Milton And Cambridge : A New Look At An Old Attitude, Roy S. Riner
Milton And Cambridge : A New Look At An Old Attitude, Roy S. Riner
Master's Theses
From the insights cleaned from current research into John Milton's years as an undergraduate and a graduate student at Cambridge University, this writer has found an overwhelming amount of material dedicated to pointing out Milton's total lack of affection for that university. For the most part, those statements bearing on Milton's dislike for Cambridge are unequivocal. For example, one scholar has remarked that John Milton departed from the University in 1632 "weary and disguised" with the medieval, unbearable antiquated methods of the place. That same scholar continues with the statement that Milton's attitude toward Cambridge was "uniformly unfriendly" and that …

Chaucer's Ecclesiastics In The Canterbury Tales, Helen Lee Coleman
Chaucer's Ecclesiastics In The Canterbury Tales, Helen Lee Coleman
Master's Theses
It is thought that Chaucer began composing The Canterbury Tales as a dramatic whole around 1387. This is his last and by f ar his best known work. In this final. masterpiece Chaucer undertakes the tremendous task or presenting in poetic form a whole society. However, he does not merely explore society in general; he also develops the theme or the individual's relation to the community and the integral part that each person plays in making up the whole. The Canterbury Tales is, as George Lyman Kittredge so aptly puts it, "a micro cosmography" or a little image of a …
Timidity, Emotionality, And Activity In Rats Deprived Of Grooming, Josiah B. Henneberger
Timidity, Emotionality, And Activity In Rats Deprived Of Grooming, Josiah B. Henneberger
Master's Theses
The purpose of this current study was to investigate the effect of restriction of grooming, by means of collars, on activity, emotionality, and timidity. On the basis of the common occurrence of grooming when under stress some relationship between licking and emotionality was assumed to exist by the author. it was therefore expected that differences would be found among the treatment group.
The current study made use of a three factor design. One factor was the treatment factor, another factor was the replications factor, and the third was the days factor. The days factor has repeated measures and the replications …
The Effects Of Estradiol Benzoate On Protein Synthesis By The Isolated Perfused Snake Liver, William Ralph Boone
The Effects Of Estradiol Benzoate On Protein Synthesis By The Isolated Perfused Snake Liver, William Ralph Boone
Master's Theses
The effect s of estradios benzoate on protein synthesis by the isolated perfused liver of Natrix fasciata fasciata (Linnaeus, 1766), the southern banded water snake, were investigated. The incorporation of carbon-14 labeled leucine into plasma protein of the liver perfusate was used as an index of protein synthesis by the perfused liver.
Both control and experimental livers demonstrated incorporation of the labeled leucine into plasma protein. However, estrogen treated livers expressed significantly greater incorporation of the amino acid into plasma protein giving an almost linear response. Total plasma protein levels were also significantly higher in the perfusions involving estrogen treated …
Colonial Independence Of Feeding Among Zooids Of The Ectoproct Lophodella Carteri (Hyatt), Leonard M. Bahr
Colonial Independence Of Feeding Among Zooids Of The Ectoproct Lophodella Carteri (Hyatt), Leonard M. Bahr
Master's Theses
Possible interactions of feeding between zooids of colonies of the freshwater ectoproct Lophopodella carter! were investigated. Suspensions of Euglena gracilis at a concentration of 558x103 cells ml-1 were cleared by L. carter at a rate of 2.7 x 10-3 ml min-1 zooid-1 for15 minute periods. The rate of ingestion of E. gracilis by L. carter was independent of the size of colony and decreased exponentially with time, declining to about one third the original rate in 60 minutes.
Refractoriness Of Pet Mouse Integument To The Nerve Growth Factor, Walter Hollified Dorman
Refractoriness Of Pet Mouse Integument To The Nerve Growth Factor, Walter Hollified Dorman
Master's Theses
This paper deals with the refractoriness of PET mouse integument to the subcutaneous administration of nerve growth factor. Newborn mice were injected once daily with NGF through ten injections. Gross and histological examination showed that the skin of the experimental animals was completely unresponsive to this agent. No alterations in the hair growth cycle or pattern were observed.
