The Trichotomy (Of Soul, Mind, Body) According To Scripture, Richard Albert Jesse

Bachelor of Divinity

It was therefore as a consequence of this controversy that the latent heretical tendencies of the trichotomous doctrine were for the first time fully discovered, and dichotomy was urged by the Church not only as true doctrine, but also as the antidote for this specific heresy. Especially has dichotomy been championed by the Western Church, whose teachers have been, as a rule, advocates of the two element view. This is true also of Luther and the older dogmaticians. While the question is today scarcely a burning issue, yet it seems still to have champions for each side.

A Compairison Of Dr. Carl Ferdinand Wiilhelm Walther And Dr. Joseph Agusustus Seiss As Preachers, E H. Buchheimer

Bachelor of Divinity

In making a comparison between Dr. Carl Ferdinand Wilhelm Walther, (1811 - 1887) and Dr. Joseph Augustus Seiss,(1823 - 1904) as masters of sacred rhetoric in the American Lutheran pulpit, we must, in order to come to a clear understanding of these men as preachers, take into consideration their early training and the times in which they lived, when the Lutheran Church was just beginning to take root in this country and when preachers and sermons played a different part in congregational life, than they do today.

A study of the early years of their lives shows that a divine …

Mormonism And The Bible, Edwin G. Guebert

Bachelor of Divinity

The inception or Mormonism took place in 1830, when on the 6th of April of that year Joseph Smith Jr. organized the “Church of Jesus Christ or the Latter Day Saints" at Fayette, Seneca County, New York. In November of the same year Sidney Rigdon, a preacher of the Reformed Baptists or Campbellites at Mentor, Ohio, joined the new sect with the majority of his congregation. Since the West seemed to the Mormons to be the land of their future destiny, Smith and his followers moved in that direction and settled at Kirtland, Ohio. This took place in the year …

Normal Spread Between Local And Terminal Market Prices For Sheep, Von T. Ellsworth

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The consuming world must look to eight nations for 68 per cent of its supply of sheep and sheep products, as shown by the accompanying chart and table No. 1. Australia leads other nations with 19 per cent, while the United states follows with 8. 7 per cent of the world's sheep population. The nature of the industry confines it to the more sparsely populated regions, and areas ranking high in cheap grazing lands.

A Contribution To Our Knowledge Of The Aphididae Of Utah, George Knowlton

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

There are many groups of insects in Utah that have not been touched in a systematic way up to the present time, and to the knowledge of the author no systematic work has been done on the homopterous family Aphididae.

Due to the very common occurrence of the aphids, or plant lice, and the need for a simple key that would aid in the determination of these insects, this work was commenced in June 1923, continuous work being carried on in collecting, determining, drawing and describing, up to the present time.

A Study Of Size Inheritance In Wheat, Peter Nelson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The results presented in this paper are from data accumulated by a study of the F3 generation of a cross between the two varieties, Sevier and New Zealand wheat. This cross was made during the summer of 1920 by Professor George Stewart with the object of combining the high-yielding power of Sevier with the strong straw of New Zealand. In the fall of 1922 the problem was assigned to me, at which time I selected about 150 superior plants, possessing the desired characteristics, at least so far as appearance was concerned. Since then these plants and the F3 generation have …

Inheritance Of Chaff Color, Head Shape, And Grain Texture In Wheat, Delmar C. Tingey

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The data presented in this thesis are the results obtained from a study of the F₂ and F₃ generations from a cross between the wheat varieties, Dicklow and Hard Federation. Toward the end of the summer of 1922 this problem was assigned to me by Professor George Stewart. The plants then growing in the field were in the F₂ generation, the cross having been made in 1920 by Professor Stewart. The chief purpose of the cross was to improve the grain quality of spring-irrigated wheat by the application of Mendelian principles in such a way as to …

