The Emigration Of Soren Kierkegaard, Howard V. Hong, Edna H. Hong Jan 1982

The Emigration Of Soren Kierkegaard, Howard V. Hong, Edna H. Hong

The Bridge

John and Jane Doe, USA, are pretty well aware that Denmark exports the best butter, bacon, and cheese in the world to the world. But perhaps not even Jens and Tina Jensen, second and third generation Danish-Americans, realize the extent to which the second-to-none thoughts of a nineteenth century Dane have emigrated and are emigrating to the whole wide world . Indeed, they are valued more by the world than by Danes in Denmark, who can hardly conceal their surprise that the world now pays more attention to Soren Aabye Kierkegaard (1813-1865) than to Hans Christian Andersen . The Danes …

Louis Pio In America, Thorvald Hansen

The Bridge

Since I have been working with the Danish Immigrant Archives, and especially with the Danish Immigrant Archival Listing project, it has become increasingly clear to me that those immigrants who become a part of the Danish Church represent but a small fraction of the Danes who came to this country. Sometime in the Danish Church we have, I fear, been so wrapped up in ourselves that we have lost sight of the great majority of Danes who emigrated to America and who, in one way or another have left their mark. Examples are numerous but I think of one little …

Scandinavia And The Prairie School: Chicago Landscape Artist Jens Jensen, J. R. Christianson Jan 1982

Scandinavia And The Prairie School: Chicago Landscape Artist Jens Jensen, J. R. Christianson

The Bridge

The "prairie" was a powerful symbol in Chicago around the tum of the present century. Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright and others used it to characterize a new type of architecture with strong horizontal lines and free flowing interior spaces. Poets like Vachel Lindsay and Carl Sandburg sang the glories of a new breed of prairie man and woman, growing like Abraham Lincoln out of the environment of the American heartland. Among landscape artists, Jens Jensen was the leading figure of the Prairie School. He designed "prairie parks" for the city of Chicago, and landscapes appropriate to the new "prairie …

The Bridge

"I am as water," Hans Christian Andersen wrote in a letter of 1855. "Everything moves me. Everything is reflected in me. I suppose it is part of my writer's nature, and often I have had pleasure and blessing from it, but it is often also a torment."

Is There A Significant Relationship Between Teacher Credibility And Teacher Effectiveness?, Blake D. Madsen Jan 1982

Is There A Significant Relationship Between Teacher Credibility And Teacher Effectiveness?, Blake D. Madsen

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis was designed to determine if a significant relationship exists between credibility and effectiveness in seminary teachers.
Teacher credibility was determined by an adaptation of McCroskey's semantic differential scales used for measuring teacher credibility. Teacher effectiveness was determined by a matching scripture test.
Chi square tests produced significant relationships between teacher credibility and the following: student religiosity, teacher influence and class attitude. The tests also produced significant relationships between teacher effectiveness and these variables: sex, student religiosity, teacher influence and class attitude. These relationships largely were what one would expect. The chi square test also produced a significant relationship …

Four Utah Mormon Artists As Authors, Roxie Dale Trimble Jan 1982

Four Utah Mormon Artists As Authors, Roxie Dale Trimble

Theses and Dissertations

In researching the literary and visual art forms of four Utah Mormon artists/authors, considerable evidence supports the prognosis that natural parallels do exist between the written and visual works of artists/authors. Recent as well as past historical data also confirms this hypothesis.

To implement research personal interviews and written questionnaires were submitted. The resultant data compiled supports the prognosis that this parallelism does exist.

Blaise Cendrars (1887-1961), Ursula Schoeni Jan 1982

Blaise Cendrars (1887-1961), Ursula Schoeni

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Cendrars, Blaise, pseud. of Frédéric-Louis Sauser (1887-1961), Swiss poet and novelist, was born in La Chauxde-Fonds. The nomadic life imposed upon the Sauser family by the future writer's creative but impractical father permanently marked him. He continually yearned for space and travel; although he made Paris his headquarters and France his adopted country, he never stayed long in one place. A distaste for conformity, an insatiable curiosity, and a remarkable mobility of thought led Cendrars to diversify himself in a literary production overwhelming in its variety and abundance.

