The Psychology Of Advertising, Clarence Sievert

Bachelors’ Theses

Psychology of advertising. Just what does this term mean to the average mind and what is its significance?

We speak of the psychology of advertising, politics, history, color, the mob, the crowd, imitation and many other things. The term psychology is applied in much the same way as when we speak of the 'art' of this and that thing. The art of anything concerns the way it is done and the psychology of it would refer to the affects it has on the mind of those concerned.

Opportunities In Country Journalism, Edward A. Harrigan

Bachelors’ Theses

Opportunities in the field of rural journalism are fre­quently overlooked. Schools and colleges of journalism are turning out annually, thousands of young men and women, who have been fitted for reporting and editing as well as other forms of writing. Many of these obviously do not intend to be merely reporters all of their lives. Again, there are scores in the ranks of city newspaper work, who are tired of the grind, and nerve wracking rush.

The Doctrine Of The Sacraments In The Apostolic Fathers, Louis Breitenbuecher, Louis F. Brighton

Bachelor of Divinity

What is the teaching of the Apostolic Fathers concerning the sacraments? What do they teach of Baptism and of the Lord’s Supper? Is the number of sacraments restricted to two or is there reason to believe that the Romish Church finds in these writings ground for its teaching of seven sacraments? In treating first on Baptism and then on the Lord’s Supper these questions will be taken care of.

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The Doctrinal Contents Of Acts, Walter G. Dippold

Bachelor of Divinity

Our aim in this work shall be, to present Luke's stand on the main heads of christian doctrine and at the same time, to show that his teaching is wholly in harmony with the other New Testament writers. As was stated in the opening words of our thesis, the source on which we shall base our discussion is solely and specifically, the book of Acts. It is therefore selfevident, that when limited to one specific book of the Bible, not every detail in the field of christian doctrine can be treated. In accordance with the limitation of our theme, we …

Christian Doctrine According To The Book Of Acts, Arthur William Klinck

Bachelor of Divinity

The first point which strikes the reader of this book is that it purports to have been written by the author of a "former treatise” (Acts 1:1) addressed to the same person, Theophilus; a treatise which gave an account of all the Acts and words of the Lord from the beginning to the conclusion of His earthly ministry, terminated by His ascension. There is only one Gospel which this description will fit, the Gospel of Luke, which is dedicated to the same man, Theophilus. The progress of thought from Luke to Acts is quite logical. Luke ends with the ascension …

Characters In Ink, Max Resnick

Bachelors’ Theses

This thesis has been written from the Creative Student's point of view; the student who not alone has a liking for the world of letters but at the same time is guided by the age-old wanting to express himself in that medium which is to him the Alpha and the Omega of all human expression. The serious student sees not alone the completed work but between the lines he can read the character of the author, determine the life he lead, tell of the things he dreamt and longed for, feel the people with whom the author cam in contact …

The Family. The Evolution Of The Family As Illustrated And Explained By Herbert Spencer Is False, Desmond T. Mccarthy

Bachelors’ Theses

The family is the foundation of society and the state. As such it possesses a prominent position in our sphere of things. The family in a philosophical discussion may be observed from many points of view; ethical, sociological, biological, religious and economical. Each of these views may be equally interesting. They are all important and excellent papers could easily be written on any one of them. By research and investigation into these various topics personal information and interest are increased. In what ever view is taken, it is sometimes difficult to remain in one's own field without transgressing to another …

Brook Farm And Margaret Fuller, Genevieve Teske

Bachelors’ Theses

Communism as an ideal for human society is a dream that many a philosopher has cherished and striven for. Some there were who theorized upon it, who sought to circumvent and direct the passions and activities of human nature by artificial barriers towards what was better and truer, though themselves holding aloof and leaving it to others to conduct the experiment; and some there were, who boldly led the way in person, setting an example to the followers they had gained; some again there were, who held the neutral role of spectators at a drama, observing the experiments made, observing …

Catholic Church Versus Socialism, Ethel M. Theisen

Bachelors’ Theses

On account of the great diversity of socialistic doctrines, it is very difficult to give an exact and all embracing definition of socialism. The word socialism has been used to convey a variety of meanings, and is only gradually assuming a definite significance. An earlier term by which socialism was known is communism. Efforts to distinguish communism from socialism cannot be said to have been successful. Sometimes communism is used to refer to the voluntary organization of small bodies of men who have common property and who carry on production in common. They share among themselves the fruit of their …

The Permanency Of Journalism Or Some Newspapers Have A Historical Value, Raymond H. Pfau

