A Study Of Family And Personal Relationships Of 69 Girls In A Public Junior College In Mississippi, Fleta Estelle Whitaker

Masters Theses

(From the Introduction) The extensive development in the physical and biological sciences, according to Flora Rose of Cornell, has resulted in more momentous changes in our environment than had occurred in the previous history of mankind.
