Provincial Politics In The French Revolution: Caen And Limoges, 1789-1794, Paul R, Hanson
Provincial Politics In The French Revolution: Caen And Limoges, 1789-1794, Paul R, Hanson
Butler University Books
This book is first and foremost a study of revolutionary politics, of what molded and determined those politics at the local level. More than simply to compare the local politics of two towns, however, my goal has been to establish the links between local and national political actors, between local and national political issues. Although the nature of local politics tells us a great deal about national political divisions, we need to consider social and economic factors to understand why local politics took the shape they did. Indeed, since I consider those factors to be primary, the manuscript begins and …
Hindu-Christian Dialogue: A Review, Harold Coward
Hindu-Christian Dialogue: A Review, Harold Coward
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
Hindu-Christian dialogue has had a long and checkered history. Up until the beginning of this century most of the Hindu-Christian interaction took place in India. The first half of this century saw the expansion of Hindu-Christian discussion to Europe and North America. World-wile pluralism in the decades since the Fifties has resulted in a gradual intensification of this interaction at both the lay and scholarly levels. But aside from sporadic events, there has been no broad and sustained Hindu-Christian dialogue.
William Walker In Nicaragua: A Critical Review In Light Of Dependency Literature, Patrick N. Sweeney
William Walker In Nicaragua: A Critical Review In Light Of Dependency Literature, Patrick N. Sweeney
Graduate Thesis Collection
William Walker's expedition should be a fertile source of examples of such incipient dependency. This is because that expedition was grounded in the political desires of Manifest Destiny and the pragmatic economics of a cross-isthmus connection between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans during the crucial years just before the U.S. Civil war. Walker's actions caused a war in Central America, brought the United States and England to the brink of war, effected a significant economic relationship, and influenced diplomatic relations between Nicaragua and the U.S. for years afterward. Because of these various actions and reactions, this episode in inter-American relations …

The Ku Klux Klan In Indiana In The 1920'S As Viewed By The Indiana Catholic And Record, Joseph M. White
The Ku Klux Klan In Indiana In The 1920'S As Viewed By The Indiana Catholic And Record, Joseph M. White
Graduate Thesis Collection
The Ku Klux Klan during the 1920's attained a high level of influence though not outright control in the political and social affairs of Indiana. The Klan with its nativist vision of American life regarded with hostility the deviant values represented by Negroes, Jews, Roman Catholics, and aliens. The irony of the rise of this movement in Indiana was that the population of these minorities was proportionally lower in the Hoosier state than in most other states.
The Concept Of History In The Thought Of Rudolf Bultmann And Reinhold Niebuhr, Joseph H. Bragg Jr.
The Concept Of History In The Thought Of Rudolf Bultmann And Reinhold Niebuhr, Joseph H. Bragg Jr.
Graduate Thesis Collection
The question of the nature and meaning of history has become increasingly important in contemporary thought. In theological circles, it has become the central theme of discussion. Thereare a number of reasons why this is so. The events of the times in which we live have brought about a definite rejection of any knowledge-equals-progress idea of history as well as a call for interpretation of the profound social crises which we confront. The widespread influence of existentialism, with its emphasis on relativism and subjectivism, has brought into question not only the nature of history, in terms of present reality, but …