Albert Gallatin: America's Geneva Connection, William B. Lloyd Jan 1982

Albert Gallatin: America's Geneva Connection, William B. Lloyd

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

In February 1801, Washington, the muddy new capital of the United States, was alive with rumors of approaching conflict over the presidency. Despite a strongly anti-Federalist popular vote, electors were evenly divided between Thomas Jefferson, Republican, and Aaron Burr, so that the choice was thrown into the out-going, Federalist controlled House of Representatives. Plans to have the House rule out Jefferson and Burr in favor of a Federalist stalwart were openly discussed. 1,500 Republicans of Maryland and Virginia were reported to be preparing to descend on Washington to assassinate any man thus chosen. The Governor of Maryland was urged to …

Antonio Possevino, S.J. As A Counter-Reformation Critic Of The Arts, John Patrick Donnelly S.J. Jan 1982

Antonio Possevino, S.J. As A Counter-Reformation Critic Of The Arts, John Patrick Donnelly S.J.

Quidditas

The Protestant Reformation called into question many traditions and practices of the Church, including the traditional relation of art to religion. Many Protestant theologians, for instance Calvin and especially Zwingli, condemned religious statues and art as idolatrous or superstitious, partly on the basis of Old Testament prohibitions. Luther and Lutherans approved of religious paintings but rejected the cult of the saints that had figured so largely in medieval and Renaissance religious art. In the Lutheran tradition religious art was more closely tied to the Bible, another manifestation fo the sola scriptura principle. In Catholic circles as well there arose lively …

Swiss Literature, Heinz K. Meier Jan 1982

Swiss Literature, Heinz K. Meier

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Switzerland has a rich literary tradition. In modern times both the German- and the French-speaking regions have produced important writers who left distinctive marks on the literature and culture of their time. The 18th century was a time of literary florescence in Switzerland. Important writers of that period include the Bernese patrician Albrecht von Haller (1708-77), whose long poem Die Alpen (1729; The Alps) extols the beauty and grandeur of nature; Johann Jokob Bodmer (1698-1783) and Johann Jakob Breitinger (1701-66) of Zurich, who helped free German literature from the confines of rigid rules; Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712- 78), "citizen of Geneva," …

Albert Gallatin, The Man Of Peace, William D. Carter Iii

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

On July 15, 1780, a nineteen-year old graduate of the Academy of Geneva, after forty-nine days voyage on the American vessel Kitty, put ashore at Cape Anne, Massachusetts, and on a borrowed horse rode twenty-six miles to Boston. Thus began the fortunes in the New World of Albert Gallatin who, until his death at 89 years, was to make an outstanding contribution to the life of his adopted country. Thanks to the systematic organization of his correspondence, now available in the New York Historical Society, and the dissemination of microfilms of this correspondence made possible by New York University, it …

Albert Gallatin, 176101849, A Genevan In The American Enlightenment: An Essay In Interpretation, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Albert Gallatin has been called "America's Forgotten Statesman."1 A review of scholarly and public endeavors shows, however, that he has received serious attention, especially in recent decades. Best known is, perhaps, the excellent biography by Raymond Walters Jr. of 1957, a concise, learned, and balanced portrait.2 In 1958 Rutgers University Press published Alexander Balinky's Albert Gallatin Fiscal Theories and Policies, a comprehensive study. Although Balinky profoundly misunderstood .Gallatin in favor of Hamiltonian programs, he offered nevertheless a scholarly treatise to be reckoned with.3 In 1963 Gayle Thornbrough edited the Correspondence of John Badollet and Albert Gallatin …

Albert Béguin (1901-1957), Suzanne Nalbantian

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

Béguin, Albert (1901-57), Swiss critic, translator, and editor, was born into a family of agnostic educators in La Chaux-de-Fonds, in the Neuchâtel canton. In his formative years, Béguin was attracted to the nonorthodox spiritual quality of such Catholic writers as Charles Péguy and Paul Claudel. Although Béguin eventually became a socialist dedicated to humanitarian concerns, his critical works usually emphasize the mystical aspects of literature. Béguin received his license in literature at the University of Geneva, and in 1925 he moved to Paris, where he was exposed to the ideological ferment of the era but was personally unable to adopt …

The Historical Evolution Of The Death Of King John In Three Renaissance Plays, Carole Levin Jan 1982

The Historical Evolution Of The Death Of King John In Three Renaissance Plays, Carole Levin

Quidditas

Although King John died of dysentery in 1216, three Renaissance dramas, John Bale's King Johan, The Troublesome Reign of King John, and Shakespeare's King John, reflect the influence of late medieval legends that John was dramatically poisoned. Bale and the anonymous author of The Troublesome Reign emphasize the horror of the king's death, dwelling upon his role as a religious leader; Shakespeare, however, separates John from the kingship, focusing our attention upon a frightened man. This separation echoes the medieval political theory that the kingship is composed of two bodies. By deliberately stripping away the Christian images that …
