Thesis (Ph. D.)--Boston University / This dissertation sets forth data and interpretation for a more adequate evaluation of the significance of the life and work of William Fairfield Warren to the theology of American Methodism. The method employed is that of an "intellectual biography" in which Warren's achievements are delineated against the background of his life and times. The sources for the study are mainly primary. Following a chapter dealing with Warren's biography, a survey is made of his early works as a maturing Methodist thinker. His response to the theological Climate of mid-nineteenth century New England is seen to be characteristic of American Methodism of that period. Another chapter examines Warren's scholarship in the areas of cosmology, comparative religion, and the history, psychology, and philosophy of religion. His standpoint is seen to be that of Christian theism which he conceived to be the highest, deepest, and most scientific view possible. He understood the wellsprings of all religion and theology to lie in the incompatability within each individual of instinctive awareness of absolute dependence and spontaneous energy. It is argued that religion can and must pass before the strictest and most thorough scientific investigation. The heart of Warren's philosophy of religion is his conviction of the identity of ideal Christianity with ideal Religion. Christianity is presented as the one true World-Religion. The God postulated y philosophical and scientific researches is identical with the God revealed by Jesus Christ. One-sided emphases on either "divine revelation" or "purely natural evolution" are joined together in a third view which seeks to harmonize the two by showing that the essence of religion implies a mutual activity on the part of the Divine Object and the human subject.

Thesis (M.M.E.)--Boston University / A comparison of the vocal music program of Fairfield High School with other Connecticut high schools was necessary because, it was felt by the author and the school authorities, that the existing program was not up to the standards desired by the State Department of Education. The high school level was chosen because it was at this level, that the author was chiefly concerned. When the study was begun Fairfield High School was a Class B school, but before the investigation was completed, the enrollment of this high school had increased, so that the number of pupils was over one thousand, thus making it a Class A school. For this reason both types of schools were included in the survey. A few of the Class C schools were sent questionnaires, because of their nearness to the Fairfield location. Another reason for selecting high school level was because it was there that opportunities in various phases of vocal music education should be offered to the gifted student. Some definite problems existed in this school, so that it was felt by the author, that too many of these students were not getting all the advantages of a full music program. Poor planning and scheduling of classes, the failure to recognize music as an equal with other subjects in the curriculum, the lack of pupil participation in music activities in the school, as well as in the state, and lack of proper housing of the music department, were all problems that contributed to the failure of providing acequate opportunity for students gifted in music [TRUNCATED]
