Render Unto Hitler: Examining The Inconsistency Between Mormon Beliefs And Mormon Policies In The Nazi Era, Nick Walker
Render Unto Hitler: Examining The Inconsistency Between Mormon Beliefs And Mormon Policies In The Nazi Era, Nick Walker
23rd Annual A. Paul and Carol C. Schaap Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity (2024)
Amid the Nazi persecution of various Christian sects, Heber J. Grant, the president and living prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS), declared to his congregation in Salt Lake City that Mormons in Germany were able to gather freely. The LDS Church has a long history of displaying its pro-Jewish beliefs, which should have made them natural enemies of the Third Reich. Yet, the Latter-Day Saints leadership, through a logical and carefully fostered survival strategy, offered legitimation to the Nazi state for the sake of self-preservation. From incorporating anti-Semitic references in LDS publications to excommunicating a …
The Downfall Of The Khedivate Of Egypt, Jacob Desenberg
The Downfall Of The Khedivate Of Egypt, Jacob Desenberg
23rd Annual A. Paul and Carol C. Schaap Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity (2024)
For my research, I wanted to look into what led the British to be able to take over Egypt. To accomplish this in this paper, I wanted to make sure that I told fair stories from both sides. I also wanted to give enough context to this timeframe of Egyptian history being an unofficial Ottoman tributary state under the control of the British by 1882. Steps that I took to properly give respect to both sides were using primary sources from the British in Egypt and Arab historians who translated the words of Egyptians during the time. I found it …
British Colonization Of New Zealand In The Nineteenth Century, Brock Hueber
British Colonization Of New Zealand In The Nineteenth Century, Brock Hueber
23rd Annual A. Paul and Carol C. Schaap Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity (2024)
Abstract not available. On poster: Thesis: The main goal of the British government in New Zealand was to assimilate the ingenuous Maori population through institutions such as the legal and educational systems. While the Maori by and large did adopt western clothing, housing, language, and property laws; they also retained a large amount of their culture. Conclusions: British colonization was largely effective, but the Maori retained a large amount of their culture.

The Spiritual Faith Journey Of Hope College, Reed Hanson
The Spiritual Faith Journey Of Hope College, Reed Hanson
19th Annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity (2020)
Over 150 years ago, Hope College was founded with a vision to become a “school of the prophets.” Philip Phelps and Albertus Van Raalte established an institution that would train ministers, pastors, missionaries, and inspirational men and women to carry the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth and to advance His kingdom revolution worldwide. Over the course of the past 150 years, Hope has endured seismic structural and spiritual changes that at times caused the school to wander away from its true goal and in turn become a lost, nearly secularized college, unfaithful to its original …
Lightning Strikes The Axis: Century Storm Boats During World War Ii, Geoffrey Reynolds
Lightning Strikes The Axis: Century Storm Boats During World War Ii, Geoffrey Reynolds
Faculty Publications
January 1941 dawned with most of the world at war with Germany, Italy, and Japan. At the 1941 National Boat Show in New York, many boat building companies were absent because they were focused on producing boats for Allied forces overseas or the defense of the United States. The Century Boat Company was the only company that displayed a small boat used for warfare alongside its pleasure craft line. This model and others would later be credited with helping win World War II.

Zheng He And The American Liberal Arts Education: Contexts And Complications, Marla Lunderberg
Zheng He And The American Liberal Arts Education: Contexts And Complications, Marla Lunderberg
Faculty Publications
Zheng He was a eunuch of Moslem family heritage who held great authority early in the Ming Dynasty, primarily under the Yongle emperor (reign: 1402–24), as he led seven maritime expeditions, of which three reached the eastern coast of Africa. Of recent English language projects on Zheng He, Henry Tsai (1996) explores the context of the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty in defining Zheng He’s work, and Edward Dreyer (2007) and Timothy Brook (2010) portray Zheng He within the context of the Chinese tributary system. However, other images also hold power over the Western imagination: Louise Levathes (1994) portrays Zheng …
Hope College And The Vietnam War Era: "We Only Started To Care When It Affected Us.", Halla Maas, Olivia Brickley
Hope College And The Vietnam War Era: "We Only Started To Care When It Affected Us.", Halla Maas, Olivia Brickley
18th Annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity (2019)
This project focuses on Hope College during the Vietnam War era. During this time, the draft created moral dilemmas for both students and faculty. When it started affecting themselves and people they knew, students felt that they needed to be educated about the war. The draft also meant that students sought deferments through such means as studying ministry, pre med, and other sciences. Hope students noticed that young men who were able to avoid the draft were usually privileged and not a part of the minority class. This led many Hope students to protest the draft and the war. These …

The Forgotten Expedition Of The Michigan Polar Bears, Laura Anthon, Jamie Breyfogle, Timothy Embertson, Natalie Weg
18th Annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity (2019)
The Michigan Polar Bear expedition saw Allied forces leading a controversial excursion into Northern Russia during the concluding years of World War I. Despite thousands of soldiers being sent to interfere with the Russian Civil War, the Polar Bear Expedition has been lost from collective memory. We publicly inquired about the expedition, then combined this research with a found scholarly consensus about the lack of cognizance relating to the events. This revealed a disconnect, which led us to inquire as to the nature and origin of its historical omission. Our primary sources of research focused on the oral histories of …

The 1876 Centennial Exposed: How Souvenir Publications Reveal Contrasting Attitudes Of Race And Gender In The Post-Bellum United States, Hope Hancock
Mellon Scholars' Works
The Centennial Exhibition of 1876 celebrated not only the 100-year anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence but the industrial innovation and reuniting of American society after the Civil War.

Curiosité Gastronomique Et Cuisine Exotique Dans L'Entre-Deux-Guerres Une Histoire De Goût Et De Dégoût, Lauren R. Janes
Curiosité Gastronomique Et Cuisine Exotique Dans L'Entre-Deux-Guerres Une Histoire De Goût Et De Dégoût, Lauren R. Janes
Faculty Publications
À partir de 1890, plusieurs revues de recettes de cuisine commencèrent à évoquer les habitudes culinaires des peuples colonisés. Les articles et recettes naviguèrent sans cesse entre deux pôles. Le plus puissant consistait à susciter une forme de dégoût chez le lecteur, fondant ainsi un sentiment d’altérité et de supériorité vis-à-vis de populations présentées comme primitives car mangeant du chien, des insectes ou des aliments avariés. Mais parallèlement, il existait un exotisme acceptable, non transgressif, lié à la consommation de fruits tropicaux ou de plats au curry, qui trouvèrent alors leur place dans la cuisine bourgeoise de l’entre-deux-guerres.
