No full textIncludes transcript and five photographs.contained in: George Ricks Memorial World War II Oral History ArchiveProduced in Elgin, Texas.James “Dud” Morris was born in 1925 to corn and cotton farmers in Elgin, Texas. In 1943, at the age of seventeen, Morris voluntarily joined the Navy after hitchhiking with a friend around Texas to get to Austin and be recruited. After boot camp in San Diego, California, Morris spent most of his time in Iwo Jima during WWII. Morris recounts the bloody battlefield, the empty streets of Iwo Jima, how Japanese culture influenced his outlook, and the PTSD that came with all of it. Morris concludes with a vivid story of returning to Elgin after a month-long journey of hitchhiking home post-war.

William Morris and Diego Rivera: The Pursuit of Art for the People
Get PDFThe purpose of this thesis is to draw parallels between the art and philosophy of William Morris (1834-1896) and Diego Rivera (1886-1957). Morris drew on his interest in gothic art and architecture, his love of Romantic literature, and his commitment to social reform, to articulate the aesthetic and social vision of the Arts and Crafts Movement in England. Examples of Morris’s writings and his handicraft in the form of wallpapers, books, furniture, and the Red House will be examined. Diego Rivera was a Mexican painter and socialist activist perhaps best known for his murals depicting the working class. Several of Rivera’s murals will be discussed. Although not contemporaries, Morris and Rivera shared ideological kinship by expressing national identity in their work, advocating for art for all people, and promoting a socialist agenda through their writing and art. Divided into two sections, the paper provides a brief biography of each man, describing their lives and works, followed by a discussion of the nationalistic themes portrayed in their work, their views on availability of art for everyone, and their beliefs that socialism could elevate working classes. William Morris and Diego Rivera lived on different continents during separate time periods in history and yet had similar sources of inspiration that influenced their work. Both were influenced by architecture, the relationship between labor and mechanized production, the cultural and historical identity of their respective homelands, and socialist politics; both, in their own way, embraced their theme of art for the people

A History of Catholic School Education in San Diego County, California, from 1850 to 1936
Get PDFThe purpose of this dissertation was to research, present, and thus to preserve, information concerning Catholic school education in San Diego County from 1850 to 1936. The historical method of research was the research methodology utilized in the study, in which the author primarily investigated original documents stored in religious archives. The author details the thirteen Catholic schools that came into existence during the time period; describes the background and arrival in San Diego County of the seven religious communities that conducted the various schools; and portrays the early leaders responsible for the growth and development of Catholic education in San Diego County. It was noted in the dissertation that Catholic schools gained a foothold in San Diego County in the 1880\u27s largely through the initiative of Father Anthony Dominic Uback, pastor of San Diego from 1866 to 1907. This Catholic leader was responsible for securing the first religious community of women to teach in San Diego County, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, an influential community who would conduct seven of the first nine Catholic schools to open in the County. Until 1936, San Diego County formed a part of either the Diocese of Monterey or of Los Angeles, and it was concluded that, in comparison to the rest of the Diocese, Catholic education developed slowly in San Diego County. Indeed, prior to 1900, there existed only one private school for Catholics, the Academy of Our Lady of Peace, and three schools for Indians. It was not until 1912 that the first diocesan school opened in San Diego County. Nevertheless the Catholic schools instituted during the eighty-six year period under investigation were widely dispersed throughout the County, from San Ysidro in the south, Fort Yuma in the east and San Luis Rey in the north. The dissertation may serve as a valuable contribution to the study of Catholic educational history in San Diego County. Furthermore, a better understanding of contemporary Catholic education is gained throughout the background of historical research documented in the study
