A Critical Study Of Scribal Errors In The Book Of Jeremiah In The Light Of The Septuagint, David C. Pellett

Graduate Thesis Collection

For the sake of a better understanding of the subject for investigation it is necessary to begin with some general remarks regarding "The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah".  In the Hebrew Bible this book bears the simple title "Jeremiah", indicating the subject of the work rather than the author.  As for the author, or rather authors, there are three possibilities: The first possibility is that some, and perhaps most, of the book was written by Baruch at the dictation of Jeremiah.  The second possibility is that parts of the book were written by Jeremiah himself.  The third possibility is that …

The Significance Of The Work Of Colonel Francis Wayland Parker In The Progressive Educational Movement With Special Reference To His Influence On John Dewey, Lea Bevan Moore

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Our American forefathers, with the exception of Thomas Jefferson, had no ideal of a system of universal education. His plans were throttled by slavery, but the doctrine of universal education lived. Then at a time when the whole system of common schools was in danger of failure Horace Mann gave his life to the promotion of the interests of the Common school.

In 1837, the very year Horace Mann gave up his prospect of a famous political career to become Secretary of the State Board of Education in Massachusetts, Francis Wayland Parker was born in New Hampshire, and was destined …

The Importance Of The Study Of Anatomy To The Figure Artist, Dorothy Young

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Anatomy is of little use to the student if he has not grasped how to draw form, but it helps him to invent form. Without an understanding of how to invent, we can only make flat plans of the anatomy inside the outline; but once the drawing of bones and structure has been understood, all the anatomy that the student knows may be to his advantage.

An artist must know as much science as he can use. If he knows more, there is a chance that sciences will use him. It is the structure of the body he must grasp …

In short, with the conventions the big fight was on.

Spain's Problem As Seen By Her Eminent Contemporary Essayists, Nina Porter Fatjo

It is the purpose of this thesis to learn by a study of the works of the leading essayists what each considered the cause of Spain's decadence and what remedy each thought the best medicine for the malady.
