  • Indiana's Game: the Rise and Decline of High School Basketball in Indiana
    Indiana's Game: The Rise and Decline of High School Basketball in Indiana An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) by Michael Wohlford Ball State University Muncie, Indiana April 2007 Expected Graduation: December 2007 Indiana's Game: The Rise and Decline of High School Basketball in Indiana An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) by Michael Wohlford Dr. Anthony Edmonds Ball State University Muncie, Indiana April 2007 Expected Graduation: December 2007 Abstract . WG:; Although the game of basketball was invented in Massachusetts in 1891, many consider Indiana as its place of development. Since being introduced to the state in 1893, basketball and Indiana was a near-perfect match. For various reasons analyzed in this thesis, basketball became a key fixture in Hoosier society_ Many towns and communities across the state began identifying themselves by their local high school basketball team, and as time went by in the middle part of the 20th century a sort of 'Hoosier Hysteria' took hold of the state. Indiana became basketball-crazed, as massive high school gymnasiums were built and hoards of fans traveled to watch their local team play. But these 'glory days' have come and passed. This paper investigates reasons why Indiana high school basketball has declined in popularity among the state's population. Not only does this thesis show how Indiana became known for its high school basketball in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, but it also begins to explain why high school basketball is becoming less important for Hoosier citizens. The last aim of this paper is to look towards the future of Indiana high school basketball.

  • Grape-Growing and Wine-Making in Cincinnati, 1800-1870
    19 6 Bulletin from Longworth's Wine House Bottling, Corking and Wiring Sparkling Wine Grape-Growing and Wine-Making in Cincinnati, 1800 - 1870 by John F. von Daacke The recent revitalization of Mount Adams has brought forth stories of the time when it was covered with vineyards and known as the "Garden of Eden." Today it is easy to imagine the beauty of such a hill covered with green vineyards, but this was only a small part of the thousands of acres devoted to grape-growing in Cincinnati. Recently the State of Ohio began studies under the House Public Works Committee to investigate the possibilities of helping Ohio increase her wine production. Most of the studies concentrated on Cincinnati during the period 1840-1860. The Cincinnati area, accord- ing to more than one expert pomologist, is still a perfect area for grape-growing. "Climate and soil are conducive to viticulture, on both sides of the river in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, and it only awaits one with Nicholas Longworth's initiative to start a grape and wine industry in these regions."1 The vine culture and wine industry of Cincinnati were the cul- mination of the ideas of John James Dufour. In his youth he had studied vine culture in the major vineyard area of Switzerland, the Vevay Canton. Encouraged by reports from America during the Revolutionary War of the possibilities for viticulture in that new country, he emigrated to Lexington, Kentucky, and set up a vineyard there in 1798. A multitude of problems beset this venture and so in 1801 a second vineyard was established at the Swiss settlement of Vevay in Indiana, on the Ohio River.

  • The Glory of the Invisible God the GLORY of the INVISIBLE GOD Two Powers in Heaven Traditions and Early Christology
    JCT JEWISH AND CHRISTIAN TEXTS IN CONTEXT AND RELATED STUDIES 31 ANDREI ORLOV ANDREI Andrei Orlov examines early Christological developments in the light of references to the “two powers” in heaven, and specifically to the glory of God, tracing the impact of a key idea/phrase through both canonical and non-canonical material. Orlov begins by looking at references to the “two powers” in early Jewish literature, in particular the book of Daniel, and in pseudepigraphical writings. He then traces the term through Rabbinic literature and applies this directly to understanding of Christological debates. Orlov finally carries out a close examination of language of the “two powers” in Christian literature, in particular accounts of the Transfiguration and the Baptism of Jesus. Including a comprehensive bibliography listing texts and translations, and secondary literature, this volume is a key resource in researching the development of Christology.
