Training Valuable To Class Sponsors, Flo E. Holman

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

This study was made to determine the "Training Valuable to Class Sponsors." It is based upon the results of question­naires sent to one hundred eighty-eight high schools of sec­ond and their class cities of Kansas. The questionnaires were returned from ninety- seven schools; however, a few of them were incomplete or inaccurate and could not be used.

Five questionnaires were sent to the principal of each high school, one to be filled out by the principal himself, and one by …

The Christology Of St. Paul's Captivity Letters, Luther V. Stephan

The Imagist Movement In America: History And Development, Helen Christie Malcolm

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

The commercial age in America, coupled with the World war, has had no less influence in the field of poetic values than in the field of business. In the following pages I have attempted to show that the outlook of modern poetry is both natural and purposeful as a result of its environment and background; that, though unstable and variable at the present, it is gradually attaining through various short-lived movements, a degree of finish and crystallization; and that the entire outlook is a presagement, a finger pointing in the direction of a fuller, richer cultural life that shall come …

Aspects Of Pre-Civil War Historical Drama, Elizabeth Ernestine Coles

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

This thesis is an attempt to present in a general way some aspects of the pre-Civil War historical drama. The plays chosen cover the years from 1766-1830 inclusive. Arthur Hobson Quinn and Montrose J. Moses, writers on early American drama, have endeavored to treat the entire field in its social, political, historical, and economical aspects. I have limited my attempt to the historical phase in which there are at least five distinct groups. The following topical analysis of the plays I have used will present these more clearly.

A Study Of The Striated Spark By The Method Of Instantaneous Photography, Laurence L. Cruise

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

In 1867 Toepler found the existence of a pulse spreading from the region around the spark immediately after it had passed. Since the density of the air in the pulse differs from that of the surrounding gas, the pulse is optically different from the rest of the field and so can be made visible by the “Shadowgraph Method.” Topeler’s work was the first of its kind where an instantaneous view, say of the order of several millionths of a second, of the electric spark was obtained. IN 1926 Dr. Zinszer, while studying the life history of the electric spark by …

The Doctrine Of The Resurrection According To The New Testament, Gustav Gehlhar

Bachelor of Divinity

The doctrine of the resurrection of the body is a teaching peculiar to the Christian religion. We need only to investigate the world's religious history in order to be convinced that all other religions know nothing about such a resurrection.

Der Biblische Begriff Gottesfurcht, Martin T. Steege

Bachelor of Divinity

The biblical concept of the fear of God is impossible to describe in this treatise. Because there are about two hundred places where the Scriptures speak of the fear of God. We must focus on some of the most important passages. Our task is to interpret important proverbs in order to derive the basic idea of the fear of God. First of all, therefore, it must be determined what this term means and contains and then, as it is in the Christian Ethics comes to the fore. The first part is dogmatic, the second ethical. Therefore, our disposition also breaks …

Origin Of Equity Jurisdiction And Jurisprudence, Edward Murphy

Student Theses

Introductory Statement

It is not our purpose in this thesis to attempt a complete and detailed history of equity as it exists in England and in the United states. To do this would involve little more than a compilation of what has already been quite elaborately treated by some of the great legal minds of England and America.

We propose to treat rather of the nature of Equity as it existed in the Roman Law,its influence in the English law, the primitive condition of the law at the time of the origin of Equity, and of the causes which made …

Laboratory Applications Of Present Day Knowledge Of The Hormone Of The Anterior Lobe Of The Pituitary Gland, Herman F. Geske

Bachelors’ Theses

The history of a pregnancy diagnosis is an old one. In the report of Dr. S. Ashheim is a note which bears this out. The women of ancient Egypt used a rather crude method. Whether it was an efficient test the records do not state. Considering the fact that pregnancy and germination and growth are correlative, these women of the Nile probably were not so far wrong theoretically, whatever the practical results may have been. Their method was to put barley and wheat grains in a pot. These grains were wettened with urine from a woman who thought herself pregnant.

