The Bridge
"I am as water," Hans Christian Andersen wrote in a letter of 1855. "Everything moves me. Everything is reflected in me. I suppose it is part of my writer's nature, and often I have had pleasure and blessing from it, but it is often also a torment."
Is There A Significant Relationship Between Teacher Credibility And Teacher Effectiveness?, Blake D. Madsen
Is There A Significant Relationship Between Teacher Credibility And Teacher Effectiveness?, Blake D. Madsen
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis was designed to determine if a significant relationship exists between credibility and effectiveness in seminary teachers.
Teacher credibility was determined by an adaptation of McCroskey's semantic differential scales used for measuring teacher credibility. Teacher effectiveness was determined by a matching scripture test.
Chi square tests produced significant relationships between teacher credibility and the following: student religiosity, teacher influence and class attitude. The tests also produced significant relationships between teacher effectiveness and these variables: sex, student religiosity, teacher influence and class attitude. These relationships largely were what one would expect. The chi square test also produced a significant relationship …

Four Utah Mormon Artists As Authors, Roxie Dale Trimble
Theses and Dissertations
In researching the literary and visual art forms of four Utah Mormon artists/authors, considerable evidence supports the prognosis that natural parallels do exist between the written and visual works of artists/authors. Recent as well as past historical data also confirms this hypothesis.
To implement research personal interviews and written questionnaires were submitted. The resultant data compiled supports the prognosis that this parallelism does exist.

Jean Starobinski (1920), Gerda R. Blumenthal
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
Starobinski, Jean (1920-), Swiss literary critic, was born and educated in Geneva, where he completed studies in literature and medicine. Since 1958 he has taught at the University of Geneva. Like his masters Marcel Raymond and Georges Poulet, Starobinski interprets the act of literary creation as an existential project of self-discovery and self-realization, embodied in the dominant thematic patterns and motifs of an author's works.

Carl Spitteler (1845-1924), Marianne Burkhard
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
Spitteler, Carl (1845-1924), Swiss poet, novelist, and essayist, was born in Liestal, canton Basel-Land. Spitteler created an oeuvre that stands apart from the literature of his time. His preference for epic poetry was rooted in the extraordinary visual sense that retained his childhood experiences in bright, archetypal images vividly conveyed in Meine frühesten Erlebnisse (1914; My Earliest Experiences) and enabled him to depict inner life through action.

A Reconstruction Of The Early New Basel Community Of Dickinson County, Kansas, Harvey E. Bross
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
The November 1981 issue of the SAHS Newsletter presented the story of the founding of New Basel as featured by Harvey E. Bross in 1963. The community represents one aspect of the Swiss presence in Kansas that needs further methodical exploration. Between 1860 and 1890 quite a few immigrants from Switzerland apparently chose Kansas as their destination. John Rydjord mentions in his Kansas Place-Names (Norman, Oklahoma: University of Oklahoma Press, 1972), pp. 131-132 the following traces of the Swiss presence: "Helvetia was one of the many towns that boomed and died in Meade County. The place in Finney County where …

Blaise Cendrars (1887-1961), Ursula Schoeni
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
Cendrars, Blaise, pseud. of Frédéric-Louis Sauser (1887-1961), Swiss poet and novelist, was born in La Chauxde-Fonds. The nomadic life imposed upon the Sauser family by the future writer's creative but impractical father permanently marked him. He continually yearned for space and travel; although he made Paris his headquarters and France his adopted country, he never stayed long in one place. A distaste for conformity, an insatiable curiosity, and a remarkable mobility of thought led Cendrars to diversify himself in a literary production overwhelming in its variety and abundance.

Albert Gallatin: America's Geneva Connection, William B. Lloyd
Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter
In February 1801, Washington, the muddy new capital of the United States, was alive with rumors of approaching conflict over the presidency. Despite a strongly anti-Federalist popular vote, electors were evenly divided between Thomas Jefferson, Republican, and Aaron Burr, so that the choice was thrown into the out-going, Federalist controlled House of Representatives. Plans to have the House rule out Jefferson and Burr in favor of a Federalist stalwart were openly discussed. 1,500 Republicans of Maryland and Virginia were reported to be preparing to descend on Washington to assassinate any man thus chosen. The Governor of Maryland was urged to …

Quidditas
The Protestant Reformation called into question many traditions and practices of the Church, including the traditional relation of art to religion. Many Protestant theologians, for instance Calvin and especially Zwingli, condemned religious statues and art as idolatrous or superstitious, partly on the basis of Old Testament prohibitions. Luther and Lutherans approved of religious paintings but rejected the cult of the saints that had figured so largely in medieval and Renaissance religious art. In the Lutheran tradition religious art was more closely tied to the Bible, another manifestation fo the sola scriptura principle. In Catholic circles as well there arose lively …
