Therefore, verily I say unto you, my friends, Call your solemn assembly, as I have commanded you; and as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom; seek learning even by study, and also by faith. —Doctrine and Covenants, 85:36a • O remember my son, and learn wisdom in thy youth; yea, learn in thy youth to keep the commandments of God; yea, and cry unto God for thy support. — Alma 17:68 • But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them. — Timothy II, 3:14 Introduction Maybe you’ve only seen Graceland College during a 20-minute stopover while touring Interstate 35. Or maybe you’re one of the people to spend your entire college career as a Grace- lander. Either way, your visit can’t help but to spur some questions about the place. How did the campus develop? Who is this person who shares a name with that building? When did that student organization begin? How did that campus tradition get its start? What changes occurred during the time I wasn’t here? Well, hang on to your blue and gold socks, because you’re about to find out almost everything you ever wanted to know about Graceland College. It’s like freshman orientation all over again. And then some. The Graceland College Book of Knowledge was designed as a commemoration of the college’s centennial, but it actually had its roots way back with the celebration of Graceland’s 50th anniversary. During the 1940-41 school year, a student honor society called the Lambda Delta Sigma Society initiated research on the backgrounds of the myriad of stuff that had become a part of campus life in its first five decades. Completed by librarian Cleo Hanthorne Moon and mimeographed into 14 copies in 1945, the result was an encyclopedia-styled work called Graceland Firsts. Flash forward to the early spring of 1995. I had returned to campus a few months earlier as the editor/writer for College Relations and discovered one of my shelves a pink three-ring binder with “Graceland Firsts” written on an adhesive label. The inside of that plastic binder contained a copy of that half-century-old work that had been retyped by the Alumni Office just a few years earlier. Since 1995 marked Graceland’s centennial, I figured it would be a good idea to update the thing during my spare time, creating a handy in-house reference work for those occasions when questions need to be answered about campus facilities or the college’s background. At the time, I didn’t know that Alumni Programs coordinator Marvel Hansen and College Relations director Mary Kay Kenworthy would suggest a few months later that this would be an ideal project to publish as The Graceland College centennial book. (This necessitated correcting and significantly rewriting the material in Graceland Firsts, even eliminating several entries. For some reason, Cleo had a whole lot of stuff in there about every minor detail about the library.) I also didn’t know that it would take 2 1/2 years to complete, overshooting the actual centennial mark. So now, this project joins a small collection of other published works that have recorded the history of Graceland. Among that group, much acknowledgment is hereby given to Roy Cheville for writing Through The West Door (the definitive, detailed, and never-to-be equalled account of the college’s first 50 years) and to Paul M. Edwards for updating the college’s history to the 75- year mark with The Hilltop Where. Thanks also go to the people who didn’t realize at the time that they were recording history: the student staffs of each Acacia yearbook and the reporters for each volume of The Graceland Tower. Dozens of alumni also helped provide details on previously unpublished portions of the college’s history by responding to questions that were issued in the Graceland Horizons magazine. (There are more gaps to fill, and undoubtedly more corrections to make. If The Tower got it wrong way back when, odds are I repeated the mistake.. Anyone whose memories or scrapbooks can make Graceland’s collected history more complete are officially invited to mail your additions in care of Graceland’s Alumni Office.) Further acknowledgements go to people who were closely involved in helping produce this book. Thanks to the Graceland proofreading team, who reviewed this massive text for accuracy, be it spelling, historical, or a better word (Marvel Hansen, President Emerita Barbara Higdon, Mary Kay Kenworthy, grants coordinator Jeannie McKinney, PPC director Myrna Morris, and the indispensable aide to seven Graceland presidents, Clara Morrell). Thanks to PPC photographer Mike Jaeger, who had to copy so many old photos and shoot a few new ones. Thanks to PPC graphic designer Steve Edwards, who helmed the technical side of the layout work. Thanks to Ron Romig and the folks at the RLDS Church archives for supplying several rare photographs. Thanks to a pair of my student assistants, Anne Williams and Brooke Nelson (both from Arizona — what are the – iv – odds?), who retyped some lists and helped with a bit of the research. Thanks to former music faculty member Ken Cooper for creating sheet music for Graceland Yellowjackets. And, in a more general but probably more significant sense, thanks to the many more people who played a part in shaping my own “Graceland Experience”, both times around. (You all know who you are.) Returning students know that change comes to Graceland College every year. Each fall, the makeup of the student community is reshuffled, new policies debut, and the campus gets accustomed to physical modifications that were made over the summer. A piece of Graceland’s