Butler University
The Last Ice Cube, Robert Courtney
Manuscripts
In the very darkest corner, behind the davenport, there sat a little ice cube. Tears were dripping slowly, monotonously, hopelessly from its block-shaped face. The eerie moonlight peeped around the deserted room and revealed the most pitiful expression one could ever witness en the face of an ice cube. And the reason? The little ice cube was dying. Some careless reveler had flipped it out of a glass in one horrifying fling, and there it lay, in a state of inertia, awaiting the hideous death of an ice cube. Slowly, atom by atom, it was disappearing.
After Many A Summer Dies The Swan,

Butler University
After Many A Summer Dies The Swan, J. E. Minnis
Manuscripts
For a brilliant satire on humanity, I can think of no better author to turn to than Aldous Huxley. His rhetoric is flawless, his characters unbelievably typical, and his satire tinged with just the right amount of reality to render it plausible. Born in England, Mr. Huxley has no more mercy on his own countrymen than he has on those of other nationalities. His satire is universal and completely nonpartisan.
William,
2015
Butler University
William, Nancy Hendricks
Manuscripts
The gravel roads were just beginning to thaw on that early spring day, and each step we took splashed mud at my boots. Some early robins and some perennial sparrows were doing aerial acrobatics in celebration of the new season. William's eyes, however, were not following the birds' gyrations; nor were mine. While he was staring thoughtfully at the road, I was watching the attitude of his ears--watching because his ears are often indicative of his thoughts. At the time, as though he were mildly tolerant of the situation, they were in a reassuringly lax position, neither upright nor flat, …

Arthur Guy Funkhouser, Portrait Of A Doctor, Dave Berry
Manuscripts
The wind blew across the glazed surface of the frozen lake, intent upon entering a small cabin on the northern shore. After circling through the trees, glistening from the clean, white snow, the howling messenger of Aeolus descended, sending a wintry blast of air through a slightly opened window.

Justice, Patrick J. Mahoney Iii
Manuscripts
Two sharp knocks. Then the sound of hard heels retreating rapidly away from the solid oak paneled door. Expectancy. Rising from the high-backed chair, Colt in hand, he walked slowly across the pitch black room to the door. Silence.

The Berlin Currency Controversy,

Butler University
The Berlin Currency Controversy, Earl Murphy
Manuscripts
At present what is dubbed "The Cold War" has reached a particularly frigid state in the former German capital city of Berlin. Few know just what the immediate cause of the Berlin Blockade really is, and fewer still would understand it if they did, for it lies not in the realm of political ideologies but rather in the realm of economics. It is a dispute over the currency of which occupying power shall circulate in the Western sectors of that city.

The Radio "Give Away" Program, Joseph A. O'Nan
Manuscripts
Radio "give away" programs are those productions which offer some type of reward to a participant for his efforts on the program. This person mayor may not be present at the actual broadcast. This type of program is of recent origin, but it is rapidly becoming one of the more outstanding forms of radio entertainment.
An Interpretation Of The Musical Themes In Thomas Mann's Magic Mountain,

Butler University
An Interpretation Of The Musical Themes In Thomas Mann's Magic Mountain, George Coffin
Manuscripts
In a symphonic literary work such as Thomas Mann's Magic Mountain, the individual themes which interweave to produce the complex counterpoint of the whole unit can hardly be sufficiently treated in one essay. To avoid such confusion we shall, then, consider only the musical themes and references as they parallel the personality development of Hans Castorp. Through this chronological presentation of references we may observe the evolution of character in musical symbols carefully chosen to express the first simplicity and final complexity of the novel's central character.
A Comparison Of Milton's Treatment Of Death In "Death Of A Fair Infant" And "Marchioness Of Winchester",
2015
Butler University
A Comparison Of Milton's Treatment Of Death In "Death Of A Fair Infant" And "Marchioness Of Winchester", Barbara Sims
Manuscripts
It is a tribute to Milton's genius to study his delicate line of demarcation between the treatment of death in "Marchioness of Winchester" and "Death of a Fair Infant." In the latter poem, Mi.lton imbues his work with a tone of comfort and hope-a tone which we do not find in the former poem. Of course, we must keep in mind the fact that in "Death of a Fair Infant," Milton was emotionally connected with the deceased, and would naturally inject his lines with a note of personal grief and sympathy for the bereaved. Upon contemplating Milton's lines, the reader …
Avenge, O Lord,
2015
Butler University
Avenge, O Lord, Tom Misch
Manuscripts
When Milton wrote his great sonnet, "On the Late Massacre in Piedmont," he had just been engaged in one of the most bitter Controversies in his life. In an anonymous pamphlet he had been attacked as a "monster, ugly, huge, bereft of sight," and he answered these charges in even more violent language. After this bitterness had passed, Milton brought forth the eloquent eighteenth sonnet, believed by many critics to be his greatest.