Differential Selection In Juniper Populations From The Baum Limestone And Trinity Sand Of Southern Oklahoma, Marion T. Hall, Claudia J. Carr
Differential Selection In Juniper Populations From The Baum Limestone And Trinity Sand Of Southern Oklahoma, Marion T. Hall, Claudia J. Carr
Butler University Botanical Studies
Two markedly different geologic formations, the Baum limestone and Trinity sand and an area of intermixed talus were compared for several physical attributes and these correlated with the structure of the plant communities occupying them and with the variability of a conspicuous constituent for each of the three habitats. (1) Juniperus Ashei occupies the Baum Limestone in nearly pure stands, but with wide spacing, while the general cover consists of Bouteloua hirsula and Andropogon scoparius. The limestone has a high carbonate content, high hygroscopic coefficient, low soil moisture. (2) Juniperus virginiana occupies the Trinity sand on cleared, reverted land …
Development Of A Chemically Defined Medium For Biosynthesis Of Capreomycin By Streptomyces Capreolus, Laverne D. Boeck
Development Of A Chemically Defined Medium For Biosynthesis Of Capreomycin By Streptomyces Capreolus, Laverne D. Boeck
Butler University Botanical Studies
A complex organic medium had been developed for this organism, but a chemically defined medium was not available. A number of carbohydrates were tested and it was determined that pentoses, glucose, starch, and dextrine produced the best antibiotic yields. A combination of glucose and dextrine was chosen for routine use. Use of five amino acids: L-asparagine, glycine, L-alanine, L-leucine and L-histidine gave the highest antibiotic yields. High levels of leucine were tolerated by the organism and were in some instances very helpful to antibiotic yields, but no single amino acid was essential and various combinations could be used. It was …
A Survey Of The Ecology Of Tecoma Stans, John Pelton
A Survey Of The Ecology Of Tecoma Stans, John Pelton
Butler University Botanical Studies
Tecoma stans (L.) Juss. ex H.B.K., a shrub or small tree in the Bignoniaceae, is a widely distributed polymorphic complex of the Western Hemisphere tropics and subtropics, and is commonly planted as an ornamental throughout the tropical world. Winter temperature limits its poleward distribution. The species is characteristic of rocky slopes, often limestone outcrops, but also alluvial and other substrata as long as drainage is excellent. In arid regions it occurs in climax xerophytic shrub or thorn forest communities, while in humid areas it is common mainly in deforested and other disturbed sites since it behaves as a heliophyte. The …
Biosynthesis Of Glutamic Acid, Wee Chong Tan, Bernard Malin
Biosynthesis Of Glutamic Acid, Wee Chong Tan, Bernard Malin
Butler University Botanical Studies
An unknown microorganism was isolated from the soil by using defined selective medium. It could synthesize glutamic acid from glucose and urea. When subjected to repeated ultra-violet light and X-ray irradiations, and after process of screening, the organism had increased the yield of glutamic acid biosynthesis up to 10 mgm per ml of broth. The pathway of glutamic acid biosynthesis is unknown. Evidence indicated that the TCA cycle was probably not involved. The microorganism could be a new species of Micrococcus.
Notes On Cultivated Junipers, Marion T. Hall
Notes On Cultivated Junipers, Marion T. Hall
Butler University Botanical Studies
The genus Juniperus is the third largest in the coniferales, and its many species are not only widespread but also extensively cultivated. Several factors make the classifying of horticultural junipers both difficult and confusing. First, the species are ill-defined since there are few good key characters and few qualitative characters. The numerous quantitative characters vary considerably. The characteristics of the reproductive organs, fruit characters, vary as much as those of the vegetative body. Secondly, natural hybridization at the species level is widespread and the recombinations are occasionally bizarre. Thirdly, horticultural selection is made by man without concomitant analysis of the …
The Genus Sphaerellopsis In Indiana, Rex N. Webster
The Genus Sphaerellopsis In Indiana, Rex N. Webster
Butler University Botanical Studies
A new alga was recorded for Marion County in the State of Indiana in May, 1960, when a sample of water from a small fish pond on the property of Professor William Cupp, near the Butler University campus, was found to contain a large number of individuals of Sphaerellopsis fluviatilis Pascher. No previous report of the occurrence of this genus in Indiana is listed in the flora records of the state.
Family Ii. Chamaesiphonaceae, Francis Drouet, William A. Daily
Family Ii. Chamaesiphonaceae, Francis Drouet, William A. Daily
Butler University Botanical Studies
In this family, the plants, originally unicellular, grow eventually into strata or cushions from which filaments of cells penetrate the substratum. The solitary cells are basically attached to the substratum by a sheath of gelatinous material; cell division proceeds, at right angles to the axis of the cell, in an unequal fashion: the apical daughter cell is as a rule much smaller than the basal daughter cell. The upper part of the sheath is burst open, and the small daughter cell passes out of the mother cell sheath or develops in silu within the open sheath.

History Of Classification, Francis Drouet, William A. Daily
History Of Classification, Francis Drouet, William A. Daily
Butler University Botanical Studies
If botanists prior to 1777 encountered species of coccoid Myxophyceae, they probably referred them to the Linnaean genera Byssus, Tremella, or Ulva. J. Lightfoot in his Flora Scotica (1777) named a conspicuous gelatinous alga from wet places on the Isle of Skye Ulva montana (Anacystis montana of this paper). K Sprengel in Flora Halensis, Mantissa (1807) described green globules floating in a lake near Halle as Coccochloris stagnina During the period of 1790-1850, numerous genera and species were published.

