A History Of Hat Creek Presbyterian Church, 1742-1953, Sydnor Franklin Foster Jul 1954

A History Of Hat Creek Presbyterian Church, 1742-1953, Sydnor Franklin Foster

Master's Theses

All the records of the early history of Hat Creek were destroyed in a very unfortunate fire in 1854. The first two volumes of the present records are kept in storage at the Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, Virginia. The third volume, covering the period from 1902 to 194o, will probably be sent there for safe storage in the very near future. Em­ ploying every available source, the writer has attempted to give a chronological account of the events surrounding Hat Creek from ifs founding in 1742, through the end of 1953.


A History Of Virginia In The Spanish-American War, Virginia Rowe Christian Jul 1954

A History Of Virginia In The Spanish-American War, Virginia Rowe Christian

Master's Theses

Half a century ago, on February 15,1898, the United States Battleship Maine was destroyed by a mysterious explosion as she lay peacefully at moorings in Havana Harbor. At the time, the sympathy of the United States citizens lay strongly with revolutionists in Cuba who were then attempting to secure their freedom from the galling yoke of Spanish rule. The episode of the Maine gave added impetus to the trend which was inevitably drawing the United States and Spain into a state of war and the final breach occurred on April 19,1898, when the United States government recognized the independence of …


A Study Of Tennyson's Historical Trilogy, Robert Caudius Markham Jul 1954

A Study Of Tennyson's Historical Trilogy, Robert Caudius Markham

Master's Theses

Although Alfred Tennyson ls not one of the great dramatists of English Literature. I feel that a study of his historic trilogy is worthwhile and beneficial. Probably we shall never understand completely the mystery of his turning to the form of the drama at the age of sixty-five. We can, however, recognize his growth and development in this field of literature and perceive hie political fervor and religious opinion from the trilogy.

The purpose of this work is to present a study of Tennyson's trilogy demonstrating the degree of dramatic development he achieved.


A Polarographic Study Of Respiration In A Blue-Green Alga, Samuel Leonard Cooke Jr. Jul 1954

A Polarographic Study Of Respiration In A Blue-Green Alga, Samuel Leonard Cooke Jr.

Master's Theses

The study of many aspects of physiology is accomplished by the study of respiration under varied conditions. For this purpose, a simple, rapid, and relatively accurate respirometer would be useful. This project was undertaken to investigate the possibility of adapting previously described polarographic techniques to the measurement of respiration.


A Study Of The Mysticism Of Plotinus And Augustine, R. Baine Harris Jul 1954

A Study Of The Mysticism Of Plotinus And Augustine, R. Baine Harris

Master's Theses

Three major subjects are the concern of this study: Mysticism, Plotinus, and St. Augustine, any one of which would allow elaborate investigation. Here, we have made no attempt to deal with any one of these comprehensively, but have been concerned only to make a comparative analysis of the mysticisms of Plotinus and Augustine.

The writer's interest in Plotinus stems from the fact that Plotinus is both a first-rate philosopher and a mystic, being generally regarded as "the father of Western mysticism." The significance of Augustine in the history of Western Civilization and the fact that he is both a convert …


Discrimination Of Manics And Depressives By The Projective Technique, Handwriting Analysis, Roscoe Sease Aull Jul 1954

Discrimination Of Manics And Depressives By The Projective Technique, Handwriting Analysis, Roscoe Sease Aull

Master's Theses

Graphology ia one of the oldest of psychological methods, but despite its long history it has not yet been established as an exact scientific technique. This existing situation is not so unique if we stop to consider that most other methods of personality analysis are not without flaws either. Perhaps when personality itself is better understood and consistently defined, graphology will be able to make more rapid advances. Conflict in the development of consistent graphological techniques is a main cause also in the struggle for scientific acceptance. Two major problems seem to face the graphologists today. The first is the …


Moses Myers Of Norfolk, Moses Jacob Burak Jul 1954

Moses Myers Of Norfolk, Moses Jacob Burak

Master's Theses

Moses Myers was a child or the revolutionary­ era. He lived in an age of world chaos. His eyes saw the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Panic or 1819. During those upheavals be both made and lost fortunes. He raised a large family and lived through the sorrow or seeing them die, one after another. In the last years of his life he was penniless, but he remained indomitable to the end . That is why his life is worth studying; it is a story or courage and faith.


A Study Of Chaucer's Influence On English Literature Through Dryden, Elder Blair Apperson Jul 1954

A Study Of Chaucer's Influence On English Literature Through Dryden, Elder Blair Apperson

Master's Theses

Geoffrey Chaucer is one of the greatest poets of our English literature. If Shakespeare stands apart as our greatest, then it is John Milton who must dispute with Chaucer the honor of second place. Milton undoubtedly surpasses Chaucer in the grandeur of his imagination and the sublimity or his poetic style; but "he cannot equal him in the range and variety of his art." On one hand we have Chaucer, the grave and serious poet.always keenly conscious that "our human life is a shifting quicksand of mutability, that lasting happiness can never be our earthly portion;" whereas we have but …


A History Of The Chesapeake Bay Ferries To Virginia's Eastern Shore Prior To The Civil War, Clarence Lee Beebe Jul 1954

A History Of The Chesapeake Bay Ferries To Virginia's Eastern Shore Prior To The Civil War, Clarence Lee Beebe

Master's Theses

The decision of the Pennsylvania Railroad Authorities to abandon the ferry service of the Elisha Lee, prior to the boats annual inspection by the United States Coast Guard in March, 1953, created a bit of excitement on the part of the Eastern Shore Inhabitants. This ferry service connected the Shore with Old Point Comfort and Norfolk, Virginia. The ferry made two trips a day across the Bay, carrying the mail, freight, cars, and passengers.
