Virginia, The Pioneer In Historical Markers, Julian Murry Howell
Virginia, The Pioneer In Historical Markers, Julian Murry Howell
Master's Theses
In beginning a study of' Virginia's historical markers it is well to review the economic background which provided tho necessary impetus to initiate the program. The introduction of more labor saving devices, shorter hours of work, improved transportation facilities, and better tourist accommodations, had encouraged the spending of newly acquired leisure in travel. The economic advantages to be gained in having tourists spend more time in our State became increasingly evident as Chambers of Commerce and other public spirited organizations became aware of the need of improving and enlarging their own communities. This awakening to the advantages which were to …
History Of Richmond As A Port City, Myrtle Elizabeth Callahan
History Of Richmond As A Port City, Myrtle Elizabeth Callahan
Master's Theses
The purpose of this study has been to trace the evolution and course of Richmond as a port city from its beginning date, its period of gradual growth, the years of peak activity in the nineteenth century, the beginning of its decline in world trade, the subsequent renaissance of the port, followed by a recent decline at the present time, pointing out factors which brought it about and contributed to each of these stages.
A Treatment Of Plant Life In Eighteenth-Century Poetry, William Melvin Maxey
A Treatment Of Plant Life In Eighteenth-Century Poetry, William Melvin Maxey
Master's Theses
A critic of English literature, writing about nature in poetry, has said that the subject-matter ot poetry may be divided into three main groups: man, God, and nature. This paper is primarily concerned with the last division, and more especially with a treatment of plant life in eighteenth-century poetry. Such a treatment must of necessity require wide reading and careful selection of the material to be covered, since the chief aim of the writer is to present the subject in such a manner that it is representative of the whole period of English poetry from 1700 to 1800.
Ernest Hemingway, A Writer Of Episodes, Robert Alexander Chermside Jr.
Ernest Hemingway, A Writer Of Episodes, Robert Alexander Chermside Jr.
Master's Theses
In this thesis my purpose is to analyze and review some of Hemingway's episodes and short scenes, which I believe to be his most valuable work, in order that their value may become evident. I then intend to show that the author's novels are in most cases dependent on these episodes for their literary success. In accomplishing this, it would be useless to consider everything Hemingway has written. I shall deal only with his fiction and shall confine myself to selections which most amply illustrate my point.
An Introduction To The Poetry Of T.S. Eliot : A Selective Handbook, Jean Katherine Collins
An Introduction To The Poetry Of T.S. Eliot : A Selective Handbook, Jean Katherine Collins
Master's Theses
T. S. Eliot, one of the most discussed poets of our time, has registered a deep and sincere concern for the plight of modern society. That concern is mirrored in his poetry where he has spoken his message to those who will hear it. He seems to have put a supersensitive finger on the pulse of the world's ills, and has suggested what he believes to be the only solution.
A Comparative Investigation Of Personality Characteristics Among Crippled And Non-Crippled Children, James Gustav Plackis
A Comparative Investigation Of Personality Characteristics Among Crippled And Non-Crippled Children, James Gustav Plackis
Master's Theses
It was the purpose ot this study to determine, by means of two different objective personality inventories, what significant differences, it any, exist in certain specific areas of personality adjustment between an experimental group of twenty-tour crippled children and an equated, non-crippled control group. The areas of personality integration studied were social maladjustment, personal inferiority, family maladjustment, insecurity, irritability, and daydreaming.
Ellen Glasgow's Virginia : The Background Of Her Novels, Ruth Jones Wilkins
Ellen Glasgow's Virginia : The Background Of Her Novels, Ruth Jones Wilkins
Master's Theses
Ellen Glasgow's native state, the Commonwealth of Virginia, was a constituent portion of her. "I am Virginian in every drop of my blood and pulse of my heart...," she said. With her Virginia she wove a rich background for her novels. At times the cloth was homespun like the background of the Burrs in THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE; at other times it was of a finer texture as in VIRGINIA; yet again it was a rich tapestry for people like the Archibalds in THE SHELTERED LIFE.
