Literary Study And Its Tradition: A Handbook Guide For Graduate Students In English., James Sebree Loveall

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Every serious student of English, no matter how many years separate him from the M.A. or Ph. D. degrees, must develop to a high degree the essential quality of independence which allows him to pursue investigation in his subject more or less on his own. He cannot continue to bother librarians for every specific source of information which he way need in pursuit of his assigned or self-imposed tasks either in class or out. He should know his way around the area of bibliography--the earlier in his academic career, the better. Surely his first ventures in this direction should not …

Pragmatic And Dialectic Conceptions Of Methodology For Inquiries Into Freedom And Their Implications For Education, Richard John Gallo

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Many of the controversies going on in the world today are concerned with the problem of freedom. Issues involving freedom are important in the fields of theology, law, government, labor, philosophy, and education. For example, in assessing the ideological climate of the world, the standard of freedom is the measure used by many western political observers to demarcate the totalitarian from the free; the emergence of the nations is often defended in theory by appealing to the right of a people freely to determine themselves; the prevailing vitality of the Negro movement is America is a manifestation of a determination …

Sacrificial Worship In Ancient Israel And Its Fulfillment In Jesus Christ, Samuel Richard Baglien

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

During recent years, there has been a renewed interest in the study of the historical and religious values of the Old Testament. Christians everywhere seem to have become obsessed with an inherent thirst for a better understanding of this great book and the faith it teaches. This renewed desire to probe into the rich background of Semitic culture that is the very historical foundation of Christianity seems to have been brought about by two distinct and quite general conditions.

The first and most obvious condition is the age in which we are living--the age of science. Today, this age is …

Reporting Pupil Progress Of Mentally Retarded Children In The San Pablo School District, William Brent Adams

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

While much has been done in California to provide adequate facilities and programs to educate and train the child who is mentally retarded, very little has been done to assure adequate reporting of the child's progress: in the program. This assumption has been reinforced through discussion of this problem with many persons who are active in programs for the mentally retarded in California.

It must be further assumed that an adequate method of evaluating and reporting pupil progress should be an inherent part of any purposeful educational program.

The problem was to determine what methods should be used to report …

Non-Delinquency Among American-Chinese Youth : A Pilot Study, Conrad Foo Mar

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

It was the purpose of this study: (1) to examine the obstacles in research in the uniquely difficult area of sampling of the American-Chinese population and (2) to find out what descriptive approaches do not produce resistance, hopefully to suggest future research in this area and (3) to obtain historical and descriptive data which might offer, from a sample of both delinquent and non-delinquent American-Chinese youth, some clues to the rehabilitation of youthful offenders. Specifically, this was basically an attempt to obtain an available sample of both delinquent and non-delinquent American-Chinese youth for the purpose of identifying some of the …
