Morse Index Theorems for elliptic boundary value problems in multi-dimensions are proved under various boundary conditions. The theorems work for star-shaped domains and are based on a new idea of measuring the "oscillation" of the trace of the set of solutions on a shrinking boundary. The oscillation is measured by formulating a Maslov index in an appropriate Sobolev space of functions on this boundary. A fundamental difference between the cases of Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions is exposed through a monotonicity that holds only in the former case.
