Hebrews- A Rhetorical Study, Walter A. Jennrich

Bachelor of Divinity

The present study treats of the Epistle to the Hebrews almost purely from the point of view of external form and is preliminary to a more general study of the whole subject of style and language in the New Testament. If it presents many matters of detail that are more or less tedious and call for patience one must bear in mind that it is only by the examination of details that one may come to a reasonably safe conclusion about principles. Even a cursory study of the works of literary critics will demonstrate the necessity of the warning that …

El Ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quijote De La Mancha, Dorothy Flammer

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

This book is being edited at the suggestion of colleagues who feel a great need for a Spanish reader with the the following qualifications:

1. A good connected story from Spanish Literature
2. Subject matter suitable for adolescents
3. Sufficiently simple for use in Beginning Spanish

This is an edited version of Part One, and consequently is simplified and cut. Many authorities prefer to wait until students get to college so that they may be introduced to the great masterpiece in its original. In as much as the average high school student does not take more than two years of Spanish, this system …

Report By Hans Schwalm On A Meeting With Sd Literature Advisor Ss-Hauptsturmführer Falk, October 21, 1942, Hans Schwalm

Norwegian Projects

In this document, Hans Schwalm describes a meeting with SS-Hauptsturmführer Falk, literature advisor of the SD. Falk was unable to recommend individuals to collaborate on Ahnenerbe work, but recommended Schwalm reach out to Fin Halvorsen and SS-Obersturmführer Bischof. He described struggling efforts by Gudmud Schnittler to publish a Norwegian lexikon, attributing the failure to anti-German sentiment and refusal to collaborate. He also warns against the circle of people led by Gulbrund Lunde, as they were focused on Norse identity ("norrön") in opposition to a pan-Germanic concept of identity, including efforts to purge German influences from the Norwegian language.

Report From Hans Schwalm On A Meeting With Alfred Huhnhäuser And Forwarded Copy Of Huhnhäuser's Proposal For A Norwegian Research Association, September 17, 1942, Hans Schwalm, Alfred Huhnhäuser

Norwegian Projects

Schwalm reports on a meeting with Dr. Huhnhäuser concerning the Reichskommissariat Science and Education Department, the establishment of a centralized research association in Norway, literature propaganda and future collaboration. He discusses the incorporation of Huhnhäuser into the SS to facilitate future work as well as Huhnhäuser's work to promote German literature, particularly to counteract the literature distributed by German emigrants. The primary focus is on the possibility of creating a centralized research institute through close German-Norwegian collaboration. Schwalm notes that Huhnhäuser's plans fit with the Ahnenerbe goals. The attached paper by Huhnhäuser describes the current situation and the importance of …

Theodore Roosevelt - Preacher Militant His Political Philosophy As Proclaimed In His Speeches, Evelyn Hanshaw

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The age of chivalry with its color and romance is remembered usually as a story-book existence which is pleasant and exciting to read about. Forgotten too often are the ideals and the splendid code of conduct which actuated the heroic deeds. It cannot be said that all knights wore admirable and incorruptible, but out of their period, embodied in its literature, has come to us a way of life. Sir Galahad, St. George, Arthur--whichever one is called to mind-- each want through life fighting relentlessly, sometimes foolishly, but always gloriously against impossible odds as he pursued his ideal. Courageous and …

Tom Plumb, A Novel, Gwendolyn Dimmitt

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

This is a true story, as far as actual dates and the verification of the incidents is concerned. The writer has filled in the conversation and the human interest bits as it seemed the people of that day might have talked or acted. Mr. Plumb is a true character, and the story of his life is given according to the facts as the writer was able to find them. That Mr. Plumb was a typical, and yet individual character, is proved by the fact that one year before his death he was chosen by the Red Willow County, Nebraska, Pioneer …

Positivism In The Works Of George Eliot, Bernice Jones

Graduate Thesis Collection

This paper attempts to find in the facts of George Eliot's life the evidences of positive philosophy, to trace the philosophy to its logical basis and to show its influence on her work. There are many who say such a study is useless or at best unimportant, but I do not agree. I am not attempting to "piece out" an entire philosophy by combining fragmentary allusions I have found in her work. I am not disappointed to find her thought inconsistent, or mixed, or different at one period from another. There is no philosophical system that must not admit ambiguity …

Prototypes Of Meredithian Characters, Esther N. Herseth

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

"If a man's work is to be of value the best of him must be in it," wrote George Meredith to Mrs. J. B. Gilman of Concord, Massachusetts. To this credo he subscribed during this long career as a writer. The rare gifts of a richly endowed nature he brought to his work, for he was a philosopher, a poet, a humorist, and a subtle psychologist. The characters he created in his novels add much to his merit as a writer and it is with the delineation of certain of these characters and their prototypes in actual life, that I …

The Study Of The Apocrypha By The Preacher, H. H. Kumick

Concordia Theological Monthly

Luther had a better appreciation of the apocryphal writings of the Old Testament than the English translation. He carefully translated them and appended them to the Old Testament canon. He did more than that. He recommended these strange and non-inspired books, which have no place in the Old Testament Bible, as "useful reading." To-day these writings have almost come to be regarded as obsolete in our circles. Many of our children have never seen them; we pastors scarcely find time to read them occasionally.

