  • Crucibles of Virtue and Vice: the Acculturation of Transatlantic Army Officers, 1815-1945
    CRUCIBLES OF VIRTUE AND VICE: THE ACCULTURATION OF TRANSATLANTIC ARMY OFFICERS, 1815-1945 John F. Morris Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 John F. Morris All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Crucibles of Virtue and Vice: The Acculturation of Transatlantic Army Officers, 1815-1945 John F. Morris Throughout the long nineteenth century, the European Great Powers and, after 1865, the United States competed for global dominance, and they regularly used their armies to do so. While many historians have commented on the culture of these armies’ officer corps, few have looked to the acculturation process itself that occurred at secondary schools and academies for future officers, and even fewer have compared different formative systems. In this study, I home in on three distinct models of officer acculturation—the British public schools, the monarchical cadet schools in Imperial Germany, Austria, and Russia, and the US Military Academy—which instilled the shared and recursive sets of values and behaviors that constituted European and American officer cultures. Specifically, I examine not the curricula, policies, and structures of the schools but the subterranean practices, rituals, and codes therein. What were they, how and why did they develop and change over time, which values did they transmit and which behaviors did they perpetuate, how do these relate to nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century social and cultural phenomena, and what sort of ethos did they produce among transatlantic army officers? Drawing on a wide array of sources in three languages, including archival material, official publications, letters and memoirs, and contemporary nonfiction and fiction, I have painted a highly detailed picture of subterranean life at the institutions in this study.

  • An Analysis of Steroid Use Among High School Athletes
    An Analysis of Steroid Use among High School Athletes by Janelle Mack An Applied Research Project Presented to the Faculty of the Department of Public Policy and Administration, School of Business and Public Administration California State University, Bakersfield In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of MASTER OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION June 2008 Approved: ________________ _______ R. Steven Daniels, Ph. D. Date Approved:_________________ ________ B.J. Moore Date ii Executive Summary The purpose of this project is to determine the amount of knowledge that high school coaches and college athletes have of steroid use among high school athletes. There has been a problem with athletes using steroids, especially professionals. High school athletes are using steroids as well, which is even more dangerous. Their bodies may not be fully developed and they may not understand how drastic the side effects of steroid use can be. Using the surveys as a research tool will aid in my recommendations for high schools nationwide. I surveyed the high school coaches of male and female soccer and track and field, wrestling, football, and baseball. I also surveyed college athletes of baseball and both male and female athletes, of soccer, and track and field. I interviewed two program administrators, one in favor of drug testing as a deterrent for steroid use among high school athletes, the other in favor of education as a deterrent. The interviews were used as resources and were compared to the answers given in the surveys. The survey responses showed that the high school coaches and the college athletes overestimated the prevalence rate among high school athletes.
