BEKX Chapter I Three months of service and how I became a soldier in St. Louis, Missouri. When the southern states had declared war against the northern states on April 13, 1861, by the occupation and de­ struction of Fort Sumter in South Carolina, the excitement in the whole country was enormous. All work, indeed all trade came to a sudden cessation. The majority of ordinary folks did not know what it was all about, and what was the meaning of it all—neither did I. On April 14, 1861, President Abraham Lincoln issued his proclamation calling for 75,000 volunteers to restore peace and IWILLIAM G. BEK, a native Missourian, is dean of the College of science, liter­ ature and arts, University of North Dakota. His contributions and translations relating to German settlements in the United States place him among the high­ est authorities in this line of historical research. He published in the Missouri Historical Review "A German Communistic Society in Missouri," a history of Bethel, Shelby county, "The Report of Gottfried Duden, 1824-1827," and "The Followers of Duden," appearing during 1908-1909, 1917-1919 and 1919- 1925, respectively. He has translated and presented typewritten copies to the Society of the following: First Journey to North America in the Years 1822 to 182k by Paul Wilhelm, Duke of Wuerttemberg; The Experiences and Adventures of the Stephanites Who Emigrated from Saxony, Their Journey to St. Louis, Their Stay There and the Conditions of Their Colony in Perry County, by C. Heinrich; History of the Washington [Mo.] Turner Society from Its Founding on December 13, 1859; St. Louis in Former Years, by E. D. Kargau; Das Westliche Nord Amerika, by N. Hesse; and the letters of Doctor William G. Kiel, founder of the Bethel communistic society in Shelby county in 1844. The State Historical Society elected Dr. Bek an honorary member in 1938, one of the three such members. John Buegel, born in Mecklenburg, Germany, came to the United States and joined the Union army at the outbreak of the Civil war. Following the war he was a bookkeeper in a St. Louis lumber company, and after his second marriage moved to a farm near Paola, Kansas. Dr. Bek made the translation from the diary kept in German script. The original was presented to the State Historical Society by Buegel's grandson, Dr. Hermann F. Buegel, professor of psychology in the University of North Dakota, as a gift from his mother and sister, Mrs. Amelia Buegel and Mrs. Clara Buegel Anderson, Grand Forks, North Dakota. (307) 308 Missouri Historical Review order in the South. The southerners, however, had long been prepared for a war, and jeered the North which had been completely robbed of all the war materials by the South. In haughty arrogance the South believed to be quite sure of victory. At the same time, it recruited soldiers. It did this in a bold and shameless manner. Those who did not enlist voluntarily were beaten and had mud thrown at them. (This happened to me myself.) Therefore my resolution was reached immediately. In the event that I should have to become a soldier I would enlist in the northern army and stick to the Union. As I have already indicated, all building operations had come to a standstill, other work was also not to be found, moreover, one's very life was in danger. Hovering between fear and hope we spent the days from April 14 to 22. On the morning of April 22, my friend H. Hinzman came to me and persuaded me to go with him to Washington Hall on Second and Elm streets. We went. Having arrived there we found to our great surprise that the large hall was full of young, sturdy Germans. Of course, a good lunch with fine beer was not lacking. Everything gratis. Since we Germans at that time were looked upon as belonging to an unworthy nation, and Americans, old and young, looked upon us with contempt and disdain, we decided, after having listened to some speeches, to sell our skins as dearly as possible. A few days before, two German regiments had already been organized. Immedi­ ately five companies were formed which were to constitute a part of the Third Regiment of Missouri Volunteer Infantry to be commanded by Colonel Franz Siegel. After three cheers for the Union had been given, and "Down with the traitors" had been uttered, and having emptied a few more glasses, we marched through the streets of St. Louis to the arsenal. Upon arriving there the guard (a regular soldier) allowed us to enter unhindered, but would not let us go out again. To our greatest surprise there were already five companies of the Third Regi­ ment there who were drilling diligently. That afternoon we were sworn in and wrere issued rifles and shells. The soldier was now ready for action. In the evening we were served soldier fare—bean soup and crackers. There were no uniforms The Civil War Diary of John T. Buegel 309 available as yet. That night we slept in tents, where we made ourselves as comfortable as possible. On the next morning at half-past five the bugle roused us. At seven o'clock we had coffee and hardtack.

