Reconstruction In Kentucky., John W. Manning
Reconstruction In Kentucky., John W. Manning
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Reconstruction began in Kentucky somewhat sooner than in the States south of the Blue Grass Commonwealth. As soon as the invading Confederate army withdrew from the State in 1862, loyal Kentuckians began to prepare for peaceful pursuits and to restore the State, as best they could, to somewhat the position it occupied before the war between the states. Of course it was impossible to remake the State as it was before the struggle, but at least the civil authority could be restored, and the State prepared for the reign of peace. The dates 1862 to 1870 have been selected as …
The Influence Of Sixteenth Century Voyages On Elizabethan Literature., Elizabeth Nugent
The Influence Of Sixteenth Century Voyages On Elizabethan Literature., Elizabeth Nugent
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
It is the purpose of this thesis to show what influence the sixteenth century voyagers had on the Elizabethan writers. For expediency, we have divided these voyages into two classes: namely, the early, from Columbus, 1492, to Vasca de Gama, 1498; and the later voyagers from de Gama to Captain Smith, 1603. We find that commerce instigated nearly all early navigation. The Turks having cut off the Mediterranean trade route with India in 1453, it was necessary to find another water route to this country. As a direct consequence, Columbus discovered the West Indies in 1492 and claimed the new …
The Farce Element In Moliere., Louise Diecks
The Farce Element In Moliere., Louise Diecks
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
To gain a true appreciation of the works of any author, we must first be familiar with his race, his environment, and the period in which and of which he wrote. The Paris of the early seventeenth century was far different from the modern metropolis of today. It was the Paris of ill-paved, badly lighted streets where beggar and peasant starved and marquises rolled by in their emblazoned coaches, where d’Artagnan and the King’s musketeers spread romance and challenged authority and where conspiracy brewed and criminals died upon the pillory. It was a pleasure-loving and pleasure-seeking, merry, carefree populace in …
Sir Richard Steele, Reformer., H. Carter Davidson
Sir Richard Steele, Reformer., H. Carter Davidson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Because the critics of the eighteenth century admired form more than thought, Sir Richard Steele has been sadly neglected and all honours have been heaped upon his literary partner, Joseph Addison. Slowly the readers of the twentieth century are beginning to realize that Steele had all the originality, while Addison had nothing but polish. It is to present a few of the astoundingly original and influential ideas of Steele that this paper has been written. To the best of my knowledge after some extended search, the reforms of Richard Steele have not been treated, at least not in the manner …
Mably On International War And Peace., Kenneth Leeds Holmes
Mably On International War And Peace., Kenneth Leeds Holmes
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study of Mably’s works was undertaken because of the scant treatment thus far accorded the writings of a philosopher, important in his own century, and peculiarly interesting today in view of the present partial realization of many of his plans for the improvement of society. It was at first intended to make the subject of this paper an exposition of Mably’s communistic theories. That it is not, is partly due to accident. The reading of his works in the order of their composition, necessitated beginning with his Principes des Negotiations which, though not written first, was designed as an …
Philippine Education Prior To Magellan., Morris Uberta Lively
Philippine Education Prior To Magellan., Morris Uberta Lively
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In studying the culture of any people we learn that no group has been absolutely independent of influences from other people. No man indeed can say that he has attained anything of value absolutely by himself; an individual must give credit to the contributions of other men, nations and races of people past and present. So must a nation glean its culture from that of other people. The Roman Empire is a splendid example of this gleaning of culture. Their culture came from contributions made by the Greeks, the Jews and from the people of northern Africa as well as …
The Neutrality Of Kentucky In 1861., Jennie Angell Mengel 1872-1934
The Neutrality Of Kentucky In 1861., Jennie Angell Mengel 1872-1934
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
During the year 1924 - 1925 a seminar on the Civil War in Kentucky was held in the University of Louisville under the direction of Dr. R. S. Cotterill of the Department of History. Among the subjects studied the Neutrality of the State in 1861 seemed to arouse the most discussion and the most divergent opinions. For this reason I have been interested in pursuing the subject further and in embodying the results of my study in this thesis. Most of the material on which the thesis is based has been presented to the seminar and been criticized by the …
Shakespeare's Elizabethan Public., Joseph Anderson Burns
Shakespeare's Elizabethan Public., Joseph Anderson Burns
