Organizing And Teaching A String Program, Dale Eugene Kempter

Music ETDs

It is the purpose of this study to present reasons for and methods used in organizing a string program, and to present the pedagogical technics employed in the teaching of the string instruments. The introductory and musical examples relating to such technics as shifting, positions, and bowing would be impossible to cover completely within the scope of this book.

Le Grand Translateur: The Theory And Practice Of Ezra Pound In Selected Translations, Peter H. Ohlin

English Language and Literature ETDs

The present study does not pretend to be a definitive study of Pond's translations. It will, however, try to outline the main points about Pound as a translator. It will discuss, first of all, Pound's statements about translating as a craft as well as on his own translations and those of others, and try to define--if only tentatively--Pound's major principles of translations. It will discuss specifically some of Pound's translations, chosen not always because they are the most representative, but because the present writer is able to examine them. This part will include translations from the German, from the Anglo-Saxon, …

Charles Godfrey Leland: The American Years, 1824-1869, Ralph Carlisle Smith

American Studies ETDs

In view of the frequent reliance on Leland's books and articles, I have, on the suggestion of my graduate committee, attempted in this dissertation to evaluate Leland and his writings in order to establish some basis for the accuracy of his statements and the general reliability of Leland as a witness. I have also presented many of his views expressed in books and papers not readily available to or often considered by other students of his times. Though the initial approach to this study of Leland was made objectively or, if subjectively, only sympathetically prejudicial, I must admit that with …

Statehood For New Mexico, 1888-1912, Robert W. Larson

History ETDs

Because of her long history, far more tumultuous and varied than that of the other territories; and her culture, so different from all the rest of the United States, New Mexico was the most intriguing and challenging of the western territories. Modern American history has paralleled this unique past by showing that New Mexico, along with her sister territory Arizona, fought the longest and most complex battle for statehood. In the 1880's New Mexico was one of the many territories in the western domain in the United States. In fact, statehood in the west was the exception rather than the …

A Critical Study Of John Milton's On The Morning Of Christ's Nativity, Daniel Patterson

English Language and Literature ETDs

One can hardly avoid, in writing a critical study of John Milton's On the Morning of Christ's Nativity, the sense of having been preceded by a sizable vanguard of scholars. Upon Virtually every tree there is a blaze, in nearly every trail a footprint. But without the successes, failures, guesses and assertions of those who have gone before him, the aspiring critic of so complex a poem might return without ever having sighted his quarry. Criticism of Milton's Hymn has not been remarkable for any deviation from the common patterns of literary scholarships during the past centuries. In fact, …

An Investigation Of Decision Procedures For The Propositional Calculus, J Dalton Tarwater

Philosophy ETDs

This thesis has as its central purpose the positing of a novel procedure for finding the totality of valid conclusions to a given set of statements in the Propositional Calculus. it is divided into five main parts. Part I is largely a criticism of existing decision procedures for the Propositional Calculus. Part II posits a formal structure which is given an interpretation in Part III. It is the interpretation of that structure which provides the new procedure for analyzing arguments. Part IV is a detailed criticism of a particular method which is supposed to supply all of the valid conclusions …

Jack London's Heroes: A Study Of Evolutionary Thought, Roy W. Carlson

American Studies ETDs

The important thing, in terms of this study, is that evolutionary speculation had a popular audience and a relatively large audience. Not only did people who had never seen copies of The Origin of Species or The Descent of Man feel perfectly familiar with their contents and qualified to talk about them, but serious thinkers were reading scientific and pseudo-scientific books at an unprecedented rate. For instance, Spencer's books had a sale of 368,755 copies in the authorized editions in the United States between 1860 and 1903. The testimony of John R. Commons as to Spencer's popularity is well known. …

Conrad Aiken's Preludes For Memnon: A Thematic Analysis, Henry B. Chapin

English Language and Literature ETDs

My hope is that this essay will be one small contribution in making Conrad Aiken as important and formidable in the eyes of the world as he is in fact. It is difficult to read much of Aiken without feeling, I think, that he has somehow been unjustly neglected in the contemporary assessment of modern poets. Thus it is my further hope that my discernment has anticipated my judgment, and that Conrad Aiken's Preludes for Memnon is treated in the following pages in such a way that his recognition as one of the great American poets will be appreciably facilitated.

The Horatian Imitations Of Pope And Swift, Robert Garland

English Language and Literature ETDs

The English writer of the Sixteenth Century--particularly the translator--worked with a new sense of national vitality and purpose, but he was dependent on, and to a certain degree, subservient to, the sense of form and literary history seen in the ancient world, in modern Italy, and occasionally in France. But by the beginning of the Eighteenth Century, England had become so apt a pupil that it felt itself more the inheritor than the learner.

British Public Opinion On The Anglo--German Naval Rivalry, 1900-1909, Barbara Mckay Willis Shaver

History ETDs

This thesis investigates the opinions expressed in British circles of the development of the German navy during the years 1900-1909. It attempts to determine to what degree Great Britain considered the German navy a threat to her own sea supremacy and what specific action was brought about as a result of the German Navy Act of 1900.

Primitivism In The Faerie Queene, Andrew R. Segura F.S.C.

