The Religious Implications Of Hobhouse's Philosophy, H. Austin Smith

Graduate Thesis Collection

The philosophy of L.T. Hobhouse interested me primarily because it is an attempt at a synthesis of the results of empirical science and of rational thought. The religious aspect of his work, both in his definite criticisms and contributions in the specific field of religion and in the more general implications of his system as a whole, seemed to me worth compiling and examining.

The Development Of The School Teacher Character In The Works Of Leon Frapie, Bernice G. Giltner

Graduate Thesis Collection

One of the distinguishing characteristics of M. Leon Frapie's works is his choice of characters.  They are not chosen from the fashionable, aristocratic or intellectual class, but from among the humblest of the wage-earning class.  M Frapie depicts the drabness, ignorance and poverty which oppress these people, and perceives with his keen sensibilities the commonplace tragedy of their lives and of the lives of their children.  His own emotion becomes the medium by which a bond of sympathy toward them is transferred to the reader.

The History And Method Of The Immanuel Movement And Of Associated Groups, George W. Kehl

Graduate Thesis Collection

My interest in the subject of this thesis dates back ten years to the time when as a College and Theological Seminary Graduate I began to make my first visits to the sick in the congregation of which I had become pastor. Questions began to present themselves because the average sick calling seemed so perfunctory. Was I calling just to bring greetings from the church and to show my own interest? If I had prayer with the person who was sick, what answer should I expect to my prayer? Would or should there be immediate improvement and if not, why …

Graduate Thesis Collection

In twelfth century France, in Troyes, capital of Champagne, was born Chretien, later designated as Chretien de Troyes.  Little is known of his life, but it is supposed that his origins were humble.  Possibly he went to school at Reims, there to receive a clerical education, the best that his times afforded.

The term "Archaelogy," as is so common with the English language, is a two-fold or composite word.  It is a joining of two Greek terms.  The former signifies that which is "ancient," "primeval" or "olden," while the latter is more often used with the Greek meaning of "word," "study" or "discourse."

The Treatment Of The Tristan Legend In English Literature Up To The Twentieth Century, Myrtle M. Johnson

Graduate Thesis Collection

The purpose of the following study has been to consider the consecutive interpretations of the Tristan legend in English literature down to the present century. In order to appreciate their comparative fidelity to the spirit of the lost primitive poem, it was first necessary to examine the metrical romance of Thomas, "who may be said," writes William Henry Schofield, "to represent the highest achievement of any English poet in the twelfth century," along with other derivatives used in the scholarly and poetic reconstruction, made by Joseph Bedier, of that hypothetical original creation.

The Range Cattle Industry In New Mexico, Roy Willoughby

History ETDs

The range cattle industry in the west was the outgrowth of a combination of circumstances that first brought it into existence and then put an end to it forever. Contrasting with the magnitude and permanent effects of the industry was its short duration, a period of little more than two decades.

A Short History Of The Labors And Accomplishments Of The Protestant Missionaries In Hawaii, Margaret Adsit

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

One of the first important efforts at foreign missionary work by American churches was the conversion of the Hawaiian Islands, or Sandwich islands as they were commonly called in the early days of their discovery, the first missionaries to the islands had heard reports from traders and whalers and accounts from native youths as to conditions in the islands, and from these facts they had imagined what would await them upon their arrival. When they arrived at the islands, they found great changes had taken place, such great changes that to the missionaries they could only be explained as "miraculous" …

Hermann Und Dorothea And Luise : A Comparative Analysis, Bettie Louise Kroeck

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Critics have not yet come to an agreement as to how much Goethe took from Voss's Luise for his Hermann und Dorothea: and how much credit we are justified in giving to Goethe's originality for his production. When Hermann und Dorothea first appeared, it was scorned by a great many readers as being a rather poor imitation of Luise. Now it is undoubtedly regarded as the better productions of the two. However many critics still consider it to be an imitation of Voss, although perhaps an improvement. Certainly, Goethe was inspired to the use of the hexameter, in the …

The Influence Of British Literature Upon Pre-Raphaelite Painting, Veola Leona Bohnert

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

It has been the object of the writer, in preparing this thesis, to emphasize the influence of British literature upon the Pre-Rapheelite Brotherhood of painters who lived and worked during the reign of Queen Victoria. It is the hope of the writer to show, in treating these artists who revived the truthfulness of nature as applied to painting, that those who were realists were also idealists, and that those who were romanticists were yet realists in the broader sense of the term, for realism may interpret the larger elements of imagination.

With due recognition of her limited ability, the author …

The Problem Of The Permanent Validity Of The Ethical Teachings Of Jesus Of Nazareth, Dwayne Orton

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The stream of Christianity has never run its course through a generation of believers in which has not been found someone who urged the application of Jesus teachings to the social perplexities of the day. The persistence of this attitude has not, however, been a guarantee of consistency either in the interpretation of the gospel they sought to apply or in the method of application. The approaches to the understanding of the ethic of Jesus have been as many and varied as the problems, the thought, and the radical characteristics of the people who have quenched their thirst with the …

An Analysis Of The Social Philosophies Of Brigham Young And John Calvin: With Special Reference To Their Similarities As They Were Expressed Through The Utah And Geneva Theocracies, Wesley P. Lloyd

Theses and Dissertations

Brigham Young was an American product of the nineteenth century. John Calvin was a European product of the sixteenth century. Each of these men left definite impressions upon world history. Of the two, Calvin is more widely understood and better known, but we should remember that the element of time was in his favor.

An examination of the lives of these two men indicates definite parallels, and their teachings show many views in common. Both were spiritual as well as temporal leaders, and each succeeded in gaining the interest of the world in his particular time. Just as the attention …

Nationalism In Europe, Michael L. Sanfelippo

Wordsworth's God In Nature, Arnold Graham Walter

Bachelors’ Theses

In this thesis on Wordsworth's God in Nature, I have endeavored to show how the poet through communion with Nature in all its forms was brought into closer relation with the Supreme Being. I have not called him a Pantheist and do not think him such in the strict sense of the word. In my opinion he looked upon God as the beneficent Giver of all that is good in Nature. He believed that Nature was man's best teacher, and that through a knowledge of its ways man could not help but be brought to a fuller understanding of the …

A Study Of The Inherent And Environmental Causes Of The Tragedy In Macbeth, Othello, And King Lear, Edna F. Powell

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

So much has been written by scholars for the past three hundred years regarding Shakespeare that is seems almost presumptuous for one to write more on such a subject. Nevertheless, Shakespeare possesses a universal appeal and so occupies the central channel of human life and thought that he is inexhaustible. Students throughout the world have been challenged to endeavor to interpret him. Realizing the necessity for limitation and the utter impossibility of making a large contribution to the wealth of material which already exists, an attempt has merely been made to study the steps in the downfall of the heroes …
