The Populist Movement in Marshall County
(1935) Hearn, Thomas Kermit
The Populist movement in Marshall County had its roots in the poverty produced by the Civil War, and was to be particularly acute in that county because of the antagonism which developed between the inhabitants of the valley and the dwellers on the plateau regions of the county during that war and the Reconstruction days which followed. Fundamental economic and social differences were responsible for the political animosity between the inhabitants of the respective regions.
A survey of intestinal protozoa in 190 inmates of an insane hospital
(University of Alabama Libraries, 1937) Elliot, M.H.; Smith, Septima
In February, 1937, a study was begun by the author for the purpose of determining the presence of intestinal protozoa among a group of inmates at the Alabama State Hospital for the Insane, known as Bryce Hospital, located at Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

Mound Bayou: A Study in Social Development
(University of Alabama Libraries, 1937) Jackson, Maurice Elizabeth; Gregory, E.W.; Harlan, H.H.
While teaching in Bolivar County, Mississippi, for a number of years, the writer learned of the existence of the all-Negro town of Mound Bayou. After many years of observation, probably stimulated by interest in the objects of social research as presented by various sociologists, she began to pay some attention to Mound Bayou as a most interesting phenomenon. After this interest had arisen, upon occasions when driving through Mound Bayou, the writer began to notice certain characteristics. Mound Bayou was seen as a distinctive community in many respects. Questions as to the origin and development of some of the special features characterizing the community and distinguishing it from other more familiar types arose. The phenomenon which is Mound Bayou began to occupy a more and more J.)prominent place in the writer's mind. In time, the determination to study Mound Bayou in some systematic fashion developed. The writer hoped to understand why this community was distinctive and how it became that way.

The Diaries of John Knox Elliott: A Sociological Analysis of a Naive Document
(University of Alabama Libraries, 1939) Seale, Mettie Davidson; University of Alabama Tuscaloosa
This study concerns itself with a set of diaries kept wholly in accord with the traditional concept of such documents, and seeks to set forth as in a mirror, the reflected life of a community in Sumter County, Alabama, through the years 1839 to 1865. The diary data is complete for the period with the exception of the years 1857-1859. It is an attempt to set forth the typical group patterns of an early American Community as revealed through an analytical study of a naive document-- the diaries or John Knox Elliott. The emphasis in the study will not be upon the writer of the diaries as a man, but rather upon his relationships in social groups as revealed through his own account of his individual behavior. In order to arrive at typical patterns of group relationships, efforts will be made to examine aspects of group classification, community solidarity, and personality organization.
The Theatre in Mobile, 1820-1860
(University of Alabama Libraries, 1941) Toulmin, Mary Morgan Duggar; University of Alabama Tuscaloosa
The life and times of Robert Jemison, Jr. during the Civil War and reconstruction
(University of Alabama Libraries, 1942) Jackson, Hermione Dannelly
The Life and Times of Robert Jemison, Jr., During the Civil War and Reconstruction is an attempt not merely to set forth the bare facts of Jemison's life during his last eleven years, but to place these facts in their proper setting. Therefore it tends to be something of a summary of the Jemison Papers from 1860 to 1871, interweaving the letters written to Jemison expressing opinions on affairs of the times with the main story of his life and activities. An attempt has been made to use these papers merely as background, never losing sight of the dominant figure of Robert Jemison, Jr., in his various roles of state senator, Tuscaloosa's representative in the secession convention, president of the Alabama Senate, Confederate senator, president of the North East and South West Alabama Railroad, and business man.

Variation and Adaptation in the Imported Fire Ant Solenopsis Saevissima Richteri Forel in the Gulf States
(1950) Willson, Edward O.; University of Alabama Tuscaloosa
The imported fire ant, Solenopsis saevissima richteri Forel, is the southernmost race of a widespread and highly variable South American ant. It was introduced into the port of Mobile, Alabama, sometime around 1918 and by 1949 had spread to parts of Florida, Mississippi, and Louisiana. 2. A great deal of color variation from nest to nest has been noted in the Gulf States population. This includes an extreme blackish phase referable to the original description of richteri, an extreme reddish phase referable to no described form, and intermediates between the two. This color variation is correlated with differences in size of the ants and in appearance and proportion of their nests. 3. The variation has a genetic basis. It is suggested in this study that the variation can be explained most readily on the basis of multiple pleiotropic alleles. 4. The history of the variation has been determined as follows: The darkest forms, or richteri s. str., were the ones originally dominant from the time of the ant's introduction until at least 1929 and probably sometime after 1932. The origin of the new form is not known, although it is believed that it originated either through mutation within the population or through a second introduction. IN 1949 it was by far the dominant form. It had apparently replaced the typical richteri partly by rapid expansion and subsequent genetic dilution and partly through natural selection by direct competition. Its predominance in the main population and in at least two smaller isolated populations has evidently been responsible for a much greater success of the species. In the main population in 1949 the typical richteri was mostly limited in distribution to portions of the periphery of the range, forming with the new form roughly the concentric pattern of Matthew's modified Age-and-Area hypothesis. 5. The new form has been interpreted as functioning, regardless of its origin, as a favorable mutation introduced into the population. Its rise to dominance has constituted an extremely rapid, nearly vertical evolutionary change.
