Development Of Irrigation In Wasatch County, Craig Woods Fuller

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

A primary basis for settlement locations in the great basin by the Mormons was the availability of water. The settlement of Heber Valley was no exception.

Water became quickly involved in two important and determining factors (cooperation and self-reliance) in the development of Mormon society in general and Wasatch County's society in particular. Likewise, these two factors influenced the direction in the development of water as it was utilized by the Mormons to establish the "Kingdom of God" on earth. Cooperation and self-reliance in Wasatch County were changed as modifications within the county were made as well as by other …

A History Of Water Resources Development In The Bear River Basin Of Utah, Idaho, And Wyoming, R. Scott Wrenn

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This paper examines the historical process of water resources development in the Bear River Basin and is based on the thesis that the attitudes of Bear River water users towards development reduce to a concern over the scarcity of water or the potential shortage of water. This concern has been a constant and primary focus of water resources development in the Bear River Basin even as water resources technology became increasingly more sophisticated and the legal and political consideration of water resource development became more complex. From the time of the original Mormon settlements in the Bear River Basin Water …

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Before Brigham Young College was founded in 1877, a variety of schools existed in Utah. The Mormons at first, and later the Protestants and Catholics made significant contributions to education in the territory.

Education has always played an important role in the philosophy of the Mormon church. In the early days of church history, the Mormons founded schools in the places they settled. This policy continued when they settled in Utah.

Recital Report, Fae Patterson

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

Performance is vital to a musician and educator because through understanding and analysis of problems the teacher can better help his students. The specific problems for this performer and for this recital were: (1) The interpretation of the music according to the style intended by the composer, and (2) The mastery of the technic needed to overcome difficult passages.

The purpose of the musician was to prepare a recital which would demonstrate tone quality, control, phrasing, musicianship, and confidence in performance. The basic assumption was that the teacher-musician needs to demonstrate these qualities to enable him to more effectively work …

Graduate Recital, Joseph Golden Ward

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

It is the performer's intention through this report to describe (1) the problems he encountered with improving his technique on the french horn, baritone and tuba; (2) how …

The Movement Towards Freedom In Paul Goodman's The Empire City., Eliot Glassheim

English Language and Literature ETDs

The dissertation presents The Empire City as an outline of what freedom meant in the 1930-1960 era. Within the context of an increasingly deadening Empire, the characters shed their false assumptions and wrong habits, carve out some free space for themselves, and begin to perform free acts.

Chapter one discusses four components of free acts. Chapter two presents three traditions of thought which define Goodman's idea of freedom--Anarchist politics, Gestalt psychology, and Taoist metaphysics. Chapter three is an overview of the novel as a journey towards freedom.

The fourth chapter follows the developing idea of what politics should mean to …

The Grim Security Of The Past: The Historiography Of Henry Cabot Lodge, Claude Singer

Dissertations and Theses

By birth, education, and association, Henry Cabot Lodge belonged to an established New England tradition of attention to history and respect for historical writing. He lived during troubled times, and he realized, as his writings indicate, that America was rapidly changing, that old habits were disappearing, and that powerful new forces were at work in the nation and the world. How Lodge reacted to these circumstances is reflected, in part, in his historical writing.

This thesis is an examination of Lodge's historiographic efforts. It is an attempt, through an analysis of style and predominant themes, to describe the cultural values …

The Lost Eden: The New World In American Nature Writing, Kenneth Johnson

English Language and Literature ETDs

Several scholars have traced the Edenic myth through American thought and literature, but heretofore no one has traced the myth through American nature writing. In fact, the work of the nature writers, with the exception of Thoreau, has generally been neglected by scholars and critics. In this study, the works of five naturalist writers--William Bartram, Henry Thoreau, John Muir, Joseph Wood Krutch, and Rachel Carson-­were examined to determine what has happened in American nature writing from the Colonial Period to the present. Although a few of the early explorers in the New World compared America with Eden or Canaan, and …

Indians And Criminal Justice In Early Oregon, 1842-1859, John Samuel Ferrell

Dissertations and Theses

Indian-white relations in early Oregon are often viewed in terms of warfare and treatymaking, but these are only the most obvious aspects of a larger struggle to resolve cultural conflicts, settle land disputes, and establish order in a new territory. Additional understanding of both white attitudes toward Indians and of Indian exasperation with the settlers may be gained from a study of how criminal justice applied to the red man during the turbulent pre-reservation era.

Prior to the coming of America settlers, Oregon Indians knew the justice of the Hudson's Bay Company. In dealing with personas accused of harming HBC …

"Mercy Seasons Justice", Robert Freeman Davidson

Master's Theses

This is a study of the development of the mind of William Shakespeare as it relates to justice which tries to show how certain of Shakespeare's beliefs and theories, those shared by most of his con­ temporaries, were altered in the course of that development. The plays chosen for this treatment of the mind of Shakespeare -- the historically related cycle of Richard II, Henry IV (I and II), Henry V, Henry VI (I, II, and III), and Richard III -- show the ideas in question in greater abundance than any other of Shakespeare's plays. The historical grouping consists …

An Orientation Of The Theoretical Aspects Of Verbs In English, Mostafa Hedayatnia

Master's Theses

Traditional grammar originated in Greece in the fifth century B.C. and has been closely connected with philosophy and literary criticism ever since. Through the course of centuries, numerous grammars have been presented, with new ideas and definitions each "varying greatly in purpose, quality, basic assumption, and method of analysis." Each system of grammar has been productive in its own way as well as erroneous and has been succeeded by other systems still faulty. Consequently, in spite of the tremendous amount of theoretical data processed by investigators and experts, neither an explicit nor a complete grammar of a language has ever …

The Mysticism Of Richard Rolle Of Hampole: An Historical Study Of Causes And Influences, John B. Weber

Bachelors’ Theses

Christian mysticism, by theological definition, is the life of contemplative prayer and meditation by which a person achieves a supernatural love and knowledge of God as he really is. Over the centuries Christian mystics have explained the mystical life as the free gift from God in the Trinity. At the same time these men and women have had difficulty making the nuances of mysticism understandable to non-mystics.

Celibacy And The Gregorian Reform, Raymond M. Rademacher

Masters Theses

Included in the Gregorian Reform of the eleventh century was the clerical discipline of celibacy. Even though celibacy was not a new discipline at that time, Pope Gregory VII vigorously enforced the canons on celibacy. In a matter of such intimacy there was bound to be opposition to the enforcement of these canons. Tradition offered ample support to both parties of the conflict. The long standing tradition of married clergy served as a strong support to those who opposed the Gregorian enforcement. However, the traditional canons in favor of celibacy gave impetus to the reformers of the eleventh century.
