The Works Council, George J. Bottkol
Bachelors’ Theses
The Works Council idea is somewhat of an innovation in American industry. It received its greatest impetus during the World War and has sinoe been adopted by many of our largest industries. Although all Works Council plans aim at the fundamental principles of joint management, employee representation, and collective bargaining, the forms or constitutions of the various private Councils vary in detail.
St. Peter, The First Bishop Of Rome, Roberta Helz
St. Peter, The First Bishop Of Rome, Roberta Helz
Bachelors’ Theses
From the beginning of Christendom, when Christ Himself designated Peter as the rock of invincible strength, and the chief foundation atone of the Apostolic Church, Matthew 16: 18, 19, up to the Reformation, the Primacy of St. Peter had met with no opposition. After the Reformation a partisans spirit in the interest of orthodox Protestantism against the Roman Church called into question this fact so universally admitted. The leading opponents were U. Valerius (1520), K. Flaccus (1564), Blondel (1641), and later Baur (1831), all champions of the Reformation. They further contended that Peter never resided in Rome, nor could that …
The Social And Historical Background Of Eighteenth Century English Neo-Classicism, Thomas A. Byrne
The Social And Historical Background Of Eighteenth Century English Neo-Classicism, Thomas A. Byrne
Bachelors’ Theses
It is almost a platitude to say that literature is a reflection of life and that authors are the spoksemen of the age in which they live. Literature is the mouthpiece of a nation, a mouthpiece which speaks the commonest reflections and the highest meditations of a people. Else if this were not true why should scholars regard as valuable historical evidence the comments of contemporary writers? To the literature of the Greeks and Romans we owe what knowledge we have of the life and thought of those ancient races. This is not the less true of our modern nations. …
The Compatibility Of Church And Science, John H. Casey
The Compatibility Of Church And Science, John H. Casey
Bachelors’ Theses
The intellectual fashion, if such there be, obtained quite a few years ago to maintain that there was no such a thing as compatibility between religion and science. Like all fashions, it has passed out of vogue and the inherent and foolish fallacy behind it has been repeatedly an effectively exposed. However, it has exhibited another characteristic of all fashions by returning and finding favor in some quarters. Fortunately, its second inaugural is not so auspicious or general since the original style, while it caught the popular fancy, was too unmercifully denounced and derided to allow for a second successful …

The Limitations Of Impressionism In Literature, Thomas J. Campbell
The Limitations Of Impressionism In Literature, Thomas J. Campbell
Bachelors’ Theses
The farmer on plowing a field for the first time, almost invariably, marks out the course of the first furrow with stakes. That is, he must plant at least three stakes by which he may strike out straightly the first furrow upon which the condition of all the following furrows depend. Now we are not going to plow a new tract of land, because literary criticism has been hashed over again and again, but we do need a little of the farmer's prevision and precaution in entering such a large and diverse field as literary criticism embraces. We too, must …

The Human Will Is Free, Richard V. Carpenter
The Human Will Is Free, Richard V. Carpenter
Bachelors’ Theses
The freedom of the will is one of the most important questions in philosophy. So much has been written on the subject that it hardly seems worth while to treat it in a thesis in which nothing can be said which has not already been said a number of times. The two opposing parties in the controversy have completed their respective cases; they have fully entrenched themselves behind volumes and volumes of weighty libraries and are now but waiting new recruits. As a matter of fact, though both sides of the debate seem to have exhausted their arguments, though they …
The Necessary Relation Of Morality To Literature And Its Apparent Neglect In Our Modern Works, Muriel Bruett
The Necessary Relation Of Morality To Literature And Its Apparent Neglect In Our Modern Works, Muriel Bruett
Bachelors’ Theses
Literature has a purpose beyond itself, the expression of truth, the transmission of knowledge from generat1on to generation, and the elevation and strengthening of the man. It is clear that the purpose of reading is to put ourselves into communication with the best minds of the race. Unless we read a man for all there is in him, we gain little but a disorganized group of pages. Books should be real things. For if we admit that there is an intrinsic value in anything, we must admit the objective value of literature, that there is something which stamps a book …
The English Inn In English Literature, Eugene E. Ball
The English Inn In English Literature, Eugene E. Ball
Bachelors’ Theses
Perhaps no institution holds higher rank in, or has had more influence on English literature than the English Inn. Famed alike in song and story, it has come down to us through the centuries as a sacred sanctuary of thought and culture, where the creators of the sagas of our native tongue sought congenial companionship, where the sharp flash of wit, and the quick thrust of repartee kindled inspiration into flame.
