The Intellectual And Social Achievements During The Age Of Louis Xiv, William M. Bell

Bachelors’ Theses

History is primarily a cultural study of events, characters and movements that have taken place during the ages. The purpose of this study, however, is not to memorize dates of particular events or characters but to view it with a study from a philosophical view­ point. Various ages are outstanding in European history in which man has been politically, socially, and intellect­ually benefited, therefore we make special mention of the Seventeenth Century in which the Age of Louis XlV is characteristic. Due to the policies of Devine Right advocated by Mazarin and Richelieu, Louis XlV was able to rule as …

A Comparison Of Roman Slavery: As We Find It In The Republic Of The Comic Poets And The Empire, Edward G. Fleisner

Bachelors’ Theses

In exploring human nature as a whole, we are rather surprised to find that despite the centuries which have rolled by, human nature remains quite the same. Evolution­ists may possibly contradict this statement in asserting that the weathering process of the centuries has produced a mellowing effect, and that the world is a much better place to live in now than it had been thirty centuries ago. That may or may not be true, all, of course, depending on the method and terms used in defining progress and uplift. If by progress we mean complicated society and intricate ma­ chines, …

The Ethics Of Jesus And The Plight Of The Coal Miners, James Croswell Perkins

Honors Papers

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the ethics of Jesus and to describe conditions which have resulted from a failure to apply his teachings to an important phase of economic life. No attempt will be made to offer a panacea.

Critical And Literary Principles Of Alexander Pope, Mary Robertine Welsh

Bachelors’ Theses

It is the purpose of this thesis to attempt to show how Alexander Pope through his critical and literary principles put new life and vigor into English verse. He may not be a poet of the first order, as some of his critics would have us believe, but he undoubtedly was exactly the poet his age required. That age needed discipline as a restorative after the anarchy of the previous century, that Pope succeeded in bringing order out of well-nigh chaos even hie enemies concede.

An Evaluation Of The Place Occupied By The Greek Pastoral Elegy From Its Earliest Appearance To The Present, Alfred Carney

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

To the student versed in the classics the influence of Greek and Latin pastoral poetry on English Literature is well known. Starting at the time of the Italian Renaissance and encouraged by the Greek Revival several centuries later, the classical influence has permeated our literature more than any other factor. During the time of the Renaissance pastoral poetry had a place of importance equal to that of the equip and the drama. The sweet melodies of Greek rural life reechoed in the eclogues of Vergil had such a charm for later poets that they could not be resisted. Pastoral poetry …

The Development Of Graphic Art In Missouri, Ruth E. Fults

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

The development of the art of a people is closely inter-woven with the history and society of that group; the histories and societies of communities are very nearly parallel in the steps of human progress - even taking into consideration the complex cumulative character of progress and the subsequent advantages of later civilizations over old; so that, viewed as a whole or in sections, each normal development of art goes through fundamental states true alike in every other normal art-development. Art reflects in its development the society which produces it. For example, the evolution of art in the state of …

Chamber Music As A Factor In Public School Music, Irma Belle Studley

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

We have seen evidences that the financial stress of the moment has somewhat curbed advance in this direction as it has in many other instances, but everyone seems to be looking forward to resuming the practice as soon as possible.

In conclusion let us say that …