The Relation Between Measured Intelligence And The Ability To Learn, Robert Stephen Peddicord
The Relation Between Measured Intelligence And The Ability To Learn, Robert Stephen Peddicord
Master's Theses
There are perhaps as many definitions of intelligence as there are definers. However, one definition which has extensive commonsense appeal, according to Simrall (1947), identifies intelligence with the ability to learn, or to profit from experience. Certainly, many practicing psychologists have interpreted intelligence test scores as reflective of an individual's learning ability or potential for future learning. In his address as retiring president of the American Psychological Association, Garrett commented that: "It is undoubtedly true that intelligence involves the ability to learn..." (Garrett, 1946, p. 372).
Great Day. An Edition Of Great Day : The Autobiography Of Emma Speed Sampson, John Letcher Fugate
Great Day. An Edition Of Great Day : The Autobiography Of Emma Speed Sampson, John Letcher Fugate
Master's Theses
Other than a reference to Emma Speed Sampson in a sentence to the editorial in a recent Saturday Evening Post and two informative articles about her by Gay Friddell in the Commonwealth and Lillian F. Trimmer in the Richmond Times Dispatch virtually no criticism has been done on this outstanding Southern local colorist. Although she wrote books in the "Carter Girs" series, the "Molly Brown" series, and the "Campfire Girls" series, the sequence of books for which Emma Speed Sampson will be best remembered is the "Miss Minerva" series, twelves books whose humorous pages reveal the way of life in …
Chaucer's Ecclesiastics In The Canterbury Tales, Helen Lee Coleman
Chaucer's Ecclesiastics In The Canterbury Tales, Helen Lee Coleman
Master's Theses
It is thought that Chaucer began composing The Canterbury Tales as a dramatic whole around 1387. This is his last and by far his best known work. In this final masterpiece Chaucer undertakes the tremendous task of presenting in poetic form a whole society. However, he does not merely explore society in general; he also develops the theme or the individual's relation to the community and the integral part that each person plays in making up the whole.

The York River Railroad : 1851-1881, Stuart B. Medlin
The York River Railroad : 1851-1881, Stuart B. Medlin
Master's Theses
The construction of railroads in the State of Virginia was perhaps the single most important economic development that affected the growth of the state. Connecting isolated sections of the state, railroads enabled rural and urban areas to share their respective contributions to the economic prosperity of the common-wealth. Beginning in 1836, when Virginia's first line was constructed, Virginia railroading developed rapidly from 676 3/4 miles in 1851 to 1,954 miles in 1880.
One of the lines that contributed to this economic development was a short thirty-eight mile track that ran from Richmond to West Point at the head of the …

Black Cloud Over Danville: The Negro Movement In Danville, Virginia In 1963, Gordon Brooks Powell Jr.
Master's Theses
It ls the purpose of this work to show how the racial disturbance began and why it came to a close in Danville, Virginia in 1963. This work asks: "Why Danville, what happened, what killed it, and what was the aftermath?" The central vehicle for answering these questions is the Danville Police Department. Research was done, over a period of some fifteen months, through a series of court records and transcripts, interviews, newspapers, observations, books, and other sources related to this topic. It should be pointed out, that in as many cases as possible, this author attempted to determine the …

L'Evolution Du PèRe Dans Le Drame Bourgeois RéAliste : Diderot, Sedaine, Augier, Cecile Etiennette Noble
Master's Theses
Dane les pieces classiques du XVIIe siecle les acteurs ne sont pas inscrits a l'affiche dans leur ordre d'entree en scene mais par le role hierarchique dont ils etaient l'interprete. En d'autres termes, les rois, les empereurs et les grands personnages occupent la premiere place dans la distribution; puis viennent les heros, les parents et les confidents. Ainsi nous sommes temoins de l'infiltration des us dans les moindres gestes de la societe.
