Aside from the men and women employed in the manufacturing and merchandising of music, there are some 200,000 persons who make their living as musicians - in music as a profession and life work. Thousands are studying with this goal in view today and there are many more thousands pondering about music as a vocation.

Junior High School Music The Vital Link Between Required And Elective Music, Mary Z. Zenor Jan 1940

Junior High School Music The Vital Link Between Required And Elective Music, Mary Z. Zenor

Graduate Thesis Collection

The junior high school as such is a comparatively new part of the modern educational system.  As, with all new things, it began as an experiment; and as with all worthwhile things, innovations are constantly being tried out, rejected, or accepted.  Much has been said about the junior high as a link between the elementary grades and senior high school, as a period of orientation, as a time of physical as well as psychological change.

The Interpretation Of Holy Scripture By The Consensus Of The Church, V. G. Gilbert Jan 1940

The Interpretation Of Holy Scripture By The Consensus Of The Church, V. G. Gilbert

Graduate Thesis Collection

That the New Testament Scriptures stand alone as the source material of the Christian Way is very widely recognized. As to the final authority of this literature, however, there are two widely divergent schools, the Roman Catholic and the Protestant. The former places authority in the Church militant, while the latter clings to the maxim of Chillingworth, "The Bible is the religion of Protestants".

Some Aspects Of The National Land System As Seen In The Jeffersonville, Indiana, Land Office, Russell W. Curtis Jan 1940

Some Aspects Of The National Land System As Seen In The Jeffersonville, Indiana, Land Office, Russell W. Curtis

Graduate Thesis Collection

Land legislation has long been regarded by many historians as the "driest of historical deadwood." John Fiske has said, however, "if the subject is dull in itself it is closely related to some of the most interesting phases of our history. Without some knowledge of the land system, a study of the westward movement would be only superficial."

Sixty Years Of Pioneer Catholic Education In Indiana 1789-1849, Winifred A. Galvin Jan 1939

Sixty Years Of Pioneer Catholic Education In Indiana 1789-1849, Winifred A. Galvin

Graduate Thesis Collection

Catholicism has existed in the territory now known as Indiana since the latter part of the seventeenth century.  Soon after the exploration of the Mississippi by LaSalle, in 1682, the government of France began to encourage the policy of establishing a line of trading posts and missionary stations in the country lying west of the Alleghany mountains.  Despite many obstacles missionaries followed these traders for a period of seventy-five years.  One of their early posts was established at Vincennes which was the center of activities for the first one hundred years of the institutional life of the Catholic Church in …

The Significance Of [Dam] In The Hebrew Religious System, Karl G. Peterson Jan 1939

The Significance Of [Dam] In The Hebrew Religious System, Karl G. Peterson

Graduate Thesis Collection

A study of the significance of [dam] in the Hebrew religious system immediately presents the problem of the meaning of the word which is used in the title. There are two words in the Hebrew language which are translated "blood", [dam] and [netaach]. The word [dam] is listed more than three hundred times in the Hebrew concordance, while the word [netaach] is listed but once as meaning "blood".

Personal Relation Between Byron And Shelley, Margaret Feeney Jan 1939

Personal Relation Between Byron And Shelley, Margaret Feeney

Graduate Thesis Collection

Any facts or details that might be given concerning the personal relation between two poets whose lives ran closely side by side, whose environment was practically the same, although they reacted to that environment entirely differently, and from whose works we have derived pleasure or profit, can not but be interesting.  This conviction induces me to present a consecutive account of the development of the relation between Byron and Shelley, and to correlate the several interests that occupied their thoughts.  I have endeavored to portray them, not just as two poets, but as citizens of the actual world.

Raymond Poincare's Role In The Negotiations From June 28 To August 4, 1914, Corlie E. Jackson

Graduate Thesis Collection

In view of the unsettled condition of European diplomacy today, it should be profitable to study the antecedents of the World War in more detail than hitherto.  Such a study will make clearer the steps taken by national leaders then - steps which at that time were unable to avoid war.

