Silas Mitchell, Poet, Margaretha Strodthoff

Bachelors’ Theses

There was a man whose name was Luke. He was not a clergyman, he was a physician. He felt, however, that he had something to say about the Master which none of those other men had said.

A Study Of The Interrelations Between Dos Passos' Personal Philosophy, Objectives, And Techniques And The Influence Of The Zeitgeist On Them, James R. Wilson

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

For several reasons Dos Passos is important to the development of American literature. His novels, with their integrity, breadth, and architectonic form, are painted on a larger canvas than any other American writers. In Manhattan Transfer, his fourth novel, he attempted to portray the greatest metropolis in the world, New York City. He succeeded as well as anyone ever has. Then, refusing to rest on his cars, he went on to the trilogy U. S. A., which takes all of twentieth century American life as its subject. This is Dos Passos' epic of modern Americanlife, the most successful of the …


The Measurement Of Vocabulary Of High School Students : A Study Of The Reliability Of Existing Tests, George Wendell Kellogg Jul 1939

The Measurement Of Vocabulary Of High School Students : A Study Of The Reliability Of Existing Tests, George Wendell Kellogg

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

In view of the number of vocabulary tests that have been made in recent years and the resulting widespread use of estimates based on them, the question of whether or not a reliable absolute estimate of a person ' s vocabulary can be made from existing tests is of paramount importance . Before attacking the problem, it was necessary to define "an individual's vocabulary." It was decided that in this study vocabulary would mean not merely the number of words a person could use, but the total number of words the meanings of which he could recognize. A "reliable estimate" …

The Indian In Southwestern Fiction, Ella Brice Morris Kennedy May 1938

The Indian In Southwestern Fiction, Ella Brice Morris Kennedy

English Language and Literature ETDs

To the writer of fiction who has his ear to the ground, the recent multiplication of books in Indian fictional literature in the Southwest offers both a hint and a challenge. For years the growth of Indian fiction in the Southwest was slow and its product unimportant, and this in spite of the fact that excellent examples were set by both Helen Hunt Jackson and Adolf Bandelier . Perhaps the primitive mind was thought too rudimentary for the complex psychological studies popular in the closing years of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth.

Sherwood Anderson: An Appreciation Of His Life And Fiction, Kenneth Davenport May 1937

Sherwood Anderson: An Appreciation Of His Life And Fiction, Kenneth Davenport

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

It has been only in the past four decades that Americans have awakened to the fact that they could have a literature which is not dependent on any foreign country, particularly that of England. It has been only in this period of time that an interest has been awakened in the history of American letters and the reasons for their development along their specific lines. Without attempting to assign causes, it is at once in evidence that the literature of America, with only two exceptions, to the beginnings of realism is strongly tied to the literature of Europe, particularly to …