Bachelors’ Theses

The one big criticism of the use of newspapers in the writing of historical happenings is that the newspapers are unreliable. I grant that there are errors in the newspapers, but in my thesis, I say that some newspapers are of a historical value. In the first place I shall show that newspapers, as chronicle of facts, are valuable to historians and again the general makeup and the entire contents of newspapers are reflections of the physical, mental and moral conditions of the times. This matter I shall treat first. After showing the newspapers in this light, I shall try …

The Limitations Of Impressionism In Literature, Thomas J. Campbell

Bachelors’ Theses

The farmer on plowing a field for the first time, almost invariably, marks out the course of the first furrow with stakes. That is, he must plant at least three stakes by which he may strike out straightly the first furrow upon which the condition of all the following furrows depend. Now we are not going to plow a new tract of land, because literary criticism has been hashed over again and again, but we do need a little of the farmer's prevision and precaution in entering such a large and diverse field as literary criticism embraces. We too, must …

Origin And Development Of The Jesuit School, Mary Booz

Bachelors’ Theses

The Council of Trent 1545-1563 and ecumenical or general council restored the ancient discipline for the training of clergy.

Extreme Evolution Is Absurd And Moderate Evolution Is Not Yet Established, Marie Georgiana Blommer

Bachelors’ Theses

In the world of literature and science many records containing startling theories are to be found. Among these is the doctrine of Evolution. Many assure us that Science compels us to believe in Evolution. An explanation of the terms must be clearly understood to avoid a fallacious use of terms. Professor Huxley, who follows Hume, declares that Science is "nothing but trained and organized commonsense." The term is applied to physical science or "that whose province is the observation of phenomena and inferences directly deducible from them." The term "Evolution" is often differently understood. In its literal sense it is …

The Existence Of The Natural Law Among Primitive People, Ernest Frederick Kremer

Bachelors’ Theses

As men we are concerned with everything that concerns man. Having to some degree satisfied our instincts on that score we commence to wonder how long it has concerned man. With this thought in mind we wonder if Primitive man was bound by any law. We say that there existed among primitive people a natural law. In the following pages we will attempt to prove that statement.

Psychology As Used In Advertising, Martin Lang

Bachelors’ Theses

Advertisers many years ago made little use of psychology in their campaigns — at least they claimed the same. But when their advertisements are alalyzed and the motives found to which they appealed in their copy, it is seen that they acted according to the everyday tendencies if mankind and truthfully employed psychology.

Life Of John Warwick Daniel, Ruth Lazenby

Honors Theses

John Warwick Daniel was born on the 5th of September, 1824, in Lynchburg, and died on the 29th of June, 1910. Only sixty-eight years of life, a short period when one measures the span of a lifetime and yet he crowded into these years so much that he has rightly come to be called soldier and orator, jurist and lawgiver, statesman and senator. As a soldier he was brave, loyal and devoted to duty, winning many honors for courage and gallantry. As an orator he was noted for his eloquence, charm and unsurpassed beauty of language, and it was perhaps …

Virginia's Attitude Toward The Compromise Of 1850, Anne T. Gordon

Honors Theses

As with an individual, a great conflict develops character and causes expression of ideals, so in the life of a nation conflicts develop the people, and give us a knowledge of their ideals and principles. It is mainly with the latter aspect of one great conflict - the struggle over the Compromise of 1850 - that this paper will deal. In this short article an effort will be made to show the attitude of Virginia - one section, small in territorial expanse when compared with the whole, but large in influence, as she faced this problem on the solution of …

Critique Of Influence Of Mineral Manures Upon The Mineral And Nitrogen Composition Of Plants, Dan Nelson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Variation in quality of plants of the same species has been known to exist for a long time. The influences bringing about such variation have been studied only comparatively recently. Quantity production has been given the greatest amount of attention as a rule, the beneficial results from the use of manures being judged by the quantity of produce. Some plants, however, varied so widely in composition, and the variations were of such paramount importance, that the influences affecting quality began to receive some attention. Of this type of plants may be mentioned sugar-beets and tobacco. There was also the hope …

Pauline Eschatology, Luther A. Schuessler

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The purpose of this inquiry is to present a brief resume of Pauline Eschatology in the narrow sense as it is represented in the thirteen Epistles of Paul and in the discourses attributed to him in the Book of the Acts. Since these Epistles and discourses comprehend the cardinal truths of eschatology, the value of this inquiry is obvious.

Cupola Practice In Modern Gray Iron Foundry, George E. Mellow

Professional Degree Theses

"Cupola practice, as described in this paper, will include only the practical operation of a cupola and the details of the work necessary in daily routine, and very little of the theory of combustion, or history of cupola development, is presented. A brief description of the cupola will give an idea of its construction, and the names of the parts may be found on the sketch herewith"--page 1.
