A Study Of Basic Philosophies Of Seminary Teachers Determined By The Ames Philosophical Belief Inventory, V. Mack Sumner

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not there were differences in the basic philosophies of Seminary Teachers who were ranked highest and lowest by experienced coordinators. It also sought to determine which philosophical background was associated with the most successful teachers, and which with the least successful.

Seminary teachers of three districts were surveyed by the Ames Inventory, and each coordinator identified his ten most successful and least successful teachers. The results of the Inventory and the teacher rankings were tabulated and compared, using Chi Square analysis to determine if differences were significant.

The findings indicated …

Four Objects: A Visual Hearing, Katharine Nuckols Gilbert

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis statement is of a two part nature. The first part shows photographs of my creative products in the process of making them and in their completed state. The second part deals with the process involved in my mental activity as these objects were created.

I have presented the photographs of my work first because I feel that viewing the work before reading the text is of primary importance. Visual comprehension of my work is my major purpose.

The photographs in the visual appendix are objects that exist within my world. They are abstractions. They are but a few …

Form-Function Relationships In The Development Of Lds Church Architecture, Ebbie Lavar Davis

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the functions: ordinances, meetings, programs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the development of the physical plant. Inversely, the effect of Church house forms on the development of Church function was investigated. It was found that:
1. In Latter-day Saint Church development, form has always followed function.
2. Function has influenced form to a great extent. Priesthood, meeting, or other program needs are a prime factor in changing the form and design of Church buildings.
3. Form has influenced function only insofar as the physical …

Orson Hyde And The Carson Valley Mission, 1855-1857, Albert R. Page

Theses and Dissertations

The Mormon Church has for years been given credit by historians for the settlement of Carson Valley. Prior to 1854 the LDS Church actually had no connection with that valley except that it was part of the Utah Territory, which the Church controlled. When political dissension against the Mormons developed in Carson Valley, Brigham Young decided to organize the area into a county in 1854. The following year he sent Orson Hyde and other officials there to organize the county government. Within a year Hyde so influenced Young that he agreed to send 250 colonists to Carson Valley in order …

Violence In The Novels Of Emile Zola, Brenda Colleen Shantz

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

The purpose of this thesis is to attempt to group under certain classifications the various types of violence that appear in Zola’s Rougon-Macquart series. For this study all twenty novels of Les Rougon-Macquart, publsihed between 1870-1893, were examined. Violence was not peculiar to any one segment of Second Empire society. It occurred within all classes: the workers, the bourgeoisie, the fishermen, the peasants, and the aristocracy. No study of the Second Empire would be complete without including this aspect of its society.

Experiences In Scale Of Sculpture For Architectural Sites, Maurice Lee Anderson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

My recent interest in the use of cubic forms and rectangular solids led to the use of shapes that have a dynamic emphasis through the horizontal and vertical stresses of movement which interact in terms of structural and spatial dynamics. I have organized these shapes around an imaginary vertical axis which tends to produce a stasis or symmetrical equilibrium. Through the medium of photomontage I have created a series of sculptural juxtapositions or interactions between my work and several local environments. An important outgrowth of my creative work has been the mobility in scale that a piece appears to have …

An Analysis Of The Class Method Of Piano Instruction, Zoe Ann Abrahamson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This study has analyzed the merits of class piano instruction for the purpose of suggesting effective curriculum and group teaching technics. When compared with the aims of private instruction, the goals and purposes of the class approach placed more emphasis upon group dynamics as a means of developing better musical understanding.

Suggestions were offered pertaining to grouping, class management, goals, approaches, and course content for pre-piano musicianship classes, for piano classes comprised of seven and eight year old children, and for adult piano classes. Graded lists of music materials were compiled as a guide for instruction. Desirable equipment and floor …

The Isolated Individual In Selected Short Stories Of Katherine Mansfield, Barbara Norris Corson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this study is to approach Katherine Mansfield's work from a thematic point of view, The scope of her themes is actually quite limited, and all are related in some way to the isolation of the individual, Almost all of her eighty-eight stories can be placed in one or another of three categories, all of which deal with this basic idea, One group shows the isolation of individual members within what appears to be a close-knit family, The second group deals with the woman who isolated from the man with whom she should have a meaningful relationship, usually …

A Study Of The Specifications And Playing Qualities Of The Bb Soprano Clarinet Mouthpiece, Ardella Cullen Hein

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

My visual thesis, titled "Sojourn," is made up of 12 paintings, plus four preparatory drawings and color studies. Collectively, these works are an ongoing narrative commentary on vagaries of the human condition as I have observed them during the past 35 or so years of my adult life. While each of the paintings can be viewed separately, they were intended from the start to be shown together, as I believe the similarities in their subject matter and overall composition have a synergistic effect when viewed as a group. All of the paintings were done in acrylic paints on stretched canvas. …

Excursion: An Original Composition For Flute, Bb Clarinet, Oboe, Tenor Trombone, And Bass Trombone, Ward Maxwell Jamison

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The composition is based on a twelve-tone row, and its derivative forms of retrograde, inversion, and retrograde inversion. These sequences of tones serve as a unifying factor through out the composition. The rhythmic texture has been so structured as to avoid metric patterns implying tonality. This has been achieved through the use of cross rhythms and avoidance of stress at regular time intervals. The composition makes use of motivic variation melodically, texturally, and arithmetically. Much use is made of counterpoint combined with linear and vertical orders, and purely vertical statements. There are two sections of approximately equal length. The first …

An Analysis Of The Marxist Sympathies Of James Farrell As Seen In The Studs Lonigan Trilogy, Carol Richards Durbala

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The years immediately preceding the depression, as well as the depression years, produced an abundance of famous writers. Typically the sensitivity of the creative man led him to feel every pang of hunger, every breath of cold. He was oppressed by poverty when prosperity was flourishing. He cried in rage as big business came into vogue. He despaired at the extreme contrasts existing across the country. When the Marxists of the day took up arms against these problems, the writer armed himself with his most effective weapon -- the pen. Then, as now, the news was colored by the men …
