The main intent is to aid instructors in their own lesson preparation, so most of the language and information is geared towards the adult, and not the student. It is not expected that all the information given will be used or that all activities are applicable to all settings. Teachers and/or parents can choose the elements that best meet the specific needs of their individual situations. Our hope is that the information will be useful, spark ideas, and make connections.

But like most great institutions of higher learning, Northeastern had modest origins. At the end of the nineteenth century, immigrants and first-generation Americans constituted more than half of Boston’s population. Chief among the city’s institutions committed to helping these people improve their lives was the Boston YMCA. The YMCA became a place where young men gathered to hear lectures on literature, history, music, and other subjects considered essential to intellectual growth. In response to the enthusiastic demand for these lectures, the directors of the YMCA organized the “Evening Institute for Young Men” in May 1896. Frank Palmer Speare, a well- known teacher and high-school principal with considerable experience in the public schools, was hired as the institute’s director.

  • 1944 All-American Girls Baseball League

    1944 All-American Girls Baseball League

    HISTORY MAKER BASEBALL 1944 All-American Girls Professional Baseball League One of the top movies of 1992 was the film “A League of Their Own,” starring Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Rosie O’Donnell and Madonna, a story about a women’s professional baseball league formed during World War II. The movie was a critical and commercial success, earning glowing reviews, topping the box office by its second week of release, and earning over $150 million in ticket sales. The catch phrase, “There’s no crying in baseball!”—uttered by Rockford Peaches manager Jimmy Dugan (played by Hanks) made the American Film Instutute’s list of Greatest Movie Lines of All-Time, and the film itself was selected by the Library of Congress in 2012 for preservation in the National Film Registry, as being “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.” Interestingly, when the film opened in ’92, relatively few of the people who saw it knew that it was based on an actual, real-life league—many thought it was complete fiction. But the fictionalized account portrayed in the movie was, in fact, based on a very real story. The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was formed in 1943 out of concern that with so many players serving in World War II, big league baseball might be forced to suspend operations. The idea was that perhaps women could keep the game active and on the minds of baseball fans until the men could return from the war. The new league was bankrolled by big league owners, conducted nation-wide tryouts to stock its four inaugural teams with talented women players, and began competitive play in the spring of ’43—just as the movie’s screenplay detailed.

    UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA Edmond, Oklahoma Jackson College of Graduate Studies Indiana Jones and the Displaced Daddy: Spielberg’s Quest for the Good Father, Adulthood, and God A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN ENGLISH 20th & 21st Century Studies, Film By Evan Catron Edmond, Oklahoma 2010 ABSTRACT OF THESIS UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA Edmond, Oklahoma NAME: Evan Catron TITLE OF THESIS: Indiana Jones and the Displaced Daddy: Spielberg’s Quest for the Good Father, Adulthood, and God DIRECTOR OF THESIS: Dr. Kevin Hayes PAGES: 127 The Indiana Jones films define adventure as perpetual adolescence: idealized yet stifling emotional maturation. The series consequently resonates with the search for a good father and a confirmation for modernist man that his existence has “meaning;” success is always contingent upon belief. Examination of intertextual variability reveals cultural perspectives and Judaeo-Christian motifs unifying all films along with elements of inclusivism and pluralism. An accessible, comprehensive guide to key themes in all four Indiana Jones films studies the ideological imperative of Spielbergian cinema: patriarchal integrity is intimately connected with the quest for God, moral authority, national supremacy, and adulthood. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank the professors who encouraged me to pursue the films for which I have a passion as subjects for my academic study: Dr. John Springer and Dr. Mary Brodnax, members of my committee; and Dr. Kevin Hayes, chairman of my committee, whose love of The Simpsons rivals my own. I also want to thank Dr. Amy Carrell, who always answered my endless questions, and Dr.
