The Botany Laboratory, S.J. Neher Jul 1931

The Botany Laboratory, S.J. Neher

Master's Theses

In the present work it has been my purpose to present a descriptive list of laboratory exercises in botany which is predictable and useable under the existing conditions of the average small high school of western Kansas. To be more specific these exercises may be used by a teacher without special training in botany, in a crowded curriculum, and with little laboratory equipment. Most of the apparatus needed may be improvised by the pupil, and the plants called for are common in any community in the western half of Kansas.

The Short Story Technique Of Wilbur Daniel Steele, Grace Mcmahan Rogers May 1931

The Short Story Technique Of Wilbur Daniel Steele, Grace Mcmahan Rogers

Master's Theses

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 Evolution Of The Korean Family, Samuel Kendrick Dodson

Master's Theses

If the family is a fundamentally important factor in the economic, political, and social life of the nations of the West, much more i it in that of the nations of the Far East, China, Japan and Korea. Individualism as we know 1t in the West has had very little recognition there until very recent times. But every individual in all phases of' life was very· closely geared into the unit of the family, and all his thought and actions were determined by his relation to that unit. In this conception, China had set the pattern through hoary centuries of …

In 1926, Wynn Williams investigated the theory of the three-point gap, which phenomenon had been known and utilized for some time but until his investigation was not understood theoretically. This investigation has been divided into two distinct parts: First, when the energy was generated by a large Toepler-Holtz station machine; and second when the energy was generated by a one-kilowatt, 25,000 volt transformer.

A Chronological Analysis And Interpretation Of The Plays Of Eugene Gladstone O'Neill, Violet Carey D'Urban-Coles

In this thesis I have endeavored to give a chronological estimate and interpretation of Eugene O’Neill’s plays as well as nearly in the order of their writing as possible.

Five of the eight are Thirst, The Web, Warnings, Fog, and Recklessness, which were printed in 1914 under the title of Thirst and Other One-Act Plays by Eugene C. O’Neill. However, O’Neill has …
