The Utah Fleet: A History Of Ships In The United States Navy That Bore Utah Place Names And Personality Names, Robert Anthony Sumbot

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Down through the annals of history, man has perpetually engaged in conflicts; out of necessity he has progressed a long way from the bow and arrow stage of warfare. By the very nature of man's identity he has been a living example of progress and development. He never stands still during war or peace. Out of each encounter it appears he has learned and added a little more to the mechanics and theory of warfare, thereby making each war a succession of progress. This is a study of man's efforts to use and control the vast watery barriers which face …

The Identification Of Basic Problems Found In The Bassoon Parts Of A Selected Group Of Band Compositions, J. Wayne Johnson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Since the early sixteenth century, the bassoon has played a role of varying importance in musical organizations. Early groups used as many as twenty-four bassoons in conjunction with other instruments. Today, it is common to have no more than two or three bassoons in bands and orchestras because other instruments, as they developed, have replaced the bassoon in the instrumentation of such groups. Although the bassoon is not as important numerically as it formerly was, its place in musical organizations is assured because it has expressive colors and tonal qualities which cannot be duplicated by any other instrument. The bassoon …

Elementary Music Supervision In The Logan City Schools: Its Relationship To The General Music Program In Its Historical Setting, Amelia M. Beecher

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This study has been made in response to some of the problems observed in the general music program of the Logan City School District during the five-year period 1960-1965. As the number of classroom units increased during these years, the function of the elementary music supervisor was modified. Supervision as a "visiting music teacher" on a bi-monthly schedule gradually changed to supervision as a "teacher consultant" whose scheduled classroom visits were once a month or less.

During these scheduled visits, the classroom teacher planned and presented two or more music lessons for observation. Other scheduled contacts were either teacher-supervisor consultations, …

The Mormons And The Civil War, Boyd L. Eddins

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

I had intended originally to write on another subject and had begun the research. However, in the process of perusing sources available, a related subject captured my interest. The Mormon prophecy relating to the Civil War had been a source of my belief in the efficacy of latter-day revelation. I was under the impression that my Church was extremely interested in current events as indication of the fulfillment of prophecy. I theorized that if such a direct, detailed prophecy as the one received in 1832 by Joseph Smith, began to unfold in our day, considerable excitement would be aroused. Perhaps …

In Search Of The Elizabethan Woman, Melba Mcdonald Burrows

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The modern woman, who analyzes every detail of her existence by means of the written word, finds the Elizabethan woman an enigma that defies a satisfactory solution. She received the finest education available in her day, and she lived during some of the stirring events in English history; yet she has left us almost no written record of her personal life and her attitude toward the world she knew. We catch glimpses of her materialistic life in the detailed accounts in which she recorded the financial transactions affecting her husband’s properties, but we do not know how she regarded the …
