The Jeffersons In America : A Study Of The Economic, Social, And Political Background Of Thomas Jefferson's Ancestors, Henry Snellings Jr.
The Jeffersons In America : A Study Of The Economic, Social, And Political Background Of Thomas Jefferson's Ancestors, Henry Snellings Jr.
Honors Theses
Why is it that some men are born and live and die, yet we never hear of them, or even know they exist; and on the other hand, one man, by merely the statement of an idea make his name immortal, and his actions unite a nation behind him and set an example for the world? Most men's graves are neglected and bare, save for the attentions of their loved ones and friends; others become a shrine reverently visited by a whole people.
A History Of The Origin And Growth Of Sandston Virginia, Paul E. Nauman
A History Of The Origin And Growth Of Sandston Virginia, Paul E. Nauman
Honors Theses
No abstract provided.
Thomas Jefferson Randolph, Democratic Leader, Jerome A. Hurwitz
Thomas Jefferson Randolph, Democratic Leader, Jerome A. Hurwitz
Master's Theses
There has been considerable time spent in writing the life and accomplishments of Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson, although he had several children, never had a son. Therefore, Thomas Jefferson Randolph, the son of Martha Jefferson Randolph, was the most direct male descendant of the second President.
However, no one has made an attempt to write the biography of the grandson . It is particularly appropriate to write his life not only because of Thomas Jefferson Randolph's famous lineage but because he was an ardent adherent to the Democratic principles of his illustrious grandfather.
The Emigration Of The French Huguenots To Virginia, Samuel W. Laughon
The Emigration Of The French Huguenots To Virginia, Samuel W. Laughon
Honors Theses
The Huguenots, though they were not known by this nomenclature until later, had their origin in France about the middle of the sixteenth century, nearly 400 years ago. As pioneers in the field of absoute libery, the Huguenots probably rendered their greatest sergvice to the world. From the beginning, their slogan has ever been: "An open Bible, freedom of conscience, political and religious liberty."
Greek And Roman Child Life As Represented In Some Greek And Latin Authors, Anne Louise Sanford
Greek And Roman Child Life As Represented In Some Greek And Latin Authors, Anne Louise Sanford
Master's Theses
In the following study I have attempted to present a picture of Greek and Roman child life as it is represented in some Greek and Latin authors. Most of my material has been derived from well known authors such as Homer, Plato, Quintilian, etc. But there has been an attempt to enlarge my scope by consulting some other Greek and Latin authors easily available in the University of Richmond Library, the Richmond Public Library and the Virginia state Library. In my general discussion I have drawn freely on available works which would be helpful for elucidation and comparison.
Economic And Social Implications Of The Southern Literary Messenger 1834-1864, James E. King
Economic And Social Implications Of The Southern Literary Messenger 1834-1864, James E. King
Honors Theses
From 1774 to 1824 Virginia played the most conspicuous role in creating and directing a union of democratic states. In 1861 there is the anomaly of the Old Dominion occupying the stellar position in an attempt to disrupt the confederation which was her hands-work. No amount of explanation as to economic interests, slavery, abolitionism or frustration seems in the last analysis, adequate in understanding this great transition. When reasonable arguments are exhausted and there is yet no central solution to the problem, there remains only the catholic element of change as a conclusion.
Reconstruction In Richmond City Government, Philip Turner King
Reconstruction In Richmond City Government, Philip Turner King
Honors Theses
By 1870 the "corner" had been rounded. The end of reconstruction was in full view and was momentarily expected. Still, the hope for the reestablishment of Virginia's former status was based entirely upon rumor. It was a period when people held their breaths. Readmission was being fought bitterly in the congress. To Sumner the election in Virginia had been just one big fraud and the state was still "smoking with rebellion.

