Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

It is the purpose of this study to examine the early state-chartered banks of Kentucky: their creation, career and dissolution.

The Reign Of Terror Was A Natural Consequence Of Preceding Incidents, Octave Peter Smith

However, the term in its broadest sense might be so construed, but it is our purpose to study the mental conditions that has to do with minds in a state of "excited change"- "mental upheaval"- "abrupt development"- such as the Mexican Revolution, French Revolution, the Russian Revolution and the revolutions which may have all the mental aspects of a major revolution even though it may not succeed in its purpose.

Tennessee During Secession & Reconstruction, Edward Taylor
