Auintus Horatius Flaccus, Epicurean Stoic, Anthony B. Caffrey

Bachelors’ Theses

To fully appreciate the character and work of a great man, we must first visualize his life environ­ment and contemporary history. Such details may seem tiresome, as indeed they are, but that does not pre­vent them from having a tremendous influence upon such a character and such work. To the reader, dates and facts of history become very boring, so we will endeavor to eliminate them from our study, as much as possible.

In Venusia, a small town of southern Italy, on December 8, 65 B.C. Quintus Horatius Flaccus was born. His parents, like all parents, must have entertained great …

The South American Problem, Willard J. Iselin

Bachelors’ Theses

In the extreme western part of South America, half way between the Gulf of Panama and Cape Horn, is a strip of land comprising an area of approximately 9,000 square miles. The Sama river, which rises in the Andes mountains and flows into the Pacific ocean, forms the northern boundary; the Camarones river, whose mouth is at south latitude 19° 11', furnishes the southern; a line drawn thru the Andes cordillera, separating the territory from Bolivia, the eastern; and the Pacific ocean the western. This small, but as will be shown significant, portion of land, is known as Tacna-Arica. It …

The Rise And Development Of The Papacy, Kenneth E. Thorne

Graduate Thesis Collection

"And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee but my Father which is in heaven. And I say unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven: and whatsoever …

A Study In The Literature Of The Disciples Of Christ, Alfred T. Degroot

Graduate Thesis Collection

The investigations which follow were undertaken out of a desire to make a definite and practical contribution to the study of the literature of the Disciples of Christ. Especially have we wanted to devise some means of putting the informaiton concerning this distinctive literature into such a form as to make it useable and helpful to the ministers and laymen in the movement in question. This we believe has been accomplished in Part II of the present volume.

Distributional List Of The Birds In Utah, Clarence Cottam

Theses and Dissertations

Systematic ornithology has been woefully neglected in Utah. While this state has a number of men who know her birds and who have aroused interest in them, they have produced no published record of what we have. So far as the writer knows there is no adequate, representative, or systematic collection of Utah species within the state. Utah has, however, been fortunate in having a nuraber of expert ornithologists collect and study the bird life of different sections of bar territory.

The Need Of Public Junior Colleges In Utah, Evan B. Murray

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

“The need for junior colleges becomes more urgent from year to year. I would recommend that the legislature make provision for the establishment and maintenance of state junior colleges at such centers as it may deem advisable.” This is a quotation from state Superintendent C. N. Jensen.

The following study is intended to answer, to a degree at least, the two questions inherent in this statement: namely, Is there a need for state junior colleges in Utah? If there is a need, where should they be established?

A Study Of The Seasonal History Of Alfalfa Flowers As Related To Seed Production, John W. Carlson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

A few researches have been concerned with the structure and pollination of alfalfa flowers. Others have considered the biological problems concerned in the pollination and fecundation of the flowers. In none of these studies, however, has an attempt been made to follow carefully the alfalfa flowers through various stages of development. Nor has any effort been made to determine what effect the condition and duration of these stages may have upon the resulting seed crop.

The work that follows is a study of the changes through which the alfalfa flowers pass during the season while functioning as organs of seed …

Ecclesiastical Union Verses Christian Unity, Eric C. Malte

Bachelor of Divinity

Is it true that the union which is advocated by this coming conference is based on God's ideal? Placing the basis of the proposed union along side of the basis laid down in the Bible, we find that the former is based on man's conception and is in direct conflict with many clear passages of Scripture. Nothing is more emphatically taught and stressed in the Bible then that church-fellowship must always, and in all places, be preceded by unity in the spirit, unity in doctrine. We learn this from such passages as Rom.16,17; Eph. 4,3-6 , 13, and many similar …

A Presentation And Critique Of The Roman, Reformed, And Lutheran Doctrine If The Lord's Supper-, Clarence Peters

Bachelor of Divinity

In his first epistle to Timothy Paul writes: “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy." The Holy Spirit who transmits the divine revelation, was especially active in the early days of the Christian Church. In this case the Spirit had expressly declared that there would be a falling away from the truth in times to come. Men would actually apostatize from the faith, would teach and preach in direct opposition to the sound doctrine of the Gospel. How …

