An Investigation Of Plays Of American Authorship Produced In New York, 1930 To 1935, Gunnar Horn

Student Work

The diversity of American drama today is its most noticeable characteristic. At the present time anyone looking for an underlying unity seems doomed to failure.

Generally speaking, of course, that drama is greatest which is vital to the greatest number of people . Possibly dramatic geniuses will eventually arise to interpret this period in its larger aspects. In the meantime, all drama, just as life and thought, is fragmentary; and playgoers must content themselves with divers inspirations from wildly differing minds.

A Study Of The Work Of The Cache County Consumers Council During 1934-1936, J. Stanford Larson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Riding the crest of the torrent of verbal altruism which flooded in the New Deal came a malnurtured little fellow, the consumer - the same timid, mistreated, gullible little fellow with the battered derby hat whom cartoonists have so aptly pictured on the stool peering meekly over the counter at the big bruiser, the producer, who stood behind it. Put now he was to be such rejuvenated personage. The hair shirt in which one writer has so smartly dressed him was to be miraculously transformed into finest armor of an impregnable protective alloy which was to be composed of numerous …

The Use Of ΧάΡιε In The Pauline Epistles, Walter W. Stuenkel

Bachelor of Divinity

The word χάριδ, under consideration in this thesis, holds a peculiar prestige in Lutheran theology. Our Lutheran Church is distinctly proud when it unfurls the banner of salvation by grace alone, and thereby distinguishes itself from all heterodox and unchristian bodies which corrupt this doctrine taught by χάριδ in Scripture and especially clarified in the Pauline Epistles.

A Treatment Of The Article Of New Testament Greek, Raymond Pollatz

Bachelor of Divinity

Since the turn of the century the conceptions of New Testament language have undergone a radical change. Until this time "Biblical" Greek was essentially an isolated language. Two extremes had been followed in the appraisal of the New Testament Greek. On the one hand, the Purist insisted on finding parallels for all constructions in classical Greek. This was an impossible task. On the other hand, we had the Hebraist who found Semitic influence where there was none. Two separate groups of evidence have entered to break down these false conceptions. These are the papyri and the inscriptions of the age.

A Comparison Of The Views Of Plato And Paul On The Immortality Of The Soul, Oswald C. Hoffmann

Bachelor of Divinity

Of all the conflicts which Christianity passed through in the early stages of its history, that with philosophy seems to have been the most severe and the most far-reaching in its effects. Judaism was firm and self-reliant, because it was in a sense supernatural; Gentilism was pliable, because it was ignorant and weary of itself; but philosophy was obstinate, because, regarding religions as superstitions, it recognized no special merit in Christianity, and attempted to ridicule it out of existence when its unprepared defenders first announced it. With the representatives of the Epicurean, Stoic and New Academic schools, or with the …

An attempt was made to prove these points of similarity by direct quotations from both poets.

The French Revolution And Its Effect On 18th Century Europe, Ralph Renzel

Bachelors’ Theses

The France of the old regime was a very great and ancient structure -in building which fifty generations had been engaged for more than fifteen centuries. Each of these generations had left its mark upon it, always adding to the work of the past and hardly ever pulling down or removing anything. Moreover, its plan was confused, its styles were incongruous, and its parts lacked proportion. Some portions had been abandoned and threatened to fall into ruin; others were inconvenient; others were too luxurious. But, taking it all in all, the total effect was rich, the facade was imposing, and …
