Isaac Shelby: Pioneer, Soldier, Statesman, Mrs. W. E. Shirley Aug 1934

Isaac Shelby: Pioneer, Soldier, Statesman, Mrs. W. E. Shirley

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The purpose of this study is to find the hidden facts of a man who has done much to illuminate Kentucky's greatness and glory. Yet little but his name is known to the youth of the land. As death has fixed the seal of glory on his life, history should assign to him his rank. Much of the data in this sketch has been gathered from source material.


Tennessee During Secession & Reconstruction, Edward Taylor Jun 1933

Tennessee During Secession & Reconstruction, Edward Taylor

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The present work is intended as a survey of events and conditions in Tennessee during the decade from 1860 to 1870 when the entire nation was torn by sectional strife, racial antagonism, and economic and social disorder. The writer can make no pretension of having made a comprehensive or exhaustive study of the sources. That would involve a paper far beyond the scope of the present study. At best I have only scratched the surface; merely opened avenues for future study.


Franco-American Alliance During The Revolution, Charles Anthony Riedl Jun 1929

Franco-American Alliance During The Revolution, Charles Anthony Riedl

Bachelors’ Theses

In the discussion of this subject it should be borne in mind that each European country was vitally interested in the affairs of the rest of Europe. France and Spain were united by the Family Compact as both were ruled by the Bourbon dynasty. England, through her insularity, had risen to unparalleled heights. This was an era of mercantilism and colonization, and it was only a question of force and time to determine which nation should rule supreme. To prevent this, a policy was introduced into international relations, "the balance of power". To bring this about, a country would unite …

The Reforms Of The Gracchi, Marie Antoinette O'Connell Jun 1928

The Reforms Of The Gracchi, Marie Antoinette O'Connell

Bachelors’ Theses

In every decade and in every century there are certain men who stand out, so to speak, above all others. Some men are famous for literature, some for art: some are before the public because of their philanthropic work, while others are famous because of political standing.

The world has always been set, and in each decade or century different actors appeared. In our time we have men such as Governor Smith, Senator Reed constantly before the public. In the last century we had Lincoln and before Lincoln we had Washington, Jefferson, etcetera.


The Triple Entente, Richard J. Plucinski May 1927

The Triple Entente, Richard J. Plucinski

Bachelors’ Theses

There is a philosophical axiom which asserts, that all things must have their physical, adequate proportional cause. This wonderful world of ours with its wonderful beauty, with its physical laws, with its chemical properties has also its cause. Today's and yesterday's pseudo-scientists were striving to prove that this wonderful universe came into existence without a proportionate, physical and adequate cause, assuming that evolution or chance was its cause. They have met obstinate opposition, their theories were considered as imaginations and today they are covered with oblivion. And as all things have their causes in the physical world, so too in …