Conscience Its Nature And Function, Richard R. Caemmerer

Bachelor of Divinity

The subject as stated in itself excludes the problem of the origin of conscience, a large field especially in phylogenetic theories (theories of remorse, origin of duty, origin of the good); it excludes the practical aspects and applications of the doctrines of conscience (systems of casuistry; social sphere of conscience; freedom of conscience). The subject has been-further limited, a procedure demanded by considerations of time and space, by a particular viewpoint applied to this discussion. The viewpoint permits formulation in the shape of a statement of the problem, namely: To determine the validity of the term "conscience" as an ethical …

Ecclesiastical Union Verses Christian Unity, Theodore Moeller

Bachelor of Divinity

The tendency of Protestantism to split up into various sects has not infrequently been noted and variously explained. Roman Catholics, especially, make the most of this situation and point with pride to the unity of their church. “If once you permit individual judgment to be pitted against authority all the followers of the revolter will, in turn, claim the same privilege against him. The result is obvious. Even before the revolting church had made its position secure against the church of Rome disunion and separatism had come into its ranks. "This condition has often been deplored and the cry of …

The Jewish Festivals Mentioned In The New Testament, Walter W. Koenig

Bachelor of Divinity

As far as the life of the New Testament believer is concerned, the ancient festivals of the Jews are null and void. All Old Testament rites and ceremonies, which were only "a shadow of things to come” (Col. 2,16), have been abrogated by the coming of God's Son into the flesh. But even though the Jewish festivals are no longer to be observed by us, we cannot afford to forget all about them. Leaving the Old Testament out of the question altogether, the proper understanding of the New Testament alone demands a thorough investigation of all that is connected with …

An Investigation Of The Economic Relationships Of Tree-Hoppers In Utah Orchards, Charles J. Sorenson

Biology

An investigation of the economic relationships of treehoppers in Utah orchards, as reported in this paper, began in the summer of 1923 and has continued, from time to time, to the present. During the years 1922 to 1925, inclusive,* tree-hopper damage in the orchards of Utah County came to the attention of the writer so frequently and in such a manner that it appeared to be a problem of considerable economic importance. Because of this latter consideration, a study of the situation in Utah was begun. This investigation has included a study of: (1) the occurrence of damage; (2) degree …

Modern Protestant Missions Before Carey, Lorenz C. Wunderlich

Bachelor of Divinity

The church of Jesus Christ is essentially a missionary organization. She is the product of missionary effort, her progress depends on evangelising endeavors. The very existence of the Church calls for mission, her self-preservation demands it. Missionary enterprise, however, is not the device of man, it is God's thought, plan, and work; it is as old as the eternal counsels of God regarding the salvation of mankind.

Oral And Written Composition In The Upper Grades: A Thesis, Anna R. Sullivan

Bachelors’ Theses

There are several reasons why our pupils have not learned 1 to talk well: 1. There has not been enough of oral language work, as a separate and distinct training, in the elementary school. 2. Oral work has not been utilized as much as it ought to be as an aid, and a preparation for, written work. A child who is to be taught to write well, must first be taught to talk well. 3. The other school subjects have not been utilized as effectively as they might be to develop power in oral composition. 4. The school has constantly …

Non-Importation Agreements In Virginia, Evelyn Bristow

Honors Theses

The non-importation agreement of 1769 and that of 1774 were protests for the preservation of British rights for Great Britain's subjects in America. The colonies were growing. They were beginning to feel their strength. The high spirit in the Virginia Assembly was due to the colony's rapid growth in wealth, population, and culture. England could put off the time when American would establish her independence, which she was almost capable of doing, by governing to the colonies' satisfaction. This strength was bound up in the young radical leaders.

The Gift Of Tongues According To The Bible. An Investigation., Frederick F. Breuer

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The purpose of this paper is to prove, by basing all exposition and proof upon pertinent Scriptural references, that the gift of tongues, spoken of in the Bible, is, in every case, the gift of foreign languages.

The Causes Of The Persecution Of The Early Christians, Karl H. Maier

Bachelor of Divinity

The popular and traditional view of the persecutions of the Christiane considers them to be ten in number lasting from 64 to 311 A.D. The persecutions are looked upon as fiendish and arbitrary attacks of various emperors against Christianity out of hatred, and periods of comparative quiet appear to be indication that some emperors favored or recognized Christianity. The consideration of the persecutions in this light leads to the opinion that they were all of the same nature, and gives no indication of the real depth of the conflict and the issues involved.

Criteria For Cirriculum Making In The Elementary School, Mary R. Molloy

Bachelors’ Theses

The curriculum of the elementary school has not caught up with the content of American life. It has lagged behind the current civilization.

