Letters exchanged between Susanna Bixby Bryant, the founder of Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, and several leading southern California botanists and horticulturalists (especially Ernest Braunton, Willis Linn Jepson, and Theodore Payne) in 1925–1926 document her steps toward creating a botanical garden devoted to the native California flora.


Mathematics In America: The First Hundred Years, Judith V. Grabiner Jan 1977

Mathematics In America: The First Hundred Years, Judith V. Grabiner

Pitzer Faculty Publications and Research

There are two main questions I shall discuss in this paper. First, why was American mathematics so weak from 1776 to 1876? Second, and much more important, how did what happened from 1776-1876 produce an American mathematics respectable by international standards by the end of the nineteenth century? We will see that the "weakness" -at least as measured by the paucity of great names- co-existed with the active building both of mathematics education and of a mathematical community which reached maturity in the 1890's.

The Anatomy Of A Conqueror: The Image And Reality Of Lucius Aemilius Paullus, William Reiter Jan 1977

The Anatomy Of A Conqueror: The Image And Reality Of Lucius Aemilius Paullus, William Reiter

Graduate Dissertations and Theses

The present study is largely historiographical in nature, its principal aim being a better understanding of Lucius Aemilius Paullus, consul of 182 and 168, and one of the crucial figures in Rome’s conquest of the Mediterranean. Paullus is most often represented as a man of pristine virtue and philhellenic persuasion, and his resulting image has clouded both the man and the events in which he was involved. In order to obtain a less biased view, careful consideration is given to the treatment of Paullus as found in Polybius, Livy, and Plutarch; and, finally, the attempt is made to provide a …


Ideology And Diplomacy: The Impact Of Reformed Religion On Foreign Policy And Diplomatic Practice In The First Decade Of Elizabeth I, Warren Stephens Curry Jan 1977

Ideology And Diplomacy: The Impact Of Reformed Religion On Foreign Policy And Diplomatic Practice In The First Decade Of Elizabeth I, Warren Stephens Curry

Graduate Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation examines the ideological attitudes of Elizabeth’s servants on issues of foreign policy and to examine the relationship between stated ideological goals and foreign policy. The conclusion drawn from this examination is that the men who served Elizabeth shared a basic set of Protestant attitudes that fundamentally determined how they saw other actors in the political universe of the late 1550s and 1560s, and that for the most part their policy recommendations follow from these attitudes. In varying degrees Elizabeth’s diplomatic servants believed that her political survival depended on the survival of a variety of Protestant groups in other …

Jus Non Scriptum And The Reliance Principle, Stanley L. Paulson Nov 1976

Jus Non Scriptum And The Reliance Principle, Stanley L. Paulson

Michigan Law Review

On the Continent, a general theory of customary law has been developed-what I term the Continental theory; it identifies formation and validity as the central issues in the analysis of custom and customary law. Yet the Continental theory, notwithstanding its longevity and continuing favorable reception among international lawyers, is ridden with problems. In particular, as I argue in the following section, the theory fails for want of a coherent position on the formation issue. In the course of my argument, I suggest a classification of the norms of customary law in terms of a generic category broader in scope than …

A Study Of Historical Evidences Related To Lds Church As Reflected In Volumes Xiv Through Xxvi Of The Journal Of Discourses, Terry J. Aubrey Apr 1976

A Study Of Historical Evidences Related To Lds Church As Reflected In Volumes Xiv Through Xxvi Of The Journal Of Discourses, Terry J. Aubrey

Theses and Dissertations

The material in this study is a follow-up of a thesis done by Paul C. Richards entitled, "A Study of Evidences Related to LDS Church History as Reflected in Volumes I through XIII of the Journal of Discourse." That same basic format has been employed in treating the last thirteen volumes of the Discourses.

The Discourses contains addresses delivered by General Authorities of the LDS Church and others from 1854 to 1886. Until Richards did his thesis, no one had compiled an index of those volumes that dealt exclusively with history related to the LDS Church. This study …

Beaver, Alaska: The Story Of A Multi-Ethnic Community, William Schneider Mar 1976

Beaver, Alaska: The Story Of A Multi-Ethnic Community, William Schneider

Emeriti Faculty

This work addresses itself to the role that ethno-historical research can play in understanding the present day life of Indians and Eskimos living in a multi-ethnic community in the interior of Alaska. To do this, an attempt has been made to write and analyze the history of the community in a manner that reflects the separate tribal, ethnic, and individual differences of the various people who settled there. Documentation of cultural patterning by different groups enables the researcher to understand the dynamics of cultural persistence and change throughout time in land use, social relations, economic pursuits, attitudes and values. This …
