The Suburban Weekly, Henry V. Straka

Bachelors’ Theses

Until recent years, there were only two classes or· types of journalism, metropolitan and community, their products being the city daily and the small town weekly. With changing social and industrial conditions, however, and a consequent growth or' suburban communities, another and distinct type of journalism has grown up. This is the suburban weekly. Just as the community newspaper is radically different from the metropolitan daily, so is the suburban weekly distinct from either. It is not a glorified country paper, neither is it a small-scale city newspaper. While it embodies some of the features of both, it is yet …

The Several Theories Of Modern Scenic Design, Noel Richard Seim

Bachelors’ Theses

The object of this paper is to give the various phases of the trend of modern Scenic Design. I say phases because each unit treated is merely another aspect of the one major movement, Abstraction. Consequently it is impossible to make any definite division. Moreover, every theatrical production is always carried out in several of these theories; no artist holds to one.

Also it ls necessary to state that only the theoretical side has been treated. To consider the technical and the mechanical methods would bring this paper beyond its purpose. We are interested not in how the artist works …

Modern Elements In The Graphic Arts, Carroll Arimond

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to define and illustrate what is meant by the word "modernism" as applied to art, and how it has evidenced itself in the graphic arts - namely, printing, lithography, and the other applied arts which appeal to the sense of sight. The samples of the graphic arts used in the compilation of this thesis are from the pages of America's leading magazines portraying to the reader the influence of the new school on the advertising industry. Hence the ultimate purpose will be to show how advertising has been revolutionized in its mechanics and to …

The Influence Of Business Upon Country Newspapers, Robert J. Burt

Bachelors’ Theses

This thesis is intended to point out the effect which business conditions have exerted upon the typical country weekly newspaper.in point of editorial policy, treatment of the news, and the handling of advertising. Particular emphasis is laid on the effects of the current business depression, although some of the practices enumerated are undoubtedly of long standing and have no direct connection with present conditions.

Although some of the points to be discussed are to be classified among the faults of newspapers, this is not intended as a wholesale condemnation of the country news­ paper. In editorial optimism and overdisplay of …

The History Of American Dramatic Criticism, Philip W. Behling

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to dev­elop a historical background for the craft of the modern dramatic critic. Since no one is more criticized than the critic it is only just that his place in literature be establish­ed and his rights enforced.

The gradual development of theatrical criticism in America has been an interesting succession of problems and difficulties. Yet under these circumstances the newspaper has suc­cessfully maintained its independent attitude and today the theatrical page has become a popular feature in every paper.

Thus in this thesis the chief purpose is to summarize the history of criticism while …

Bibliography For Journalism Students, Margaret Fitzgerald

Bachelors’ Theses

It is a lamentable fact that, in the past, very few people have seen fit to make a bibliography of journalistic material for reference for journalism students, newspaper workers, and others who have made or intend to make writing a vocation. The need of such a bibliography is evident. Practically all other fields of endeavor have at their disposal unlimited material with which to work. In journalism, as much as in any other work, it is essential to have a fund of references on hand which are easily available at all times. It is for this reason that I have …

Debate Strategy, Hugo E. Hellman

Bachelors’ Theses

This work is the outgrowth of two years of debating activity at Marquette University. Very early in his car­eer as a debater the writer realized that the subject treated in these pages is one which has received little attention from the numerous writers on the subject of debate. A perusal of most of these in preparation for this writing served to make this realization a conviction. The possessor of such a conviction, as the writer of a Bachelor's Thesis realizes that his position is somewhat unique and not exactly a happy one, for he invades a field as old as …

The Decrease Of Population In Towns And Its Effect On The Country Weekly, Cyril B. Hegy

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to find out what effect the decrease of population in towns has had on the newspapers in them and to compare this effect with the other reasons advanced for the numerical decline of the country weekly.

The size of the town taken for this investigation was set between 5,000 and 1,000 population. The maximum was taken as 5, 000, in spite of the fact that the U.S. census considers over 2,500 population as urban, as being more rural from the viewpoint of newspapers. Towns under 1,000 population were omitted as no figures for these …

Case Studies In Special Anniversary Editions Of Weekly Newspapers, Harry Horgan

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to show whether or not special editions, and especially anniversary editions of weekly newspapers, are a profitable venture for publishers. This will be gone about by taking each paper and pointing out in it the advertising that was secured merely for this one edition. Besides this the regular advertising that was increased for this issue will be pointed out. With the amount of extra advertising known, conclusions will be drawn as to which of these special editions were profitable and how much advertising is needed to make them so.

Selected Case Studies In The Right Of Privacy, Cedric J. Voglewede

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to discover how far and in what particular way the right of privacy of an individual is recognized by law, in decisions, common law and statute.

This is done with a view to finding the principles upon which the right of privacy is now based, so that a proper interpretation of the present situation will result in a better understanding of the rules which must be considered by newspapers and other publications in regard to this right of the individual, and to estimate the probable course of the development of the law pertaining to …
