Paul
Religion
The study of the New Testament properly begins with Paul, since the earliest documents of the New Testament are from his hand. In this, my first serious attempt to make a study of one aspect of the theology of the New Testament, I have thus chosen to begin with Paul. I have tried to choose a topic which would allow me to study Paul's theology as a whole, but which would permit me to approach it from a viewpoint not already overused.

The parables of Jesus have been interpreted in many ways and by many different methods in the history of the Christian community. Biblical scholars have wrestled with their interpretations throughout the centuries, and in the last five centuries increasing numbers of lay persons have had more direct access to further biblical study. Even more recently, liberation movements throughout the world--and especially in Latin America--have engaged the "common people,"
(peasants and campesinos), many of whom are illiterate, in biblical study.

covered bridges
History
Today, covered wooden highway bridges stand as a reminder of a bygone era in American history. When traveling the lesser known roads of Indiana one may encounter just such a monument to the past. Too many times these historical artifacts are marred by the ravages of time and the destructiveness of vandalism. Yet many of the few remaining structures are now being preserved as historical landmarks by such organizations as local covered bridge societies and various parks departments. Although it is costly to keep these bridges in sound structural condition, it is indeed worthwhile to attempt this preservation of American history in order that we may view firsthand their design and utility. This will lead us to an understanding and appreciation of the bridge builders of Indiana in their successful efforts to cause form to follow function in overcoming the topographical adversities of the natural landscape. Within the following pages, the reader will find the history of covered bridges in Indiana, what the bridges are constructed of and why. Various types of covered bridge structures are examined as there are many diversified styles. Also, this paper looks at the bridge builders from Indiana and the surrounding areas. Finally, this paper
examines what is being done today to preserve
these historical artifacts.

Rose Macaulay: Satirist

Master of Arts (MA)
English
satire
Dame Rose Macaulay
English Language and Literature
Dame Rose Macaulay possessed two qualities, a comic spirit
and an intellectual pessimism, which made her one of England's finest
modern satirists. Her satire has limitations. First, because of
rapid and rather prolific productivity, some of the satire is
repetitious. Second, the reader who enjoys satire is already aware
of many of the flaws and incongruities of society. He has probably
ridiculed them himself, so he may not find the satire as fresh and
original as the author hoped it would be. Much of Miss Macaulay's
satire is delightful and keen but occasionally she stoops to the
trivial. In spite of these shortcomings and the fact that sometimes
the humor seems so broad as to be almost forced, the presence of the
comic spirit and the intellectual pessimism--her insight into both
the comedy and the tragedy of life--gives much of her satire great
appeal and universality.

The Changing Attitudes Toward Consonance and Dissonance In Various Historical Periods

Music
Music
<p>The problem of consonance and dissonance has intrigued and baffled theorists since the days of Pythagoras. There are many aspects of the problem which have never been satisfactorily explained. All are agreed, however, that consonances are those relations of pitch which can be expressed in small numbers. Why this should be so, no one has been able to decide definitely, at least up until Helmholtz wrote his Sensations of Tone. It is also self-evident that consonance is a restful and dissonance a restless sound, that dissonance demands resolution into consonance and that the two are necessary to each other, in order that music may retain the variety and movement which makes it a vital art.</p>

It is the thesis of this paper that there have been certain situations when historical research had an important bearing on the choices statesmen made and the policies they pursued. This will be illustrated by focusing on a group of historians known as revisionists and analyzing the impact of their work on one particular event, Britain's reaction to the re-militarization of the Rhineland.

This paper will fill in the gaps in the current criticism regarding Toni Morrison's use of flight imagery and will also introduce a parallel line of criticism regarding Morrison's narrative focus on hands and hand gestures, an important and overlapping phenomenon in her novels. This phenomenon serves to elucidate Morrison's larger ideological project, in which she points out the core of one's life is creativity. Flight imagery and hand gestures work together to show a progression in Morrison's novels; thus, they must be considered together in order to completely comprehend characters and their actions as Morrison had intended.

The Ku Klux Klan during the 1920's attained a high level of influence though not outright control in the political and social affairs of Indiana. The Klan with its nativist vision of American life regarded with hostility the deviant values represented by Negroes, Jews, Roman Catholics, and aliens. The irony of the rise of this movement in Indiana was that the population of these minorities was proportionally lower in the Hoosier state than in most other states.

