A History Of The Review And Herald Publishing Association., Carl Bruce Mosher

The History Of The Slate Industry In Buckingham County, Virginia, Laurie Pitts Jones Apr 1948

The History Of The Slate Industry In Buckingham County, Virginia, Laurie Pitts Jones

Master's Theses

No one has ever published a history of the Slate industry in Buckingham County, Virginia. Many geologists and newspaper correspondents have written from time to time, short articles and technical descriptions of various phases of the Buckingham slate industry, but all of the related published material that I have had access to has been somewhat sketchy and inaccurate. Consequently, this essay is an attempt to fill, in a comprehensive manner, another of the numerous gaps in the economic and industrial history of Virginia.

David Vincent Dickenson, A Soldier Of The Confederacy., Stuart Sydnor Walden Jan 1948

David Vincent Dickenson, A Soldier Of The Confederacy., Stuart Sydnor Walden

Master's Theses

In March 1778, there enlisted in the Continental Army a young man, Griffith Dickenson, who was later the grandfather of David Vincent Dickenson.

This young man had been born in Hanover County, Virginia, on August 8, 1757. However, only a comparatively few years of his life were spent at the place of his birth. There was an unfortunate second marriage of Griffith's father which led to his departure, at the age of twelve, from the paternal home. Refuge was found in the home of a kind-hearted mechanic where Griffith worked as a helper, or assistant, until he was eighteen years …


Youth Work In A Rural Church, Verna Gertrude Palmer Jan 1948

Youth Work In A Rural Church, Verna Gertrude Palmer

Master's Theses

Youth work has been an important part of the activity of churches. Most of the studies about it and most of the programs for young people, however, seem to concern town and city churches more than rural churches.

It is my purpose in this paper to present a study of the work that is being done with and for young people in rural churches in Virginia. First a survey will be made of conditions which contribute to the problems of youth work in rural churches in general. Then the youth activities and problems of churches in Virginia will be considered. …

The Church had been cleansed of the Roman element, the Puritans were working within the Church, the civil government protected the Church and the people respected her.

Thomas Hood : Poet, Social Thinker, Comedian, Ernest W. Mooney Jr Jun 1947

Thomas Hood : Poet, Social Thinker, Comedian, Ernest W. Mooney Jr

Master's Theses

Although Thomas Hood lived an uneventful and somewhat undramatic life, it was not entirely fruitless. His unparalleled misfortune in health and economy was scarcely offset by a felicitous family life; but his poetry--some inane, some mediocre, some excellent--balanced an otherwise pathetic existence. There has been no conscious attempt in this paper to present Thomas as an undiscovered genius. His works and his life have been evaluated for their peculiar merit alone, but a study of those has revealed points hitherto vague and misunderstood as well as forgotten.

As a writer of unmitigated fun, Thomas Hood is hardly excelled. Where he …

The Influence Of Plato On Philo, Ephraim Shimoff May 1946

The Influence Of Plato On Philo, Ephraim Shimoff

Master's Theses

Very little is known about the life of Philo-Judaeus of Alexandria, but from his writings we see that he was one of the most spiritually-minded thinkers of his time. He came from an influencial Jewish family and was trained in Greek as well as in Jewish learning. A citizen of the place which was at once the chief heme of the Jewish Dispersion and the chief censer of Hellenistic culture, he owes his position in the history of religious thought which we find in his voluminous writings, to that remarkable fusion of Judaism and Hellenism. He sought to bring harmony …

A Comparison Of Walt Whitman And Carl Sandburg, Henrietta Sadler Jan 1945

A Comparison Of Walt Whitman And Carl Sandburg, Henrietta Sadler

Master's Theses

Walt Whitman and Carl Sandburg - two men from different sections of the country, from different centuries - have captured the heart of life. They have sung bravely the songs which guide men to the best of life. They saw the good in the evil, and they were willing to accept the evil so that they might have its good. But they were not content to lot the evil remain - the evil of man's inhumanity to man must be abolished. The two poets have taken the powerful medium of poetry and with steady words and strong sentences they have …


The Attempt To Build A Town At Westham, Anne Skinner Jan 1945

The Attempt To Build A Town At Westham, Anne Skinner

Honors Theses

The history of the region of Westham is largely the history of the fortunes of William Randolph and his descendants. Virginia's gain was great when the first William Randolph, a young man of twenty-two, lett England in 1673 and settled on the banks of the James at Turkey Island. Randolph was a gentleman of an old Northampton family and he quickly gained social and political prominence. His position was heightened when he married Mary Isham, the daughter of Henry Isham who owned Bermuda Hundred. In his first year in Virginia William Randolph succeeded his uncle, Henry Randolph, as clerk of …
