The Attitude Of The Metropolitan Daily Toward Neighborhood Advertising, John William Conroy

Bachelors’ Theses

The material for this thesis has been gathered from personal letters, accompanied by a questionnaire, which were sent to the advertising managers of thirty-five newspapers throughout the country and Canada.

After a thorough investigation it was found that there are no books that dwell directly on the subject and the questionnaire and letter that follow directly after the bibliography were sent to gain the information.

Many of the advertising managers went to a lengthy discussion on the subject but the majority of answers were returned, written on the back of the questionnaire. These were very meager in the information that …

American Women In The Field Of Journalism, Dorothy Duffy

Bachelors’ Theses

The status of women in the field of Journalism today would scarcely indicate the long struggle and many rebuffs the early women writers were forced to undergo before they were accepted in the high position which wom­en now occupy in the sphere of newspaper writing.

Epicureanism In The Georgics, Ruth Agnes Crawford

Bachelors’ Theses

Vergil, the Latin poet who has had more influence on literature throughout the ages than any other Latin writer, was born in 70 B.C . He lived during the reign of Augustus Caesar, which was a time of peace and great prosperity. Augustus, in furtherance of his country's prosperity, encouraged literature and raised it to a standard previously unknown in Roman history. Vergil, then, wrote under very favorable circumstances. This era which produced so much culture fostered three philosophies which naturally influenced all the writers of the time. It is only reasonable to suppose that Vergil was affected by one …

History Of Albuquerque, Gladys Neel

Political Science ETDs

In the heart of New Mexico lies Bernalillo County, the smallest of all counties of the state. Its eastern half is covered by the Sandia and Manzano Ranges while the west is a high table land. The Rio Grande's course cuts almost through it center and it is this fertile river valley that furnishes ample resources for the metropolis of the state, Albuquerque.

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

This thesis aims to picture the background of the age in which the Apostle was active, and to present his teaching of Christian purity both within and outside of the marriage relation.

The Synonymns Of Conversion, W H. Mclaughlin

Bachelor of Divinity

The over-systematization tendency in theology has had many sad consequences. Among these are not only the perverted harmonization efforts, which in the doctrine of election have led to the Calvinistic and the synergistic solutions of the “Cur alii prae aliis?" dilemma, and in the doctrine of justification have resulted in a lamentable confounding of Law and Gospel in quest of a "higher harmony”, but also certain subtly scholastic unscriptural distinctions which discriminate between the effect of the preached and of the written Word, endeavor to establish a different working for each of the sacraments, and have also borne fruit in …

The Devonian Of The Bear River Range, Utah, I. Lavell Cooley

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The geological column in northern Utah has had very little detailed study. Those who have made reports on this section have done so only in a very general way, making no detailed sections of any part of the column, excepting that of the Cambrian made by Walcott.¹ Other work has been done by Mansfield² in southeastern Idaho and a general section of the Devonian made in Green Canyon, Bear River Range, Utah by Kindle.³

Due to the lack of any detailed work of this nature being done in the Bear River Range, suggested the matter of making …

Irrigation Expansion On The Sevier River, Utah, With Special Reference To The Piute Project, O. W. Monson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

On January 16, 1908, the State Board of Land Commissioners, on behalf of the State of Utah, undertook to build a reclamation project in the Sevier River Valley, intended to reclaim between 25,000 to 35,000 acres of the virgin lands lying on the west side of Sevier River in Sevier and San Pete Counties. From January, 1908 to January, 1914, the State expended nearly $1,000,000 for the construction of the reservior dm and the canal leading from it. Since that time nearly $200,000 has been spent for supplementary construction. This money was supplied by the State Reservior Land Grant Fund, …

Cuprous Oxide Rectification, Philip G. Cobb

Theses

It has been shown that cuprous oxide, when formed from a copper surface by suitable heat treatment, has remarkable rectifying properties towards alternating voltages applied through the oxide and copper. The purpose of our work was to investigate, the effect fully from all angles possible, and especially from those considerations affecting the constancy and permanence in the electric circuit.

The work ranged from furnace operation to tests of completed units, and further to the development of a theory explaining as completely as possible this rectifying property.

It soon became apparent, that here was ideal thesis material, and so, with proper …

Roman Judicial Procedure With Reference To The Trial Of Jesus Christ, A C. Hahn

Bachelor of Divinity

A concession of the greatest importance was this, that the Sanhedrin was permitted to continue and exercise its power in the internal government of Jewish affairs. In the days of Jesus, the Sanhedrin had legislative, executive, and judicial powers. It commanded a body of police for the purpose of making arrests, (Mat 26,47; Mark 14,43). It had the power to prefer charges and try cases of a religious nature, in which the procurator would not meddle. From its decision there could be no appeal; it was the highest court. In connection with the Great Sanhderin, there was an organized system …

Imagination: A Study Of Types With Special Reference To The Imagery Of Francis Thompson And Edmund Spenser, Hugh John Deeny

Bachelors’ Theses

Curiosity is doubtless the most valuable asset of the mental make-up of man. In recent years the natural int­erest of human beings in "hoe it works" has turned within to the investigation of themselves, and how and why they behave like humans. "Psychology" has become a word to conjure with. Witness the space it and allied subjects occupy on Chautauqua programs, in newspapers, and in magazines. Books attempting to explain our everyday actions and our exceptional ones have become "best sellers" "Complexes," "inhibitions," "react­ions," "stimuli," and a host of other technical terms are familiarly heard in drawing-rooms and even on …

The Relation Of Journalism To Literature In America, Kenneth F. Crane

Bachelors’ Theses

Literature in America has led an eventful career for almost three hundred years . There were first, the almost barren years of the early settlers, when the task of sustaining life left little leisure time for either reading or writing, and the lack of printing facilities discouraged the rearing of a literature. Among the literary pioneers who surmounted these difficulties were the Pur­itan historians, sermonists and poets.