Therefore, our procedure will be to examine the various Pauline writings to determine Paul's advocacy of grace and the implications of this in three areas. We will introduce our study with an examination of the background for the problem of Jewish legalism in the early church. This will include a brief appraisal of the constituency of the early church, expansion to the Gentiles, Paul's missionary labors and resultant opposition from the Judaistic party, and a brief preliminary view of Paul's effort to deal with this problem.

Four composers have been chosen for this study. They were the leaders of four successive generations of composers influential in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Their masses were written between the years 1420 A.D. and 1560 A.D. Many significant changes took place during this period of one hundred forty years. Older compositional techniques such as the use of formes fixes and isorhythm all but disappeared. Cantus firmus technique was transformed and extended to unify the mass cycle. Aesthetic considerations became more important to the composer than liturgical canons, and composers began to regard themselves as artistic creators not mere servants to the Church. The rise of humanism placed man at the center of his music, making it more expressive and personal then ever before.

Broadcast and Video Studies
The economic viability of the three original U. S . television networks, ABC, CBS, and NBC, is threatened by emerging competition, excessive regulation, and the proliferation of new broadcasting and telecommunications technologies. This is a significant problem because United States viewers have depended upon free, diverse, broadcast television programming for more than forty years. This programming has traditionally been provided to viewers at no charge, unlike costly pay-per-view, direct broadcast satellite systems, cable television, backyard or rooftop television satellite receiving dishes, video programming via the Regional Bell Operating Companies (video Dialtone), wide and local area computer networks, or the Internet. Each network's survival depends upon its strategies in the areas of new technologies and political action with regard to regulation. Moreover, the three original networks are healthier than they may appear because the financial takeovers that occurred in 1985-1986 provided each with financial strength and strong corporate leadership.

The primary purpose of this study was to analyze the recent racial desegregation trends in the school cityJ of Indianapolis, Indiana, particUlarly with respect to pupil personnel, teacher personnel, and school administration policies. Such an analysis would be incomplete, however, without a prefatory, updated history of events that made up "The Indianapolis Story II of desegregation in its public schools. A still third concern of this study was a survey of major legal developments pertaining to school desegregation procedures elsewhere in the nation. These developments have set the national climate in which trends might be further predicted and in which future Indianapolis school policies might be made.

Greensburg High School has been and is highly regarded by the residents of Decatur County as shown by various newspaper reports, personal interviews, and school records. Its scholastic standards, its curriculum, its administrative personnel, and its student body unite in striving to build an institution that will raise the social and economic conditions of the community.
There are but few residents who remember the early days of the school, but on their part there is a feeling of gratitude and appreciation for those early leaders of education in this community who had the foresight to see the importance of higher education and the strength to see that the school was instituted

I have long been interested in Paul's writings, his various doctrinal viewpoints, and the manner in which he dealt with problems as they developed during his ministry. Certainly, the Corinthian Churoh had its problems, and they were eerious problems. Not the least of these was the matter of a faotious spirit whioh seemed to prevail among the members and whioh was keeping the oongregation from full effectiveness in its witness and work for Jesus Christ.
What were the background oonditions out of whioh this Corinthian Churoh oame forth? What types of people comprised this congregation? How and why did these various problems develop? What did Paul do to meet the need? What was his answer to the problems? What does all of this say to us today? These are but a few of the questions with which I am concerned and with whioh I shall deal in this study.

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 to bring out these characteristios as Avellaneda portrayed them and thus prove that there is something more to her novels and tales than most critics believe.

Indiana's Civil Rights Commission evolved from the need to combat the often subtle racial injustices that permeated Hoosier society in the late 1950s and 1960s. A tradition of segregation along racial lines in Indiana was being challenged in the early 1960s by newly elected leaders who believed that their fellow black Hoosiers deserved to be treated fairly under the laws that were designed to protect their citizenship. For that reasonr Indiana's new leaders chose to create a state government agency based on the federal model for a civil rights commission.
With the formation of the Indiana Civil Rights Commission [ICRC] in 1961 and throughout its first four years of operation, Governor Matthew Welsh, a handful of Indiana's legislative members, the Civil Rights Commissioners and the ICRC direCtor, Harold Hatcher, were continuously at odds with a large faction of racist white Hoosier society. The Commission was a threat to the sacred traditions of segregation upheld by many Hoosiers throughout the state. Therefore, Indiana's General Assembly moved slowly and cautiously to empower the Commission. Once the Commission became empowered, however, as I will show it held its ground, performed its functions, and strove endlessly to destroy the patterns of discrimination in Indiana, often without success.