Life Of Claude A. Swanson, J. Roland Nuckols
Life Of Claude A. Swanson, J. Roland Nuckols
Honors Theses
Claude Augustus Swanson was born at Swansonville, Pittsylvania County, Virginia on March 31, 1862. He is the son of John Muse Swanson and Catherine Pritchett. His father who was a merchant and tobacco manufacturer lost all his property in the panic of 1876. This caused Claude to have to stop his education at the age of fourteen and go to work on the farm. He worked here for two years, and did all of the manual labor incident to farm life. To many boys this would be very discouraging and would cause them to give up, but not so with …
The Two Ports Of Colonial Williamsburg, Books P. Shetter
The Two Ports Of Colonial Williamsburg, Books P. Shetter
Honors Theses
The paper is an attempt to cast light upon two Ports that were of vital importance in the colonial period of Williamsburg, and since have degenerated to mere creeks that lie close this vicinity. in writing this paper, I have tried to knit together, as closely as possible, information on these Ports from the establishing of the Ports in 1698 to around 1818 when the last attempt at progress concerning them was made. The information was not plentiful and did not run in uniformity. Therefore, in this paper one will find gaps and some problems incomplete.

The Life Of Samuel Mathews, Edward Jefferson Clary
The Life Of Samuel Mathews, Edward Jefferson Clary
Master's Theses
My purpose in writ1ng this paper came from the realization that the activities or many prominent men in the Colony during the early period of Virginia's history have been neglected by all historians. Realizing this fact, I am writing this paper with the purpose of better understanding and appreciating more the work which these men did. Samuel Mathews was the most prominent of these men and by looking at his life and activities, we can fully realize and appreciate the work which these men did. By looking at the life of Mathews, we can understand this whole period of Virginia …

The development of the Valley of the Great Kanawha River has been rapid and has not as yet reached its peake in growth. The Valley has been richly endowed with abundance of raw material and the facilities for the changing or these materials into useful commodities. Along with the growth of the industry comes civic growth and it is these growth that I wish to present in this monograph.

The Element Of Experience In The Poetry Of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Bernard Marshall White-Hurst
The Element Of Experience In The Poetry Of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Bernard Marshall White-Hurst
Master's Theses
Coleridge is generally recognized as a highly imaginative poet. Students are too prone therefore to regard his poetry as directly the product of his active imagination. It is the object of this study to show instead that his poetry is based largely upon his actual experiences. I have attempted to demonstrate this fact by giving supply the facts of Coleridge's life, as fully in detail as I have been able to ascertain them, and by correlating them with certain references and materials in his poems. The selections have been grouped according to biographical chronology rather than sequences of composition, which …

The county court is among the most colorful institutions in Virginia history.

Not only was it the keystone about which the administration of local justice was build, but it possessed important legislative and executive functions.
The Council Of Colonial Virginia : 1700-1750, Esther Campbell Walsh
The Council Of Colonial Virginia : 1700-1750, Esther Campbell Walsh
Honors Theses
1660 is the date conveniently accepted as marking the turn of Virginia society away from its early democratic character. After that date, colonial society became clearly stratified, and by the turn of the century had received its set firmly in the mold of aristocracy. The institution in which all the elements of aristocracy concentrated was the Governor's Council, which exhibited social, political, and economic power centered in the hands of a ruling few. The period from 1700 to 1750 is the high tide of councillor power. In the years before 1700, the steady rise of its power was interrupted by …
Immortality In Recent Philosophies, Paul Harold Kubik
Immortality In Recent Philosophies, Paul Harold Kubik
Master's Theses
The problem of immortality has challenged man kind from the earliest dawn of civilization.A belief in some sort of immortality has had, with but few exceptions, a universal adherence.Even modern man, having the know ledge of multitudinous contributions of preceding generations concerning immortality, continues to ponder over the problem as much as ever. Much discussion has concerned itself with a life beyond death, and the diverse beliefs ensuing indicate that the problem is truly a riddle of immense depth and complexity.It has aroused the thought or both great and small men; it has challenged their way of living, enabling them …