Ellen Glasgow has contributed to world literature, in polished, exquisite form, an unbiased …
The University Of Richmond And Her War Effort, 1939-1945, Robert Richard Shotzberger
The University Of Richmond And Her War Effort, 1939-1945, Robert Richard Shotzberger
Master's Theses
On December 7, 1941, the Japanese made their sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, and the United States was at war. This marked the second time within a quarter of a century, and the fifth time in the history of the University, that war clouds hovered over the United States. During World War I, the University vacated its new campus (the present site) in favor of the United States War Department. The campus and all of the buildings were used for hospital purposes. Thousands of soldiers, wounded on the Western Front, were hospitalized in the buildings on the new campus. These …
Buggs Island Dam, First Of The Roanoke River Projects, Jayne Hathaway Cosby
Buggs Island Dam, First Of The Roanoke River Projects, Jayne Hathaway Cosby
Master's Theses
The purpose of this paper is to give a comprehensive picture of the history, setting and effects of tha Federal Dam now being constructed at the site of Buggs Island in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, In writing this assay I have attempted to bring out the historical and evolutionary aspects of the dam rather than the technical aspects of its construction.
The completion of this dam at Buggs Island and the sub-sequent flooding of this area will mark a great step forward in the history of both Virginia and North Carolina. Many controversies still rage around its construction. The final outcome …
A Study Of The Metaphysical Categories Of Charles Sanders Peirce, Oscar Edwyn Luttrell
A Study Of The Metaphysical Categories Of Charles Sanders Peirce, Oscar Edwyn Luttrell
Master's Theses
Little is known about the life of Charles Sanders Peirce and perhaps even less about his system and place in the history of American philosophical thought. Somewhat superficially we recognize that he influenced the pragmatism of William James, but even here, were the facts known, the influence would be exceedingly remote, owing to James's own misinterpretation of' Peirce's leading ideas. Prof. Perry says that: "Perhaps it would be correct, and just to all parties, to say that the modern movement known as pragmatism is largely the result of James's misunderstanding of Peirce." James himself at one time stated that Peirce …
The Public Campaign Of The 1949 Virginia Democratic Gubernatorial Primary, William O. Hester
The Public Campaign Of The 1949 Virginia Democratic Gubernatorial Primary, William O. Hester
Master's Theses
That the South possesses a one-party system of choosing its state and national representatives is an axiom of Anericnn politics . On only three occasions since 1880 have Southern presidential electors cast their votes for any nominee other than that of the Democratic Party. On only four occasions in this period has a Governor of a Southern State been elected on any but a Democratic ticket. This record is convincing testimony that in the States of the late Confederacy the nominees of the Democratic Party are in reality the only candidates having any probability of election.
It would therefore behoove …
From Limbo To The World Of Light : An Examination Of The Novels Of Aldous Huxley, Walter A. Bass
From Limbo To The World Of Light : An Examination Of The Novels Of Aldous Huxley, Walter A. Bass
Master's Theses
The line between literature and philosophy is not sharply defined, and it is never quite certain where one leaves off end the other begins. It is possible to avoid the problem altogether, if it is a problem. The Critique of Pure Reason is convincing proof that literary considerations may be avoided entirely in philosophic writing. Poe championed the other extreme, but the isolation of literature has not often been successful, and on the whole, it is perhaps justifiable to claim that literature must be a criticism of life; that is, it must have philosophic content.
From the critical point of …
The Migration Into Richmond (1775 To 1860), Ada May Land
The Migration Into Richmond (1775 To 1860), Ada May Land
Master's Theses
Richmond has today become one or the most important cities in the South. The foundation was laid for this early in its history. In 1775 Richmond was a village of only a few houses; in 1860 it was a growing city.The story o! the years between 1775 and 1860 is tied up closely with the story or the migration or people into Richmond and with their lives as they helped to develop the capital or Virginia.
I have in this paper attempted to show the trend of migration into Richmond from 1775 to 1860 and to show the important part …
The Travels Of Lord Byron, Maxwell Rock Schools
The Travels Of Lord Byron, Maxwell Rock Schools
Master's Theses
It is the purpose of this work to present a concise manner the record of the travels of Lord Byron. His travels are the most important part of his life, because he spent the major part of his adult life in foreign lands, and his journeys are responsible for his great poetic creations.
The Sociological Implications Of Women's Fashions In The Crinoline Era (1840-1860), Margaret Ruth Brinson
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 …
A Chapter In The History Of Orange County, Virginia, William Livingston Kirby
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 …