The Effect Of Dry Heating On Alfalfa Seed And Adulterants, Ernest V. Staker

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The relationship of artificial heating to the germination of seeds has been a subject of more or less interest for the last 75 years. Like other research work, experimenters first had their attention called to the problem largely as the result of innate curiosity. They were interested in the result as measured by germinative power, of the application to seeds of different amounts of heat for varying periods of time, consequently many divergent and sundry experiments were carried out. Seeds of a large number of plants have been subjected to tests and the results recorded. The investigations include the effect …

Qualitative Mendelian Inheritance In Wheat Hybrids, Aaron F. Bracken

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Two methods of crop improvement are open to the plant breeder. Pure-line selection, which might be mentioned first, deals with the natural variability in plant populations. Thru selection, isolation, and comparative yield tests superior individuals are located. Nothing, however, can be added which the plant does not already have. Here hybridization provides a new starting point. Increased variation, new combination of characters, and thus greater opportunities are provided for improvement. The present investigation has for its purpose a study of the latter phase of this subject.

In certain parts of Utah the straw from dry-land wheat is used for feeding …

Inheritance Studies In Kanred X Martin And In G-149 X Ridit, Myron T. Hansen

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The studies here reported involve two crosses, one of which was between a pure line of Kanred and a pure line of Martin from a bunt resistant selection. The other was between a pure line of G-149, a rust-resistant segregate from Sevier x Dicklow, and a pure line of Ridit. These were both economic breeding projects made in an effort to combine the good commercial qualities of Kanred and G-149 with the high bunt resistance of Martin and Ridit, respectively.

These crosses also furnished, as a by-product, some good genetic data, as in each cross one parent was fully awned …

A Method Of Snow Surveying And Its Application To Forecasting Stream Flow, Leslie Bowen

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The value of knowing ahead of time the amount of water to be expected from any given stream before the season is to far spent is a valuable asset.

Field Studies Of The Control Of The Sugar Beet Nematode. (1920-24). (Heterodera Schachtii Schmidt)., Alfred H. Bateman

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The dire consequences of nematode invasion have been graphically depicted by Spiegler (1907), who says, the beet industry was at its heyday during the seventies. Nor satisfied with the land already in cultivation, the farmer plowed fertile lands along the border of the streams, wherein to grow beets, obtaining in some cases of 20 to 27 tons an acre.

The Curriculum And The Individual, Mary Tomelty

Bachelors’ Theses

Modern ideals require that all shall be educated. In the first place this education must be serviceable to the individual from a cultural, social, and practical viewpoint. Today compulsory education is the rule in all civilized countries. But even with this, the school must make an appeal which is sufficiently interesting and worth while to keep the children in school. Among the means to accomplish this end is a better curriculum or course of study. Interest and more effective effort in school may thus be secured. The modern school must take "ail the children of all the people" and do …

Newspaper Ethics, David M. Delany

Bachelors’ Theses

Practically every newspaper before 1900 had been a law unto itself. Journalism was without a code of ethics or a system of self-restraint and self-respect. This is well shown by the fighting attitude of the early editor who left his newspaper office to visit a rival editor arid force his opinion upon him with physical force if necessary. Early journalism had no sure standards of either work or duty. Its intellectual landscapes were anonymous; its moral destination was confused. From that time the journalistic standards have continued to raise until today it is said that the ethics of journalism are …

The Power To Appeal To The Emotions, Joseph E. Skwerski

Bachelors’ Theses

In this thesis, we shall attempt to show, that the power to appeal to the emotions gives a book permanent interest and consequently literary quality. From the very outset of our discussion, we shall deal entirely with ·the emotions in general and the elements involved in emotion. After this consideration we shall spend some time upon the literary emotions and their appeal, the sense to beauty, the power to appeal to the emotions as exhibited in the works of Poe and Pope, and gradually arise to the proof, that the power to appeal to the emotions gives a book permanent …

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.

The Subconscious Mind, Stuart Johnston

Bachelors’ Theses

Bachelors’ Theses

Miracles! What are they? Are they possible? Do they actually occur? Can they be explained?

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.

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 …
