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 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.

A History Of The County Court In Virginia, D S. Rubenstein
Honors Theses
The county court is among the most colorful institutions in Virginia history. Coming into existence a few years after the birth of the colony, it remained almost unchanged in its general character up until the time of the Civil War. Not only was it the keystone about which the administration of local justice was build, but it possessed important legislative and executive functions.

A Study Of Fifty-Seven Returned Missionaries Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints In Idaho Stake Of Bannock County, Idaho, 1935-36, Reed G. Probst
Theses and Dissertations
One may well wonder how these missionaries adjust themselves again to their daily routine of life. What is the religious, economic, and educational status of these returned missionaries? The purpose, therefore, of this study is to discover facts which might show the present religious, economic, and educational status of fity-seven returned missionaries of Idaho Stake in Bannock County, Idaho.
Associated with these aspects under study are certain beliefs and practices to which the present reaction of the missionary is reported. Because of the very nature of the questions asked, the writer discovered the inability of the respondent in some cases …
William Taylor : Organizer And Statesman, Thomas Mee
William Taylor : Organizer And Statesman, Thomas Mee
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
To the average layman of the present day, as well as the majority of the new generation of ministers, the name of William Taylor rarely carries the deep impression that his labors justify. From the standpoint of the American Continents, this observation may have more in fact than in other parts of the world where his labors were more abundant in term of years devoted to the building of a more worthy civilization.
With a view to making more accessible the thrilling account of this truly noble Christian Statesman, much research has been made. In doing so, it is hoped …
The Christian Thought Of Doctor Toyohiko Kagawa And His Social Works And Movements, Eiichi Iimura
The Christian Thought Of Doctor Toyohiko Kagawa And His Social Works And Movements, Eiichi Iimura
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The world recognizes Toyohiko Kagawa as the St. Francis of Japan. His heart is one of pure love like that of St. Francis, but his battle has not been carried on by means of the sermon in a religious denomination. With a heart of love Kagawa has stood in the streets and would save the lives of the people. This is because he was born in 20th century Japan and not in Italy of the Middle Ages.
Fifteen hundred years after the fall of ancient Rome the world once more is about to undergo a mighty change. At this time …

The Big Navy Idea In The United States Since The World War, Ray Gladstone Lawrence
The Big Navy Idea In The United States Since The World War, Ray Gladstone Lawrence
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
While there has been a steady movement toward disarmament, and for limitation in this and other lands, with peace pacts to prevent war, naval agreements, treaties and similar moves, there is still a definite need for consideration of our naval defenses. In this discussion, a compilation of public opinions and tendencies, as found in publications, I will tend to show there is considerable interest in our Navy.
This material is not projected as an argument against reasonable limitations, nor an attack: on those advocating; but to reproduce a part of the attitudes of public writing and speaking of our people. …

History Of The Supreme Court Of Appeals Of Virginia, Richard C. Poage
History Of The Supreme Court Of Appeals Of Virginia, Richard C. Poage
Honors Theses
This paper is an attempt to describe in brief compass the evolution of the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals since its beginning in the year 1779. This period, which historically began with the Virginia Constitution in 1776 and extends to the present day, is truly modern history. The problems which it solved and the problems which it left unsolved are of vital concern to the present generation.
It is obvious that such a subject as the one chosen is one about which volumes could well be written; but such a task would requite a great deal of time and a …

The Public Life And Achievements Of James Duval Phelan, Jean Tully
The Public Life And Achievements Of James Duval Phelan, Jean Tully
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
As a figure in the American period of California history, Mr. James D. Phelan's achievements were an outstanding example of what an honest man can do in politics. First of all, I have endeavored to show his contributions to the city of San Francisco. There is hardly any field of San Francisco life in which James D. Phelan did not leave a tremendous influence. The politics of his term as mayor were a shining model of clean and progressive measures.
As senator he kept the interest of California at heart. Through his work at the World's Columbian Exposition, he made …
Captain Charles Maria Weber, Pioneer, J. T. Aungst
Captain Charles Maria Weber, Pioneer, J. T. Aungst
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
I have chosen to portray the life of a man about whom no book has been written. His very name is known to few outside of San Joaquin County, yet his part in laying the foundation for an American California, and developing a goodly portion of it, was considerable.
NOTE: The copy of this thesis was poor and difficult to scan. We apologize for the quality of the text.
A History Of Elko, Nevada : A Frontier Town, 1868-1890, Lester W. Mills
A History Of Elko, Nevada : A Frontier Town, 1868-1890, Lester W. Mills
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this paper is to present in brief form, far too brief for the wealth of material available, an account of the history of the town of Elko, Nevada. There has been no attempt to include in these pages all the interesting events which are traditional in the gossip of the town. Every effort has been made to include only such material as can be readily verified either by the memories of those still living who remember the events or, in cases where this has bailed or there has been an evident conflict of stories, by resort to …
An Historic Account Of Music Criticism And Music Critics In Utah, Basil Hansen
An Historic Account Of Music Criticism And Music Critics In Utah, Basil Hansen
Theses and Dissertations
My purpose in making a study of music criticism in Utah is to realize a reliable historical account of criticism as expressed by means of journals and the growth of music within the state. This study, it is granted, is not a complete history of music in Utah. It merely treats one phase of a yet unwritten history.
A secondary interest is to defend the assertion that Utah has had music criticism and not to eulogize or deride the music pioneers of the state. It may also impress the need of constructive criticism to insure the stimulus and incentive necessary …
A Study Of The Revolt In Modern American Literature As Seen In The Novel, Poetry, And Prose Fiction, Dovie Viola Ross
A Study Of The Revolt In Modern American Literature As Seen In The Novel, Poetry, And Prose Fiction, Dovie Viola Ross
Master's Theses
Since the earliest time that the human mind has been known to function it has played with two opposite conceptions ---all is fixed – all is changing. These two conceptions, affording the bases for opposing schools in philosophy and politics and supplying direction for the social forces of conservatism and radicalism, have naturally influenced our interpretation and theories of literature.

