Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

The Great Awakening In The United States, Richard C. Stuckmeyer

Bachelor of Divinity

In America today, customary usage interprets the term revival as generally applying to special religious services, protracted for a term of days or weeks, in which unusual efforts are put forth to reach the unconverted for the purpose of bringing them to repentance and winning them to lives of Christian faith and service. It is in this regard also that the Great Awakening has been termed a revival, for it extended over a period of years wherein special emphasis was put on emotional preaching for the purpose of arousing people to a rebirth of religious life. This fact will be …

Immortality In Cicero, Kathryn Collins

Bachelors’ Theses

It is the purpose of this thesis to show that Cicero had a carefully developed belief in immortality. Since there is little opportunity in constructing a thesis of this kind to set forth any new or startling data concerning the subject, there is left to the writer only the originality of thought and presentation. So much commentary has been written on Cicero that it would be impossible to contact all of it . It may be said, however , that since Cicero has been known throughout the ages mostly as an orator and statesman, less has been written concerning his …

John Jacob Astor In Oregon, Linus A. Zadra

Bachelors’ Theses

The United States was yet a comparatively young nation in 1800. Although victorious in the war for independence, and although formally recognized ln the Treaty of Paris (1783), yet England did not treat her former colonies as a separate nation for her troops still occupied the American frontier posts at Mackinaw, Niagra, Detroit, and Oswego. The war, moreover, put a heavy burden of debt upon the United States. The country was on the verge of bankruptcy. Each colony floated its own issue of worthless paper money. There was little activity under these conditions along the frontier; hence, we find very …

The Relation Of Horace To Augustus, Harry Stanley Perla

Bachelors’ Theses

The topic of this thesis was selected after reading various criticisms of Augustus as written by authors of the last decade. Though not treated as comprehensively as other phases of Horace's life, this topic nevertheless is another method of studying and criticizing Horace. The relation of Horace to Augustus is illustrated in the very writings of Horace and therefore the topic has a close connection with the writings of the poet. Because of this connection, and because of its interest, this topic was chosen.

The History Of The Jews, Hyman Popuch

Bachelors’ Theses

As a matter of fact, the history of the Jews for the past 2600 years has been the history of Judah; i.e., of the people who inhabited Southern Palestine. For the most part, they are all descendants either of the tribe of Judah or of the "Kohanim" and "Leviim", the priestly families that resided in Judah. From the very beginning this name had a religious connotation. It is interpreted as "Praising the Lord." Hence the name "Yehudi" or "Jew" accurately describes their origin. When we speak of their role in history, it is largely the records of the descendants of …

The Contributions Of David Belasco To The Theatre, Betti Murphy Bergs

Bachelors’ Theses

A thesis treating of David Belasco must, of necessity, be built around his realism in his productions. However, so many authors have spoken of him from only that angle, that it would be futile and absurd to devote more time and writing to it. Therefore this thesis shall touch upon his realism only insofar as it is concerned with the subject on hand.

The purpose of this thesis shall be to present a survey of David Belasco and his productions in New York. Obviously a background for his theatrical pursuits must be given.

The Inca Of Peru: The Spanish Influence, Irving John Fischer

Bachelors’ Theses

In the course of the centuries there have been many atrocities that stand for a mile posts along the road of history. One of these surely is the robbery by which great wealth of gold was taken by the buccaneers of Spain from the Indian civilizations of Mexico and Peru. How these briggands sacked the homes, plundered the villages is common knowledge even to the child of the primary school. The ransom of Atahuallpa, a room full of gold, is as well known to him as are his children stories. But what even the adult of today fails to see …

Seven Wonders Of The Ancient World, Monica O. Healy

Bachelors’ Theses

The Orient offers many quaint and mystifying spectacles of which few people are fully aware. To a reader and would - be student of history the Ancient World appears to be a myth.

Modern man in selecting subjects that will be marveled at through the ages rarely realizes that the ancients, considered to be less intelligent and uncultured than him­ self, erected temples far superior to even the most magnifi­cent cathedral, created art that has to this time been unequaled and buried their dead in even greater splendoe than our millionaires of today could afford.

The selection of the Seven …

The Prototypes Of Some Characters In Certain Novels Of George Meredith, Harry Josep Hayes

Bachelors’ Theses

It has been the aim of the author in the course of this treatise on some of the characters in the novels of George Meredith to bring out more clearly the relationship between some of those characters and the friends and contemporaries of the author's. The method used was an analysis of the novels written by the author and a study of the comments and criticism which fellow writers and modern commentaries have added. Besides this, it was necessary to trace the history of the author, that is; his life, and his friendships. In the manner the task has fallen …

The Catacombs, Joseph Paul Listwan

Bachelors’ Theses

One of the most interesting and fascinating studies in the history of mankind is that concerning catacombs. The city of the dead, usually known as the Catacombs of Rome, is a strange and alluring place to modern travelers and to modern historians. Full appreciation and comprehension of the catacombs can only result after a thorough study of the description, meaning, history, and purpose of the catacombs. Outstanding in this study is the fact that the catacombs are among the most noteworthy of the Christian antiquities of Rome. It is beneath the suburbs of Rome, with their endless streets of tombs, …

The boy was of pure Alsatian French parents, the girl was of French and Indian extraction. The boy was reared in a home of refinement and culture, the girl grew to womanhood amidst the primitive surroundings of the frontier. Fate decreed they should meet.