Dependency
Latin American History
William Walker's expedition should be a fertile source of examples of such incipient dependency. This is because that expedition was grounded in the political desires of Manifest Destiny and the pragmatic economics of a cross-isthmus connection between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans during the crucial years just before the U.S. Civil war. Walker's actions caused a war in Central America, brought the United States and England to the brink of war, effected a significant economic relationship, and influenced diplomatic relations between Nicaragua and the U.S. for years afterward. Because of these various actions and reactions, this episode in inter-American relations provides instances of many of the basic elements of the putative dependency relationships alluded to above. There were governments seeking economic advantage, businessmen seeking profitable investments, trade treaties negotiated, and military force used. It was a brief and intense period when economic interests were ultimately controlled by policy decisions.

<p>This composition for Wind Ensemble (like Concert Band but usually only one player on a part) was Scott Master's Thesis for completing a Master of Music degree in Composition at Butler University. Written in 2010, the piece is a combination of styles, philosophies, and techniques, all in balance with each other. Avant-garde and traditional techniques are used; tonality and atonality vie with each other, resulting in a combination of the two; specific musical directions are balanced by a degree of choice available to each participant.</p>
<p>“The Memory of Persistence” is about a journey. No specific personal story is presented, nor is the piece programmatic, but the progress and development of the piece could mirror many life situations and be accessible to anyone from that point of view. There is a progression from simple to complex, from innocence to maturity, that is demonstrated in the instrumentation as well as the melodic and harmonic elements.</p>
<p>The title of the composition is an allusion to Salvador Dali’s painting called “The Persistence of Memory.” Even the font of the score’s title page is based on Dali’s own handwriting. Dali was a major player in the Surrealism movement of the twentieth century, combining classical elements of art with unusual, surprising, or even outrageous twists. “The Memory of Persistence” does the same thing in a musical setting. Yet, even without knowledge of Dali, the listener can understand the title because the piece demonstrates persistence through difficulty while retaining the memory of the past and incorporating it into current life.</p>

Pratt opens his work on The Psychology of Religious Beliefs by saying, "that if an atheistic inhabitent of Mars were to visit this planet, greater than the wonder of steam and electricity, would be the fact that we believe in a God whom we have never seen and cannot see". This universal belief in God is a striking thing and the question at once forces itself upon us, why do men believe as they do and what are the psychological bases underlying that belief?

The religions of China and the works of Protestantism have been written by many scholars both American and European but most of them were incomplete in mind or written with a special interest of a certain denomination. The aim of this thesis is to present (1) the religious conditions of China before the entrance of Protestantism (2) the historical facts of Protestantism and (3) the present condition of the Chinese Christianity. Special attention will be given to the beginning, the growth, the persecution and some characteristic facts of Protestantism. The materials are almost all mined out of the Chinese records but they have been carefully compared with English writings. It is written without the idea of criticism or the feeling of prejudice. Some critical facts in it are taken from English books.

At first sight the problem of the sources of Buddhism seems to require merely a study of the life and teachings of Gotama. or Sakyamuni, the "Buddha" or "enlightsned one." The existence even of such a person has been questioned, however. Many scholars question his importance in the development of Buddhism, and even in the field of his life and career there is a great variety in the theories which have been seriously held by western scholars. It is the purpose of this thesis to study these problems and to arrive at the true solution of the sources of Buddhism.

Historical events are very likely to make impressions upon contemporary writers of their history quite different from those upon the historians of later times. The intervening years are essential for the proper perspective, the appreciation of their significance, and the separation of associated events. A more accurate view of any historical event should come to those whom time has carried beyond it. In case the event be the result of governmental policies, political bias will then be less influential. The original researches and secondary complications of later writers of American history have resulted in a much better understanding of the true significance of that history, and in their drawing conclusions regarding many of its great events far different from those presented by earlier writers.