Cross Section Of Maine History At The Time Of The Separation From Massachusetts, Harold Howard Inman
Cross Section Of Maine History At The Time Of The Separation From Massachusetts, Harold Howard Inman
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This paper is intended to present a picture of Maine as it was in 1820, at the time of the separation from Massachusetts. I have endeavored to give a cross-section of the state just at the time it was taking a place among the more mature council, known as the United States. Maine had been for a long time under the tutelage of Massachusetts, but now felt able to strike out on its own.
In 1820 Maine presents an interesting picture. It is a good period of which to make a sketch for the state was entering upon the new …
Source Materials On The History And Development Of The San Joaquin River And The Stockton Deep Water Project, J. Norman Wenger
Source Materials On The History And Development Of The San Joaquin River And The Stockton Deep Water Project, J. Norman Wenger
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
It has been the object of the writer to compile as complete a bibliography, as the time allowed, on the History of the Deep Water Project at Stockton, California.
...
The thesis proper has been directed to cover the major attempts to deepen the water channel from Stockton to San Francisco. Much of this material is not in a form to be readily accessible to the layman so I have included a great deal of it in the form of an Appendix; thus bringing it together, but not making it necessary for the reader to review it unless he or …
The Relation Of French Poetry And Painting To The Development Of French Impressionistic Music, Phyllis Elaine Threlfall
The Relation Of French Poetry And Painting To The Development Of French Impressionistic Music, Phyllis Elaine Threlfall
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
As far as the writer could find in her reading no one has ever written a finished study of this phase of Music, Art, and Literature. Of course, there are hints of it here and there in many books, but in no one in particular was a detailed study given. Paul Landormy’s book, A History of Music, seemed to carry the heart of the subject, however, in an extremely miniature style.
When we think of French music, our minds are generally centered in Paris, for it is here that the greatest organizations have been sponsored, and the important musical ideas …
A Thesis On The Constitutional History Of The American Negro From 1776 To 1875, Clothilde Labat
A Thesis On The Constitutional History Of The American Negro From 1776 To 1875, Clothilde Labat
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation
In a democracy there should never have been an occasion whereby the enactment of a separate and distinct legislation was necessary for welfare of land and its people. Democratic principles as pronounced from the preamble of the constitution of the United States of America should have been the grounds sufficient for prohibiting the development of forces which eventually led to written end unwritten legislation for a cross section of the population.

The History Of The American Fruit Industry In The Caribbean, Oliver Eller Irons
The History Of The American Fruit Industry In The Caribbean, Oliver Eller Irons
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The Caribbean countries have attracted increasing interest from students of American political history and the more their history is investigated, the more do we realize the growing significance of the role played by American capital in the development of their industries. The literature of tropical agriculture is coming to be more extensively available but until only recently has this subject received slight attention from our writers. The concentration of any attention on the fruit phase of tropical agriculture by American students of history and economics has been nearly wholly lacking, as well as receiving only scant attention from writers not …

Intervention Of The United States In Nicaragua Since 1909, Louise Floyd
Intervention Of The United States In Nicaragua Since 1909, Louise Floyd
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The twentieth century is revealing a steady increase in the influence of the United States in the Caribbean region, both in politics and economic development. The arm of America has been gradually forcing out the European nations. Counting colonies and protectorates, the United States has under its supervision a greater Caribbean population than the population of the thirteen colonies at the time of the Declaration of Independence. In trade the United States is the best customer of Central America and the West Indies. The region is one of the chief sources of our raw-materials imports.
The majority of the citizens …
