The Motley Family Of Virginia : Being An Acount Of The Maternal Ancestry Of The Writer J. Motley Booker, J. Motley Booker

Honors Theses

The name Motley is not a common one in America nor here in Virginia, though the progenitor of the line first settled here over two hundred and fifty years ago. A partial reason for this lies in the fact that as far as records reveal, only one of that family emigrated to America. Tradition which has been handed down to us by word of mouth, gives the family a French Huguenot extraction, and the rudimentary researches in that direction have seemed to uphold this tradition in every way.

Honors Papers

In this thesis the writer has endeavored to treat the distinctive religion of the American Negroes so as to make evident, as far as he is able, the circumstances of its origin, its early development, the changes which have conditioned it, the theology in which it has been formulated, and the psychological motives which have been expressed in it.

Amherst Township, A Regional Study, Ruth C. Rockwood

Honors Papers

Amherst township was selected as the area to be studied because it was believed to be as nearly representative of the aspects of land and life in north central Ohio as any small area that could be found. It is located on a section of the Lake Plain which has somewhat parallel lines formed by three beach-ridges, and on the northern edge of the Glaciated Plain. Then, the quarrying of the world famous Berea sandstone gives somewhat of an individual aspect to the small towns within Amherst township.

The purpose of the paper is to describe the physical landscape, and …

English Homilies And English Miracle Plays, Anthony J. Achee

English Language and Literature ETDs

A priest who is also a student of English literature is naturally interested in the manifestations of the religious spirit as it has appeared in our literature. Acquaintance with a few finely poetic passages in the homilies of Aelfric led me to suspect that perhaps our ancient homiletic literature was worthy of more attention than it seemed to have received at the hands of scholars. Consequently, when the opportunity for producing an original study presented itself, the field was waiting for me; that of the early English homilies.

The Treatment Of Lancelot In English Literature From 1100 To 1900, Norma Koch

Graduate Thesis Collection

In the treatment of the character of Lancelot in the Arthurian romance I have tried to show the different conceptions of each author studied. The first section presents the group of romances dealing with the idea of Lancelot as an individual lover. At first he was merely a knight of prowess; then he becomes the lover of the queen. This association adds to his prestige as an outstanding character.

The Metrics, Imagery And Philosophy Of Robert Frost, Gertrude Warner

English Language and Literature ETDs

The metrical study, based on Frost's blank verse only, was made for the purpose of determining the quality of his blank verse, and the effect produced by the use of substitutions, feminine endings, run-on lines, and end-stop lines. The metrical tables have been compiled after a careful study of 1811 lines of Frost's blank verse. Ten of what are commonly considered among his best poems in blank verse were used as a basis for the study. The metrical findings in the blank verse of each of the five books of the author's poetry have also been tabulated. A final table …

The Effect Of A Special Method Of Instruction In The Development Of Scientific Attitudes, Helen Heacock Ellis

Political Science ETDs

Sharing the views of many other educators, particularly certain political scientists of the day, Professor Arthur S. White contends that "democracy...has failed, not only to produce leaders of intelligence and vision, but it has failed to produce that degree of intelligence essential to its survival." Convinced that education for information only has proved inadequate to meet the demands of a self-governing society, he has developed a type of classroom procedure which he believes will more effectively produce habits of thought essential to the survival of democracy than the traditional methods of teaching used in our colleges.

This study has its …

The Miles-Crook Controversy, Katherine Shepard

History ETDs

The accusations and resulting explanations in the Miles-Crook newspaper encounters revolved around four questions. First, had Miles disobeyed his orders in accepting a conditional surrender. The chief difficulty here was that no one seemed able to discover just what terms or promises Miles had made to Geronimo. Second, had not General Miles and Captain Lawton received the credit for the surrender which should have been bestowed upon Lieutenant Gatewood, who with two Chiricahua scouts, sought out the hostile camp and arranged that the Indians should go to the border and give themselves up to Miles. Third, had not Miles, after …
