The Development Of The Historical Novel In Spain, Genevieve O'Leary

Bachelors’ Theses

The historical novel which may be found among the literary works of almost every land was an offshoot of that cosmopolitan wave coming in the middle of the eighteenth century, known as Romanticism. In the main this new trend emphasized the supremacy of the emotions over the intellect, ·a naturalness foreign to the prevailing classic literature.

The Short Story Technique Of Wilbur Daniel Steele, Grace Mcmahan Rogers

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

The juggernaut of Industrialism is running amok in America today – and its blind, crazed devotees are being crushed amid the clamor and the noise, the abandoned irresponsibility of a barbaric festival. Industrialism is affecting all literature, but the short story, is chiefly threatened. The magazine is its forum, and the magazine must make money or suspend. The commercialized short-story is a mirror of the times – it takes in all movements. The American short-stories form a composite picture of life in the United States. The typical short story in the past quarter-century, and particularly since the World War, as …

William Of Occam, Armin W. Born

Bachelor of Divinity

It is now that the second period of the Middle Ages sets in. It is known as the "Age of Revival." "The Age of Revival begins with the opening of the eleventh century and ends with the discovery of the New World. During all this time civilization was making slow but sure advances; social order was gradually triumphing over feudal anarchy, and governments were becoming more regular. The last part of the period especially was marked by a great intellectual revival, a movement known as the Renaissance, or ‘New Birth', by improvements, inventions, and discoveries which greatly stirred men's minds …

Church And State, John F. Gaertner

Bachelor of Divinity

The problem of Church and State is one which is entirely Christian, though in its practical applications it also concerns others. The very nature of the case is one which presupposes the side by side existence of both institutions. It was only when Christ came and established the Church in the world and still said, “My kingdom is not of the world," (John 18 , 36) , that the problem of the relation the one bears to the other first arose .

The Federated Jewish Charities Of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Goldie Gorenstein

Bachelors’ Theses

The Federated Jewish Charities of Milwaukee is the administering head of all the Jewish Charity Organizations of this city, with the exception of the Orthodox charities. The former, however, contributes to the support of the latter. The material used for the compilation of this thesis was, for the most part, a small pamphlet called THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERATED CHARITIES OF MILWAUKEE, for the years 1912 to 1930, and talks given by the directors of the several organizations.

The Last Years Of St. Paul, Valentine Eichenlaub

Bachelor of Divinity

The Book of Acts ends with the statement that "Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him". The inspired writer does not tell us what took place after that. Hence we ask, did the period terminate with the Apostle's condemnation and death or with his acquittal and liberation? Naturally we have no absolute proof for either contention.

Education, Psychology, And Religion As Factors In Creating Happiness Among The Deaf, O C. Schroeder

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of the study of aids to happiness among the deaf is to portray spiritual blessings rather than to evaluate the benefits of education and material success. To a large extent this treatise is narrative and descriptive. Our interest, however is not in narration and description per se, but only as they portray the causes of, and the means to, the promotion of happiness among the deaf.

Thou Art Peter, Reinold Waldemar Janetzke

Bachelor of Divinity

TU ES PETRUS ET SUPER HANC PETRAM AEDIFICABO ECCLESIAM MEAM," Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church". These words, written in gigantic letters of gold, appear around the beautiful dome of St. Peters in Rome which the genius of Michelangelo erected above the dust of a Galilaean fisherman. As the Church of St. Peter in Rome, the grandest and most eminent basilica in the world, triumphantly rises above the grave of this Galilaean fisherman, just so does the ecclesiastical system of Roman Catholicism find its foundation upon the confession of this Apostle and upon the …

The Morality Of The Book Of Judges, Otto F. Stahlke

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this paper is not to establish the moral standard obtaining in this period of disorder, as though the standard of Jehovah were inferior to that of a later day, in that the deeds of God's specially chosen deliverers, were to be an example to His people also morally, thereby making the standard. An objective examination of this morality would prove it the same as the Biblical morality of any other age; but that lies beyond our discussion. Again the purpose is not to prove that the Judges or God's people did nothing contrary to the moral law …

An Evaluation Of Critical Opinions Concerning Time, Place, And Readers Of Ephesians, Martin W. Mueller

Bachelor of Divinity

Especially in the last few years there has been much discussion on the Time and Place of the Composition of Ephesians. Closely connected with this is the question: To whom was the Epistle addressed? The determining of these two factors plays a large part in the establishing of the authenticity of Ephesians. Hence, this treatise offers: "An Evaluation of Critical Opinions concerning Time, and Place, and Readers of Ephesians," in the hope that it may to some small degree serve this end.

A History Of The Evangelical Lutheran (Missouri Synod) Mission For China, Edward H. Arndt

Bachelor of Divinity

In writing this paper, I hope to have contributed something quite new to the history of Lutheran Foreign Missions. To my knowledge, no one has written on this phase of the work before.

Although our China Mission is still young, it is high time that its history be written. While the Mission was founded only 20 years ago, the writer has experienced much difficulty in obtaining reliable information on several points.

Saving Faith In The Old Testament, Frederick L. Miller

Bachelor of Divinity

Since faith in Christ is absolutely indispensable for salvation; and since by faith in Christ the people of the O. T., like those of the N.T., must have been saved, since there is salvation in no other name (Acts 2, 42): we must be able to find this faith expressed or implied in the O.T. There is sufficient testimony in the N.T. for this faith of the people of the Old Covenant, and so for Christians our problem is no problem; but when we deal with Jews, and when we consider the matter historically, we are thrown upon the O.T. …

The Roman Catacombs, Conrad A.E. Saskowski

Bachelors’ Theses

One day in May 15-78, some laborers digging in the "pozzolano" on the Via Salerna two miles from the wall of Rome, went at their work so industriously as to fall into the Galleries that were banked with graves. Great as the astonishment of the age to find the existence of a city of the dead beneath the suburbs of Rome, and many were the people who flocked to see it. Since the tenth century the Catacombs had lain forsaken and forgotten but from this time on they were the most interesting curiosity in Italy.

