The Role Of Winston Churchill In The First World War, Olaf Ottesen Brandt Aug 1941

The Role Of Winston Churchill In The First World War, Olaf Ottesen Brandt

Theses and Dissertations

In writing this thesis I have emphasized the qualities of vigor, ability and foresight that Churchill showed to such a statesmanlike degree in the last war, also the special technical training in ships, tanks, planes and their use that he gained. I have endeavored to point out in what ways these have qualified him for his role as Prime Minister of England in the present war. I have brought out his connections with American life through his family, his books and lectures, and his work as munitions minister. I have tried to show that this has affected American public opinion …

History Of "Poetry: A Magazine Of Verse" And Its Contribution To Modern Poetry, Irma R. Bengtson

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to present a history of "Poetry: A Magazine of Verse" and to show its contribution to modern poetry. The volumes of the magazine, the writings of the founder, Harriet Monroe, and criticisms from contemporary literary critics were read and used as sources for the history of "Poetry" and its contribution. From the study it was found that the poets of the last two decades of the nineteenth century had followed too closely the patterns used by the past generations to present the new life which was at hand. As a consequence poetry had reached …

In this thesis I have given summaries and characterizations of the women characters in Eugene Gladstone O' Neill's plays of more than one act in the order of their writing. At the close of the summarizations and characterizations of the individual plays I have attempted to classify the women characters according to their personality types and their moral traits. All the plays with the exception of six, Bread and Butter, Servitude, Second Engineer or The Personal Equation, Now I Ask You, Ancient Mariner, and S.S. Glencairn are included in this study. These six plays were not available to me. I …


There Were Thirteen: A Pioneer Novel Of Western Kansas, Gwen Lane Funston Jul 1941

There Were Thirteen: A Pioneer Novel Of Western Kansas, Gwen Lane Funston

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

In my thesis, I wish to present the story of my maternal grandmother as it is revealed in the lives of her thirteen children. I have been interested in the story since I can remember. My earliest memories are of sitting on Grandma’s lap and listening to tales of Indians on the warpath, of Kansas prairie sod houses and rattlesnakes, and of what my aunts, uncles, and my mother used to do when they were small. To avoid any possible embarrassment to living persons, I have fictionized the names of my characters. I have, however, retained all actual dates and …

Tom Plumb, A Novel, Gwendolyn Dimmitt

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

This is a true story, as far as actual dates and the verification of the incidents is concerned. The writer has filled in the conversation and the human interest bits as it seemed the people of that day might have talked or acted. Mr. Plumb is a true character, and the story of his life is given according to the facts as the writer was able to find them. That Mr. Plumb was a typical, and yet individual character, is proved by the fact that one year before his death he was chosen by the Red Willow County, Nebraska, Pioneer …

Ellsworth, Kansas : The History Of A Frontier Town, 1854-1885, John Choitz Jul 1941

Ellsworth, Kansas : The History Of A Frontier Town, 1854-1885, John Choitz

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

Frontier towns have developed along the same pattern. First, a lawless element ruled the locality with its threat of sudden death. Dead men, carried out with their boots on, gave mute proof to the skeptical that such threats were not idly given. Next, enterprising citizens, organizing in the dead of the night, brought some respect for decency and order by swinging one end of a rope over a projecting limb of a cottonwood tree and knotting the other end around the neck of a lawless ringleader. Then justice courts and law officers were introduced as the civilized - though many …

A Historical Sketch Of The Border Troubles In Bourbon And Linn Counties, Kansas, 1854-1860, Wayne Delavan Jul 1941

A Historical Sketch Of The Border Troubles In Bourbon And Linn Counties, Kansas, 1854-1860, Wayne Delavan

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

Border troubles got a late start in the southeastern section of Kansas Territory. The free-state cause had attained a slight supremacy in the territory by the time these troubles were well developed in Bourbon and Linn Counties. This loss of the territorial government perhaps made pro-slavery partisans more bitter and less reasonable than they should have been. Some of the worst elements of the earlier struggle in the north drifted into this section. Examples of these can be given in George W. Clark and John Brown. Others who lacked a proper respect for life and property plus a distinct desire …


Sentimental Elements In The Writings Of Henry Fielding, Edna G. Roberts Jun 1941

Sentimental Elements In The Writings Of Henry Fielding, Edna G. Roberts

English Language and Literature ETDs

It is the purpose of this study to discuss the sentimental elements in the writings of Henry Fielding. There is no doubt that, for the most part, even a casual examination of Fielding's writings justifies the classification commonly assigned to him by his readers, that of intellectual realist. But it would be surprising if a man who was as sensitive to the temper of his time as was Fielding, could live in an age in which sentimentalism was becoming increasingly apparent, not only in the major literary genres of the period, but in the religion and philosophy as well, and …

A Study Of The Life And Works Of Charles Fletcher Lummis, Esther Gardner Jun 1941

A Study Of The Life And Works Of Charles Fletcher Lummis, Esther Gardner

English Language and Literature ETDs

It would be difficult to find a more interesting, versatile and colorful character than Charles Fletcher Lummis. His life was full of thrilling adventures and experiences with all different types of humanity. His great purpose was to bring the glories of the West to the smug East. "See America First" was one of his slogans. He believed that many people wished to see only the scenery and monuments of Europe, yet in their own country, there lay greater charms and a culture that was as ancient as the culture of the Greeks. One of the things said about him that …


The Writings Against The Adoption Of The Constitution, Henry E. Cake Jun 1941

The Writings Against The Adoption Of The Constitution, Henry E. Cake

Honors Theses

It is a small wonder that when delegates were sent to Philadelphia to consider forming a national or federal government that would be the supreme power binding the thirteen states together into one great unit that there was opposition to the formulation of a constitution and even greater - or at least more numerous - objections to phraseology and fundamental ideas of each article at every step of the formulatin gprocess. While there were one or two of the opposition who appear as cranks and chronic objectors, it seems that most of the membres of the opposition to the adoption …


George Wythe : A Biographical Sketch, Harold G. Owens Jun 1941

George Wythe : A Biographical Sketch, Harold G. Owens

Honors Theses

George Wythe is not nearly as well known or appreciated by Virginians as he should be. It is surprising how little has been done in Virginia in remembrance of him, who left so much for his state and for his country. In this thesis, which is more than an eulogy, I have attempted to show just how important George Wythe was to the development of our state and to the growth of the American Republic. If this paper ever finds its way into the hands of one reader who has never heard of George Wythe, its purpose will have been …
