The Indian In Southwestern Fiction, Ella Brice Morris Kennedy

English Language and Literature ETDs

To the writer of fiction who has his ear to the ground, the recent multiplication of books in Indian fictional literature in the Southwest offers both a hint and a challenge. For years the growth of Indian fiction in the Southwest was slow and its product unimportant, and this in spite of the fact that excellent examples were set by both Helen Hunt Jackson and Adolf Bandelier . Perhaps the primitive mind was thought too rudimentary for the complex psychological studies popular in the closing years of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth.

English Language and Literature ETDs

The purpose of this study is to touch upon these sources only briefly and to consider in some detail the likenesses and differences of four selected versions written since the invention of the printing press. Especial emphasis will be given the handling of the three chief characters: Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot. The first version is the long prose one of Sir Thomas Malory called Le Morte D'Arthur, which was published by Caxton in 1485. The other three versions, modern and written in poetic form, are: Alfred, Lord Tennyson's Idylls of the King, published in 1889; Edwin Arlington Robinson's Lancelot, published …

History Of The Kansas Mennonites With A Study Of Their European Background, Victor C. Seibert

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

Many books have been written on Mennonite history, but these deal largely with the religious aspect of their life. The purpose of this thesis is to present the social, moral, economic and political aspects of their migrations and life, not only of their early centuries, but of the present time. Only enough of the religious element will be presented to give a general modern knowledge of their religious beliefs which in turn influence their life in general.

A Study Of The Administration And Organization Of The High School Band In Western Kansas, Paul H. Andree

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

This study is a scientific investigation to determine the educational values of band instruction as a part of the curriculum as well as the accepted methods of procedure, organization and administration of the high school band in Western Kansas. It is obvious that in such an extensive survey as this, it is necessary that the factors involved be limited to certain particular phases of the problem. For this reason and since the greatest outward appearance of advance in the band movement has been made in the past decade in Western Kansas the present survey will present the situation as found …

The Jeffersons In America : A Study Of The Economic, Social, And Political Background Of Thomas Jefferson's Ancestors, Henry Snellings Jr.

Honors Theses

Why is it that some men are born and live and die, yet we never hear of them, or even know they exist; and on the other hand, one man, by merely the statement of an idea make his name immortal, and his actions unite a nation behind him and set an example for the world? Most men's graves are neglected and bare, save for the attentions of their loved ones and friends; others become a shrine reverently visited by a whole people.

The Mormons In Chihuahua, Their Relations With Villa And The Pershing Punitive Expedition, 1910-1917, Raymond J. Reed

History ETDs

It is the purpose of this paper (1) to give a brief survey of the Mormon Colonies in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico; (2) to trace the relations between two of these colonies, Colonia Dublan and Colonia Juarez, and Francisco Villa during the years from 1910 through 1917; (3) to trace the relations between these two colonies and the Pershing Punitive Expedition; and (4) to show the invaluable assistance given the American soldiers, in their pursuit of Francisco Villa, by the many Mormons employed by the United States government as scouts and trackers.

St. Louis In The Santa Fe Trade, Ruth A. Leeper

History ETDs

Many works have been written concerning the Santa Fe trade and the various traders who had a part in carrying it on; but to the writer's knowledge no one has written an account of the part which St. Louis had in this great commerce. Writers generally state the Santa Fe was the western end of the trail and Franklin of Independence was the eastern end. St. Louis was situated off the highway, as it were; and, although she might have participated in the trade, being off the highway, it is usually judged that her part in it was slight. The …

A History Of The Towns And Townships In Racine County, Harry Delorr Brooks

Bachelors’ Theses

This thesis is based upon evidence procured from settlers who have lived in Racine County all their lives, and to whom has been handed down a history of living memories. The work is further substantiated by other authors who have delved much deeper into the origin of these regions than my limited time would allow, but I believe that I have obtained facts which would probably never have been known but to a limited quantity of the inhabitants hereabouts. I found that most of the inhabitants were more than willing to give up time and energy in my quest for …