The Old Religion In England During The Early Years Of The Reign Of Queen Elizabeth, Carl S. Meyer

Bachelor of Divinity

To comprehend the topic we must, first of all, understand the scope of the term "Old Religion." Nothing else can be meant by that designation than that system of religion which had pervaded the countries of Europe and had been the marrow of its religious life ~ during the period preceeding the memorial sixteenth century. Under this term we would include both its national and its international aspects. We will investigate this ecclesiastical system in England during the process of its overthrow -- after it had temporarily regained what was thought to be its dominant position. This overthrow we would …

Christian Missions Among The Kansas Indians, Bertha Ellen Milstead

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

The establishment of Missions among the Indians who were settled in the Kansas region is apart of the story of the “Winning of the West.” The fate of the Indian was certain from the very beginning and those forces which fitted him in the end to take his place in the national life as a responsible individual were real factors in progress. The reservation system was but one stage in the gradual crowding of the Indian from his free hunting life and served only as a training school for the next stage of individual responsibility. One of the agencies which …

The New England Theology, Theodore Wuggazer Jr

Bachelor of Divinity

In order to discuss intelligently the peculiar form which the Calvinistic Theology assumed in America, and to which it later developed, it obviously becomes necessary to set up a standard by which the American form of Calvinism is to be judged. It is the object of this paper to show, after a fashion, to what extent the theologians of New England of the 17th and 18th centuries deviated from Old Calvinism. For this purpose we must dwell briefly on the work of the Reformer, John Calvin, and on the chief tenets of the Calvinistic or Reformed Theology. In respect to …

Parasites Of The Beet Leafhopper Eutettix Tenellus (Baker) In Northern Utah, Myles F. Bowen

Biology

The beet leafhopper, Eutettix tenellus (Baker), is undoubtedly the most destructive insect pest of the sugar-beet in the west. It was first noted as a pest of sugar-beets and observed as a vector of curly top disease of the sugar-beet by Ball in 1906. Since then various methods of bringing it under control have been tried but as yet no practical method has been discovered.

Points Of Technique In Certain Contemporary English Novelists, Aurelia Gertrude Valley

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this essay is to show that the English novel has taken a step away from the traditional type of treatment and under a group of younger novelists is assuming a new form distinguished by its technique and novel ideas of character, plot and viewpoint.

I have quoted freely from the leading exponents of the new form believing that the technique is best illustrated in terms of itself.

At this point I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to Chevalley "The Modern English Novel”, E.M. Forster ’’Aspects of the Novel”, Lubbock ’’The Graft of Fiction", Grabo "The Technique of …

Effects Of Thermal Influences Upon The Pons And Medulla And Upon The Mid Brain And Diencephalon After Ligation Of The Basilar Artery., Franklin Jelsma

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

During the past two decades, substantial advances have been made toward the understanding of various phases of heat regulation. Many threads leading to the explanation of the complete mechanism of heat regulation of the body have been unraveled. Altho the exact anatomical location, extent and relations have not yet been determined, it has become evident that the chief control of body temperature is thru the central nervous system. Especially important regions are the basal nuclei and the brain stem. Barbour has produced evidence, confirmed by Hashimoto, Prince and Hahn, Rogers, Bazett and Penfield, that temperature control occurs by means of …

The Christian Pastor And His Problems- A Pastoral Study Of The Epistles Of Paul To The Corinthians, Mark J. Steege

Bachelor of Divinity

Paul’s life and teachings form also the subject of this essay, insofar as they apply to the office and work of the pastor. Since his letters to the Corinthians are the most valuable in giving us information on just this phase, the essay will be limited to passages taken from these two books or the Bible. The essay is divided into two parts: I. The Pastor; and II. The Pastor's Problems.

The Weakness Of The Modern Pulpit, A Brief Examination Of The Trend And Principles Followed In The Preaching Of To-Day, B P. Hahn

Bachelor of Divinity

In other words, then, it is in the pulpit of today, occupied by the preachers whose office corresponds very closely to that of the prophets and priests in the Old Testament, where we shall find the chief reason why the church is apparently failing in its world mission to-day. Viewing the pulpit in this light men have produced much literature in the attempt to better and advance the pulpit; ma~ and varied are the weaknesses that have been pointed out by them.

The Christology Of Present-Day Moderniem, Herbert F. Glock

Bachelor of Divinity

It is only because modernistic Christology has become stabilized that it can now be summarily treated. Our purpose, then, is to present those christological views which form the self-evident background of present-day Modernism. However, since the views of Modernism are established only by the consensus of opinion, and not by official pronouncement, a study of its Christology requires a review of the present-day modernistic works. We purpose to summarize, then, these views on the various phases of Christ's life, according to His Person, and His Work and Teachings. The sources for present-day Modernism are limited practically to the past twenty …
