Description: In 1900 the United States had more medical schools than the rest of the world combined. Many of them were commercial institutions devoted to making profits rather than to educating men to perform competently within the medical profession. The profit incentive precipitated low educational standards and made American medical practice decidedly inferior to medical practice almost anywhere else in the civilized world. By 1900 medical education had become pernicious, threatening the health of the na… more

The Provincial Congress of North Carolina 1774-1776

Description: The Provincial Congress assumed the leadership of North Carolina at a time when, almost simultaneously, the seeds of the American Revolution were beginning to take root throughout the neighboring provinces.

America's Postwar Settlement : Dollar Diplomacy in Europe, 1919-1925

Henry Clay Warmoth and the Politics of Coalition

This thesis approaches the subject from a different angle. Focusing upon Louisiana during the administration of that state's first reconstructio… more

In studying each company major emphasis has been given to the factors which contributed directly to the eventual receivership of the company.
