How Did College Of The Siskiyous Develop In A Politically Contested Climate In Siskiyou County?, Christopher Michael Tincher
Dissertations and Theses
Throughout its development, College of the Siskiyous (COS) has ignited much political discussion before and since the district was formed in 1957. Some of these discussions have been positive, while others have become nasty. These discussions indicate that there are differences within the county resulting mainly from regional differences. This project illustrates how these discussions and the college's development have affected the college and its residents in many ways.

Faculty Dissertations
This dissertation examines the transmission and eventual manifestation of Christian pietistic and mystical thought into the Colonial and Revolutionary lowcountry South. The facilitators of this transmission include the Continental Pietists, who were themselves heavily influenced by the mystics, and British Evangelicals such as John Wesley and George Whitefield, who, even in their public denials of mysticism, nevertheless demonstrated its strong influence in their ministries.
