  • Elizabeth Henley – a Brief Chronology by John Van Fleet Henley
    Poet Elizabeth Henley – A Brief Chronology By John Van Fleet Henley lizabeth Artis Watts Henley was born in Bellingham, Washington on Sept. 25, 1912. She had two older sisters, Ruth Watts and Catharine Watts Stimpson, and a younger brother, Arthur Watts. As E early as 7 years old, when she won a children’s poetry contest, Elizabeth showed signs of her poetic gifts. One of the judges, who would befriend and encourage a very young Elizabeth, was Ella Higginson, the famous Northwest poet. Elizabeth’s father Arthur Watts, a prominent pioneer businessman in the Bellingham area, had an enthusiastic vision for the future of the Northwest. He insisted that not only his son, but all of his daughters, get higher education in an age when women were fresh in the halls of academe. He suffered a serious head injury during an industrial accident, which affected his physical and mental health. He took his own life around the time of the 1929 stock market crash, as did many other men. His suicide affected the family, and especially, perhaps profoundly, his daughter Elizabeth. She had to leave the University of Washington to attend to the family and continue her schooling at Bellingham Normal School (now Western Washington State University — WWSU). In the early years of the Great Depression, Elizabeth began writing poetry professionally. She worked as poetry editor for The Puget Sounder. Eventually, she returned to the University of Washington, where she studied under Vernon Lewis Parrington, author of the 3-volume masterpiece of American literary criticism, Main Currents in American Thought.

  • Strategy and Tactics in the Thirty Years' War: the »Military Revolution«
    Aufsätze David A. Parrott Strategy and Tactics in the Thirty Years' War: The »Military Revolution« For iwenty years Professor Michael Roberts' work on the »Military Revolution« of the period 1560 — 1660 enjoyed undisputed pre-eminence as the accepted interpreta- tion of military developments in early modern Europe^. In 1976, an article by Geof- frey Parker made the first — and to my knowledge, only — general criticisms of Ro- berts' thesis that a series of tactical changes had a revolutionary impact upon Euro- pean warfare^. Professor Parker expressed reasoned doubts about whether these changes could be described as revolutionary, since serious inconsistencies emerge in any attempt to assess their practical impact. Why, in 1634, did the tactically conserva- tive Spanish army wipe out the »new model« Swedish at Nördlingen^? Why were the developments in tactics and strategy unable to bring the European conflict to any de- cisive conclusion? Parker's suggestion is that Roberts greatly over-emphasized inflexi- bility and traditionalism in the »conservative« armies, particularly the Spanish. He proposes that it is possible to trace a receptiveness to similar tactical developments back at least to the condottiere of the fifteenth Century, and that a willingness to ap- proach common military problems was not confined to the Dutch and the Swedes. In matters of developing firepower, the quality of cavalry, the deployment of small units and in effective training, the Spanish army was quite as progressive as its rivals Yet the effect of this is to confirm by implication the importance of the tactical changes commonly ascribed to the Nassau and to Gustavus Adolphus.

APPROVED BY MEMBERS OF THE THESIS COMMITTEE: Lisa F. Andrus "--- David A. Horowitz · Terence O' Donne 11 ~ The period of 1919 to 1939 was a significant one for the development of the literature of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. The literary work produced in the region prior to the first world war was greatly influenced by the "Genteel tradition" of the late nineteenth century. By 1939, however, the literature of Oregon and the region had emerged from the outdated literary standards of the pre-war 2 period and had found a new, realistic, natural voice, strongly regional in nature and rooted in the modern American tradition.

  • An Abstract of the Thesis Of
    An Abstract of the Thesis of Gail ElizabethWells forthe degree of Master of Science in Scientific and Technical Communication presented on July 18,1885. Title: The Tillamook:Stories from a Created Forest. Abstract approved: Simon S. Johnson Starting more than 60 years ago, a complex of four forest fires occurring at six-year intervals burned almost 400 square miles of virgin Douglas-fir forest in the northwestern Coast Range of Oregon. The area, which became known as the Tillamook Burn, was the focus of an unprecedented reforestation effort drawing on the combined skills and resources of many Oregonians. Because of the cooperative character of the reforestation and the wide agreement of opinionon its rationale-to furnish timber for future generations-the Tillamook State Forest, as it was renamed, came to occupy a distinct niche in the culture of the West, at once shaping and exemplifying Oregonians' cultural values regarding forests. In recent years, American culture has become highly divided with respect to the relationship of humans with "nature." At the same time, the trees planted on the Tillamook Burn are reaching maturity and are being prepared by managers for their original destiny, to be cut for timber. Yet the Forestno longer exemplifies near-unanimous cultural values about the purpose and worth of forests. The original rationale of the Forest will likely be strongly challenged by disparate competing interests, and as the timber becomes more valuable those challenges will likely be met with equal force by defenders of the status quo. These conflicts may harden into a standoff such as now exists between timber interests and environmental activists and may eventually result in distinct winning and losing factions.
