Spiritism, Ralph B. Lenz May 1929

Spiritism, Ralph B. Lenz

Bachelors’ Theses

In the study of modern Spiritism, one is face to face with a huge collection of facts, phenomena, theories, and frauds. To sift the worthwhile grains of truth from this heap is really a difficult task. Countless books and pamphlets there are in existence today that give us all manner of information relative to Spiritism. They contain descriptions and explanations of the various phenomena produced at sceances; they put forth the religious doctrines of the Spiritists; they expose fraudulent practices at tires; and usually they advance a few theories on the subject.

The Use Of The Chemico-Pathology Laboratory In The Dental Clinic, Matilda Mary Steinbrecher Jan 1928

The Use Of The Chemico-Pathology Laboratory In The Dental Clinic, Matilda Mary Steinbrecher

Bachelors’ Theses

The reason why the practice of dentistry is sometimes criticized to-day is because it was separated from the practice of medicine at a time when mouth disorder as a cause of systemic disease was not recognized, and mechanical restoration of teeth was made the foundation of dentistry. The keynote in judging a man's ability was by the expertness of his mechanical skill. This attitude toward dentistry, not only by the medical men but by the laity as well, has been a regrettable weakness in the dental profession. The dentist's work was regarded as entirely mechanical and for the purpose of …

The Ethical Principles Underlying Abortion, Lewis Dominic Thill Jun 1926

The Ethical Principles Underlying Abortion, Lewis Dominic Thill

Bachelors’ Theses

At the present day one quite often hears a discussion of birth-control. And it is interesting to note how varied and shallow are the ethical opinions put forth by those in favor of it. The advocates of abortion seem to have but the vaguest notion of the Natural Law, forgetting that morality is not made in its fundamental principles by personal whim or religious creed, but by the requirements of Divine Order, which must forever prevail. Abortion is practiced in some degree by the laity without the intervention of a physician. Very often, however, it is prescribed by medical men …

The Influence Of Montaigne On English Essay Writers, Howard E. Graham Jun 1925

The Influence Of Montaigne On English Essay Writers, Howard E. Graham

Bachelors’ Theses

It is usually the case that men, who have lived in the past, are remembered down to the present day for one particular reason, and if it were not for this, their names would have long since been forgotten. It is unusual to find a person who is accomplished and excels in several lines of work. It is true that Michael Angelo was a great painter and sculptor, and wrote beautiful sonnets.

The Family. The Evolution Of The Family As Illustrated And Explained By Herbert Spencer Is False, Desmond T. Mccarthy

Bachelors’ Theses

The family is the foundation of society and the state. As such it possesses a prominent position in our sphere of things. The family in a philosophical discussion may be observed from many points of view; ethical, sociological, biological, religious and economical. Each of these views may be equally interesting. They are all important and excellent papers could easily be written on any one of them. By research and investigation into these various topics personal information and interest are increased. In what ever view is taken, it is sometimes difficult to remain in one's own field without transgressing to another …

Phantastes Chapter 16: Life And The Ideal, Friedrich Von Schiller Dec 1794

Phantastes Chapter 16: Life And The Ideal, Friedrich Von Schiller

German Romantic and Other Influences

Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller (1759-1805) was a German writer, primarily known as a dramatist, poet, and literary critic. Das Ideal und das Leben (Life and the Ideal, 1795) is a philosophical poem. The Oxford Reference reports that the poem was “first published in 1795 in No. 9 of Die Horen, with the title ‘Das Reich der Schatten’. Schiller changed this in 1800 to ‘Das Reich der Formen’, and adopted the present title in 1804.” Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873), writer and politician, translated the poem in 1844 as Ideal and Actual Life. Bulwer-Lytton began his novel Paul Clifford …