Suivant la tradition antique, le heres etait presque toujours jeune, beau, malheureux et devait se heurter a des obstacles sans quoi l'intrigue aurait peri. Cet obstacle prenait bien …
Britain's Conciliatory Proposal Of 1776, A Study In Futility, John Taylor Savage Jr.

Elizabethan Foreign Policy : 1567-1585, Jo Anne Reynolds
Elizabethan Foreign Policy : 1567-1585, Jo Anne Reynolds
Master's Theses
The topic of this paper, "Elizabeth Foreign Policy: 1567-1585", evolved from an attempt to analyze Anglo-Spanish relations during the same period. The interrelatedness of the religious and political problems among the major powers of the period led this author frequently into considerations outside the original sphere of interest. While the topic was expanded in scope, it should be noted that the paper attempts to deal only with the more significant factors affecting English foreign policy and not not pretend to illuminate the complex and changing national situations elsewhere. Specific external events are introduced only when they directly affect Elizabeth foreign …
The Image Of The Jew In James Joyce's Ulysses, Phyllis Joyce Cohen Levy
The Image Of The Jew In James Joyce's Ulysses, Phyllis Joyce Cohen Levy
Master's Theses
Since the beginning of English literature, the Jew has been portrayed as a villain. Edgar Rosenberg and Montague Frank Madder most affirmed the conviction in each of their studies of the Jew in English literature. However, the conclusion that the Jew is still portrayed as a villain is invalid because the image has changed. It is my intention to examine this change, focusing particularly on the character of Leopold Bloom in James Joyce 's Ulysses.

Effect Of Maze Arm Alternation On Maze Traversal Latency : Analysis Of The Aftereffects Hypothesis, Ronald Seymour Johnson
Effect Of Maze Arm Alternation On Maze Traversal Latency : Analysis Of The Aftereffects Hypothesis, Ronald Seymour Johnson
Master's Theses
Clark Hull (1952) proposed that nonreinforccd trials facilitate distinctive after effects and used this "aftereffect" theory to account for the PREE (the greater resistance to extinction of partially rewarded Ss as compared to continuously rewarded Ss). The theory proposed that stimulus traces of a nonrewarded trial (SN) persist and are conditioned to the locomotor response (Ri) on trials which are reinforced and preceded by nonreinforced trials. If t he SN_>Ri association has been established under partial reward conditions, and since SN occurs during extinction, PREE is predicted.
Effects Of Category-Relevance, Retention Measure, And Category-Affiliation Upon Retention Of The Aging, Gary M. Tyson
Effects Of Category-Relevance, Retention Measure, And Category-Affiliation Upon Retention Of The Aging, Gary M. Tyson
Master's Theses
The present investigation represents an attempt to further explore several parameters of short-term memory as a function of the relevance of appropriateness of the verbal materials utilized. It is the author's contention that due to changing patterns of interests and experiences accompanying chronological aging, certain types of verbal material vary with respect to their relevance for use with aging populations. In regard to parameters of short-term memory, the present study contains provisions for exploring efficiency of retention as a function of the retention measure; and category•affiliated as opposed to randomly-selected words. A more complete and integrated formulation is presented in …
Partial Reinforcement With A Small Number Of Acquisition Trials : The Effects Of Reward Technique, Samuel Joseph Thios
Partial Reinforcement With A Small Number Of Acquisition Trials : The Effects Of Reward Technique, Samuel Joseph Thios
Master's Theses
There have been a number of investigators who have noted superior resistance to extinction of a runway locomotion response by rats which were trained under partial reinforcement schedules as compared with rats trained under continuous reinforcement schedules (e.g., Logan, Beier & Kincaid, 1956; Weinstock, 1954; Badia, 1965; McCoy & Marx, 1965; Black & Spence, 1965).