The American Short Story From 1865 To 1900, Wendel W. Crosby

Bachelors’ Theses

Toe purpose of this thesis is to trace the development of the .American short story from about 1865 to about 1900. I propose to do this by dividing the material studied into four periods and then to weigh, examine, and compare the chief exponents of the American short story during each period. The divisions are: The Period Following the Civil War, of which I shall consider the stories of Bret Hart, Aldrich, Twain and James; The Era of Localized Romance, of which the stories of Cable and Jewett will be considered; The Reign of Dialect, dominated by Murfree. Harris and …

The Diety Of Christ In The Epistle To The Hebrews, Martin Scharlemann

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this thesis shall, therefore, be a twofold one: first, to demonstrate that the Epistle to the Hebrews does teach the Deity of Christ (matter); and, secondly, to show how this truth is taught (manner). That purpose will be executed in a combination of dogmatical and exegetical methods. Exegesis, must furnish the content; Dogmatics the outline. No improvement can be made upon the conventional dogmatical contention that the Deity of Christ is demonstrable from the fact that (1) divine names are applied to Him, that (2) divine attributes are ascribed to Him, that (3) divine works are attributed …

The Negro Problem In The South, Sidney T. Matthews Jr

Honors Theses

Among the chief problems which vexed the country for the last century and threaten to give yet more trouble in the future, is what is usually termed "The Negro Questions." To the south, it has been for nearly seventy years the chief public question, overshadowing all others, and withdrawing her from due participation in the direction and benefit of the National Government. It has kept alive section feeling, has inflamed partisanship, distorted party policies, barred complete reconciliation, cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and hundreds if not thousands of lives, and stands ever ready, like Banquo's ghost, to burst forth …

The Prophets Of The New Testament Church, Gerhardt C. Asmus

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this study, therefore, is to find out as much as possible about the prophets of the New Testament Church, to find out who they were, where they were found, and what was their function, and what was their influence in the early Christian Church. The study is so organized as to give the reader a brief overview of the prophetic institution prior to the time of the New Testament Church first, as this will lend to a better understanding of those chapters which speak of the New Testament prophets themselves. Whenever Scripture is quoted, the Authorized Version …

Antecedents Of The Common Order Of Service, Daniel E. Poellot

Bachelor of Divinity

I have restricted the scope of this treatise to the developments of that part of our Common Service which is commonly known as the Service of the Word, in the Ancient, Medieval, and Reformation Periods, beginning with the Scriptural sources of those rubrics, and ending with illustrations of practices as given in the Lutheran Kirchenordnungen of the 16th century. Later references are more incidental. Furthermore, the ceremonial of the Common Service also lies beyond the scope of this essay, as also the hymnology of the Lutheran Church is a field for itself.

The Concept Of Hope In The New Testament, Oswald W. Mieger

Bachelor of Divinity

We have prefixed this beautiful expression of the Christian’s Hope in full because it delineates the one point which we wish to emphasize in this thesis, namely, that the hope which is truly Christian rests solely upon Christ, and in particular upon the merits of His glorious resurrection from the dead, by virtue of which our hope is of inestimable value and worth. It is a fitting forethought for our consideration of the CONCEPT OF HOPE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.

The Musical Rendition Of The Psalms In The First Temple, Lawson Fackler Knight

Bachelor of Divinity

The song of the congregation is a devotional form of musical art. The singing, to be sure, is not that of mechanical perfection; there is not to be found the delicate nuances of the artist; but when the entire congregation lifts its heart and voice in the praise and adoration of almighty God, the loving Father, there is a spiritual quality in the music that makes the hymns a magnificent setting for the preaching of God's word. The hymns build up to the climax of the sermon; they frame the sermon in beauty. The singing of hymns is an important …

The World Economic Scene In Perspective, Harold Hutcheson

Honors Theses

The greatest problem facing the world today is that of attaining a proper distribution of productive power, both within nations as well as between them. It is one that has been with us for the past sixty or so years; and our inability to arrive at a proper solution to it bas already involved us in one momentous war, and threatens to do so again. Knowledge of past economy development reveals this; a close examination of our present economic impasse substantiates it.