ongo- ing evolution crumbles into the past, and foundations are introduced for the next stage of memories. Graceland students from around the globe unite in the fall of 1951 for a walk down the college’s old main entrance toward town. – v – Throughout all the change, the constant has always been that students and educators gather to learn, associate, and grow. Here, then, is the development behind that learning, association, and growth during the first century of Graceland College. —David Goehner July 1997 Graceland students from around the globe unite with Professor Les Gardner (sixth from left in the 1951 photo) for a walk down the college hill in the spring of 1996. – vi – Contents Graceland College From A To Z ............................................p. 1 Chapter A .........................................................................p. 2 Chapter B .......................................................................p. 24 Chapter C .......................................................................p. 42 Chapter D .......................................................................p. 70 Chapter E ........................................................................p.80 Chapter F ........................................................................p. 92 Chapter G .....................................................................p. 114 Chapter H .....................................................................p. 150 Chapter I .......................................................................p. 172 Chapter J ......................................................................p. 180 Chapter K .....................................................................p. 184 Chapter L ......................................................................p. 192 Chapter M ....................................................................p. 202 Chapter N .....................................................................p. 220 Chapter O .....................................................................p. 230 Chapter P, Q .................................................................p. 238 Chapter R .....................................................................p. 258 Chapter S ......................................................................p.

  • An Analysis of Hegemonic Social Structures in "Friends"
    "I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU" IF YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME: AN ANALYSIS OF HEGEMONIC SOCIAL STRUCTURES IN "FRIENDS" Lisa Marie Marshall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor Audrey E. Ellenwood Graduate Faculty Representative James C. Foust Lynda Dee Dixon © 2007 Lisa Marshall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the dominant ideologies and hegemonic social constructs the television series Friends communicates in regard to friendship practices, gender roles, racial representations, and social class in order to suggest relationships between the series and social patterns in the broader culture. This dissertation describes the importance of studying television content and its relationship to media culture and social influence. The analysis included a quantitative content analysis of friendship maintenance, and a qualitative textual analysis of alternative families, gender, race, and class representations. The analysis found the characters displayed actions of selectivity, only accepting a small group of friends in their social circle based on friendship, gender, race, and social class distinctions as the six characters formed a culture that no one else was allowed to enter. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project stems from countless years of watching and appreciating television. When I was in college, a good friend told me about a series that featured six young people who discussed their lives over countless cups of coffee. Even though the series was in its seventh year at the time, I did not start to watch the show until that season.

  • Rose La Rose and the Re-Ownership of American Burlesque, 1935-1972
    TAUGHT IT TO THE TRADE: ROSE LA ROSE AND THE RE-OWNERSHIP OF AMERICAN BURLESQUE, 1935-1972 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Elizabeth Wellman Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Jennifer Schlueter, Advisor Beth Kattelman Joy Reilly Copyright by Elizabeth Wellman 2015 ABSTRACT Declaring burlesque dead has been a habit of the twentieth century. Robert C. Allen quoted an 1890s letter from the first burlesque star of the American stage, Lydia Thompson in Horrible Prettiness: Burlesque and American Culture (1991): “[B]urlesque as she knew it ‘has been retired for a time,’ its glories now ‘merely memories of the stage.’”1 In 1931, Bernard Sobel opined in Burleycue: An Underground History of Burlesque Days, “Alas! You will never get a chance to see one of the real burlesque shows again. They are gone forever…”2 In 1938, The Billboard published an editorial that began, “On every hand the cry is ‘Burlesque is dead.’”3 In fact, burlesque had been declared dead so often that editorials began popping up insisting it could be revived, as Joe Schoenfeld’s 1943 op-ed in Variety did: “[It] may be in a state of putrefaction, but it is a lusty and kicking decomposition.”4 It is this “lusty and kicking decomposition” which characterizes the published history of burlesque. Since its modern inception in the late nineteenth century, American burlesque has both been framed and framed itself within this narrative of degeneration.
