Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University / Very little is known to date of the musical life in America during the transitionary period extending from roughly the last quarter of the eighteenth century through the first quarter of the nineteenth century. Musical life in New England would seem to have started with psalmody in the eighteenth century and then have skipped to public school music in the late 1830's, with a few native composers and itinerate singing masters bridging the two eras. However, the larger communities bordering the whole eastern seaboard developed an urbane society which readily sought to emulate English Continental musical life. Salem, during this transitionary period, was the second largest community in Massachusetts and one of the major seaports in America. As a direct result of maritime commerce, Salem became one of the wealthiest towns in America; and, as such, experienced a sophisticated society which actively supported a musical life, equal in quality to almost any in America. It was the purpose of this dissertation (1) to present a detailed picture of the musical life in Salem, Massachusetts, from the years 1783 to 1823; (2) to identify the significant musical events, personalities, and musical organizations existing during this period, and by so doing; (3) to emphasize a facet of musical performance during this period of American History.

Because many of the preserved buildings and sites function as public destinations, interpretation has the opportunity to provoke new learning experiences. In this project I examined the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill as a case study for interpretive methods of industrial historic architecture. Through reviewing current interpretive methods, describing a broad historical context, conducting interviews with Salem residents who took part in the work at the mill between the 1930s and the 1960s, and researching specific mill workers' housing in Salem, I found that the inclusion of human stories can benefit the interpretation of the architecture. By offering a specific human narrative against the background of a wider history, an exhibit can challenge the visitor to see the building in a new way. / Committee in Charge: Dr. Leland M.

History can be used as a way of studying the nutritional adequacy of past diets. The Moravians of Salem, North Carolina, were the focus of this study. Various documents were examined to gather information on the crops grown, foods eaten and daily lifestyle. Seasonal diets (spring, summer, fall, winter) were reconstructed and computer analyzed for nutritional content. The results were compared to the twentieth century data for Southern U.S. residents from the 1987-88 Nationwide Food Consumption Survey (NFCS) provided by the Human Nutrition Information Service of the USDA. Both data sets were compared to the RDA for females ages 19 - 24 years old. Overall, the Moravian diets contained high amounts of animal products, bread, fruits and vegetables. Significant differences between the diet of 1775 and 1987 data were indicated for the following nutrients: kilocalories, carbohydrate, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, riboflavin, calcium, phosphorus and iron. The Moravian diet was below 100 percent of the RDA for: vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, calcium, and magnesium. Carbohydrates, cholesterol, vitamin B6, vitamin E, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron and zinc were the nutrients below 100 percent of the RDA for the 1987 data. The Moravian diet seemed more balanced than the 1987 data. Perhaps the Moravians practiced a few of the guidelines taught in current nutrition education. Fresh fruits and vegetables and moderate alcohol consumption were common to the diet. In addition, activity levels were higher due to the lifestyle of early America. The results indicate that history can be a learning tool for nutritionists in predicting trends for the future. / Master of Science
