Master's Essays (1922 - )

Aristotle's Theory Of Principles: A Rationalistic-Empirical Bipolarity, Joseph J. Romano

Bryn Mawr College Dissertations and Theses

Primarily, this paper attempts to analyze Aristotle's notion of "principle" as it is uniquely applied throughout his works. "Principle" is a basic notion; and it is, moreover, the basic notion in Aristotle's philosophy. The purpose here is to establish as precisely as possible the meaning of 'principle' and the role that it plays in Aristotelian thought. It is shown that the meaning of "principle" involves a certain bipolar tension which strains between a logico-epistemic pole and an on tic pole. This tension grounds a philosophy which constantly vacillates between a rationalistic idealism and an empirically oriented naturalism.

In The Mind's Eye : A Study Of Shakespeare's Imaginative Use Of Stage Properties In Six Representative Plays, Margaret Hart Glenn Tinsley

Master's Theses

The unity, or stylistic oneness, that is the most salient characteristic of Shakespeare's style has been achieved with such consummate ease that the underlying pattern of workmanship is imperceptible at a casual reading. Upon analysis, however, the ingenious means which the playwright has employed, perhaps unconsciously, to create this effect of unity easily may be discerned.

This paper is an analysis of the stage properties in six plays and their function in the plays' overall design. In this study it may be seen that within each play each stage property is so imaginatively used that it seems at once both …

Reconstructing Shabazz : Images Of The Black Man In Four Black Plays, William Charles Thompson

Master's Theses

When Elizabeth I ascended the throne in 1558, she was confronted with a changing economic situation. English industry, which had for centuries been localized in the towns under guild control, was maturing and becoming national in scope. In accordance with the prevailing economic precepts of the age, Elizabeth desired to bring industry under a system of national regulation. Such a system of regulation was, however, even for the strongest and most ingenious of the Tudor autocrats, a difficult and elusive goal. Plagued throughout her long reign by a shortage of funds, Elizabeth simply could not afford to involved the state …

The Danville Riot Of 1883 : Its Effect On Politics In Virginia, William Carrington Tate

Master's Theses

Dr. Richard L. Morton, a Virginia historian who lived in the early twentieth century, wrote, "the recrudescence of the race question has occurred in Virginia politics only in times of political stress, when the negro vote has been necessary to keep certain elements in power." Probably no more powerful example of Dr. Morton's words has occurred in the Old Dominion than that outbreak of passions between blacks and whites in the streets of Danville on November 3, 1883, only three days before the legislative election for the state was to take place.

In the pages of this thesis I will …

Partial Reinforcement With A Small Number Of Acquisition Trials : The Effects Of Reward Technique, Samuel Joseph Thios

Master's Theses

There have been a number of investigators who have noted superior resistance to extinction of a runway locomotion response by rats which were trained under partial reinforcement schedules as compared with rats trained under continuous reinforcement schedules (e.g., Logan, Beier & Kincaid, 1956; Weinstock, 1954; Badia, 1965; McCoy & Marx, 1965; Black & Spence, 1965).

The present experiment, involving four acquisition trials and nine extinction trials, was designed to investigate the influence of reward technique in an experimental context which systematically examined the effects of thwarting and nonthwarting reward techniques.

Monopolies During The Reign Of James I., William Charles Thompson

Some Female Types In The Novels Of Emile Zola, Sinikka Murto

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

The purpose of this thesis is to attempt to group under certain classifications some of the most interested and typical of the many female characters that appear in Zola’s Rougon-Macquart series.

For this study thirteen novels published between 1871-1893 and including all the major works of Les Rougon-Macquart series have been chosen. In background and choice of character they include the great city, the village and the farm, the aristocracy, the bourgeoisie and the peasant. In this way it is hoped to present some of the most striking and unusual women who illustrate this great panorama of the Second Empire.

The Theme Of Social Decay In The Last Five Novels Of James Fenimore Cooper, Cecil John Miller

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The following discussion is intended to deal with the theme of social decay as it comes to expression in the last five novels of James Fenimore Cooper.¹ The method adopted for realizing this intention is to examine closely the characteristic features of the late novels in order, first, to ascertain the precise nature of the theme of social decay as an intellectual statement and, secondly, to appraise the artistic means chosen for embodying this theme in the individual books. Hence the primary emphasis of the investigation lies with the thematic study of the source, that is with the novels …

Ibsen’S Influence On The Spanish Dramatist Jose Echegaray, Isabel Alvarez

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

In the history of literature there are certain writers who owe their importance not only to their creative stature, but to the fact that they give life or incorporate ideas and ideals of their times that had hardly registered in the intellectual sensibility of the elite. Such men represent the new stages in the awareness of men’s condition. One of them was the playwright José Echegaray y Eizaguirre (1832-1916). This thesis records in a modest way some aspects of a renovated consciousness.

Several dramatic critics have pointed out that the Norwegian Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906), influenced the plays of Echegaray; but …

An Original Composition For Chorus Missa Brevis, Robert Austin Barbey

All Master's Theses

In the composition of this Mass the composer was faced with several alternatives in the selection of a suitable musical style. These choices were narrowed to include (1) "traditional" or "romantic"; (2) "pop"; or "jazz"; (3) "folk-mass"; or (4) avant garde. The ultimate choice was a synthesis, consisting of devices from fourteenth century music, and elements of contemporary style.

Luther The Musician, Charles L. Hill

Honors Theses

The chief contributions of Martin Luther to Western civilization are in the fields of theology and religious reform; but his influence upon, and even his direct contributions to, the development of music also are of considerable importance. Luther has established a place for himself in history as "the great German religious reformer who began the Protestant Reformation" (Brit., 436), but his abilities as a musician are often overlooked. That Luther had a great love for music is clear from a letter which he sent to Ludwig Senfl, the court musician at Munich, on October 4, 1530, in which he says: …

Erik Satie And His Influence On Music In France In The Twentieth Century, Lindsey Peters

Honors Theses

In nearly every period in musical history that is marked by dramatic change in thought and composition, there emerge figures whose contribution lies more in the philosophical and aesthetic influence than in the actual music they produced. It was true of the Florentine Camerata, whose influence did not reach musical fruition until Monteverdi. In late nineteenth and early twentieth century France, Erik Satie was a harbinger of directions French music was to take in the next fifty years. Although his music exhibits many advanced techniques, ideas revealed in Satie’s writings and conversations with artists of all media were influential in …

Use Of The Simultaneous Cross-Relation By Sixteenth Century English And Continental Composers, Tim Montgomery

Honors Theses

The principle of the simultaneous cross-relation in vocal music has generally and commonly been associated with the English composers of the sixteenth century. This assumption has been more specifically connected with secular music, namely the English madrigal. To find the validity of this assumption in relation to both secular and sacred music I have compared the available vocal music of three English composers, two major and one minor: Thomas Tallis (1505-1585), William Byrd (1543-1623), and Thomas Whythorne (1528-1596). In deciding whether the simultaneous cross-relation was an aspect of English music exclusively, I examined vocal music of three composers of the …

Economic Policies Of The Privy Council 1620-1628, Jean A. Scott

Honors Theses

The first English patents of monopoly appeared in the decade from 1561 to 1570. The privileges granted under the patents wore of three types, involving the exclusive rights either of supervision of an industry, of use of techniques or processes in production, or of trade in a product. Although intended primarily to stimulate intervention and commerce, the monopolies were a potential source of power and wealth for monarch and courtier.
