A Study Of The Trial Justice Court Of Henrico County, Joseph A. Alexander

Honors Theses

I will be frank in admitting that it was with the greatest misgivings that I accepted the assignment to make a study of the Henrico Trial Justice Court. The work laid out before me was in Virgin territory for, to the best of my knowledge, no study similar to that which I contemplated has been undertaken before. Thus, it was only natural for me to visualize the problems which would beset me, the unfamiliar legal terms which would puzzle one and the dreary court scenes which would leave me drunk with their monotony. Well, I came to the problems, saw …

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 Last Battle Of The War Between The States, Edward J. Norfleet

Honors Theses

The last battle of the War Between the States occurred in a vicinity particularly well adapted for the military tragedy that it was. The meandering Appomattox river found its way between hills the were high and close to the stream, making the approaches to it very difficult. It was a poor defensive position because the rear could be easily taken. Over the whole of this area grew dark pine woods, broken by scattered plantations and a few small farms. Under the circumstances the Confederates did all that could be expected.

Richmond's Miss Van Lew, Allan H. Lane

Honors Theses

Legend has it that Miss Van Lew was a spy, but there has always been a reasonable amount of doubt as to the correctness of this statement. Investigations into the sources of these rumors have been few, and then, considering the fact that Miss Van Lew was very secretive about her actions during the War Between the States, there is not much material left at the late date to reconstruct the story of her operations. However, from what material could be located, several points have been brought to light which should prove conclusively that Miss Van Lew was an agent …

The Treatment Of Sir Gawain In English Literature From Geoffrey Of Monmouth To The Twentieth Century, Bertha C. Cook

Graduate Thesis Collection

One of the greatest sources for literary productions during the Middle Ages was the material which dealt with King Arthur and his followers. These heroes were very popular, and the fame of their exploits was wide spread. As early as the eleventh century, the Arthurian stories were current in Italy, and some of the episodes were carved in a cathedral in Modena in the early twelfth century. Many romances filled with the adventures of the knights were written in France, and some of the heroes were popular in Germany.

The Contribution Of The Friends' Church To Education In Indiana, Ethel H. Mcdaniel

Graduate Thesis Collection

To investigate the rise and trace the progress of a particular section of the religious community is an interesting object.  When it has reference to a people such as the Society of Friends whose principles and practices so prominently distinguish them among others of the Christian name, the interest of such a pursuit becomes greatly enhanced.  James Bowden, History of Friends in America, Vol. I.

Camp Morton, Hattie L. Winslow

Graduate Thesis Collection

The day after Fort Sumter was fired on, groups of men in the mercantile district of Indianapolis gathered to talk war instead of business.  A mass meeting in the court house adjourned to the old Metropolitan theatre for additional room, then overflowed to the Masonic Hall across the street.

The Opening Of The Black Hills In 1876, Marie Flekke

History ETDs

In the following chapters, I shall outline the purposes and results of the government's Indian Policy in the Black Hills. It is my aim to present the history of the struggles, problems, inconsistencies, and complications in an effort to open the Black Hills to its own citizens. This account represents only one phase of the United States Indian Policy in the nineteenth century. The struggles of the red man against the exploitation of the white man were many and varied in their nature, but the more powerful white man ultimately successful in achieving his aim.

The Francisco Villa Raid On Columbus, New Mexico, Mary Stirrat

History ETDs

Mexico, traditionally a land of revolution and bandits, and the United States, traditionally a land of democracy and wealth, have for many years presented mutual problems. This situation exists because the people of the United States do not understand their Mexican neighbors, nor do the people of Mexico understand their American neighbors. A small group of scientific men in the United States understand and know the Mexican people; a still smaller group of Mexicans understand the American people. Probably politicians, newspaper men, and financiers, because of personal interests, are not to be found in this group; President Wilson may have …

The Birth And Growth Of Indo-Anglian Literature And Its Contributions To English Literature, Marie O'Loughlin

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Western civilization has been influenced by Indian thought in two ways - one through the Greeks, and the other through modern English scholarship. The former has affected us but slightly, being the result of oral interchange, rather than of immediate literary borrowing, - thus passing only indirectly into our system. The latter is reacting upon English literature today in a manner and to an extent which seems not to have been fully realized by either the East or the West.

India still remains the western world something of a mystery, a succession of romantic and gorgeous pictures, or a fantastic …

Pottery In Fifteen Lessons, Agnes Daponte Berne

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Although the subject of pottery would appear to the layman to be one of complicated formulas and difficult technical requirements, it is possible to reduce the on- tire procedure to a series of simple, logical processes. To do this is the purpose for which this thesis has been undertaken.

It seems advisable to reduce the entire subject of elementary pottery to fifteen lessons, for two reasons. (1) The instructor who must teach the subject in one semester of eighteen weeks will be enabled by this plan to cover the subject logically and completely if she will adhere to the divisions …

A History Of The Productions Of The Little Theatre, 1933-1935, Demarcus Brown

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The growth of interest in drama and the realization of the educational value of dramatics has developed a new place for the college theatre. Pacific Little Theatre was organized eleven years ago to fulfill a definite need and has since grown slowly and steadily into a most active producing unit, serving both school and community. Indeed Pacific Little Theatre can be taken as an excellent specific example of the contribution which can be made to campus and community life by the college aside from its main function as fundamental ground for students in the theatre arts.

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. …
