Function And Organization Of A Clinical Laboratory In A General Hospital (For Superintendents), Mary Helena Otterbacher

Bachelors’ Theses

The object of this paper is to bring before the superintendents of hospitals the necessity of a well organized and a well functioning clinical laboratory. It is one of the most important service departments in the entire organization of the hospital. In no field of medicine or hospital work have such strides been made in raising the hospital to a more scientific level, as in the laboratory. The practice of medicine was advancing very slowly until the sciences of bacteriology, biology, and pathology were applied to human processes. These overcame the apparent insurmountable obstacles,which had hitherto prevented the advancement of …

The Ethical Aspects Of The Shavian Theatre, Bertha R. Ott

Bachelors’ Theses

Few dramatists are so widely discussed, so excessively journalized as is George Bernard Shaw, and, as a result, few are more misunderstood. Many consider him a hero, accepting all his dictums with no critical observations on their own part, and, on the other hand, many denounce him whole-heartedly as an insincere iconoclast who is entirely negative and destructive. It is my purpose to show that Shaw is neither of these, -- that his philosophy of life as set forth in the plays is either constructive in a certain sense, or, if destructive, destructive only so far as it is necessary …

The Growth Of Civic Education In The Schools, Alice F. Lantry

Bachelors’ Theses

The term "civics" is now generally used to refer to the teaching of "civil government" including all those projects which tend to develop an interested, intelligent, efficient, loyal citizenship. It is much broader in scope than the term "civil government" which was formerly used and which was but a synonym for machinery of government.

Shakespeare And The Aristotelian Katharsis Specifically Studied In The Plays Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, And Macbeth, Meta Charlotte Kortebein

Bachelors’ Theses

In studying Shakespeare with a view to his complying with Aristotle’s idea of the Tragic Katharsis it is primarily necessary to have a clear conception of the meaning of Katharsis and Aristotle's valuation of its function in the tragedy. After such knowledge has been firmly acquired it will facilitate a reading of Shakespeare from the standpoint of Katharsis.

John Millington Synge And The Irish Dramatic Revival, Ethel L. Kuehn

Bachelors’ Theses

If poetry be “emotion remembered in tranquillity," as Wordsworth said, then drama is, or must seem to be, emotion visualized in action. Drama, by its nature,- can come into being only when men are moved powerfully and suddenly to record the circumstances of life; for the dramatic form is the most exacting of literary forms, demanding a high and sustained emotion in the author. The great ages of drama have thus been those when life has been raised to an unusual intensity, or viewed with an excited surprise. The artist may take what he desires from life, and, letting all …

Some Methods Of Vegetative Reproduction In Nephrolepis Cordifolia, Presl, Mildred Frances Hubel

Bachelors’ Theses

Nephrolepis cordifolia, Presl is reproduced by means of spores, rhizomes, runners, and tubers. Little work has been done, however, on the tubers. In fact, the tubers are generally thought to be for storage only and consequently of little importance. At the Royal Palm Nurseries, Oneca, Florica where the plants for this study were obtained, the tubers were removed and thrown away. When a request was made for a large plant with the tubers, they replied: "We cannot supply the large cordifolia with the bulbs, as they were pruned off all our plants. They do not present a very attractive appearance …

Air Transportation, Ralph N. Hoh

Bachelors’ Theses

A little more than ten years ago, flying was regarded by all but the most daring as an extremely dangerous art and one having no practical value. This condition of thought was to be rapidly changed, for the coming of the World War gave to aviation the impetus that was eventually to make this mode of transportation one of the very great importance in our daily lives.

The Ethics Of A Newspaper, Joseph A. Hussa

Bachelors’ Theses

In writing this thesis, it shall not be our purpose to set up a list of rules for the editor or reporter, there are plenty such prepared by able journalists, but to discover and examine those ethical principles which underlie the publishing of news as it is ordinarily done, through the newspapers. Every journalist worthy of the name is guided by a set of rules which he had drawn up for himself or his employer has set up for him. Generally it is a set of working rules with especial attention to the business side of journalism, but the ethics …

The Trade Press As An Advertising Medium, Edwin J. Nally

Bachelors’ Theses

"Good advertising consists in making a favorable impression on a possible customer."

That the above statement or definition is true the majority of modern business men will agree, but as to the means or media of reaching the possible customer they will disagree. There are those who claim that this or that particular media is the best and most effective means of reaching a certain clientele or market, and there are almost as many more who will claim that one of the other mediums is more effective.

Contemporary American Drama: William Vaughn Moody And Eugene O'Neil, Helen F. Corrigan

Bachelors’ Theses

In any study of contemporary American drama, two names inevitably stand out from among the myriads of native playwrights - those names - William Vaughn Moody and Eugene O'Neil. Yet neither of these can be literary pigeon-holed. Moody's death prevented him reaching his full development. Consequently his work is mostly indicative - indicative of what it might have been had he lived.

The Little Theater Movement: Its Sponsors And What It Means To The Stage Of The Future, Gretchen Colnik

Bachelors’ Theses

What is undoubtedly the newest, freest, and most democratic form of art on the American stage today, is the development of the Little Theater, that sweeping Movement which in the last fifteen years has done more in awakening the sense of beauty in American people than any other one art.

Mysticism In The Metaphysical School Of Poets, Jessie Donaldson Corrigan

Bachelors’ Theses

In the desire to transcend the physical world, men of every age have set foot upon the "Mystic Way". This desire, which is a thing internal and intuitive, has been called the "instinct for transcendence." Once upon the mystic way, "the wistful eyes of Life are set towards a vision that is also a Home - a Home from which news can reach us now and again".