It is not easy to define the limits of secondary education. Each person has periods in which he can receive education. The middle period of this time can be called the period for secondary education. Looking at it from the stand-point of society, the government has established a school system for the education of its people which can be called secondary education. With the individual the maximum period of receiving education is from six to twenty-four years of age. The period from twelve to eighteen is the suitable period to term the central part or the period of secondary education. Secondary education constitutes the center of any educational system. In the school of all modern nations the central portion is called secondary schools. Although the limits of the period vary slightly, yet in general they correspond. Now that we have defined secondary education it is well to see what the school laws say about secondary education.

The Indiana Department of Commerce and Public Relations does sell the State to residents and non-residents. This "selling," however, bears practically no resemblance to the antics of super high-powered press-agentry often commonly associated with anything having to do with the relatively new field of public relations. Moreover, this selling has two very definite aspects: seeing to it that Hoosiers become better boosters for their State by acquainting them with the interesting facts and assests of Indiana, and by presenting the opportunities and advantages of the State in such manner that its economic wealth will be increased through the attraction of new industries and tourist business.

During the last half century, there have been many surveys of city school systems. These surveys have been general; they have compared an entire school system with another of similar size. This thesis is also a compartive study of a school system but it compares the costs and enrollment in the four high schools of a single city. The aim of this thesis is then, (1) to compare the enrollment and costs of a single subject in the four high schools and (2) to compare the enrollment and costs of the various subjects in one school.

In his annual message to Congress in December 1887, President Grover Cleveland disregarded an heretofore set custom and established a precedent by devoting his whole attention to one question alone - that of the tariff. Pointing out the dangers of retaining a surplus in the Treasury, he stated that he favored a decrease in import duties as a means of reducing the accumulated surplus. The support accorded President Cleveland by the Democratic House, in framing the Mills Bill, and by the Democratic National Convention indicated the willingness of the Democrats to make the tariff the major issue of the ensuing campaign. That the Republicans were not averse to accepting the challenge is shown by the readiness with which they seized upon the issue. The gauntlet thrown down by President Cleveland was taken up by James C. Blaine, who in a London interview on the day after the delivery of the message, replied to the President's arguments in a manner that left no uncertainty as to his position. Following Blaine's pronouncement, no doubt existed as to the subject around which the campaign would be waged.

Whenever people in America and elsewhere outside of India hear anything about the Indian caste system, they show a great contempt, even to disgust, in their attitude towards this ancient institution which has been instrumental, to a very large degree in moulding the destinies of India up to this day. To a casual observer this institution is but "a monster custom" (Low, S., Vision of India, p. 260) which saps the character of people leaving them degenerate in their own group and degraded in the modern world. He condemns it from every angle, scorns and abhors those who follow it, and often is very intolerant.

There are various conceptions of nationalism, but the one which is incorporated here is that which has to do with a national consciousness, a feeling of unity among those inhabiting the same country. For the most part it is political unity which is meant, though this has been attended by an increasing emphasis upon unity of Indian language, customs, and manners. It must be acknowledged that there is a bond of unity in the historic traditions of the centuries of culture and in the religious myths which are immortalized in the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, but this is hardly sufficient.

In 1898 the Disciples of Christ took over the Equator station of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Union at Bolenge. From that time this mission has enjoyed a steady growth, both in missionary personnel and its influence on native life in the Equator District of the Colony of Congo Belge. Its influence has also reached parts of three of the districts bordering on Equator District. It is with the church that this mission has won from the surrounding heathenism and with the church that it is hoped may be built up in this section from this beginning that this thesis primarily deals.

It is, of course, evident that handwriting is used almost as universally for expressing thought as is speech. The utilitarian value of handwriting to every individual in the home, in school, and in the business office ranks it of major importance among the school subjects. Handwriting also plays an essential part in almost every subject that is taught in the public schools.

On April 16, 1920, the Woman's Franchise League of Indiana, Indianapolis Branch, voted to disband and to establish a League of Women Voters in its place, carrying the members of the Franchise League on its roster for the first six months. Votes for women, the single purpose for which they, and others like them across the continent, had worked, was certain of accomplishment. The Federal Amendment, granting suffrage to women, had passed the Congress in the previous year and ratification by a sufficient number of states seemed certain.