Educational Qualifications And Personality Characteristics Of The Grade Teacher Who Teaches Music, Harriett J. Wright

The purpose of this thesis on the educational qualifications and the personality characteristics of the grade teacher is to ascertain whether or not the teacher is given adequate preparation for teaching music in her classroom.  The research seems to indicate that comparatively little music training is given students preparing to teach in elementary grades.  It is the author's desire that this thesis will bring to the attention of those in charge of teacher training curricula, the need for additional work in the field of music.

The Historical And Theological Background Of The Reformed Church In The United States, Carl J.G. Russom Jan 1939

The Historical And Theological Background Of The Reformed Church In The United States, Carl J.G. Russom

Graduate Thesis Collection

Long ago God reverently commanded His people Israel to relate to their children and their children's children, what it was He had done for His people in the days of old. We believe this responsibility still to be incumbent not only upon the great church since that day, but upon every community of Christian people since then.

The Early Moravian Settlement In Bartholomew County, Indiana, Vernon W. Couillard Jan 1939

The Early Moravian Settlement In Bartholomew County, Indiana, Vernon W. Couillard

Graduate Thesis Collection

This thesis represents an effort to record, consecutively, a hitherto unpublished narrative of the part which the Moravian immigrants from North Carolina had, in the early settlement of Bartholomew County, Indiana. A previous study of some of the manuscript materials of this thesis, created in the writer, an admiration for the early leader of these Moravians, Martin Hauser. Consequently the work of narrating the happenings and affairs of the community in which he held such a central place, was not a boresome one. The wealth of manuscripts from Hauser's own hand, as well as from other writers, made easier the …

The Effect Of Music On Mental Deficiency, Russell E. Goucher Jan 1939

The Effect Of Music On Mental Deficiency, Russell E. Goucher

Graduate Thesis Collection

In this research we are concerning ourselves with the problem of the validity of tests. What is accomplished in measuring ones intelligence and how does this effect his study of music? Is there a connection between music and the other subjects in his curriculum? If there is a connection and tests are of great value to us then we are justified in saying that a child can study music because he has a high "I. Q." But then what of the many children with a low "I. Q.?" Couldn't music be of benefit to them? Perhaps in many cases music …

The European Background In The Novels Of Henry James, Virginia I. Carnefix Jan 1939

The European Background In The Novels Of Henry James, Virginia I. Carnefix

Graduate Thesis Collection

One generation of concentrated money making followed by another generation of diligent application to intellectual concerns resulted in the flowering of a family of minds, the James family, among whom were two who gained international renown, William James, the philosopher, and Henry James (1843-1916), the novelist. Henry James, Sr., who was a Swedenborgian by faith, was devoted equally to a life of thought and to the education of his children. Because he spent his life trying to evolve a philosophy which would place man in a moral relation to his Creator, thereby eliminating the old beliefs of a relationship of …

Music Students In Academic Subjects, Harold E. Winslow Jan 1939

Music Students In Academic Subjects, Harold E. Winslow

Graduate Thesis Collection

For some time music teachers in high schools have been told that students who maintain good grades in music are seldom good at anything else.  It was this challenge that prompted the present study - not with any idea of proving that music students are better or worse than students in any other academic subjects, but rather to ascertain just how music students stand in their own subjects.

The Theology Of Clement Of Alexandria, Edward M. Sausaman Jan 1939

The Theology Of Clement Of Alexandria, Edward M. Sausaman

Graduate Thesis Collection

The following study of the theology of Clement of Alexandria is an attempt to gain some definite ideas of the theological tenets held by this early Christian. Such a study reveals the fact that Clement did not altogether have a definite theology completely formulated. On some points he has been almost silent - for reasons quite apparent. Although later theologies have attempted to find their justification in these early church fathers, in this work there is no such attempt.