Spelling In The Modern Curriculum, Margaret Hughes

Bachelors’ Theses

The aim in the teaching of spelling is to give the child ability to arrange the letters in such formation as to correspond to the idea which exists in the mind. The word is an expressed symbol of an idea. Thia expression is to be read as well as written. Our knowledge of word forms comes through the sense of sight and hearing and they are acted upon by the judgment which affirms or denies the identity of ideas and gives the material in this juclgnent for a new judgment, this process being reasoning.

Bileam Und Seine Weissagungen, Herman J. Meyer

Bachelor of Divinity

Balaam and His Prophecies

The Festivals Of The Jews With Special Reference To Their Significance In The New Testament, Alfred H. Faulstick

Bachelor of Divinity

The need of a careful study of the matter at hand at once becomes patent in consideration of the numerous references in Scripture to these feasts which when not fully understood, often obscure the meaning and rob the full significance of the passages in which they occur.

The scope of the thesis is to present the feasts as observed in the Old Testament, to explain the references to them in the New, and briefly to set forth the spiritual bearing they have on the Christian Church.

The Manufacture Of Liquid Oxygen And Its Use As An Explosive, Francis Kinlock Middleton Hunter

Professional Degree Theses

"Oxygen was first liquefied in 1877, but the first record of its use commercially as an explosive was in 1899 when part of the famous Simplon tunnel between Italy and Switzerland was driven with this explosive. Owing to the difficulties of storing and using this liquid, little more progress was made until the Great War, when Germany, forced to experiment with any promising explosive because of her rapidly diminishing stocks of Chilean nitrates, made considerable headway in the technique of using liquid oxygen...Since the War liquid oxygen explosives have been used extensively in France and Germany and to a lesser …

On The Permanent Growth Of Grey Iron, Walter Edward Remmers

Professional Degree Theses

"After making a survey of the available information on the subject of permanent growth in grey iron castings, it was found that very little definite information is available and such as is available does not seem to satisfy all conditions. As is perhaps generally known, grey iron castings withstand a growth in volume upon repeated heating and cooling, which growth is a permanent deformation and is not a function of the temperature co-efficient"--Review of Published Work, page 3.

A Preliminary Report On The Possibilities Of The Correlation Of Geochemical Data Relative To Oil Well Waters. A Report On The Oil Well Waters Of Greenwood County, Kansas, David Anderson Bash

Professional Degree Theses

"It is a known condition and a proven fact that vast quantities of oil and gas have been lost by the infiltration and encroachment of water in producing sands. The encroachment of water in the pay horizons has not only trapped underground oil locally and caused a great loss of production, but unless the water problem was successfully combated the amount of water entering the pay may increase to the extent of flooding an entire field. Water in an oil well so increases the lifting cost that many wells are abondoned [sic] before the normal recovery is reached"--page 2.

Relationship Between Temperature And Vapor Pressure Of Light Oils, William Orval Keeling

Professional Degree Theses

"There are a few data scattered through the literature on the vapor pressures of pure hydrocarbons, but the author has never seen a systematic study of the relationship between temperature and vapor pressures of complicated mixtures such as the various light oils encountered in refinery practice. Such data would be useful in designing equipment for distillation, steam stilling, vacuum distillation and in calculating heat balance, etc. An attempt has been made to link the vapor pressure of a light oil, at various temperatures, to the average boiling point of the oil"--Introduction, page 1.

The Role Of Geology In Prospecting For Lead And Zinc In The Tri-State District, William Ferdinand Netzeband

Professional Degree Theses

"The present generation has seen many changes in all phases of human endeavor, and the changes which have been made in the extraction of metals from the earth are not the least or these. The application of science to our industries has revolutionized many of them. Today quantity production in our factories is an accepted thing, and in the mines, application of the same principles has made possible the working of the low-grade copper deposits of Utah, Arizona, Chile and Belgian Congo. The mining industry has made use of almost all of the sciences in one form or another to …

Concentration Of Oxidized Lead Ores, Stephen Michael Burke Jr.

Professional Degree Theses

"In the pages of this paper an attempt is made to describe present methods of concentration and flotation of the oxidized ores of lead. The method employed is the presentation of the actual o operation of several mills which have been treating such ores during 1926 and 1927.

The plants described are representative operations and form some criteria for the performance of such ores under different conditions. In addition to those concentrators which are described, there are perhaps several small installations which are recovering lead from old mine dumps and tailings piles. It is difficult and almost impossible to obtain …