Influences That Went To The Making Of Edmund Burke In His Career As An Orator, James Crowley

Bachelors’ Theses

Edmund Burke looms before us through the mist of years as a prodigy of eloquence and knowledge; devoted to the good or his country; an unselfish and disinterested patriot; a sage whose moral wisdom shines far beyond his own generation and century. He was the most remarkable man who has taken part in public affairs, from the thrilling days of our Revolution down to the present time. The life and principles of so great, a man are a fascinating study to all admirers of the work he accomplished. If history has any interest or value, it is to show the …

The Bearing Of Nationalism Upon The Indian Church, Helen M. Nicholson

Graduate Thesis Collection

There are various conceptions of nationalism, but the one which is incorporated here is that which has to do with a national consciousness, a feeling of unity among those inhabiting the same country. For the most part it is political unity which is meant, though this has been attended by an increasing emphasis upon unity of Indian language, customs, and manners. It must be acknowledged that there is a bond of unity in the historic traditions of the centuries of culture and in the religious myths which are immortalized in the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, but this is hardly sufficient.

A History Of New Mexico Election Laws, William E. Harper

Political Science ETDs

The state of New Mexico has not been overlooked as a possible exploitation ground for "capital" and political bosses. Many election laws have been passed to out-wit the crocked politicians. Whether the laws are good and adequate, the author of this paper will not say, but a short history of the election laws will show progress along these lines and will serve as a beginning for a critical estimation of such laws.

The Prophetic Office In Israel, Alfred Ottomar Fuerbringer

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

My purpose is altogether different, namely, to go through the entire history of God’s chosen people of the Old Covenant as far as it is recorded in the Biblical books, to find out what is told us about the office of a prophet in Israel, and to describe the essence of the office, the man who filled it, and the manner in which he carried out the duties imposed upon him.

The Postexilic History Of The Jews From 538-432 B.C., Herman Julius Meyer

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The purpose of this thesis is thus to give a short, chronological account of' the history of' the Jews from 538 B.C. to 432 B.C., based not upon any of the preconceived notions of the "Higher Critics" but upon the Bible, the only infallible account that can give us a true picture of events of this period of the Jews.

Michalangelo And Luther - A Parallel, Oliver Rupprecht

Bachelor of Divinity

In the case of Michelangelo and Luther, whose labors extend largely into the same period of time, the parallel becomes doubly attractive. For a comparison of this nature is not dependent on a similarity or an identity of occupation of the persons concerned, unless, of course, the purpose be that of setting forth the success in a single field of human activity and learning. It may aim solely at a delineation of personal characteristics and an evaluation of historical importance, together with a summary description of the man's chief works, without resorting to a detailed presentation of his achievements which, …

The Day Of Atonement, Philip Albrecht

Bachelor of Divinity

There was, however, one festival, which clearly and definitely symbolized the Messiah and his work. This was the Day of Atonement. It fore-shadowed the Messiah in many ways, but especially in his office as high-priest, his mediation and atonement by sacrifice. For this reason the Day of Atonement has a greater significance for us than the other festivals of the Old Testament. It has direct prophecies of the Christ who atoned for us.

Die Schiloweissagung Gen. 49 ,8-12, Alfred Ottomar Fuerbringer

Bachelor of Divinity

The Shiloh prophecy is a much controversial Pericope. We have been finding different ones for a long time Versions of the same, and in the story the exegesis has no explanation and after all others displaced, but it came to the old ones who still found representatives still adding new ones, so nowadays it's almost half a hundred different explanations, interpretations, Derivatives, and conjectures there. The old, direct-personal interpretation is used by most modern commentators (from those of the twentieth Century almost unanimously). The principles according to the history of religion is rolled it was such a prophecy in the …

The Doctrinal Content Of Isaiah's Prophesy, Fred Kramer

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this thesis is to show how much doctrine the Prophesy of Isaiah contains. The result of my studies shows that, with the exception of the doctrine of Baptism, and the Lord's Supper, every important doctrine of the Bible is found more or less complete in this wonderful book. Proof of this statement may be had in the thesis itself.

Criticism Of The Theories Regarding The Epistle To The Ephesians, Herbert Hellbusch

Bachelor of Divinity

In reading the Epistle to the Ephesians one is impressed by its peculiar loftiness and its grandeur in style. Scholars quite generally have accepted it as one of the sublimest and most profound of all the New Testament writings. Dr Salmond says: "In the judgment of many who are well entitled to deliver an opinion, it is the grandest of all the Pauline letters" (l). And Hayes remarks: "This epistle is a work of art. Its sublimity of thought is matched by its beauty of expression" (2). Strong calls this Epistle "the greatest production of inspiration" and adds, "the apostle …

The Reformed Arguments Against The Real Presence Of The Body And Blood Of Christ In The Lord's Supper Examined In The Light Of The Main Modern Philosophical System Since Locke, Walter C. Daib

Bachelor of Divinity

It the same line of reasoning were followed out to its bitter consequence, it would leave us without any supernatural facts in religion. But it is by a “happy” inconsistency that the Reformed theologians, at least those of the conservative school, have restricted reason as a norm of doctrine to the narrow sphere or Christology and the Sacraments. It is chiefly here that they have made use of the arguments from possibility and reasonability. It is these arguments from reason that we wish to examine.

A Critique Of Goodspeed's Translation Of The Gospels, Arthur F. Fergin

Bachelor of Divinity

In the execution of this treatise the translation of Goodspeed will be studied on the basis of the original Greek text. The critique will thus seek to establish whether the translation is true to the original. Since no other translation has till now successfully supplanted the Authorized Version, the later will be used in establishing the conclusions reached in this thesis. It is necessary to state at the outset, however, that such a procedure will not in all cases be fair to the translation of Goodspeed. Goodspeed has a better equipment in the way of an authoritative text and grammatical …