Dickens' Interest In The Theatre, Alberta M. Speicher Jan 1938

Dickens' Interest In The Theatre, Alberta M. Speicher

Graduate Thesis Collection

In this study I have not been concerned with Charles Dickens as the man, or humorist, or novelist; but I have confined my investigation to Charles Dickens' interest in the theatre.  I shall show how he tried to express his theatrical ambitions by acting, producing, and directing plays though he was really a novelist; and how his entire career was colored by his interest in these various aspects of the theatre.

A Critical Investigation Of The Textual Variances Of The Book Of Jonah, Grace C. Henry Jan 1938

A Critical Investigation Of The Textual Variances Of The Book Of Jonah, Grace C. Henry

Graduate Thesis Collection

The subject for this thesis was chosen as a result of a deep interest, on the part of the writer, in the languages of the past and present.  This interest has been increased while engaged in the study of the Hebrew language in the classes of Dr. T.W.Nakarai of the college of Religion at Butler University.  He has made possible a comprehension of the different values and meanings of words as they have passed down through the ages, as well as a realization of the impossibility to express exactly the connoted meanings of words in a language other than that …

The Chivalric Ideal In The Work Of Sir Walter Scott, Margaret E. Remy Jan 1938

The Chivalric Ideal In The Work Of Sir Walter Scott, Margaret E. Remy

Graduate Thesis Collection

During the school year of 1936-1937 I became intensely interested in the study of the Chivalry as brought out in Dr. Harrison's graduate course on The Arthurian Legend.  I was curious to know how Sir Walter Scott, with some of whose novels and poems I was acquainted, had used the chivalric ideal in his work.  Out of that curiosity grew the desire to study further the chivalric ideal and its relation to Scott.  The result of my study of the past year is the survey following.

Jewish Proselyte Baptism And Its Relation To Christian Baptism, Glen W. Mell Jan 1938

Jewish Proselyte Baptism And Its Relation To Christian Baptism, Glen W. Mell

Graduate Thesis Collection

With a Disciple background, the writer of this thesis has quite naturally been very much interested in the subject of Christian baptism.  Any study of the value and meaning of Christian baptism will, of course, lead one back to a consideration of its origin.  It seems that one is usually content with the conviction that Jesus instituted baptism and lets it go at that.

The History Of The Christian Churches In Marion County, Indiana, Perry W. Swann Jan 1938

The History Of The Christian Churches In Marion County, Indiana, Perry W. Swann

Graduate Thesis Collection

The significance of a written History of The Christian Churches or Churches in Marion County, Indiana has been stated on different occasions by many church members. Dr. F.D. Kershner, Dean of the College of Religion in Butler University, expressed his desire in May 1936 that some student in the College of Religion might write such a history. The importance of the work, and Dr. Kershner's suggestion have prompted me to write this dissertation.

Chase And Lincoln In The Election Of 1864, Ellis H. Ewing Jan 1938

Chase And Lincoln In The Election Of 1864, Ellis H. Ewing

Graduate Thesis Collection

The election of 1864 is one of importance to students of American history because it was fraught with many dangers to the Union.  It might have been otherwise and had it been so the nation most certainly would have seen troublous times.  Just how much truth is in the expression of Lincoln's that the country chose him so as not to "swap horses in the middle of the stream" can perhaps be better understood if we have a clearer understanding of the opposition he had in 1864.

An Investigation Of The Various Interpretations Of The Song Of Songs, Gilbert L. Weidman Jan 1938

An Investigation Of The Various Interpretations Of The Song Of Songs, Gilbert L. Weidman

Graduate Thesis Collection

The study of the higher criticism of the Bible has always held great interest to the author of this thesis.  This critical approach to an understanding of each book of the Bible has caused many facts, outside of the book itself, to be found.  Armed with these facts the book itself becomes clearer and clearer as the purpose and the background of the author becomes more and more apparent.

The Problem Of Authority In The Theology Of Alexander Campbell, Kenneth E. Hartman