The present experiment, involving four acquisition trials and nine extinction trials, was designed to investigate the influence of reward technique in an experimental context which systematically examined the effects of thwarting and nonthwarting reward techniques.
Reconstructing Shabazz : Images Of The Black Man In Four Black Plays, William Charles Thompson
Reconstructing Shabazz : Images Of The Black Man In Four Black Plays, William Charles Thompson
Master's Theses
When Elizabeth I ascended the throne in 1558, she was confronted with a changing economic situation. English industry, which had for centuries been localized in the towns under guild control, was maturing and becoming national in scope. In accordance with the prevailing economic precepts of the age, Elizabeth desired to bring industry under a system of national regulation. Such a system of regulation was, however, even for the strongest and most ingenious of the Tudor autocrats, a difficult and elusive goal. Plagued throughout her long reign by a shortage of funds, Elizabeth simply could not afford to involved the state …
The Danville Riot Of 1883 : Its Effect On Politics In Virginia, William Carrington Tate
The Danville Riot Of 1883 : Its Effect On Politics In Virginia, William Carrington Tate
Master's Theses
Dr. Richard L. Morton, a Virginia historian who lived in the early twentieth century, wrote, "the recrudescence of the race question has occurred in Virginia politics only in times of political stress, when the negro vote has been necessary to keep certain elements in power." Probably no more powerful example of Dr. Morton's words has occurred in the Old Dominion than that outbreak of passions between blacks and whites in the streets of Danville on November 3, 1883, only three days before the legislative election for the state was to take place.
In the pages of this thesis I will …
In The Mind's Eye : A Study Of Shakespeare's Imaginative Use Of Stage Properties In Six Representative Plays, Margaret Hart Glenn Tinsley
In The Mind's Eye : A Study Of Shakespeare's Imaginative Use Of Stage Properties In Six Representative Plays, Margaret Hart Glenn Tinsley
Master's Theses
The unity, or stylistic oneness, that is the most salient characteristic of Shakespeare's style has been achieved with such consummate ease that the underlying pattern of workmanship is imperceptible at a casual reading. Upon analysis, however, the ingenious means which the playwright has employed, perhaps unconsciously, to create this effect of unity easily may be discerned.
This paper is an analysis of the stage properties in six plays and their function in the plays' overall design. In this study it may be seen that within each play each stage property is so imaginatively used that it seems at once both …
An Evaluation Of The Effectiveness Of Moderator Variables Developed By Three Techniques, James Porter Tucker Jr.
An Evaluation Of The Effectiveness Of Moderator Variables Developed By Three Techniques, James Porter Tucker Jr.
Master's Theses
In a recent article, Hobert and Dunnette (1967) maintained that compared to the Absolute-difference and Algebraic-difference techniques Quadrant Analysis should yield the more effective moderators. Their assertion was based on the reasoning that more homogenous subgrouping should yield moderators with increased sensitivity to error. The present study was carried out as an empirical investigation of their assertions. Further, the design of the study permitted an investigation of moderator function.
The total sample (n=333) of male college students was randomly divided into a developmental sample and a cross-validation sample. Employing the aforementioned techniques a total of five moderator scales were developed …
The Effect Of Poor Discipline On Achieving A Grade Point Total Consistent With Ability At Tuckahoe Junior High School, John Wayne Traylor
The Effect Of Poor Discipline On Achieving A Grade Point Total Consistent With Ability At Tuckahoe Junior High School, John Wayne Traylor
Master's Theses
There has been a great deal of speculation and controversy over discipline in the schools of the world. The causes and effects of poor discipline have been discussed, and much has been written on both subjects. The public schools of America are in the peculiar position of being greatly affected by poor discipline. Being a public institution open to all citizens, the schools have to meet the problem and have to find ways of combatting it in order to maintain an efficient operation in line with the standards of excellence set by the public which sustains them.
It was the …
