Abstract
The Cold War period in the United States was a tumultuous time of change, hampered by a spirit of fear and anxiety which came as a reaction to the violence of the Second World War. The change in leadership of the federal government at the end of the war disrupted the programs of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director J. Edgar Hoover once President Harry S. Truman founded the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in early 1946. Recently released FBI documents provide new evidence demonstrating how the relationships between these leaders affected the development of the intelligence community including the creation of the National Security Council (NSC). The uneasy relationship between President Truman and J. Edgar Hoover in the late 1940s and early 1950s provided checks and balances for both men whose goals included expansion of power for their individual offices.

Abstract
This thesis examines the experiences of female patients in mental health institutions in the early twentieth century using two patient medical files from the Oregon State Hospital in the 1920s as a case study. The two patient case files are examined for their content regarding the treatments given to patients in order to determine the rationale behind the treatments. This rationale would often cross the line between treatment and discipline. The treatments were chosen in reaction to the behaviors of the patients and were an attempt to control their bodies. The treatments examined are put into context with a comparison to the greater psychiatric medical field as presented by secondary scholarship. This scholarship includes the works of both medical historians such as Joel Braslow and social historians including John D’Emilio and Estelle Freedman. Through the examination of the two case files and secondary scholarship the therapeutic rationale of physicians is inspected. This thesis takes the narrative of two female patients from the Oregon State Hospital and orients them in the medical field of the period. An evolution of psychiatric treatment occurred from the 1890s through the 1950s and by analyzing the field in the 1920s this thesis presents a look at one point within this change.

Abstract
Facilities such as zoos, aquariums, natural history museums, wildlife refuges, and more have been implementing environmental education programs with the intention of educating visitors on topics including conservation, natural history, and being better stewards of the environment. In zoos, programs like these have been implemented as early as the 1950s (Hancocks, 2001). However, research on the effective methods of behavior change for the environment is few and far between, and may not always be taken into account in the development of some zoo education programs. This project will attempt to bridge this gap through an analysis of current research on empathy and pro-environmental behavior change. I will develop an improved day camp curriculum for incoming fifth grade children to not only teach them about animals and the environment, but to inspire pro-environmental behavior change within the children, based upon the research I conduct. I will be focusing on the Oregon Zoo as my model, because I have been involved at the Oregon Zoo for over eight years, and know the grounds extensively. With this background knowledge of the individual animals living in the zoo, I will be able to intertwine classroom activities with grounds tours and other animal experiences. Interpreting living collections is what attracts, inspires, and enables people of all ages to act positively for conservation (Esson & Moss, 2010). The end result of this project will include a literature review, a new curriculum that could be 5 implemented at the Oregon Zoo, along with activity resources for camp, and a bonus activity that could be done by any Oregon Zoo visitor.
