Citation: Biddison, Clare. The history of music. Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1907. ; Morse Department of Special Collections ; Introduction: Fortunately history has something to record beside bloodshed and wrong. It is well that the song of the morning stars and the heavenly chant of "Peace on earth and good will to men", have been preserved as well as the stories of assassination, adultery, and massacre, and if there is reason why we should burrow into the past to learn the lessons of government, which is the method by which "One man ruleth over another unto his own hurt," so is there reason why we should delve into the past and consider the origin and progress of that divine art which has soothed the savage breast and has inspired man to noble deeds, comforted humanity in the depths of sorrow, lightened the laborer's toil and drawn man most powerfully heavenward. The origin of music is older than the "Art preservative". Whether ape-like men imitated with the voice the song of the birds, the roar of the thunder, the dripping of the waters, the breaxing of the waves and the whistling of the winds through the forest,or whether a God-born Adam waking with the dawn broke forth in irresistable praise of the Creator is perhaps debatable, but as far back as go any of the ancient writings, whether on parchment or on the rocks, there are evidences that man found beauty in sound as well as in sight and that the most ancient peoples voiced the glories of their histories, that the most ancient lovers sang of their loved ones, and that even savage mothers crooned the folk-lore.to their babes.

Citation: Sweet, Bertha Florence. History of music. Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1907. ; Morse Department of Special Collections ; Introduction: Rome has almost all the credit for the early development of music, but according to actual history it seems that the Romans were a people of observance of and appreciation for arts, but the artists were all from foreign countries, who came to Rome to receive the praise of the hosts, and then made their homes there, practicing and teaching. The most ancient treatise on music is written in the Grecian language, and there had been no original work on the subject by the Romans till the time of Boethius. Another cause for Rome becoming the center of music is that of the spread of the Christian religion. The persecution of the Christians in their own countries caused many to flee from their mother land, and seek the lad of Rome, where they could worship in secrecy. With them they brought the memory of the songs of their native land, and by an intermingling of the various melodies of the different countries, a new type of music was created, but even this deteriorated, as there was no written music, and the so-called melodies were either changed or forgotten.

The eminent art historian Gerard Baldwin Brown (1849–1932) held, for fifty years, the first Chair in the History of Art in Britain at the University of Edinburgh. He published on a wide range of art and architecture; his major work was the six-volume Arts in Early England (1903–1937). His interest in the wider social context of art was reflected in his concern for the preservation of ancient monuments for the public. It was after the publication of the present book in 1906 that Brown was appointed member of a Royal Commission to compile an inventory of ancient Scottish monuments. The first half of the book outlines best practice for the preservation of monuments and architectural and natural beauty. The second part, based on extensive secondary literature and official documentation, demonstrates how other countries managed their historic monuments: in Europe, India, the Middle East and the United States

Citation: Kirk, Clarence Brady. The physiological aspect of education. Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1906. ; Morse Department of Special Collections ; Introduction: It is well known that an educated man can not be educated mentally alone but likewise his physical education must receive careful attention. History reveals the fact that for some time past that the physical education of the people has received far too little attention. Today the American people are fast beginning to realize that the mental training is not the only factor in education to be considered. The laws that govern the health and the development of the body are fast taking a place of first importance, because of the relation existing between the mental and physical development. That the two go hand in hand is shown in the individual but here is not the only place. In the history of nations it is found as well. Ancient Greece was the first of nations to make physical exercises a part of its educational exercises. And so long as these practices were exercised the Greek nation rose intellectually and politically and its people became a people of great physical power. Soon riches caused the people to abandon this mode of education and there physical exercises were forgotten in their luxurious living. Then the progress of the nation ceased, her intellectual power soon began to grow less and politically she degenerated fast until the nation fell. Germany has especially in late years made great advancement both intellectually and politically. The Germans themselves attribute a large share of their advancement due to the physical training which has been introduced into the schools and army of that country. England has for many years been among the leading nations in the advancement of the value of physical training in our schools. Here we find many brilliant men, many more than we do in France where no thought is given to the physical side of the education. In our own country where excellence in intellectual ability is being much sought and attained we find that the people are giving much more attention to the physical side of education than a few years ago.

Citation: Baird, Nellie Wilhelmina. The relation of the physical body to the mental body. Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1905. ; Morse Department of Special Collections ; Introduction: When we consider physical culture in the various states of development, we find that it runs parallel with the intellectual and ethical efforts of mankind. The latter were caused, to a great extent, by the material wants of the individual. To the pre -historic human being, the struggle for existence was a severe teacher of physical training. Man, in his primitive state soon found that he who could handle the largest club and throw the heaviest stone had the best prospects for life. The wild woods were his gymnasium; his competitive games were battles for life, either with the beasts of the woods or with the human foes of his tribe. History tells us of but one people in whom physical culture manifested itself, as it were, as the living idea of beauty. These were the ancient Greeks. But only for a comparatively short time did the Greeks stand on this unparalleled high pedestal of physical culture. In proportion to their intellectual and political decline physical culture returned again to little better than barbarism, proving thus that mind and body will always ascend or descend together. Though the aspiration for the noble and beautiful had proved the most successful teacher of physical culture, the Romans dismissed him and engaged Master War again as their ideal teacher. It is true he served them faithfully, but could not prevent the dawn fall of the Roman Empire, because the Roman mind soon degenerated and mighty Rome died of voluptuousness. In the Middle Ages chivalry became the bearer of physical training, but the people at large were "dumb -driven cattle". Europe fell victim to this piratical state. Rapacity, ambition, struggle for supremacy were the motives of its physical culture.
