The Political, Social, And Religious Life Of The Golden Age At The Time Of Horace And Virgil
No full textThe Purpose of this thesis is to portray the Political, Social, and Religious Life of the Golden Age, at the time of Horace and Vergil. I have followed closely Fowler's "Social Life at Home" and his "Religions experiences of the Roman People." I also made special use of Boak 's "History of Rome.
The Translation and Latinity of the Homilies From the Third to the Twenty-Third Sunday after Pentecost
No full textThis thesis consists of a short dissertation on homilies, their history and nature, together with the chief writers of homilies. The four recognized ways of treating the homily and the efficacy of each method are discussed. The homilies from the third to the twenty-third Sunday after Pentecost are translated. The Latinity of the homilies from the third to the fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost is then treated of. The chief distinctions between Patristic and Classical Latin, as exemplified in these homilies, are noted and commented on. In the conclusion generalizations are drawn from a study of the work as a whole. The value of this work to me in increased knowledge of Latin syntax and rules, its advantage in the development of a literary style, and its aid to English grammar are all dwelt on. The spiritual value of the subject matter of the homilies is also mentioned in the conclusion
Law Of Negotiable Instruments
No full textDEFINITION. "An instrument is called negotiable when the legal title to the instrument itself, and the whole amount of money expressed upon its face, may be transferred from one to another by indorsement and delivered by the holder or by delivery only." Negotiable paper or instruments, are synonymous terms. At a very early day in the history of primitive peoples, the commerce was conducted exclusively by barter and exchange of commodities. A given number of cattle would be exchanged for a given number of horses, or some bushesl or measures of wheat for a certain quantity of some other commodity. But almost in the dawn of history the use and value of money for the facilitation of trade were recognized, and instead of barter and exchange, it became the common custom to sell the commodity for so many pieces of money.
DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS.- -Although negotiable instruments are contracts in a broad sense of the word, they posses two distinctive characteristics wherein they differ from ordinary contracts. These are negotiability and the presumption of consideration.DEFINITION.

The History Of Advertising
Full text linkSince the time men lived in communities and competed for the necessities and luxuries of life, there has probably existed some form of advertising. This first period extends to 1450 A. D. when the modern process of printing by movable type was invented. Prior to that time there were forms of hand written and inscribed announcements corresponding to advertisements. Probably the first was an announcement offering a reward for a runaway slave in Egypt about 3000 B.D. In both Greece and Rome, advertisements of gladatorial exhibitions were posted. Another form of publicity used by the Greeks consisted in affixing to the statues of the infernal deities curses inscribed on sheets of lead, assigning persons who had stolen goods or done other injury to the advertiser to the vengeance of these gods.
At first, the merchant cried his wares in the streets carrying them with him as he did so. Later, when shops were established, the professional town crier appeared on the scene. There were, during the pr-printing stage, many town criers in the various large cities of Europe. While their method of announcing was oral, it was, nevertheless, a forerunner of present day advertising in the sense of being mass selling.
The second stage naturally arose when modern methods of printing were invented. With this development there then came about the publication of newspapers and periodicals corresponding to our modern magazines. It is said the first newspaper was published in Strassburg in 1609.
The Modern Period may be dated from 1850 to 1911. The reason for putting the dividing point between the second and third periods at 1850 is the rapid appearance of newspapers and magazines which made possible the development of modern advertising on a large scale. Advertising was impossible until printing developed and until people generally learned to read. One reason for the rapid increase in the number and distribution of advertising mediums at this time is probably found in the development of transportation systems, the railroads, and the waterways. Prior to that time, railroad lines were limited to restricted areas.
During this period the number of magazines and newspapers grew very rapidly, to such an extent that in 1861 there were 5,703 magazines, papers and periodicals in the United States. Advertising firms and agencies got a foothold. In 1914 there was organized the Audit Bureau of Circulations. This has become the leading agency for securing reliable information about advertising mediums and their selection for specific purposes.
Advertising today plays an important role in the operation of business. It has assumed such large proportions in recent years that it is difficult to estimate its magnitude and to calculate the exact place which it occupies in present commercial affairs. It has been estimated that in the neighborhood of one billion dollars is spent annually for this purpose and that about 3,000 square miles are used each year in the country.Since the time men lived in communities and competed for the necessities and luxuries of life, there has probably existed some form of advertising.

A Critical Analysis Of The Aeneid
Full text linkThis thesis is written particularly as a partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts in Latin and Greek. The subject has been chosen without the advice of the head of that department, but has been chosen only after a great desire to critically analyze the first six books of the immortal Aeneid of Publius Virgilius Mar--a desire which was born during the study of the work during my high school course, found nutrition in a further study during my higher education work at Mount St. Charles College, and will be developed a s fully as possible within my poor power during the course of this treatise.

Refutation Of The Mechanistic Conception Of Life
No full textIn studying the history of philosophical though, one fact seems to be conspicuous by its absence. That is, we find very little speculation regarding the origin of life. Ancient philosophy is distinctly religious, this being markedly so in the early history of Egypt, China, India, and Persia. Even pagan Greece and Greco-Roman philosophy was concerned mainly with the Creation of the World and the existence of a Supreme Being. However, the question was not unknown, for the writings of Aristotle, Vergil, and Origen reveal speculation concerning the origin of life.
It is only within recent years that investigations concerning the first origin of life became so general as to arouse heated controversies among scientists. This remarkable fact can be accounted for by three very evident reasons.In studying the history of philosophical though, one fact seems to be conspicuous by its absence.
