The Sociological Implications Of Women's Fashions In The Crinoline Era (1840-1860), Margaret Ruth Brinson

Master's Theses

A study of women's clothes shows that they have played their part and have been of great importance in reflecting the thought and culture of the time. A study of fashion fancies and desires has proven fascinating and the Crinoline period had a wealth of charming costumes and ideas.

I have tried to differentiate between the decades, using the thirties as a mere transition period to the time generally referred to as Crinoline. The Appendices have been compiled for the purpose of easier identification of the actual clothing of the period. From the museums, I have taken pictures and obtained …

The Role Of The Minister In Psychotherapy, Samuel Schwartz

Master's Theses

why should the minister intrude on the field of psychotherapy? Physicians will say that many a pastor who has come into the sick-room has done the patient more harm than good. The solemn appearance of the "man of God" and his mournful players have set back many a recovery, they will tell you.

In working up the data from 119 freshmen 's scores on the Michigan Vocabulary Profile Test, results were such as to arouse interest in analysis of freshmen performance on …

A Chapter In The History Of Orange County, Virginia, William Livingston Kirby

Master's Theses

In 1753 Orange County could hardly have still been oalled a frontier region, but its society remained like that of the more exposed communities to the west for some time. It was neither overpopulated nor was the land intensively cultivated. The flora and fauna had hardly been affected, and wolves frequently howling at night reminded the inhabitants that the job of taming their environment was yet unfinished. These wolves were suffi­ ciently destruotive to demand bounties, and many farmers, planters and. gentlemen eked out their income by presenting the head of a wolf to the sheriff, who paid a hundred …
