Willa and her family moved to the Nebraska frontier when Willa was eight years old. In the Nebraska prairies of the late nineteenth century, there were many foreign immigrants who had come to settle: Swedes, Norwegians, Russians, French, Germans …

An Educational History Of The Gullahs Of Coastal South Carolina From 1700 To 1900 (Black Education), Elizabeth Hoit-Thetford
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The educational efforts of the first fifty years of the 1700s for the Gullahs, black slaves brought to South Carolina's low country, were a by-product of the Church of England's concern for the souls of heathens. Through the Church's offspring, the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, missionaries were sent to South Carolina beginning in 1702. By 1704, Samuel Thomas, the Society's first missionary there, reported that he had taught about twenty blacks to read, and by 1743 the Society opened a school for blacks in Charleston despite a 1740 law prohibiting slave education.

The Relationship Between Exercise Activities And Self-Esteem In Elderly Populations, Marcia Taylor
The Relationship Between Exercise Activities And Self-Esteem In Elderly Populations, Marcia Taylor
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
It has been recognized that there is a connection between exercise and mental well-being and studies conducted on college students and employees by Hayden and Allen, Pauley, Palmer, Wright, and Pfeiffer, and Short, DiCarlo, Steffee, and Pavolou all support a positive relationship between physical exercise and a feeling of positive self-worth. It has also been found by Conroy, Smith, and Felthous and Collingwood that physical fitness can function as a therapeutic intervention for mentally and physically debilitated clients. However, none of these studies segregated the findings according to group or individual exercise activities. The potential influence of the group setting …

Effect Of Level Of Exercise Of Self-Care Agency And Selected Pain Treatment Modalities In Surgical Patients, Candice Pederson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Imagine being in severe pain. Imagine having significant pain for an extended period of time. Imagine being dependent on others for the relief of this pain. And imagine the anxiety associated with the uncertainty of not knowing pain relief will come when it is needed. The preceding are common occurrences among those persons facing illness, injury or surgery. The anxiety surrounding the fear that this pain will not be relieved can augment the pain itself. Post-operative pain can lead to complications such as pneumonia, atelectasis, and immobility. For example, research has indicated that measures which decrease pain may increase lung …

Censorship And Control Of The University Student Newspaper :17 Case Studies, Elizabeth A. Minden
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
More than 330 colleges and universities throughout the United States offer degrees or programs in journalism. All of these colleges and universities have student newspapers. The student newspaper is one of the most common vehicles for college-educated journalists to receive their initial news-editorial experiences. The roles student newspaper advisers, college administrators, journalism departments, college student governments and college publications boards play in college newspaper management are important because most professional American newspapers prefer to employ college-educated journalists for their news-editorial staffs. According to Melvin Mencher, professor of journalism at Columbia University, to make the student newspaper a bona fide educational …
