Miscellaneous Documents

Otto Huth writes to Wolfram Sievers requesting an increase in salary. He begins by questioning the rule that all department heads possess the venia legendi, offering counterexamples. He then states as acting head of department he should receive the same salary as an appointed head of department. He describes his current work and the expenses needed for its completion, stating that an increase in salary is required. Moreover, he had been forced to spend time and energy on literary endeavors rather than his scientific Ahnenerbe pursuits. He ends by pointing out the recognition he had received for his methodology in …

Miscellaneous Documents

Heinrich Harmjanz writes an emphatic letter against a research grant for Dr. Misch Orend. He writes that Orend has ties with the Romanian political police and works against the German community in Romania, having been shunned by prominent Germans in Transylvania. Additionally, Harmjanz rejects Orend as a dilettante and a slacker and states that he only uses research grants for subsistence rather than conducting actual scientific work.

The French Revolution And Its Effect On 18th Century Europe, Ralph Renzel

Bachelors’ Theses

The France of the old regime was a very great and ancient structure -in building which fifty generations had been engaged for more than fifteen centuries. Each of these generations had left its mark upon it, always adding to the work of the past and hardly ever pulling down or removing anything. Moreover, its plan was confused, its styles were incongruous, and its parts lacked proportion. Some portions had been abandoned and threatened to fall into ruin; others were inconvenient; others were too luxurious. But, taking it all in all, the total effect was rich, the facade was imposing, and …

Soviet Russia: An Interpretation, John J. Heeren

Open Learning Resources, General/Selected

Summary

This paper offers an interpretation of Soviet Russia, based upon several weeks of direct observation and investigation conducted in the summer of 1932. The Soviet Union presents itself as a colossal experiment in recasting human society along Marxian lines. The following pages examine both the philosophical underpinnings of Communism and the visible outworking of this revolutionary transformation. Impressive industrial centers reflect a Planned Economy of great ambition, yet marred by shortages, inefficiencies, and a reliance upon capitalistic methods such as piecework and wage incentives. Visible wealth and inequality have been replaced with widespread, uniform poverty. In the countryside, collectivization …

The Earl Of Beaconsfield And The Eastern Policy 1875-1878, With Special Emphasis On The Congress Of Berlin 1878, Henry Raymond Radosevich

Bachelors’ Theses

In the year 1875 a grave crisis occurred in the Turkish Empire. This crisis was but one of the many problems presented to European diplomats of the nineteenth century in solving international crises. This was the reoccurrence of spasmodic revolutionary movements peculiar to nineteen century Europe. The difficulties of the Turkish Empire came from within, hence internal. With the corruption of the Turkish Government came the challenging of certain European peoples of the Balkan Hegemony of the Sultan.

A Social And Intellectual Interpretation Of European History From The Thirteenth Century Through The Age Of Napolean, Laurence Joseph Younce

Bachelors’ Theses

One of ·the most outstanding features of this century, called by Walsh "the greatest of centuries'', is the steady decline it exhibits of the power of the Holy Roman Empire. The causes for this decline were as numerous as inexorable: there was (1) a well-nigh insuperable combination of physical difficulties in the way of effective unity, (2) a disintegrating rise of differing national consciousnesses among the component parts of the Empire, (3) the anarchic tendencies of feudalism, (4) the influence of the contemporaneous Commercial Revolution through the rise of the city states, (5) the rise of the nation states of …

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 …

The Embassy Of Everaard Van Weede, Lord Of Dykvelt, To England In 1687, James Muilenburg

University Studies (University of Nebraska) (1888–1984)

The importance of the embassy of Everaard van Weede, Lord of Dykvelt, to England in 1687, has been variously estimated by the many historians of the Revolution of 1688. Bishop Burnet, who played an important role in all the counsels of William and acted as the spiritual minister to Mary, speaks intimately of the whole affair. He gives an account of the mission which purports to be as he had it from the envoy himself. In Burnet's opinion the embassy may from one point of view be looked upon as a failure, for its ostensible objects were not attained. But …

The Meeting Of The Estates-General, 1789: The Union Of The Three Orders, June 24 To June 27, Jeanette Needham

University Studies (University of Nebraska) (1888–1984)

The calling of the estates-general for 1789 marked the culmination of a long and bitter struggle between the king and the privileged orders, caused chiefly by the financial embarrassment of the country. The victory over the king was the signal for.a still more bitter conflict between the third estate and the privileged classes over the organization of the estates-general. It was continued after the formal opening of the estates in May, 1789, under the guise of a new contest, over the manner of verifi€ation of credentials. Although outwardly but a matter of parliamentary procedure, this question in reality veiled that …
