INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify 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 complete continuity. 2. When an image on the Film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer 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 illustrations that cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerographic copy. These prints are available upon request from the Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed. University Microfilms International 300 N. Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, Ml 48106 8400108 Bowman, MaryD. Leavell ROLAND Q.

Leavell Bowman B.A., Blue Mountain College, 1946 B.A.Ed., Louisiana College, 1964 M.A., Northwestern State University, 1965 August, 1983 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS One of the rewards of scholarship is the opportunity to benefit from the guidance, criticism, and keen intellect of those from whom we learn. To Professor Karl A. Roider, Jr., director of my dissertation, I owe profound gratitude for his candor, encouragement, and hours of painstaking assistance. I have been enriched by his intellectual astuteness, his profound classroom skills, his disciplined devotion to his own scholarly research, and the wise and dignifying spirit he exhibits toward all students. Other committee members to whom I am in­ debted are Professors Gary Crump, Thomas Carleton, Thomas Owen, and Gaines Foster. I wish to express appreciation for the generous support of the administration, faculty and trustees of Louisiana College, especially Professor Thomas Howell who assumed added responsibilities so that I might be away from my classroom duties. For financial assistance and their dedication to higher education I express appreciation to Delta Kappa Gamma Society International for the 1982-83 Founder’s Scholarship. In addition I am grateful to Mrs. Carolyn Sterne and Mrs. Sue Roider who generously provided time, interest, and efficient typing skills. I am acutely aware of the kindness of the many people who granted interviews and of the staff of the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary Library who provided access to personal materials belonging to Roland Q. Leavell. I am grateful to Dr. Edward McMillan, who twenty years ago provided me with the example and incentive to strive toward ii a new dimension in my life. For my three children who were completing graduate degrees at the same time as their Mother, I express highest esteem and gratitude for their accomplishments. Their obvious successes have somehow exonerated me and suggested that even though I was seldom exclusively involved in domestic duties, I was perhaps not amiss. I owe boundless appreciation to my loyal husband who demonstrated a chivalrous spirit, high-mindedness, and nobleness of character. He has endured, encour­ aged, and remonstrated appropriately as occasions arose. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.................................................. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS .............................................. iv ABSTRACT..........................................................

Raised in Oxford, he followed his mother's wishes and entered the ministry of the Southern Baptist Convention. As a pastor, he not only served well in a number of churches, but became renowned throughout the Convention for his success in evangelism. Because of this success, he won appointment to two of the most prestigious offices in the Con­ vention: Director of Evangelism and president of the Baptist Theologi­ cal Seminary in New Orleans. This dissertation is not, however, simply a recital of this man's successes. Based on his large collection of personal papers and on interviews with many friends and associates, it is a discussion of a paradigm, the Southern Baptist religious leader born and raised in the ideas and notions of the conservative South but forced over time to face the conditions of twentieth-century America and the world. Leavell .never shrank from observing twentieth-century life. Besides his religious work, he studied early on in Chicago where he first en­ countered integration; he experienced the First World War as a YMCA volunteer and as a stretcher-bearer; he visited the China of the war­ lords; in 1934 he witnessed Nazi Germany at first hand; and he preached in Nagasaki soon after that city' s destruction by the atom bomb. Despite all these experiences, he clung to a religion and theology rooted deep in what he learned at his mother's knee, a faith focused on individual salvation and the avoidance of the puritanical sins of drinking, gambling, dancing, and illicit sexual activity. Socially he made little progress; he believed throughout his life in the in­ equality of the races and the superiority of what he perceived as Southern values over those of the North. Intellectually he grew little as well, ducking and dodging the difficult questions the world posed to him. He stands in stark contrast to the fellow Oxfordian of his youth, William Faulkner, but he also represents a much more common type in the twentieth-century American South. vi CHAPTER I THE OXFORD EXPERIENCE Roland Quinche Leavell would be considered by any standard a compelling Individual. At his death many newspapers ran front-page accounts and editorials* extolling his varied accomplishments. The New Orleans Times Picayune praised him as a man of "many talents" and 2 spoke of "the Leavell energy" and "utter devotion to his career1, while the Clarion Ledger of Jackson, Mississippi lauded his "literary pro­ duction, preaching and devotion to the education of ministers, vision, 3 4 and talented and energetic spirit." Baptist denominational papers joined international and non-denominational religious publications in eulogizing Leavell, describing him as "relentless, hardworking, . a well-balanced man's man who liked to stalk a deer, and a great sport's [sic] fan . understanding

