Indiana Treason Trials, Dorothy Lambert

Graduate Thesis Collection

The noble purposes, lofty ideals, and chivalric deeds of the knights of the days of Arthur are in striking contrast to the base principles, evil designs, and traitorous actions of that secret body of knights which flourished many centuries later in our own State of Indiana.  The very spirit of these later knights was antagonistic to the constitution and government of their country.

John Milton's Conception Of Music, Lotys Benning

Graduate Thesis Collection

The nature of music has been defined as the uttering and arousing of emotions by successions and combinations of regulated sound, that of poetry as the representation or arousing of emotions by means of verbal signs arranged with musical regularity.  Thus it will be seen that the two arts, having the same purpose, are closely allied, and may be considered interdependent.

Changing Tendencies In The Teaching Of Formal Grammar, Helen Tichenor

Graduate Thesis Collection

The question as to whether any appreciable improvement in the speech and writing of children is realized by means of a knowledge of formal grammar is debatable.  The belief is more or less common among educators that formal grammar does not function to a degree which justifies the time spent upon it.

American History Information In Relation To Character And Conduct, Floyd A. Hines

Graduate Thesis Collection

The whole history is in man and may be explained from individual experience as a stately forest may be explained from one acorn of the weed patch from one seed.  In history the collective experiences of man are united in a written record.  These experiences are usually of a material nature but are influenced greatly by the unseen emotions which cannot so definitely be written, yet may be felt by the student of history.

The Madison And Indianapolis Railroad, Freda L. Bridenstine

Graduate Thesis Collection

Accustomed as we are today to paved highways, motor cars, steam railways, and airplanes it is difficult for us to picture the conditions of travel and transportation prevailing in Indiana in the early years of the last century. There were no canals, railroads, or pikes. All the streams except the Ohio were seriously obstructed by fallen trees, debris, snags, and sand bars. What wagon roads existed were frequently impassable and practically always bad.

The Mexican Colony In South Lorain, Ohio: An Exploratory Study, Robert W. O'Brien

Honors Papers

The object of this thesis is to show the process of adjustment which the Mexican faces when he leaves his less competitive physical and social environment in Mexico and lives in a typical steel city of the Northern section of the United States. This study is sociological, rather than economic in its approach. It is an attempt to get at the way in which these people live, and the attitudes which they have toward themselves and other groups.

The Geography Of Marlboro Town, Vermont, Ethel A. Frank

Honors Papers

Green, forest-covered mountains and hills, winding valleys with farmhouses surrounded by boulder strewn hayfields, cattle scattered upon the rocky slopes and in woodland pastures, boulder laden streams- this is the picture which Marlboro Town, in Windham County, Vermont conveys to one who surveys its landscape from any hilltop site.

Geology And Acid Intrusions Of Marlboro Township, Vermont, Stanley Gordon Elder

Honors Papers

It is the aim of this paper to examine the mineralization resulting from the intrusion of acid dikes and veins into the schists of Marlboro township, Vermont, and to give a brief account of the geology of the area.

The problem of mineralization in southern Vermont is one which has been treated very slightly and is one which is deserving of more study than it has received. This problem results from the presence of numerous acid igneous masses in all the formation of the region. Petrographic research in the igneous intrusions was done partially with the hope that the study …

Some Significant Phases Of Justin Martyr In The Development Of Early Christianity, Elmer G. Homrighausen

Graduate Thesis Collection

The original inspiration to undertake this study issues from composite sources.  Undoubtedly, in the last analysis, it was implanted by the personalities of great teachers, whose contagious enthusiasm for Christian history I contracted early in my theological and later graduate study.  Great teachers, who are intimately acquainted with the ongoing currents of Christian life through the centuries, who have developed a love for the Christian movement, whose mature scholarship gives them the power to discern the real essence of the Christian religion in its historic expressions, these are still the keys to the real understanding of Church history, these are …

The Missionary Activities Of R. H. Graves, 1853-1912, Jack Powers

Honors Theses

In the year 1853, Rosewell Hobart Graves was a Baptist minister in the city of Baltimore. However, he was unhappy there because he realised that in American almost everyone might her of the gospel while in other lands mens were perishing without ever having heard the name of Jesus.
