In the mid 1920's Muncie, Indiana, was exposed to the penetrating scrutiny of Robert S. Lynd and Helen M. Lynd, which resulted in the sociological treatise, Middletown. In the mid 1930's the sociological team once again descended upon "Middletown" to see what, if any, changes had taken place in the intervening ten years. The results of this survey were embodied in an equally famous treatise, Middletown In Transition. Figuring prominently in both surveys was George R. Dale, the crusading editor of the Muncie Post-Democrat of Middletown and the controversial mayor-editor of Muncie in Middletown In Transition.The purpose of this study is to present the story of Dale's battle with political corruption, Klan bigotry, and most of all, his fight for freedom of speech and a free press. The copies of the Muncie Post-Democrat and other pertinent sources which the writer deemed necessary for a proper evaluation of the study have been utilized.

The Court of Chancery in Delaware is, in regard to adjudicating corporate governance issues, the most preeminent court in the United States. The Court is one of equity, and has century-long tradition of dealing with litigation arising out of disputes concerning the internal affairs of corporations. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that sixty-four percent of Fortune 500 companies are incorporated in Delaware. What might be surprising is the frequency of shareholder litigation involving directors in M&A-transactions. The aim of this thesis is to establish what duties directors owe shareholders in the context of an M&A-transaction. The thesis thus includes a brief overview of the subject matter jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as well as a summary of how corporations are formed and how mergers are carried into effect. The main fiduciary duties directors owe shareholders as well as the standards of review with which director action is judged is then analyzed. This includes the overarching duties of care and loyalty, as well as the duty to act in good faith, the duty of oversight and the duty of disclosure. The analysis regarding the standard of reviews focuses on the business judgment rule, enhanced scrutiny under Unocal, Revlon and Blasius, and finally entire fairness. Furthermore, the effects of the recent Trulia and Corwin verdicts are discussed.

An ever-present figure throughout much of the nineteenth century, the prostitute existed in a state divorced from "traditional" womanhood as a shadowy yet "necessary" evil, and was largely seen as a static element of the city. The archetypes of the "endangered maiden" and the "fallen woman" were discursive creations evolving from an inchoate form to a more sharply defined state that were designed to explain the prostitute's continued existence despite the moral objections voiced by religious and social reformers. These archetypes functioned in an agrarian/proto-industrial society; however, under pressures of urbanization, industrialization, and population mobility, these archetypes were gradually supplanted by sharper, more emotionally loaded archetypes such as the "White Slave" and the trope of the "Vice Syndicate" to explain the prostitute. In this manner Progressive-Era social and moral reformers could interpret prostitution in general and the prostitute in particular within the framework of their understanding of a contentious social environment. In moving away from a religious framework towards a more scientific interpretation, the concept of prostitution evolved from a moral failing to a status analogous to a disease that infected the social body of the state. However, because the White Slave and the Vice Syndicate were discursive creations based upon anecdotal interpretations of prostitution as a predatory economic system, their nebulous nature encouraged a crisis mentality that could not survive a concrete examination of their "problem." Realities of race, class, and gender, as well as the fluid nature of the urban environment as well as non-moral concerns rendered the new archetypes and tropes slippery, and applicable to any reform-oriented argument. By the later years of the Progressive Era anti-vice discourse ceased to advocate moral arguments calling for the rescue of the prostitute and instead became a vehicle to articulate non-moral concerns such as political reform, social order, and female economic suffrage. After the First World War, the archetype of the White Slave collapsed in the face of women's suffrage and sexual agency, and the prostitute once more reverted to a state analogous to pre-Progressive cultural interpretations of prostitution. / History
