Historic Preservation In Victorian Great Britain, Andrea Elizabeth Harger
Masters Theses
This research examines the philosophy of William Morris, how this influenced his founding of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (S.P.A.B.) in 1877, and how this Society functioned in Victorian Great Britain. Two case studies, specifying the S.P.A.B.'s involvement with Westminster Abbey and Edinburgh Castle, are highlighted to detail how the Society operated in secular and ecclesiastical situations. The research concludes with an appraisal of the S.P.A.B. in the twentieth century.
This research emphasizes primary source materials, such as letters and annual reports, from the S.P.A.B archive in London. These materials demonstrate how the S.P.A.B. met their goals …

Johann Gerhard Oncken's Long Road To Toleration, Wayne A. Detzler
History Faculty Publications
Although German theology often has given creative impulses to American religious life, in the establishment of the German Baptist association that flow was reversed. The point of entry through whom Baptist principles gained access to modern Europe was Johann Gerhard Oncken.

Glimpses From An Industrial Electrician's Lifetime, Ernest Thurkauf
Glimpses From An Industrial Electrician's Lifetime, Ernest Thurkauf
Swiss American Historical Society Review
My life's main line of work has been as an industrial maintenance electrician, though in early years I tried my hand as blacksmith's helper, arc and acetylene welder, coal mine laborer, lumber jack, farm hand, fruit picker, and other miscellaneous work. But it was as a trained electrician that I got my greatest joy in working especially in training men in my line of work. In my old years now, I have given much thought to what have been some very challenging jobs I had encountered as I struggled onward in this best of all possible. worlds, and these are· …
Agent Of Absolutism: Printing And Politics In Early Modern Europe, Donna Amelia Vinson
Agent Of Absolutism: Printing And Politics In Early Modern Europe, Donna Amelia Vinson
Bridgewater Review
The fifteenth century marked the commencement of two trends which signaled the end of the medieval era and the dawn of modernity: the emergence of centralized monarchies and the introduction of print culture. Both trends were gradual and in their infancy in the fifteenth century, but their successive paths of development were closely intertwined. Throughout the early modern era, monarchs with aspirations of imposing an absolute and uncontested authority on their often recalcitrant subjects utilized the “new art” (ars nova) of printing to realize their aims. Select printers became agents of absolutism, and the craft developed at the …

Valaisans All, Gordon Chapman

Like seeds blown on winds of change.
These trees are evidence,
People, ideas, some piece of the ancient soul
Of this place, this valley, this passageway
Prefatory Note, Jane Adèle Roberts Chapman
Prefatory Note, Jane Adèle Roberts Chapman
Swiss American Historical Society Review
The theme of this issue of the Review is the 19th Century SAHS emigration from Canton Valais of Switzerland to the United States. All the materials in the issue were written by Valaisans or by American descendants of Valaisan immigrants. My own article, "Nineteenth Century Swiss Valaisan Immigration to the United States," developed from · a desire to understand the experience of my great-great grandparents who left the canton in 1854. Their final destination, according to the ship's manifest, was Mishicot, Wisconsin.