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Of all the arts drama is the most democratic. Other forms of artistic and aesthetic expression, literature, music, painting, may be cultivated in solitude. Not so the drama. It is demanded by the public; produced for the public and unless it is approved by the public its doom is certain. Why it is that the drama cannot at any time break away from the tastes, prejudices, and ideals of the public for which it was written, M. Edelstand Du Meril has clearly state: “But the inspiration of the work (the drama) hasn’t at all that egotistical spirit, disdainful of the …
Word-Play In Shakespeare., Mary E. Burton
Word-Play In Shakespeare., Mary E. Burton
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A careful perusal of Shakespeare’s works leads to one outstanding conclusion. Shakespeare was preeminently interested in words, as such. His every play shows a painstaking attention to words in their various shades of meaning. It is our interest to present some definite proof of this extraordinary emphasis on words, and to attempt in a small way to explain the reason for this particular trait of Shakespeare’s. Certainly as skillful a playwright as he would not have included so many carefully planned word-plays in his dramas if the audience of the time were not interested in the language itself as well …

Woman's Place In Modern Drama., Ruth Wilson
Woman's Place In Modern Drama., Ruth Wilson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
While the character of women in the plays of ancient times has ever played an important part in the history of the drama, the appearance of women in the feminine roles is a distinctly recent development. It might well be said that this is a fairly modern addition to the stage. Perhaps if Aeschylus or Shakespeare were here to-day, they would shake their heads and sigh because women, whose place they considered to be in the home, should have so far degraded themselves as to appear before an audience on an equal footing with their husbands or brothers. They would …
The Regular Army As A Factor In Maintaining Peace In The United States., A. Robert Ginsburgh (Abraham Robert) 1895-1958
The Regular Army As A Factor In Maintaining Peace In The United States., A. Robert Ginsburgh (Abraham Robert) 1895-1958
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The function of the army of the United States is to protect the country against all enemies foreign and domestic. Everyone is cognizant of the accomplishments of the American forces against its foreign enemies; but there is another work, of equal importance, fraught with as great a danger, which is too often overlooked that is, the use of the army as an auxiliary force to strengthen the arm of municipal authority, in the suppression of riots and disturbances; and to maintain order, where for some reason or other, the municipal authority has been unable to cope with the situation. Wars …
A History Of Ohio River Trade At Louisville From Its Beginning Until 1840., John Edward Heller
A History Of Ohio River Trade At Louisville From Its Beginning Until 1840., John Edward Heller
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The dominant theme in the study of any phase of Ohio River history is found in the great extent of the river system and the vast area of the drainage basin of the Mississippi to which this stream forms so important a part. The basin of the Mississippi, as has been aptly said, is the "Body of the Nation," all other parts of the nation being but members, important in themselves, yet more important in their relation to this.(1) In extent it is the second great valley of the world, being exceeded only by that of the Amazon.(2) In a …
The Effect Of Diet Of The Cow And The Pasteurization Of Milk In Closed Bottles Upon The Nutritive And Antiscorbutic Properties Of Cows' Milk, George C. Biggar
The Effect Of Diet Of The Cow And The Pasteurization Of Milk In Closed Bottles Upon The Nutritive And Antiscorbutic Properties Of Cows' Milk, George C. Biggar
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Probably no discovery in the scientific world, and especially in the field of nutrition, has excited more interest in the past few years than the finding and naming of the three hitherto unknown food factors known as vitamins. For many years it has been observed that certain diets for man that apparently are satisfactory as far as their nutritive value is concerned, still seem to lack something necessary for normal growth and function, or else lead to some serious disease. For example it has been known for centuries that sailors on long ocean voyages where the diet consisted largely of …
History Of The Churches Of Louisville With Special Reference To Slavery., Homer E. Wickenden
History Of The Churches Of Louisville With Special Reference To Slavery., Homer E. Wickenden
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In the one hundred and forty years of Louisville's existence, it has grown from a log cabin settlement with no churches to a city with 269 churches and church property valued at over $30,000,000. It is impossible to measure the moral and religious force that they have exerted on the city. It can best be appreciated when one thinks of what the city would be without them. Few of us would care to live in such a city. In the field of education, Louisville churches have contributed much. Some of the first schools in the city were conducted by ministers, …
A History Of The Theatre In Louisville., Mary Martha Dietz
A History Of The Theatre In Louisville., Mary Martha Dietz