The objective of the writer of this thesis is to present a plain account of the work of Paul as an evangelist in the field of early Christianity. In his labors to spread the gospel, and in his endeavors to lead people to accept and obey that gospel, Paul was a devoted man. His devotion to this great cause, however, had not always been characteristic of Paul. He once lived in direct hostility to the cause for which he later endangered and finally surrendered his life. This change of mind and conduct will be better understood when we consider his early life, his conversion, and his commission.

By the expression, "tenure of teachers", used in this dissertation and in the works of present day writers of educational theory, we mean the security of position of teachers, provided for them either by local board rulings or by laws enacted by state legislatures.

Secondary education is the organized effort of society through its schools to aid the normal processes of growth and to produce desirable changes in attitutde, ideals, and behavior of boys and girls during the periods of early and middle adolescence. It is customary to consider the maximum period for receiving education from six to about twenty-five years; the period from twelve to eighteen is the suitable period to term the period of secondary education, the center of any educational system. In other words the secondary school is concerned primarily with boys and girls in their teens.

Since 1932, the course of study and time allotment for the junior high schools in Indianapolis, has set aside one period a week as a definite time on the program for organzied clubs. As this time is allotted and required, several questions naturally arise. Is the junior high school pupil too immature for club life? How can these club periods be used ot the best advantage for the pupil? Are they effective? If not, how can they be made so? Are there any suggestions that would aid in fulfilling the purpose of the assignment of school time for clubs?

Edwin Arlington Robinson is generally acknowledged to be particularly the "poet of failures". His poems deal preeminently with the problems of men and women who err through their various limitations, and who usually err tragically. Since this is true, it is necessary to survey briefly, and attempt to classify, the materials from which the analyses for this study will be drawn. Such a survey will follow immediately in a subsequent chapter.

That the New Testament Scriptures stand alone as the source material of the Christian Way is very widely recognized. As to the final authority of this literature, however, there are two widely divergent schools, the Roman Catholic and the Protestant. The former places authority in the Church militant, while the latter clings to the maxim of Chillingworth, "The Bible is the religion of Protestants".

The entire subject--military training in the secondary schools--is at present highly controversial. Its educational value has been a matter of debate since the earliest appearance of such training in the college curriculum over a century ago. Since the World War, the debate has become more heated and pointed. Certain aspects of the training, especially military education as a part of a school's requirements for graduation, are receiving criticism from organized opposition.

One of the foremost subjects for country-wide and consideration is our terrifying death and accident rate. Engineers, and govenment officials from city, state, and national government are directing unusual energies towards a partial solution of the problem. Without safety, the most important things in life are impossible to achieve and safe living is the keystone of our personal and national well-being. Accidents destroy economic security. Millions suffer privation and want when the bread-winners of the family are injured or when family sayings are used up in caring for injured children. Our national economic loss from accidents amounts to billions of dollars annually. Property is destroyed, productive power is ourtrailed, and useful lives are prematurely snuffed out. Security, efficiency, prosperity, and happiness must not be sacrificed through carelessness or neglect.

The purpose in this thesis is to present the technique established in teaching classes of one hundred (80-120) in mathematics and to compare the student progress with the progress made by those in small classes of the entire department. In this study the pupils have not been assigned, either to the large class (100) or the small classes (35), in any special way. In every instance, the assignment to classes has been to suit the pupil's program or the programs of the school. In other words, there has been no attempt to assign special pupils to special classes for the purpose of conducting a scientifically controlled experiment.

One of the greatest sources for literary productions during the Middle Ages was the material which dealt with King Arthur and his followers. These heroes were very popular, and the fame of their exploits was wide spread. As early as the eleventh century, the Arthurian stories were current in Italy, and some of the episodes were carved in a cathedral in Modena in the early twelfth century. Many romances filled with the adventures of the knights were written in France, and some of the heroes were popular in Germany.

In the treatment of the character of Lancelot in the Arthurian romance I have tried to show the different conceptions of each author studied. The first section presents the group of romances dealing with the idea of Lancelot as an individual lover. At first he was merely a knight of prowess; then he becomes the lover of the queen. This association adds to his prestige as an outstanding character.

The treatment of nature by the English Romantic poets of the nineteenth century is commonly thought to be confined to the poetry of Wordsworth. Although the bulk of Wordsworth's poetry is concerned with nature, a study of the poetry of the period reveals that the other great Romanticists were also interested in nature. This thesis is written to show how great a factor the treatment of nature is in the poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
