Europe's Contribution To American Civilization, Alfred Zehnder

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

You have invited me to speak about Switzerland's contribution to American civilization. This is quite a task. I don't intend to give you today a complete study on this subject. You will see later why. Switzerland is not only a small country in the heart of Europe, but it is Europe. And Europe is Switzerland. It is impossible to determine exactly what part in the Swiss contribution is genuine Swiss, and what part is European. That is why I would like to invite you to try with me to discover the great ideas and the fact s which ought to …

Two 19th Century Swiss Immigrants Speak Out: Book Review, Heinz K. Meier

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

In the course of the nineteenth century several hundred thousand Swiss immigrated to the United States. We know relatively little about why they left Switzerland, where they came from, what they experienced in the New World, and how many returned. General works dealing with the subject in any depth do not exist. One possible explanation for this gap in historical knowledge may be due to the fact that emigration from Switzerland has always been a highly individualized process. The number of attempted group colonizations is very small, and successful ventures of this kind were even scarcer. Yet it is very …

To Our Readers, Ag. M.

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

This first SAHS-Newsletter does not want to set a definite pattern for future issues. Its authors, SAHS-President Dr. Heinz K. Meier, SAHS-Secretary Dr. Augustin Maissen and Cultural Counselor Dr. Lukas F. Burckhardt, have given an account on those subjects with which they are familiar. Others had to be left out for this time, but will be treated later on. Several problems have been merely touched upon and need further study. We only wanted to open the path to wider horizons. Suggestions and contributions from our readers are welcome. They may be addressed to the SAHS-Secretary, Prof . Augustin Maissen, Utica …

The Swiss In The History Of Maryland, Lukas Burckhardt

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

The role of the Swiss element in the history of Maryland has been thoroughly studied by a group of American scholars connected with the "Society for the History of the Germans in Maryland", founded in 1886 and looking back on an uninterrupted tradition undisturbed by the political vicissitudes in Europe in our century. As a matter of fact, this Society is an entirely American institution consisting mostly of Baltimorians whose ancestors came to Maryland from a German speaking region during the last few hundred years. From this viewpoint history has a familiar look to a Swiss because we find here …

The American Writer Herbert Kubly From New Glarus On His Ancestral Home In Switzerland, Lukas F. Burckhardt

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

New Glarus, Wisconsin, is a prosperous small town founded in 1845 by a well organized group of poor immigrants from the Canton of Glarus, Switzerland, who had lost their jobs in their home country as victims of mechanization in the local textile industry. In the new country they were able to work their way up, but deep in their hearts they always kept the memory of their roots in the Swiss Alps.

Hydrogenation Of 4-Methylcinnoline, William E. Maycock

Theses and Dissertations

The rapid expansion of knowledge of cinnoline chemistry since 1941 has not included the hydrocinnolines. Not one catalytic hydrogenation of a fully aromatic cinnoline had been reported. This thesis is an effort to enlarge knowledge of this particular area of cinnoline chemistry. The work is a natural outgrowth of that done at Brigham Young University on decahydroquinoxaline, both the cis- and trans- isomers having been prepared and characterized. 4-Methylcinnoline, prepared by the method of Jacobs, et.al., was hydrogenated in neutral and acidic ethanolic solutions at 2000-3000 psig. hydrogen pressure and 100-266°. The catalysts used were 5% palladium on alumina, ruthenium …

Tenebrionidae Beetles Of The Nevada Test Site, Vasco M. Tanner, Willis A. Packham

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

The intent of this study conducted over a period of three years was to ( 1 ) provide descriptions of the species of tenebrionids found at the Nevada Test Site, (2) determine their relative abundance, (3) determine their seasonal activity, and (4) ascertain their plant community relationships.

A total of 14,650 beetles representing 46 kinds of tenebrionids was collected with sunken can traps, by hand, and ultra-violet light. Collections were made at regular intervals in the following plant communities: Larrea-Franseria, Lycium, Atriplex-Kochia, Grayia-Lycium (disturbed and undisturbed areas), Salsola, Coleogyne, Pinyon-Juniper, and Mixed.

The data obtained from this study indicate that …