  • Railway Employee Records for Colorado Volume Iii
    RAILWAY EMPLOYEE RECORDS FOR COLORADO VOLUME III By Gerald E. Sherard (2005) When Denver’s Union Station opened in 1881, it saw 88 trains a day during its gold-rush peak. When passenger trains were a popular way to travel, Union Station regularly saw sixty to eighty daily arrivals and departures and as many as a million passengers a year. Many freight trains also passed through the area. In the early 1900s, there were 2.25 million railroad workers in America. After World War II the popularity and frequency of train travel began to wane. The first railroad line to be completed in Colorado was in 1871 and was the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad line between Denver and Colorado Springs. A question we often hear is: “My father used to work for the railroad. How can I get information on Him?” Most railroad historical societies have no records on employees. Most employment records are owned today by the surviving railroad companies and the Railroad Retirement Board. For example, most such records for the Union Pacific Railroad are in storage in Hutchinson, Kansas salt mines, off limits to all but the lawyers. The Union Pacific currently declines to help with former employee genealogy requests. However, if you are looking for railroad employee records for early Colorado railroads, you may have some success. The Colorado Railroad Museum Library currently has 11,368 employee personnel records. These Colorado employee records are primarily for the following railroads which are not longer operating. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad (AT&SF) Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad employee records of employment are recorded in a bound ledger book (record number 736) and box numbers 766 and 1287 for the years 1883 through 1939 for the joint line from Denver to Pueblo.

  • The Rule of Reason Doctrine in European Court of Justice Jurisprudence on Direct Taxation
    canadian tax journal / revue fiscale canadienne (2008) vol. 56, no 1, 67 - 140 The Rule of Reason Doctrine in European Court of Justice Jurisprudence on Direct Taxation Elie Roth* P r é c i s Dans cet article, l’auteur fait un examen critique de la doctrine de la justification élaborée par la Cour européenne de justice dans sa jurisprudence sur l’imposition directe. Cette doctrine permet de déterminer si, et dans quelles circonstances, une mesure interne dont on juge qu’elle limite l’exercice d’une ou de plusieurs libertés fondamentales garanties par le traité sur l’uE, ou dont l’effet ou l’application est discriminatoire, peut être justifiée par des motifs d’intérêt public. L’auteur donne d’abord un aperçu de la doctrine de la justification, ou « règle de raison », élaborée par la Cour et met l’accent sur son application dans les causes portant sur l’imposition directe. La Cour a toujours interprété de façon très étroite les restrictions à l’exercice des libertés fondamentales contenues dans le traité sur l’uE et l’argument de l’intérêt public pour justifier une mesure fiscale interne restrictive ou discriminatoire. L’auteur laisse entendre que le principe de la non-discrimination élaboré par la Cour dans sa jurisprudence sur l’imposition directe favorise une interprétation plus large des motifs de justification potentiels dont elle a tenu compte à ce jour dans sa doctrine de la règle de raison, et il fait valoir que certains de ses récents jugements pourraient former un cadre en vue d’une interprétation plus pondérée de la règle de raison où la doctrine de la justification est élargie de façon à inclure une analyse des principes de politiques fiscales internationales pertinentes.

  • De Beurs Van Nürnberg 2010
    DE BEURS VAN NÜRNBERG 2010 D 1. ENKELE ECHO’S door Guy Bridoux Vertaling Luc Blommaerts en Philippe Callaert De organisatoren van de 61ste Messe stelden vast dat het aantal bezoekers zich rond 76.000 eenheden stabiliseert. Deze klaarblijkelijke stabiliteit verbergt echter een evolutie bij de aard van de deelnemers: het is een feit dat in ons domein de Hall 4A plaats heeft gegeven aan firma’s die er voorheen niet aanwezig waren, omdat de ingenomen ruimte door de groep Roco/Fleischmann, door Piko en andere gereduceerd was en omdat artisanale firma’s en producenten van toebehoren zoals Titan en Zimo niet aanwezig waren. Een sector die erg actief blijft is deze van de radiobesturing, waarbij de firma Stadlbauer één van de acht prijzen voor innovatie ontving voor zijn programma « Carrera Digital », terwijl de Chinezen een sterke voorkeur hadden voor de radiobesturing van helikopters. In andere domeinen zijn de artisanale producten zo goed als verdwenen, de kerstdecoratie is sterk ingekrompen en heeft plaats gemaakt voor carnavalartikelen. De sector van de parascolaire artikelen is uitgebreid, net zoals de aziatische deelnemers, met een Chinees overwicht. Betreffende de situatie van Märklin, die vorig jaar bij de opening van de Messe in het brandpunt van de belangstelling stond, dient gesteld dat de optimisten gelijk hebben gekregen, t.t.z. dat eenmaal gereorganiseerd, de firma opnieuw winstgevend is geworden, wat het de voorlopige beheerder toch nog niet mogelijk heeft gemaakt om een nieuwe investeerder aan te trekken. In 2009 heeft de firma alle buitenlandse filialen gesloten , behalve het Zwitserse. De integratie van Roco en Fleischmann onder de koepel van Modell- eisenbahn München zet zich verder, wat sedert januari voor België geleid heeft tot een gemeenschappelijke distributie via T2M.