Revision Of The Coccoid Myxophyceae, Francis Drouet, William A. Daily
Butler University Botanical Studies
This study originated as an inquiry, some twenty years ago, into what names should be employed for species of coccoid Myxophyceae found in general collections of algae from various parts of the world. Gradually we accumulated and examined many thousands of specimens. Equally gradually it became apparent to us that only a carefully executed revision of the group, with sufficient attention paid to the morphological variation and life history of each species and with strict adherence to the stern discipline of the science of historical taxonomy, would produce a classification and a nomenclature which would satisfy our desire.

Preservation And Microscopical Techniques, Francis Drouet, William A. Daily
Butler University Botanical Studies
Permanent preservation of these algae is most adequately assured by drying. The dried specimens can be placed in paper packets, labeled, and stored in the herbarium. Since most of the species thrive best in subaerial or temporarily inundated habitats, they exist for much of the year in the dried condition in nature. Wet algae can be laid top-side up on paper and allowed to dry in the open air. Drying in a plant press excludes the air, so that autolyzation of the protoplasm takes place; drying with heat often destroys the cells by cooking. If possible, part of the substratum …

Family Iii: Clastidiaceae, Francis Drouet, William A. Daily
Butler University Botanical Studies
Plants of this family are elongate epiphytic unicells contained in thin gelatinous sheaths. The entire protoplast divides into a uniseriaer chain of rounded cells which often remain united by their membranes after the hydrolyzation of the sheath. The cells, upon separation from each other, elongate and secrete new gelatinous sheaths.

The following names have been described on the bases of material not included in the families treated above. Most of these names were originally described as members of the Chroococcaceae, Chamaesiphonaceae, or Clastidiaceae; or were transferred into those families at one time or another; or have been suspected as being members of those families. Where the original specimens have not been available for study, we have designated the original description as the temporary Type, to serve until specimens seen by the author can be found.

Forest Communities In Versailles State Park, Indiana, Forest Stearns
Forest Communities In Versailles State Park, Indiana, Forest Stearns
Butler University Botanical Studies
Continuity of observation over an extended period of time is a difficult but vital phase of the study of the natural vegetation of any area. Such continuity is difficult to obtain. The vegetation may be destroyed or the investigator may move before sufficient time has elapsed to permit any significant development. Dr. J. E. Potzger realized the difficulties inherent in a long-time study but he also considered such studies valuable. Hence in 1950 he and Mrs. Potzger published the results of their studies on several areas in Versailles State Park. These were planned as the ground work for a long-time …
Morphology, Francis Drouet, William A. Daily
Morphology, Francis Drouet, William A. Daily
Butler University Botanical Studies
The plant -- this term is employed here to indicate a single free cell or a group of cells joined together, usually in a gelatinous matrix. A specimen or single collection may contain many plants of one or few cells mixed with other algae; it may be a single entire globule, cushion, or stratum, or a part of one of these. In the Chroococcaceae and some species of Entophysalis, plants of the same species may be found in the form of strata, cushions, or globules (both microscopic and macroscopic), or as free unattached cells.

Family I. Chroococcaceae, Part 1, Francis Drouet, William A. Daily
Butler University Botanical Studies
Most of the species of Chroococcaceae are capable of developing in various ways: as microscopic or macroscopic globular aquatic plants with homogeneous or lamellose matrices; as aquatic, subaerial, or aetial strata or cushions; or as free single cells where the sheath material has completely hydrolyzed. The cells, their methods of division and regeneration, and the arrangement of the cells in the plant are the chief means of distinguishing genera and species. Division of a cell into two equal daughter-cells is characteristic of the family.

Between 1799 and 1846, the territory which now comprises the State of Indiana was divided by the United States public land survey into six-mile-square townships as a prerequisite for the equitable distribution of public lands. Each township, in turn, was subdivided into 36 sections one-mile square. Section and quarter-section corners, as well as a number of intermediate points, were marked by blazing trees. The location, name, and diameter of more than 214,500 "witness trees," composed of more than 80 species and generic groups, were recorded in the Indiana surveyors' journals. These journals and the maps compiled from them, records inscribed …

A Study Of The Historic Theories Of The Atonement, William F. Bromley
Graduate Thesis Collection
In one of his letters to the church at Corinth, the apostle Paul sets forth as one of the basic facts of the primitive Gospel that "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. "l In the same passage, he asserts that it is by this Gospel that men are saved - that is that there is a definite relationship between the death of Christ and the salvation of men. To define this relationship has been a task that has occupied the thinking of some of the greatest minds of the ages since the day that Jesus of Nazareth …