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A child is considered by some psychologists to pass through on its way to manhood the stages through which the race has passed on its way to civilization. If this is true of a single man, might it not equally be true of a community of men? Have not most settlements, in greater or a less degree, passed through the stages of development common to the growth of all cities until they have reached the standards of their day? A company of civilized men and women going forth to make a settlement in a new place, upon their arrival at …
Sympathy And System In Giving., Elwood Street
Sympathy And System In Giving., Elwood Street
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A quarter of a century ago, Abraham Epworth Rounds, aged forty-five, came shambling out of mountainous Eastern Tennessee to one of our Kentucky cities. He was intent on making a living in easier fashion than scratching it from the lean soil of the mountainside. Among his immediate relatives were nineteen people, defective from birth – blind, deaf, feeble-minded. Abraham Epworth Rounds ran true to the family form. His vision was so defective that he had been given a few years of schooling at the Tennessee School for the Blind. In Louisville, at first, he made a precarious living for himself …
The Relation Between Man And Nature In Wordsworth's Poetry., Elizabeth Hoskins
The Relation Between Man And Nature In Wordsworth's Poetry., Elizabeth Hoskins
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
While democracy was developing, while men were seeking to reform national politics and to find some means by which the people might be represented justly in the government, a new movement entered into literature to give it a broadened scope and a deepened meaning. This was the philosophical movement, at times strongly influenced by a metaphysical spirit, which often "not only prescribed the form of poetry, but furnished it with its elements". (Taine, History of English Literature, p.87). The questions, What is the meaning of life? What is man, and what is his purpose in the world? turned the thoughts …
Cooperative Marketing Of Farm Products In South Dakota, Wendell Frichiof Kumlien
Cooperative Marketing Of Farm Products In South Dakota, Wendell Frichiof Kumlien
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Introduction: General Facts Underlying the Whole Problem of Distribution and Marketing of Farm Products Before entering into a detailed discussion of cooperative marketing of farm products as applied to South Dakota, I wish to briefly mention a few general historical facts which in a large part go to make up the background for the whole present day problem of distribution and marketing. 1. Pioneer America’s Agricultural Problems Mainly Those of Production During the period when our country was predominately agricultural, each farm produced practically everything it needed and was in the main self-sufficing. Each farmer produced his own wheat and …
Early Kentucky Intrigues Regarding The Mississippi River., Henri Reubelt Pearcy 1894-1987
Early Kentucky Intrigues Regarding The Mississippi River., Henri Reubelt Pearcy 1894-1987
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This paper is involved in a study of the intrigues of Kentuckians for the securing of the Mississippi River as a free waterway for the marketing of their produce and the consequent improvement of the condition of Kentuckians in every way. The conspiracies of such men as Blount and Burr have not been included because there was no real and vital connection of Kentuckians with their schemes. The intrigues of Wilkinson after the Spanish treating of 1795 were not involving Kentucky peculiarly but rather the Southwest, and they would not be properly included here. Evidence of complicity in intrigues on …
Some Phases Of The Rural Sociological Situation., Jonas William Boyer 1890-1947
Some Phases Of The Rural Sociological Situation., Jonas William Boyer 1890-1947
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This treatise is not intended to cover the whole field of Rural Sociology. It deals briefly with the more important phases of the subject. Perchance many important problems have been omitted which the reader will call to mind. This will go to show that the reader is thinking about the subject, and will be led to consider further the welfare of the rural population. The Science of Rural Sociology is rather new in consideration, but the oldest of all sciences in practice. The original inhabitants of this world were ruralists, and necessarily social conditions sprang up with them which needed …
Some Phases Of Our Modern Industrial Problem., James Asa White 1886-1953
Some Phases Of Our Modern Industrial Problem., James Asa White 1886-1953
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The original intention of this dissertation was to have been a brief treatment of some phases of our modern industrial problem. Later, however, it was decided to offer suggestions for solutions to these various problems. This I have attempted to do in the form of appendices. The greater emphasis will be given to the side of the laboring man in relation to his environment, his fellow-worker, and organized capital, rather than to organized industries as such. It is very evident from the great unrest now apparent in the laboring world, that something is radically wrong with the present system of …
The Religious Element In The Popular Ballads., Elizabeth Phillips Mcconathy
The Religious Element In The Popular Ballads., Elizabeth Phillips Mcconathy