Roman Comedy Characters, Gertrude Sidek

Bachelors’ Theses

At the first glance any connection between the modern comedies we see on our Broadway stages and the plays the ancient Romans saw in their elaborately decorated theatres, seems improbable. If it were possible for us to attend the Imperial theatre in New York today and see a modern production, then fly backwards some two thousand years and attend a Roman play, we would see a great many resemblences. For one thing the stage settings might be a great deal alike, as many of our modern architectual and stylized sets resemble the Roman stage without its elaborate ornaments. Next we …

Bachelors’ Theses

Cooperative Milk Marketing In The Milwaukee Milk Shed, Robert John Smith

Bachelors’ Theses

Few people realize today that milk is by far the most important agricultural product in the United States, furnishing as it does one fourth of the total farm income. In any normal and typical year, such as 1936, the value of wheat and cotton, added together, fall far short of the cost of the milk crop. If we take the eight leading crops in 1936 and rank them in the order of their cash value, we see that wheat is eighth and hay is crowding cotton for fourth place. Here is the list and to avoid astronomical figures, the author …

St. Bonaventure On The Relationship Between The Natural And Supernatural Virtues, Virgil William Kalchthaler

Bachelors’ Theses

The Middle Ages, although commonly called the Dark Ages, are probably the most interesting and intrigueing period of the history of the world. It was rich in learning as well as in adventure. It found the Holy Roman Church, whose history is more intrigueing than the history of any existing government today, changing the course of the history of the world in its intellectual as well as in its political phase.

A Translation Of, And Commentary On St. Thomas Aquinas' De Natura Verbi Intellectus, Thomas A. Mccormack

Bachelors’ Theses

Man, whenever he is sufficiently sure of the necessities of life and his sufficient leisure to think, has become interested in the acquisition of knowledge and of the wisdom which grows out of it. And then, as soon as he has acquired some knowledge for its own sake, he becomes self critical and wonders about the truth of that knowledge. Thus, at the very foundation of our western philosophy we find philosophers earnestly engaged in making the distinction between knowledge and opinion, and in trying to solve the problem of truth.

That this problem is a most persistent one is …

Dickens' Social Criticism With An Exemplification Of It In Three Of His Novels, Loraine Kreuz

Bachelors’ Theses

The humanitarian novel, with which Dickens' name is preeminently associated, is the most available record of the deep and far-reaching philanthropic movement of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Ludwig Anzengruber's Attitude Toward The Catholic Church, Anne Hoerburger

Bachelors’ Theses

In the following three chapters I propose to discuss Der Pfarrer von Kirchfeld, Die Kreuzelschreiber, Der Meineidbauer, and Der G'wissenswurm, with an attempt to discover the attitude of the author, Ludwig Anzengruber, toward the Catholic Church. I shall not consider or attempt to discuss these dramas as re­gards their merit or demerit as dramatic works or as pieces of literature; nor shall I attempt to criticise the technique of the author, or his rank among the literary figures of the world. Any statements that I may make with regard to these points will be purely incidental …

Chargis A Study On The Word For Grace In The New Testament, Robert Zorn

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The scope of this present study is not to be distinctly Doctrinal, or historical, tracing the doctrine of grace and its various aberrations, through history, much as such a study would be interesting and instructive. That would take us too far afield. It is our purpose to confine ourself to an examination of the word χ͔χ́ρ͔ις itself, and to trace its use in the New Testament. Seeing the importance of the Doctrine of Grace, it is essential that we study the divinely revealed record, to see how the word is used. This must ever be the basis for all doctrine, …

The Northwestern Shoshone Indians, (A) Under Tribal Organization And Government, (B) Under The Eccleastical Administration Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints As Exemplified At The Washakie Colony, Utah, Joshua T. Evans

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The Northwestern Shoshone Indians is the tribe of Indians that inhabited the territory north of the Great Salt Lake comprising the northern part of Utah and the Southern part of Idaho. The Indians have loose boundary lines, yet we can definitely state that this tribe occupied the territory from the Weber river on the South to the Snake river on the North; from Bear Lake and Bear river on the East to Raft river and Goose creek on the West. Their confines would take in Weber, Rich, Box Elder, Cache, and part of Morgan, counties in Utah; and Bear Lake, …

