Leisure And Reading, Pauline Stemmler Apr 1933

Leisure And Reading, Pauline Stemmler

Bachelors’ Theses

Our pleasures are no longer those of our forefathers. With the advent of the motor car, the plane, the radio, and innumerable other modern inventions, life for us has taken on a new aspect. Ours is no longer a day of endless toil and struggle. The hardships of pioneer days have come to an end. Ours is a modern civilization, where machinery and manifold labor-saving devices have made possible shorter working hours and a greater margin for leisure, thus leaving time for play and for the pursuits of individual interests. The increased leisure may be an important contribution to a …

Sensism, George Geldreich

Bachelors’ Theses

The introduction of sensistic notions in the field of philosophy marks a distinct point of departure in the history of philosophic speculation. Although it is true that efforts had been made to establish empirical systems before the seventeenth century, yet it was not until this time that certain men succeeded in setting forth complete philosophic systems based on principles which were fundamentally sensistic.

Devices In Spelling, Corinne H. Standish May 1932

Devices In Spelling, Corinne H. Standish

Bachelors’ Theses

To a large majority of teachers, spelling is a hopeless subject. Frank M. McMurry says in the introduction of "The Teaching of Spelling" by Henry Suzzallo; "It seems to lack the possibility of such rich subject matter as makes reading and history attractive; and to want that organization of its facts that distinguishes every worthy branch of knowledge, since the units that compose it are not thoughts, but merely individual words. In consequence, it is recognized as almost entirely a mechanical study, providing little skill from the teacher, and depending mainly on mere repetition or brute endurance for mastery."

The Rationality Of Belief, Thos. G. Egan May 1932

The Rationality Of Belief, Thos. G. Egan

Bachelors’ Theses

In a philosophical discussion it is necessary, before any hope of mutual understanding can be attained, to make clear the meanings in which terms are to be used. this, I believe, is especially true in any investigation concerning the mind. The modern controversies about knowledge, how it is acquired, and whether or not knowledge is really attainable are too numerous to describe. Materialistic systems of philosophy all base their arguments on the central thesis that the mind is the brain and that there is no necessity of supposing a spiritual entity. An inspection of our concepts demonstrates the folly of …

The Relation Of Faith And Reason In The Philosophy Of St. Thomas Aquinas, Leo A. Fendryk

Bachelors’ Theses

The history of philosophy is a story of few problems and many solutions. From Thales of Miletus to Jacques Maritain and Christopher Dawson, man has sought to answer for questions concerning the things of his experience. Those questions are the what, the whence, the why, and the who. Man has answered these questions in a variety of ways, and in his answers he has left behind him his philosophic systems for the ages to interpret.
