The speaking career of Pat Morris Neff.

The purpose of this study is to present Pat Morris Neff's career as a speaker. This study sought to discover and record facts concerning the life and speaking of Mr. Neff, a native Texan, who has been rated frequently as "an eloquent speaker." The study was made using the following speeches: (1) a specialized biography of Pat Morris Neff as a speaker; (2) personality and characteristics of Mr. Neff which represents a consideration of those particular traits as connected with his speeches; (3) a study of the issues and occasions that prompted the preparation and presentation of his speeches; (4) a critical analysis and examination of three speeches, a list of speeches and on preparation and delivery. The speeches selected for analysis were: (1) A Call to Arms, (2) Campaign Speech at Hillsboro when campaigning for governor, (3) Christian Patriots in a Chaotic World. This thesis makes no pretenses of an exhaustive study of the speaking career of Pat Morris Neff. Mr. Neff's speaking warrants intensive treatment at much greater length than one thesis permits, for his influence as a speaker was considerable.