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The present study of the religious element in the popular ballads is based largely on Mr. George L. Kittredge's edition of Mr. Francis J. Child's collection of English and Scottish popular ballads, the completeness of which, up to this time, has not been disputed.* Mr. Kittredge has printed in his volume one or more versions of every ballad which Mr. Child has given as an authentic folk ballad (omitting Nos. 33, 279, 281, 290 and 291), besides including a few of somewhat doubtful origin. It has not been judged necessary for the purposes of this article to discuss more than …
The Potato, I. S. Oakland
The Potato, I. S. Oakland
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
I respectfully submit this investigation and thesis to the committee of Master of Science, realizing that a long time is needed for proving any scientific principle no matter how large or small that truth may be. I have labored patiently for the last two years trying to find what part inheritance takes in lowering the yield of tubers in this state. I found that inheritance plays an important part in lowering the yield. I also found that there was a direct relationship of size of seed piece to yield, and that possibly the low yield of today is due to …
Le Misanthrope., Henry William Lenz
Le Misanthrope., Henry William Lenz
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The aim of this thesis is to show that there is found in this "noblest of comic masterpieces" an absorbing study of mankind and a profound knowledge of the human heart. It is In his work that man gives himself to the world; in his literary efforts he gives a vivid portrayal of himself, his real and inner self is splendidly revealed, though the merely material man is kept in the background. Bearing this in mind the writer has endeavored not so much to depict the character of Moliere, but, rather by an analytical process, to designate the elements which …
Atmospheric Nitrous And Nitric Acids And Their Absorption By Rain And Surface Water., Alexander Y. Lee
Atmospheric Nitrous And Nitric Acids And Their Absorption By Rain And Surface Water., Alexander Y. Lee
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Having been born and brought up in China, an empire, where the people are utterly ignorant of the vital importance of a good system of public water supply, and having decided to take chemistry as my profession, I feel intensely interested in the examination of water for the purpose of convincing our people in the far east to pay proper attention to sanitation on a chemical basis. The average life period there has been roughly estimated to be thirty years, and we have now in the Middle Kingdom a population of 450,000,000. It means in each century we have approximately …
The School Garden From An Educational View Point., Emilie Yunker
The School Garden From An Educational View Point., Emilie Yunker
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
"School gardens are not intended to create gardeners or farmers but to afford the growing boy or girl an opportunity for many aided developments." In the school garden the children are taught by one who can inspire them with a love not only for plants, but for everything else that has life and grows to take care of trees, lawns, flowers, vegetables and such things planted with their own hands. It is a place where the plants together with their friends and enemies have an intimate relation to the child personally; where the lessons are far more vital than anything …
Bacteria In Relation To Every Day Life., Inga Werness
Bacteria In Relation To Every Day Life., Inga Werness
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
It is to be noticed that if there be any marshy places, certain animals breed there, which are invisible to the eye and yet getting into the system through the mouth and nostrils cause serious disorders." This quaint observation is taken from a manuscript written over two thousand years ago, showing that bacteria even if not seen, were living and active. Latin writers of about the same time recorded a relation between insects and malaria which has but lately been proved and explained. The infectious character of leprosy has long been recognized, since the ancient Hebrews caused the isolation of …
Course In Sewing For Children, Lilla Harkins
Course In Sewing For Children, Lilla Harkins
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Introduction: “Upon the education of the American school girl depends the future of the American home.” The object of all education is to prepare men and women for the duties and pleasures of life, to make good citizens, useful men and women of our boys and girls. Every accomplishment a girl possesses is one more thing toward making her a useful woman. Sewing bases its claim to a place in the schools on the same grounds that give wood-work a foothold. “It is a form of Manual Training of hand and head work, of training of the hand for the …
The Trend Towards Socialism In Recent Law-Making, James Arthur Brown
The Trend Towards Socialism In Recent Law-Making, James Arthur Brown
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Introduction: It is an undeniable fact that civilized nations are drifting towards socialism. Whether we reach the goal of ideal and theoretic socialists at last, or stop short of socialism in its modern accepted meaning it is not the purpose of this work to investigate. Socialism is of recent origin. It was started less than seventy years ago in France. The progress that it has made is worthy of some attention. It has spread to all civilized nations and has won many earnest supporters in England, France Germany and the United States. A great deal of confusion results from the …