The Pastor And Secular Literature, M. S. Sommer

Concordia Theological Monthly

Give attendance to reading," St. Paul admonished the young clergyman Timothy. And what Timothy was told is to be impressed upon every clergyman: give attendance to reading. When, after the death of Moses, Joshua assumed leadership over Israel. God told him: "This Book of the Law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night.” To one who would lead and teach others God addresses these challenging words: "Thou, therefore, which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself?" Rom. 2, 21.

An Evaluation And Criticism Of Shakespeare's Use Of Historical Materials In A Selected Group Of His History-Dramas (Henry Vi, Parts I, Ii, Iii And Richard Iii), Ivy Oppy

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

This thesis is an examination of the historical accurateness of Shakespeare's Henry VI, and Richard III. Interpretation of established facts plays a great part in the use of historical facts. Shakespeare, in an age of highly developed nationalism, pictures an age in which historically there is no evidence of nationalism.

The Influence Of Spenser's Irish Residence On The Faerie Queene., Ellen Mcdowell Davis

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The departure of Spenser for Ireland in 1580 as secretary to Lord Grey of Wilton, newly appointed Lord Deputy of Ireland, marks a significant point in the poet's career. Save for occasional trips to England, the remaining years of his life Spenser spent in this "salvage land", among a hostile and turbulent people, far from the brilliance of English court life and "Elisa's blessed fields." The appointment to service in Ireland seems to have been a disappointment to the poet who had shortly before thought himself assured of an official career in England under the patronage of Leicester. In October …

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 …

The Skepticism Of Anatole France, Margaret E. Camp

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

When Anatole France died 1n 1924, he had the satisfaction of knowing that he had lived long enough to enjoy the honors which are not usually bestowed upon men until their death. His long life filled with years of labor and earnest endeavor to improve the lives of his fellow-men, through a better adjustment to society, culminated in his election to the French Academy.

By some critics he has been called the greatest writer of today. It is difficult to tell exactly upon what merits this distinction is based. Anatole France was not content to simply call himself a skeptic. …

The Rise Of The Short Story In American Letters, Mary M. Barra

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Like all other nations America too has had her birth in the literally world. Her beginning has not been less forceful than other nations. We find that English literature, undivided in the past, at the end of the nineteenth century has four divisions: British, American, Canadian, and Australian. The British is still the most important since it has the greatest literary background. But the steadily growing American literature ranks second to it. We glory in this heritage as much as the British because we feel that it belongs to us as well, and prize this tremendous possession

Romanticism In The Novels And Legends Of Gertudis Gomez De Avellaneda, Jean W. Mander

Graduate Thesis Collection

Not withstainding the adverse criticism given the prose works of Gertudis Gomez de Avellaneda by such men as Fitzmaurice-Kelly as less notable, I have found her novels and tales to be worthy of consideration. They are extremely romantic, some being full of the fantastic and grotesque, while others are historical similar to those of Sir Walter Scott. These romantic novels have a genuine and natural charm which makes them very pleasing to read. Most of them have been called sentimental tras , but still they contain numerous qualities of romanticism at its best. It will be my duty and pleasure …

Modern Youth And Literature (With Emphasis Upon Creative Education), Ralph Westerman

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In writing a thesis dealing with such an amazingly wide subject as modern youth one is staggered by the quantities of material that one must read. It is true that most of the research work concerning the young American is propaganda of one kind of another: someone must prove that youth is degenerate; or someone must prove that youth is god-like. Between these two extremes much has been written in an attempt to prove that youth is simply youth--little or no different from the youth of any other age. It is all very illuminating and it is all a bit …

Some Of Goethe's Youthful Figures Viewed Today : Einige Von Goethes Jugendlichen Gestalen Heute Betrachtet, Ruth H. Landrum

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Wahrend des Weltkriegen was die allgemeine Gesinnung unneres Landes gegen die Deutschen so feindlich, dass wir sogar nichts mit ihrer Musik, Literature, und "Zultur" zu tun haben wollten. Aber nun herrscht der Friele schon seit einiger Zeit. Unser Unwille ist vorgei; wir sing wieder duldsam und freundschaftlich gegen sie gesinnt und taten also wohl sie ohne Vorurteil zu betrachten. Un die Deutschen der Gegenwart besser zu verstehen, wollen wir Goethe so recht verstehen lernen, weil er noch heute ihr Denken stark beeinfluest.

During the world war the general attitude of our country against the Germans was so hostile that we …
