A Check List of hesces aid
Dissertations i Zexas Jistory
1907-1952
Compiled and edited by C LA UDE ELLIOTT
EDITOR'S NOTE: The following check list of theses and dissertations
in Texas history produced in the Departments of History of eighteen

treasures and to make them more available to those who wish to
use them.

in Texas. The greatest hope which inspired the making of the
check list was that such list might be of real value to writers and
research students. These historical materials, known only to a
few, may through this means be accessible to anyone desiring
them.
Obviously such abstracts as appear below could not have been
obtained and assembled without the co-operation of every libra-