The Life And Teachings Of John The Baptist, Reinhold Mueller

Bachelor of Divinity

Thus it is the office of John• which we honor. The office of John was first of all to make the world humble, to call people to repentance and make them confess their sins, that is, to preach the Law. Secondly he was to preach forgiveness of sins and salvation, the sweet Gospel with all it’s comfort. Therefore he who reads Walther's "Gesets und Evangelium" may do well to study the teachings of John at the same time, and he will find it an excellent collateral reading tor his study. Of course we know that there are extremes on both …

St Paul's Use Of The Word Πνευμα, Paul Meyer

Bachelor of Divinity

No one who studies the writings of St. Paul for any length of time can fail to note the frequent recurrence of this word and the importance which attaches to a correct understanding of its various shades of meaning. It occurs 149 times in the thirteen letters commonly ascribed to Paul, and, while there is in a study of Paul's conception of ηνε̂υμα a rich supply of material for investigation alike by the philosopher, the philologist, and the theologian, it is in the last field that its greatest value lies. Without a correct understanding of what Paul meant by the …

The Social Outlook Of The Lutheran Church, Richard Huegli

Bachelor of Divinity

I am not writing with the thought of instituting a church-wide swing toward the "social Gospel ", or even with the hope of a sudden plunge of the church into the sphere of sociology. Our church is definitely Scriptural, so it is my purpose to bring out on the basis of the biblical background for social work, the extent into which our church has delved into social service, and a few humble suggestions for greater service to man and thus to God. It is the hope that such specific emphasis upon our present labors in this field will make us …

An Introductory Study Of The Terms Used Of Idols In The Old Testament, Roland Dede

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this thesis, as is implied in the title, is to present an introductory study of the terns used of idols in the Old Testament. It is needless to say that no attempt has been made even to approximate an exhaustive presentation of all, or any single one of the forty-eight terms which cone into consideration. Indeed, almost any one of the terms would be found upon thorough study in itself to provide sufficient material for an acceptable thesis. We have, therefore, confined our attention to just those facts which we thought were strictly essential for at least …

God's Manifestation As Jehovah In Exodus 3-15, 18, Willis Laetsch

Bachelor of Divinity

It is remarkable that in the first two chapters of Exodus the expression "the Lord” is not once used. There only "God" is found; cp. the last three verses of chapter 2, where "God" is used five times in quick succession. Due to this notable lack of "the Lord" and the predominance of "God" in Genesis and the first two chapters of Exodus, critics have devised the theory of two authors, the Elohist and the Jahvist, the former in his record using the expression Elohim and the latter Jahweh. However, that is only the rationalistic point of view. In comparison …

The Work Of The Holy Ghost In The Pauline Epistles With Special Reference To Enthusism, Norbert Mueller

Bachelor of Divinity

Ever since the beginning of the Christian Church, Satan has tried to corrupt also this precious doctrine. In this treatise we shall consider, above all, one perversion of the doctrine of the work of the Holy Ghost, namely, the error of Enthusiasm, which our Confessions describe as the folly of "fanatical men, who dream that the Holy Ghost is given not through the Word, but because of certain preparation of their own, if they sit unoccupied and silent in obscure places, waiting for illumination, as the Enthusiasts formerly taught and the Anabaptists now teach.”

Predestination According To Ephesians 1, 3-14, Delvin Ressel

Bachelor of Divinity

The last of these expressions shall form the basis for the outline of the present treatise, in this slightly altered form: "Eternal election of grace in Christ Jesus responsible for all the spiritual blessings of Justification, conversion, sanctification, and preservation." Part One will deal with, the Decree of Election, or Election in Eternity, while Part Two will deal with the Execution of this Decree, or Election in Time. Each part will treat the respective terms of the definition according to "Definition" and. "Proof."

The Use Of Illustrations In Christian Preaching, Armand Ulbrich

Bachelor of Divinity

One of the devices which preachers throughout the centuries have employed to bring their message to the hearts of the people more clearly and forcefully is Illustration. Christ used illustrations. Paul used illustrations, Cbrysotom, Augustin, and Luther used illustrations, and so do the great preachers of today. We, too, in our preaching should use illustrations. We should use them as effectively as possible. It is the purpose of this paper to present the principals involved in the effective use of illustrations in Christian preaching and to show how these principles are to be applied.
