A Mormon Melting Pot: Ethnicity Acculturation In Cedar City, Utah, 1880-1915, Vida Leigh

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis studies the ethnicity of the five ethnic groups found in Cedar City, Utah, during the 1880-to-1915 period. Those five groups were originally sent by Brigham Young to found the Iron Mission, as a two-fold project: (1) developing the iron mining industry, and (2) building a united community of Latter-day Saints.

The demographics, kinship, ties, marriage patterns, occupations, wealth, and elites in church government and society have been examined in detail through US censuses, Iron county assessment records, marriage records, Cedar City municipal records, LDS church records, diaries, histories, and personal histories. By comparing all the ethnic groups within …

The Effect Of Initial Leader-Group Interaction And The Moderating Influence Of Leadership Style On Group Decision-Making, Brian J. Ruggeberg

Psychology Theses & Dissertations

A total of 120 female undergraduates from Old Dominion University participated in an experiment designed to determine the effect of initial leader-group interaction on group decision-making. This leader-group interaction was manipulated by means of a structured group briefing presented by the leader. Leadership style was also manipulated to determine if it has a moderating influence on initial leader-group interaction. The "Change of Work Procedure" role-playing exercise (Maier, 1952) was used as the decision-making task. A female confederate served as the group leader, and the participants were divided into 40, three member groups. Measures of decision quality, decision acceptance, and decision-making …

The Effects Of A Program To Develop Collaboration On Teacher Interactions And Norms Of Collegiality Within The School As A Workplace, Michael E. Sicignano

Theses and Dissertations in Urban Services - Urban Management

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of the Effective Teaching Network (ETN), a program designed to develop collaboration among teachers. This study employs the pretest/posttest nonequivalent comparison group design. The treatment group (n = 75) represents an intact group of teachers who participated in the ETN pilot program. Thirty teachers participated in the direct level of treatment, and 40 teachers participated in the indirect level of treatment. The comparison group (n = 77) represents an intact group of teachers who were matched with the treatment group on teacher characteristics and pretest scores. The Professional Collegiality Questionnaire …

Commonwealth's Choice: Results From The Massachusetts Public Opinion Survey, Barry Bluestone, Mary Ellen Colten, Thomas Ferguson

McCormack Graduate School General Publications (active until 2013)

From November 11 through December 4, 1989, the Center for Survey Research of the University of Massachusetts at Boston conducted a random digit dial survey of adults aged 18 and over in Massachusetts. A total of 423 individuals were interviewed in a sampling procedure that yielded a 63 percent response rate. In contrast to most media polls, this survey was carried out over a period of four weeks permitting extensive efforts at locating and interviewing difficult-to-reach, reluctant, or less interested respondents. This survey is likely to be more representative of the true population of Massachusetts than most state polls.

Pawns, Potentates, And Parasites: Thucydides On Faction And Civil War, John Patrick Coby

Government: Faculty Publications

Thucydides offers two sustained accounts of cities torn by domestic strife, Corcyra and Athens. His analysis suggests that faction arises either from weakness or from strength. Corcyra was a dependent city, and its civil war was a function of foreign intervention; Athens was an imperial city, and its faction resulted from its own exorbitant desires and from the wear and tear of maintaining dominion. Thucydides has no easy solution to propose, but his ambivalence toward empire and his rejection of democracy point in the direction of moderation abroad and mixed government at home.

History, Historiography, And The Appraisal Of University Records, Carl Van Ness

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Rookie university archivists are ill-prepared for the responsibilities entailed in the management of an academic archives. First, there is the unique institutional setting. The unusual and varied systems of university governance make strict adherence to the paradigms for archival arrangement and description impractical at times. Second, and more vexing, is the fact that few college and university archivists are intellectually prepared. Unless the archivist is a devoted alumnus, he or she must first study the institution's history, mythology, and cultural traditions. But what of the larger academic world? Unfortunately, most archivists know little about the development of American higher education …

Exploring The New South Agenda In The Records Of Southern Colleges And Universities, Sara J. Harwell

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

On 21 December 1886, Southern editor Henry W. Grady gave a speech at New York's Delmonico's Restaurant in which he called for the South to lift itself out of its slump of poverty, backwardness, and defeatism, and make itself over into a New South. In this speech, soon to be known as the New South speech, Grady stated: "The Old South rested everything on slavery and agriculture, unconscious that these could neither give nor maintain healthy growth. The new South presents a perfect democracy, the oligarchs leading in the popular movement-a social system compact and closely knitted, less splendid on …

Short Subjects: Georgia Ghosts, Or Where Are They Now?: One Researcher's Catalog Of Georgia's Missing Historical Records, Robert S. Davis Jr.

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Ghosts haunt places like attics, old barns, and university libraries. They live in the minds of researchers seeking in frustration that missing document, pamphlet, or book mentioned in an earlier source. Even when the text of a document has survived in some form, researchers sometimes have gone to great lengths to find the original manuscript for the assurance that nothing more can be found there.

Short Subjects: Moving, Todd Ellison

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

We all move; about twenty million Americans traded places last year. Most of them trucked the furniture themselves. Archivists delight in moving no more than the next person, but their professional training and experience prepares them better than does probably anyone else's. Whether they implement their knowledge is another matter; this article describes the ideal.

Short Subjects: Suggestions For Moving University Archives, Dennis S. Taylor

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Moving archival material is, in most situations, a formidable task that requires weeks or months of preparation. Even in a college or university setting where optimal conditions supposedly prevail, moving material may still require weeks or months because individuals from levels of the organizational hierarchy, as well as the student body, are affected or involved. Whereas another type of archival repository might shut down for the duration of a move, a university archives (located more than likely within a library) cannot, because it serves users who want ready access to the holdings. A quick and efficient move is, therefore, in …

Case Marking Strategies In Kope, John M. Clifton

Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session

From the introduction: "In this paper I will examine case marking strategies in Kope, a Papuan language of Papua New Guinea, in light of claims made by Foley (1986:92-98). Foley makes a basic distinction between 'core' and 'peripheral' case relations in his typological study of case marking in the Papuan languages of New Guinea. Core relations include actor and undergoer, while peripheral relations include instrument, locative, and temporal. Syntactically, Foley claims that most Papuan languages have one strategy for marking core relations, and another strategy for marking peripheral relations.

"A third group of relations discussed by Foley includes the beneficiary …

Historic Resources And The Albina Community Plan, Will Harper, Clyde Dixon, Jean M. Hester, Mary Jane Melink, Kimberly S. Moreland, Jinxiang Ren, Dan Riordan, Damian Syrnyk, Dave Wadley

Master of Urban and Regional Planning Workshop Projects

The Comprehensive Planning Workshop is the capstone of the Portland State University's Master of Urban Planning program. The workshop projects are planning studies that have a practical use long after the school term is over.

Originally, the workshop intended to research Albina's history as a background piece to our main research efforts. It became clear to us that there was a rich, fascinating story to be told about Albina, one that we wished to develop and make accessible to more people. Therefore, we produced two documents, this history as a separate document, designed to stand alone, and a companion document …