English Language and Literature ETDs

Renaissance primitivism may be described as a literary interest in and an occasional preference for 1) past times as possessing sturdier virtues and better general conditions for the good life; an interest manifest especially in the admiration of a classical golden age, in a sense of loss of the innocence of Eden, and in the memories of the glory of the national past (contrasted with the baseness of certain aspects of the present); 2) a more contented, less sophisticated life providing leisure and opportunity for study and contemplation in such forms as the life of the shepherd or even that …

Intention And Actuality In The Fiction Of William Dean Howells, William J. Mcmurray

English Language and Literature ETDs

This study of Howells' fiction is a discussion of representative novels of the author's from A Foregone Conclusion in 1875 through his last novel, The Vacation of the Kelwyns, in 1920. The arrangement of the novels in chronological order is primarily for convenience; no attempt has been made to trace the literary development of the author. My purpose, rather, has been to show that Howells, throughout the greater part of his career as a novelist, was consistent in his literary method. To understand that method is to have a better understanding of meaning in the novels. Finally, in demonstrating that …

The Phonemic Structure Of Medieval Spanish As Reflected In The Libro De Buen Amor, John Forsyth

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

The purpose of this study is to describe the phonological system of a medieval Spanish text, in an attempt to fill one of the many lacunae in the history of the development of the Spanish language.

Federal Military Agencies, 1861-1865, Irwin L. Nolan

History ETDs

The Civil War in the United States was a gigantic moral and physical effort that has elicited the feelings of hundreds of its participants and thousands of its students. Yet, in all of the treatment of the conflict, a dearth of information is available on the informational agencies that contributed to the Union military victory. No historian to date has chosen to publish a definitive study of these agencies and it is the hope here that some light can be shed on four types of organizations that were, for the most part, developed as a result of the war. This …

The Origins And Importance Of The Initiation Story In Twentieth Century British And American Fiction, Robert S. Bickham

English Language and Literature ETDs

The third and final advantage of the method of explication is that it will, I hope, increase the respect of the readers of serious fiction for the short story as a significant art form. For well over a decade now poems and novels have been subjected to the severest critical scrutiny, while the short story has received but little. In fact one of the reasons this study was undertaken was because of the appalling paucity of criticism of the short story. Just as explication has highlighted the artistic excellence of many poems and novels, so it may help to modify …

John Gerson And The Conciliar Movement, Arthur E. Wright Jr.

History ETDs

The salient event in church history in the two hundred years previous to the Protestant Revolution was the decline of the Catholic Church. During the High Middle Ages the Church and its visible head had enjoyed tremendous prestige. In many ways the Church had dominated and controlled the lives of men. This was not to be the case during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries when the Catholic Church and the Papacy were to lose their dominant position and other forces and influences became supreme. If, in many ways, this was an internal decline, visible signs of it were not lacking.

An Approach To The Presentation Of Art History On The Junior High School Level, Vivian N. Grelick

Art & Art History ETDs

This project is more of a beginning than a summation. The material represents the framework and initial trial chapters of an art history survey book. The writer's intent is not to produce another work, to add to the many already available, for use on the college level. The book, when completed, is rather intended for fruitful use as a junior high school text.

The Navajos And Federal Policy, 1913-1935, Lawrence C. Kelly

History ETDs

Most studies of the American Indian are confined to the more romantic eras of his history: the nineteenth century and before. But few studies, relatively, are concerned with the recent, twentieth century aspects of Indian history. While the reason for this is obvious, as the Indian vanishes, so does interest in him fade, it is nevertheless true that some tribes are growing and their vitality in the twentieth century is a subject worthy of consideration.

An Analysis Of The Paradoxes In Jean-Paul Sartre's Existentialism, David Ronald Burke

Philosophy ETDs

The purpose of this study is: (1) to examine Sartre’s intellectual background in search of those elements which have led to the development of paradoxical concepts; (2) to collect and examine current criticisms of Sartre’s philosophical position; and (3) to show why the interpretation of his philosophy as an embodiment of paradox necessitates a re-evaluation of critical attacks.

Church And State During The Second Spanish Republic, 1931-1936, José M. Sánchez

History ETDs

In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries groups of reformers demanded a decrease in the Church's powers as a prelude to national political, social and economic reform. But, even they were cautious enough not to demand a complete separation of Church and State. Thus, despite economic attacks upon the Church's landed wealth, and despite a semi-official policy of anticlericalism, the church-state union survived intact until 1931.

The reformers of 1931 deemed it their task to legislate complete separation of the two jurisdictions. Because they wanted the Church forever excluded from the political, social, and intellectual life of the nation, they …

A Method Of Structural Analysis Of The Novel, Clinton F. Hurley Jr.

English Language and Literature ETDs

This study is intended to be a contribution to the aesthetics of the novel. It is motivated by the assumption that the main purpose of criticism of the novel is to help the reader perceive, understand, and evaluate novels and that the main purpose of aesthetics of the novel is to help the critic understand the principles behind perceiving, understanding, and evaluating novels. According to this assumption, the major function of aesthetics, then, is to supply the critic with a consistent theory of art and with a practical method of criticism. In one sense, criticism is applied aesthetics, and aesthetics …

Symbolic Texture In A Selection Of The Short Fictions Of D.H. Lawrence, Robert L. Stallman

English Language and Literature ETDs

Symbolic texture, a combination of two terms outlined above, uses images generally thought of as textural to form groups of symbols that support the main theme of a story and provide for its underlying unit. This element or quality is in the work; it is not the feeling or "radiance" arising from the reader's reception of the work.

The stories I have chosen to illustrate symbolic texture and to trace its variations in Lawrence's work are: Odour of Chrysanthemums, Daughters of the Vicar, The Horse Dealer's Daughter, The Fox, The Virgin and the Gypsy. These …