The Goodwill Industries Of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Mildred H. Zubrensky

Bachelors’ Theses

The material upon which the thesis is written was obtained from pamphlets, and visits to the Goodwill Plant.

The Life Of L. Annaeus Seneca, And His Philosophy As It Is Presented In The Epistulae Morales, Marguerite E. Riedl

Bachelors’ Theses

In view of the great number of books and articles that have been written about Seneca, it would seem at first thought somewhat presumptuous for us to add another to the list. But even a fairly extensive bibliographical search reveals the interesting fact that although the books on the Stoics in general — in which Seneca’s name is almost never forgotten to be mentioned — and the books on Seneca as a tragedian or as an influence on succeeding literature are very numerous, the works that treat of him as a philosopher are very few. Nevertheless, his philosophical works are …

The Definition Of The Idea -- John Locke, John H. Murphy

Bachelors’ Theses

The mere definition of an idea may not seem to have much bearing upon a system of philosophy. On the surface it may not appear as though it acts as a pivot upon which an epistemological theory revolves. Yet we cannot read any of the works of the English School and not see that is actually the case. Descartes, who was not of the English School, but who through his work supplied enough controversy to give rise to the School, formulated a theory of innate ideas; he used doubt as a method with the intention of doubting everything until he …

The Treatment Of Joan Of Arc In English Literature, Catherine J. Steffan

Bachelors’ Theses

The author has endeavored, in this thesis, to give a brief sketch of the life of that heroic figure of French history, Joan of Arc, and to describe and distinguish her character as portrayed in certain writings of Shakespeare, Thomas De Quincey, Mark Twain, Bernard Shaw and Hilaire Belloc.

A Critical Study Of The Outstanding Works Of Ricarda Huch The Romanticist, Emily Louise Schmit

Bachelors’ Theses

Ricarda Huch cannot be called a poet of the people. Her writings are too individual., too philosophical and psychological to be appreciated by the masses. But among those readers who, like her, are imbued with romantic ideals, who feel the urge for self-expression, who have a natural appreciation for genuine lyric poetry, who love indulgence in dreamy fancies, philosophical reflection and sudden, quick changes of mood - among these she has won a reputation which places her among the foremost Romanticists of the later school.

The Radio In Music Education, Adaline E. Wilk

Bachelors’ Theses

Up to the present the music of the world, in its completences, has been the private preserve of a little band of people who happened to live in the places where it could be heard, and who happened to have money enough to pay to hear it. Henceforth, it belongs to everybody. This means an immense widening of public interest in music, and I believe, a great raise of public taste. In five years' time, in my expectation, the general musical public of Europe and America will be treble or quadruple its present size. And the next generation instead of …

The English Inn And Tavern In The Lives And Works Of English Poets From Chaucer To Shakespeare, Hugo C. Schwartz

Bachelors’ Theses

This paper is an attempt to show the part or the inn and tavern in the lives of the early English writers, and the influence it had on their work. The English inn has a romantic interest to readers of English literature, chiefly the result of rhapsodic verse about the Mermaid, the Apollo Club, and other similar places, written by the poets of the time and many others since. The effect has been to cast a romantic glow over the inn which yet glimmers over the remains of that institution to-day.

Evolution And Development Of The Sentimental Comedy, Mary Mina

Bachelors’ Theses

The writer has purposed in this essay to trace the rise, development, arid evolution of the comedy. of sensibility, from about the year 1700 to 1177. The movement was one, intricated with not a few interwoven trends. The fusion of sentimentalism into the comedy through social, moral, philosophic, literary, and historical factors has, in part, accounted for the intricacy of the genre, known as the comedy of sensibility. Few authors have considered it worth while to devote much time to the amassed dramatic productions of the eighteenth century. Thus, the complexity ·of the problem is increased.

The Villan - Hero In Elizabethan Drama, Wilmer G. Traxel

Bachelors’ Theses

An imposing and tremendous number of books have been written to criticize some phase or other of that variegated mass of plays, loosely termed Elizabethan drama, written between the coronation of Elizabeth in 1558 and the restoration of Charles II in 1660; This thesis deals with a definite series of tragedies produced in that period, all well known and discussed, yet possessing a peculiar characteristic which has to a great extent escaped the searching eye of the critics, a character-type which exerts an interesting influence upon dramatic construction and upon tragic emotion.

Cicero On The Immortality Of The Human Soul, Frank Lemanowicz

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this thesis will be to demonstrate a non¬ Christians observations and conclusions concerning the immortality of the human soul. Cicero, the famed Roman philosopher, and statesman, is the man whose ideas concerning the immortality of the soul we will attempt to examine.

In this day and generation when diverse theories and hypotheses are prevalent concerning the soul’s immortality, we will attempt to see whether Cicero contributed anything of real value to the philosophy of his era and our time in regard to the immortality of the human soul.

In our discussion we will then consider Cicero's personal …

A Survey Of The Makeup And Typography Of Selected Wisconsin Weekly Newspapers, Rolland F. Smith

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to study the style of makeup and typography in the country weekly in order to arrive at certain conclusions, namely: (1) Do the newspapers follow a definite style of makeup or is it a merely nit-or-miss process, (2) Is the typography attractive and easy to read, (3) Does the makeup and typography give evidence that the paper is operated by a printer instead of editorially trained, (4) Is there a field for the graduate journalist in the weekly field.
