Francis Scott Fitzgerald: Voice Of The Twenties, Rebecca Ann Barron

Honors Theses

With all the flamboyant, glitter, and riotous excitement one can muster up, the age of the Twenties brought to America an era not to be forgotten. Gansters, flappers, and two-bit saloons were all encompassed in this "Jazz-Age" which spread its influence from shore to shore. Americans became, in a sense optimists and as optimists looked toward their social and financial situation as fundamentally sound and triumphant over its predecessors. They identified themselves with their century. Its teens were their teens, its world war was their war, and its Twenties were their Twenties. Launching forward they looked about for a spokesman, …

Antigone: 441 B.C. To 1958 A.D., Sherry Gail Reynolds

Honors Theses

From 441 B.C. to 1958 A.D. is a long time, yet people have had basically the same problems for more years than that. In approximately 441 B.C., Sophocles wrote a story about a young girl who defied civil law in order to preserve the freedom of her convictions. In 1958 A.D., Mr. Dennis Holt restated this story in what he calls a "theatre poem." Antigone is considered to be perhaps the first important statement of "civil disobedience" in the western world.

Sophocles did not create the story. The content of the Oedipus trilogy, of which Antigone is a part, was …

The Generation Of '98 With Emphasis On Miguel De Unamuno, Kathy Harness

Honors Theses

The generation of '98 is a name given to certain individuals united in their literary efforts to better Spain politically, socially and culturally. The date of the group is significant since it symbolizes the transformation of Spanish life as a result of Spain's war with the United States. This group of young non-conformists consisted mainly of Valle Inclan, Azorin, Benavente, Maeztu, Baroja and Unamuno. All were characterized by their protest against Spain's immediate past, demanding new precedents to be set for future action and tradition.

The Priesthood Of Melchizedek, Monte Hollowell

Honors Theses

The priesthood of Melchizedek is a mystery to people who study the Bible very deeply. This is largely due to the mystery about man, Melchizedek. We have reference to him in three places in the Bible. In Genesis we first meet the man when he comes to meet Abram after his slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him. The king of Sodom came to meet Abram to express his gratitude to Abram for delivering his kingdom from these power hungry kings. He was expected, but it also says "and Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and …

The artist sees the conflicts in nature an in the human being and tries to express this on canvas.

The Basic Beliefs Of Hinduism And Buddhism, Joyce Mason

Honors Theses

In the world today there are approximately three billion people who belong to 11 major religions. Nearly all belong to the religion and denomination into which they were born, and accept it naturally, and are loyal to it as they are loyal to their nationality.

Religion so exists for many men. "They have been born into a culture, and it is unthinkable that religion can be anything but part of their being."

As far as can be determined, religion has existed in every society. The more we learn about the days of man on earth, the more evidence there is …

A Program For Children: Creative Dramatics, Patsy Hill

Honors Theses

A child needs beauty and love every bit as much as he needs food and exercise. He needs quiet just as he needs laughter and shouting. He needs to be alone just as he needs to be with others. He needs to work as well as to play. All components of growth are equally important if he is to develop a wholeness of personality. For a child to live is quite a different thing than for him to exist. He needs to be guided in his growing so he reaches for his best. He needs to find his way to …

The Harpsichord, Gay Gladden

One of the most fascinating keyboard instruments which precedes the pianoforte is the harpsichord. The harpsichord played a primary role in eighteenth century music. It assumed a position similar to that of the concert grand piano during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Yet, today the harpsichord is not considered an obsolete instrument. It has undergone an unprecedented revival during the present century, and the harpsichord presently enjoys a unique popularity.
