A History Of The Manti Temple, Glen R. Stubbs

Theses and Dissertations

The history of the Manti temple, in a sense, began the first winter the Mormon Pioneers spent in Sanpete Valley. Because of the extreme cold they move to "temple hill" for protection. This same hill later became the site of the temple.

It had been predicted by Heber C. Kimball that a temple would someday be built on this spot. By 1873 plans were being made to this end. Preparations for construction were soon in progress and on April 25, 1877, the site was dedicated by President Brigham Young.

Factors That Influenced Homesteading And Land Abandonment In San Juan County, Utah, Melvin J. Frost

Theses and Dissertations

Homesteading in San Juan County, Utah is for the most part, located on Sage Plain at elevations between 6,000 to 7,200 feet. Sage Plain is an undulating surface deeply dissected with canyons. The soil is relatively shallow and the predominant vegetation is pinyon, juniper, sage brush and blue-stem grass.

The 52 year mean precipitation is 15.47 inches. Since the beginning of weather records there has been a noticeable decrease in the annual precipitation. There is generally sufficient moisture to mature winter wheat. Pinto beans are also grown in the more favorable locations.

Principle factors that have influenced homesteading and land …

The Pratt-Newman Debate, Robert Duane Hatch

Theses and Dissertations

The colorful history of Mormon polygamy has many interesting stories to tell, and one of the most interesting is that of Rev. Dr. J. P. Newman's debate with the Mormon Apostle Orson Pratt on "Does the Bible Sanction Polygamy?" This debate was held at the New Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, Utah, on August 12, 13, and 14, 1870. Newman was the Chaplain of the United States Senate and one of the foremost preachers of Washington, D.C. His appearance in Salt Lake City to debate the question of polygamy was a national topic. Probably never before, nor since, has so …

Benjamin Franklin Stewart, Lifetime Pioneer, Janet Jenson

Theses and Dissertations

Contributions to a knowledge of Latter-day Saint Church history can not only be made from a study of the lives of its great leaders, but such contributions can also be made from a study of some of the local leaders of the Church. Benjamin Franklin Stewart was one of these leaders who gained only local and temporary acclaim. Yet he contributed a life of service to his Church.

A Comparative Study Of The Group Guidance Teaching Method And The Traditional Teaching Method In The Seminary System, Garth P. Monson

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this project was to determine if there was a difference between two methods of teaching seminary: (1) the traditional, authoritative, teacher-centered method, and (2) the group-guidance, student-centered method, with regard to helping the students in solving their problems and becoming better adjusted in their personal and social problems.

The Impact Of Usage Studies Upon Recent Grammar Texts, Donald Keith Chiquet

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this study is to show to what degree writers of grammar texts have been influenced by the controversy over usage as a criterion of grammatical acceptability. More specifically, the problem is to show the degree of agreement between textbook writers and liberal grammarians. This information will be used to determine the degree to which textbooks are liberal or traditional. If the texts are liberal, it may be considered that the impact of liberal grammarians upon textbook writers has been great. If these grammar texts are not liberal, or if they are no more liberal than they were …

The Contribution Of A "Layman" To The Restoration Movement, Allan J. Hunter

Graduate Thesis Collection

The name of Tomas Wharton Phillips, (1835-1912), occurs quite frequently in the history of the Disciples of Christ. Probably his family name is best known by its association with Phillips University, Enid, Oklahoma. There has also been a renewed interest in him through the recent completion of the "T.W. Phillips Memorial Library" in Nashville, Tennessee, now the headquarters of the Disciples of Christ Historical Society.

This general interst generated into a special interst, when, during the lectures on the history of the Disciples of Christ, a remark was made to the effect that "there was a need for a more …

St. Mawr: A Critical Study, David Cavitch

English Language and Literature ETDs

Style appears elusively in the flashing shape of a conception. Ideally, the way a thing is thought of becomes the style in which it is expressed. Style is not the man; it is his thought. Lawrence's style is astonishing because he conceived of things in an astonishing way: in St. Mawr the sophisticated prose techniques are the mode of Lawrence's perception, the means of his discoveries.

The Problem Of Time In The Philosophy Of William James, Teruaki Iida

Philosophy ETDs

The problem of time has continued to be a puzzle in the history of philosophy, just as "the problem of Being" has. The time which we experience in ordinary life -- not only emotionally, such as we feel, endure, anticipate or regret, but also intellectually, such as we measure and calculate -- it is not "time itself' but consists in individual, concrete movements and changes.

Anarchism And The Morality Of Violence, Edward Abbey

Philosophy ETDs

The idea of anarchism is embarrassed, however, by its traditional association with illegality and violence. The word itself is sufficient to evoke visions of riot and revolution, bombings and assassinations, in the minds of many who might otherwise be willing to lend to anarchism a measured degree of sympathetic consideration. If anarchism is to regain the intellectual respectability which it deserves, two preliminary quest ions must be answered 1 (1) To what extent is the traditional association of anarchism and violence warranted? And (2), In so far as the association is a valid one, what arguments have the anarchists presented, …

Four Aspects Of Milton's Samson Agonistes: Imagery, Comedy, Autobiography, Tragedy, Ronald Kutny

English Language and Literature ETDs

The lengthily extended figures of speech and the many instances of recurrent synonymous modifiers must be evident even to the most casual reader of John Milton's poetic drama, Samson Agonistes. It is difficult to label, in any simple literary terminology, the technique which I shall discuss and attempt to analyze in this chapter. Therefore, I shall borrow a term from the vocabulary of music in order to indicate, with as much precision as possible, the nature of this technique -- leitmotiv.

An Edition Of William Dean Howells' Literary Friends And Acquaintance With An Introduction Treating Literary Reminiscence As A Genre, David Franklin Hiatt

English Language and Literature ETDs

Although the literary reminiscence is a highly specialized kind of autobiography, many of the problems encountered in autobiography are worth considering when one attempts to focus on the reminiscence. Before placing Literary Friends and Acquaintance into the broad stream of literary reminiscence that appeared in America in the latter part of the nineteenth century, I should like to consider the critical problems of the autobiographical mode and the relationship between autobiography and literary reminiscence. Then I should like to suggest an approach to the literary reminiscence and to consider several individual reminiscences using this approach.