    SONG SETTINGS OF HEINRICH HEINE: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SONG SETTINGS FROM THE POETRY PERSPECTIVE BY ELISABETH MARSHALL Submitted to the faculty of the Jacobs School of Music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree, Doctor of Music, Indiana University December, 2013 Accepted by the faculty of the Jacobs School of Music, Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Music. ___________________________________ Johannes Türk, Research Director __________________________________ Carol Vaness, Chairperson __________________________________ Timothy Noble __________________________________ Patricia Stiles ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author wishes to express her sincere gratitude to Johannes Türk, research director, for his long-suffering, generous, and careful guidance; to chairperson Carol Vaness for her consistent encouragement and unfailing support; to committee members Timothy Noble and Patricia Stiles for their faithful contributions of time and support, without which completion of this project would have been impossible. I also wish to thank Oscar Strasnoy, for his time and interviews via e-mail, and especially my friend and colleague, James Kallembach, for his invaluable assistance in the editing process. iii PREFACE Today there is an almost obsessive concern with the question of what is the “most accurate” historical performance of a given piece of music. In many performances and ensembles this leads to an investigation into the types of instruments or techniques of singing used in a given period, the number of performers employed, and other ensemble and technical concerns. Related to this concern for historical performance, but perhaps not as often considered, is the issue of the relationship between the original poem and a musical setting.

  • European Train Names: a Historic Outline Christian Weyers
    ONOMÀSTICA BIBLIOTECA TÈCNICA DE POLÍTICA LINGÜÍSTICA European Train Names: a Historic Outline* Christian Weyers DOI: 10.2436/15.8040.01.201 Abstract This paper gives a first overview of the onomastic category of train names, searches to classify the corpus and reviews different stages of their productivity. Apart from geographical names (toponyms, choronyms, compass directions) generally indicating points of origin and destination of the trains in question, a considerable number of personal names have entered this category, of classical literary authors, musicians and scientists, but also of many fictional or non-fictional characters taken from literature or legendary traditions. In some cases also certain symbolic attributes of these persons and finally even heraldic figures have given their names to trains. In terms of their functionality, train names originally were an indicator of exclusiveness and high grade of travel quality, but they developed gradually, as they dispersed over the European continent, into a rather unspecific, generalized appellation, also for regional and local trains. After two periods of prosperity after 1950, the privatisation of railway companies starting in the 1990s had again a very positive effect on the category, as the number of named trains initially reached a new record in this decade. ***** The first train names appeared in England in the 1860s in addition to names for steam locomotives, and on two different levels. The Special Scotch Express between London King’s Cross and Edinburgh (inaugurated in 1862) was called by the public The Flying Scotsman from the 1870s, but it succeeded as the official name not before 1924. Also the names of the German diesel trainsets Der Fliegende Hamburger and Der Fliegende Kölner were colloquial name creations, as were the Train Bleu and the Settebello operated from 1922 and 1953 but officially named in 1947 and 1958, respectively.

  • Historic Centre of Vienna
    WHC Nomination Documentation File Name: 1033.pdf UNESCO Region: EUROPE AND THE NORTH AMERICA __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Historic Centre of Vienna DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 16th December 2001 STATE PARTY: AUSTRIA CRITERIA: C (ii)(iv)(vi) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Report of the 25th Session of the World Heritage Committee The Committee inscribed the Historic Centre of Vienna on the World Heritage List under criteria (ii), (iv), and (vi): Criterion (ii): The urban and architectural qualities of the Historic Centre of Vienna bear outstanding witness to a continuing interchange of values throughout the second millennium. Criterion (iv): Three key periods of European cultural and political development - the Middle Ages, the Baroque period, and the Gründerzeit - are exceptionally well illustrated by the urban and architectural heritage of the Historic Centre of Vienna. Criterion (vi): Since the 16th century Vienna has been universally acknowledged to be the musical capital of Europe. While taking note of the efforts already made for the protection of the historic town of Vienna, the Committee recommended that the State Party undertake the necessary measures to review the height and volume of the proposed new development near the Stadtpark, east of the Ringstrasse, so as not to impair the visual integrity of the historic town. Furthermore, the Committee recommended that special attention be given to continuous monitoring and control of any changes to the morphology of the historic building stock. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS Vienna developed from early Celtic and Roman settlements into a Medieval and Baroque city, the capital of the Austro- Hungarian Empire. It played an essential role as a leading European music centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century.