More fruitful years followed. The essayists, the New York school. the New England school, the poets and prose writers of the South, and finally the breezy Westerners all had their hand in producing …

The Anatomy Of The Timber Rattlesnake, Ruth H. Heinemann

Bachelors’ Theses

Snakes are the most highly specialized of all reptiles. The absence of limbs, in itself, is a great specialization. They possess a great modification of the jaws which enables them to engulf large prey entire. Probably the most out­ standing specialization is the remarkable modification of dentition in the venomous snakes. The so-called fangs are nothing more than teeth modified to a great degree.

The Distribution, Taxonomy And Ecology Of The Genus Salix Of Utah County, Utah, Kenneth Edward Weight

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose or this paper is to make the willows of Utah end especially Utah County familiar to persons of moderate taxonomic skill. The Willow Family has become somewhat neglected by classes in taxonomy and the botanist in general because of not having a key -- except in one or two cases, that takes into consideration characters other than the fruits or capsules. To identify a willow in late summer is almost impossible by the beginning botanist, because few, if any, flowers, fruits and capsules can be found. In this paper external cheracters will be considered in descriptions. It must …

The Negro In Literature, A. W. Arnaud

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis traces the development of the Negro in American literature from its origins in the spirituals through the flowering of the "New Negro" Renaissance of the early twentieth century. Arnaud opens by defining literature as the artistic record of a people's inner life and argues that Negro literary expression developed first through song, tracing the movement from oral spirituals through the early poetry of the enslaved and freed population toward increasingly sophisticated literary forms.

The thesis presents Paul Laurence Dunbar as the foremost early exponent of Negro poetry, examining his biography and his work in both classic English verse …

Should The Utah Law As It Applies To Inheritance Be Modified?, Lorenzo H. Hatch

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In the United States, until recently, the inheritance tax has been employed principally as a war measure. The first one imposed was the stamp act of July 6, 1797, which was repealed five years later. The war revenue act of July 1, 1862, was repealed July 14 1870. The revenue act of August 27, 1894 was declared unconstitutional because of its income tax feature. The war revenue act of June 13, 1989 was repealed April 13, 1902. The present federal estate tax was formed September 8, 1916. It was later amended March 3, 1917, and was altered appreciably in the …

A Study Of The Economic Relationship Of The International Smelter To Agriculture In Tooele Valley, Harvey A. Kirk

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Utah's position among the great commonwealths depends to some extent upon the degree of development of the agricultural industry of the State. But as a producer of wealth, the mining industry exceeds agriculture. The total annual value of Utah farm products is about $39,000,000 while the total output from the mines is valued at $82,663,000. The operation of the mines, reduction mills, and smelters necessitate the employment of a large number of people who swell the population of the State, and consume a large part of the agricultural products. Utah, which is an inland State, possessing, as yet, few large …

The Status Of Teacher Rating In Utah, Charles P. Mcgregor

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Any satisfactory amount of literature or information as to the condition of teacher rating in Utah is not available. The writer therefore has felt justified in making a search for such information.

Education is one of the biggest businesses of the state, a business with which nearly all are concerned. It is a business which calls for vast sums of money to finance its cause in buildings and equipment. A part of this equipment is the teacher, and a most vital part, for it rests largely upon the teacher to shape the livest of boys and girls into worthy citizens. …

Inheritance Of Awns In A Cross Between Hard Federation And Kota Wheats, B. Ira Judd

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

During the past few years there have been numerous studies made of various characters in wheat. Some characters which were thought at first to be simple in inheritance have since been found to be rather complex.

The data in the following pages are the results of an investigation made to study the inheritance of awns in a cross between Hard Federation and Kota varieties of wheat.

Correlated Inheritance In Wheat Iii Federation X Iii C 18 (Dicklow X Sevier Hybrid), D. E. Heywood

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Several wheat characters have been shown to exhibit rather complicated inheritance. Examples are such characters as culm length, spike density, and awn classes. This paper reports a study of the inheritance and of the correlated inheritance of these and some other plant characters in a cross between a hybrid of Dicklow X Sevier (III C 18) with Federation.

Lessons To Be Learnt From The History And Development Of The Halle-Leipzig Mission In India, H Earl Miller

Bachelor of Divinity

We may, without doing violence to truth, speak of the unbroken continuity of the Halle-Leipzig mission from the days of Ziegenbalg down to the present time, a period of 222 years. In more than one respect, this mission has been the outstanding force in the history of missionary endeavor in India, and we may well expect to profit from an examination of its history and development.

The Christ Of St. John's Gospel, Leonard W. Koehler

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose in writing this treatise on the Christ in St. John's Gospel is most ably expressed by the Beloved Disciple himself when he says in his gospel 20,31, "But these things are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.” Jesus did so many things outside of those recorded in the gospels that John says, "I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written", 21,25. Therefore, with the help of God, the present writer, too, shall try to briefly show from this one gospel that Jesus, …

Speeches In The Book Of Acts, C C. Nieman

Bachelor of Divinity

While a discussion or the isagogical questions of Acts does not belong into the sphere of this treatise properly, we will find that a consideration of the most pertinent questions in the field will be helpful and explanatory of various phrases which will be used. We will, however, limit ourselves to only a few of the most important and evident questions, lest we stray to far afield. Again, let me add, that no arguments pro and con will be advanced, but only the results and conclusions of the most eminent scholars in the field will be presented, in order to …
