All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The beneficial effects obtained from the application of farmyard manure to the soil have long been known in Utah, but now the point has apparently been reached where it becomes evident that the supply of manure is hardly adequate in some sections where intensive cropping is practiced. The use of commercial fertilizers to increase crop yields is a new practice in Utah agriculture as is shown in Table 1 from an estimate made from data kindly furnished by the Columbia Steel Company, Anaconda Copper Mining Company, Ford Motor Company, Armour Packing Company, and Porter Walton Company.

In either case it consisted of one room only, where all the activities of the family group took place.

From this very primitive home we have a gradual evolution taking place until we have some of the convenient, well planned homes of today. They not only afford protection and shelter, but it is here that …

The Roman Catholic Doctrine Of Infused Grace Examined And Refuted, Herman W. Gockel

Bachelor of Divinity

How this doctrine of work-righteousness, technically known as the doctrine of infused grace, or Gratia Infusa, can presume to claim any vestige of Pauline authority, may at first seem an exceedingly difficult task to demonstrate. It is for his purpose that the writer has chosen to devote the entire first chapter of his thesis to a treatment of the gradual growth and steady evolution of this doctrine from the days immediately after the Apostle Paul until the sixteenth century, when the conception of infused grace was definitely formulated and laid down as a dogma of the Church in the Canons …

The Evolution Of The Korean Family, Samuel Kendrick Dodson

Master's Theses

If the family is a fundamentally important factor in the economic, political, and social life of the nations of the West, much more i it in that of the nations of the Far East, China, Japan and Korea.

But every individual in all phases of' life was very· closely geared into the unit of the family, and all his thought and actions were determined by his relation to that unit. In this conception, China had set the pattern through hoary centuries of …

Catholicism In England Under Queen Elizabeth: 1558-1603, William F. Tiernan

Bachelors’ Theses

One of the great periods in English History is the reign of Queen Elizabeth. The name of Queen Elizabeth, or of "Good Queen Bess" as her people called her, is held in high esteem by Englishmen.It is true that Elizabeth did many things which appear to us cruel and harsh, and that she can be fairly charged with being unjust and even tyrannical. More than once she used her power and her high position to injure those of whom she was jealous or those whom she feared. But when all that can be said against Queen Elizabeth has been uttered, …

Creative Education, Clara K. Sterk

Bachelors’ Theses

How can we expect to know and understand, much less enjoy the real child in the atmosphere of rigid formality of the traditional school? By stressing the acquisition of knowledge and information, the development of skills and habits, an appeal is made only to the child’s intellectual nature. Thus, we overlook the fact that the child is a personality with more than a memory side; that he is a being com¬ posed of a body and a soul, a mind and a will, which must be trained if he is to live a full life. For the complete realization of …

The Teaching Of Art In The Elementary Grades, Josephine M. Mccrory

Bachelors’ Theses

To those who have experienced beauty in its various phases, there is no doubt as to the worth of art education. Years ago, however, during the early years of our history, when men's thoughts were concerned chiefly about their economic ideas of living, little or no thought was given to art at all. As time progresses, leisure is added, little by little, to man's program of living. He, therefore, begins to turn his thoughts toward art.

The Gifted Child, Ida H. Witt

Public School Music, George Pomerantz Sr.

Bachelors’ Theses

Our public schools which attempted to include in their program every subject which may contribute to the development of human character or to the elevation of human happiness, did not until recently, include music. Music was looked upon as an art which should be taught to the gifted ones only and, therefore, should be taught privately. It is only recently that our educators are beginning to realize the important role music plays in human life. It has been only recently that music has been introduced as a subject into the public school. Even today there is a lot of discussion …

Comparison Of Prostitution In Modern And Ancient Societies, Ora Lee Yancy

All Theses

In this treatise I aim to show how Prostitution in Modern Society differs from that of Ancient Society, according to causes, extent and effect.

The reason why I used these books in preference to other books, such as Social Pathology .. .by Queen and Mann, and Outlines of Sociolgy by Blackmar and Gillin is because of the fact that from these books I get the best information concerning Prostitution in Ancient …

The Acculturation Of Sandia Pueblo, Marjorie Ferguson

Art & Art History ETDs

To study the culture or a people, to become acquainted with the arts, folklore, religion, industries, and traditions, past and present, of what seems to be a slowly dying Indian pueblo -- was the writer's main purpose when she became interest􀀲d in Sandia pueblo, a town or the old, old Tiguex province, so often mentioned in southwestern history and folklore.

One might ask what there could be of interest in that shabby little settlement off the main highway from Albuquerque to Santa Fe. To the unsympathetic outsider such a study as was conducted at Sandia might seem nothing more than …