By David Holden Professor Theodore A. Wilson, Advisor The U.S. Army officer corps experienced an intellectual revolution following the experience of WWI that fundamental altered the relationship between man and machines in war. As a result, officers failed to develop the technology gene and began to think of war as being inherently quantitatively and technological based. This dissertation examines the relationship between technology and the U.S. Army and Navy officers specifically between 1900-1925. Furthermore, the treatise addresses the role of Frederick Taylor and the rise of scientific management within the U.S. Army and Navy. iii Acknowledgements In writing this dissertation, I received invaluable assistance and support from a number of people and organizations.

IMMACULATE DEFAMATION: THE CASE OF THE ALTON TELEGRAPH By: Alan M. Weinberger* ABSTRACT At the confluence of three major rivers, Madison County, Illinois, was also the intersection of the nation’s struggle for a free press and the right of access to appellate review in the historic case of the Alton Telegraph. The newspaper, which helps perpetuate the memory of Elijah Lovejoy, the first martyr to the cause of a free press, found itself on the losing side of the largest judgment for defamation in U.S. history as a result of a story that was never published in the paper—a case of immaculate defamation. Because it could not afford to post an appeal bond of that magnitude, one of the oldest family-owned newspapers in the country was forced to file for bankruptcy to protect its viability as a going concern.

  • Screen Plays: from Broadway to Hollywood, 1920-1966
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release June 1995 SCREEN PLAYS: FROM BROADWAY TO HOLLYWOOD, 1920 - 1966 June 30 - October 3, 1995 A major retrospective of Hollywood films adapted from the Broadway stage opens at The Museum of Modern Art on June 30, 1995. SCREEN PLAYS: FROM BROADWAY TO HOLLYWOOD, 1920 - 1966 presents more than 100 films that drew their commercially and critically successful plots and characters, and their talented actors, writers, and directors from Broadway. The series, which continues through October 3, features such Broadway actors as George Arliss, the Barrymores, Shirley Booth, Marlon Brando, Ina Claire, John Garfield, Julie Harris, Helen Hayes, Judy Holliday, the Lunts, Fredric March, Sidney Poitier, Otis Skinner, Laurette Taylor, and Mae West re-creating on film the roles that made them stage legends. While the relationship between the Broadway musical and the Hollywood musical is well-established, this exhibition spotlights the relationship between the Broadway play and the Hollywood film. Since the beginning of the studio system, Hollywood has sought plays that could be adapted into so-called prestige films, adding a patina of class and sophistication. The retrospective places particular emphasis on films made from plays produced by the Theatre Guild, the Group Theatre, and the Playwrights' Company, since many members of these companies made lasting contributions both on Broadway and in Hollywood. Highlights of the series include Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne in the only film they made together, The Guardsman (Sidney Franklin, 1931; play by Ferenc Molnar); Anna Magnani in the film version of The Rose Tattoo (Daniel - more - 11 West 53 Street, New York, NY.

    AN ANALYSIS OF THE MUSICAL INTERPRETATIONS OF NINA SIMONE by JESSIE L. FREYERMUTH B.M., Kansas State University, 2008 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC Department of Music College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2010 Approved by: Major Professor Dale Ganz Copyright JESSIE L. FREYERMUTH 2010 Abstract Nina Simone was a prominent jazz musician of the late 1950s and 60s. Beyond her fame as a jazz musician, Nina Simone reached even greater status as a civil rights activist. Her music spoke to the hearts of hundreds of thousands in the black community who were struggling to rise above their status as a second-class citizen. Simone’s powerful anthems were a reminder that change was going to come. Nina Simone’s musical interpretation and approach was very unique because of her background as a classical pianist. Nina’s untrained vocal chops were a perfect blend of rough growl and smooth straight-tone, which provided an unquestionable feeling of heartache to the songs in her repertoire. Simone also had a knack for word painting, and the emotional climax in her songs is absolutely stunning. Nina Simone did not have a typical jazz style. Critics often described her as a “jazz-and-something-else-singer.” She moved effortlessly through genres, including gospel, blues, jazz, folk, classical, and even European classical. Probably her biggest mark, however, was on the genre of protest songs. Simone was one of the most outspoken and influential musicians throughout the civil rights movement. Her music spoke to the hundreds of thousands of African American men and women fighting for their rights during the 1960s.

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.
