Second Bibliography And Index For The Philosophy Of Geology, Claude C. Albritton Jr.
Second Bibliography And Index For The Philosophy Of Geology, Claude C. Albritton Jr.
Journal of the Graduate Research Center
The body of writings on the philosophy and history of geology has grown in a remarkable way since the end of the Second World War. There is no obvious explanation for this quickening of interest in what are surely the most academic aspects of a science best known for its practical applications. Influences arising both from within and from outside the geological profession have probably been responsible. It is a matter of record that many departments of geology, upon resuming full-time operations after the war, decided not to go on moving in the old curricular ruts. The new courses, even …

The First One Hundred Books: A Brief History Of Southern Methodist University Press—1937-1964, Allen Maxwell
Journal of the Graduate Research Center
While 1937 is considered the "founding year" of the SMU Press-it was on June 1, 1937, that Bishop John M. Moore, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, first announced the establishment of the Press, and on November 22 that the first book was published (Samuel Wood Geiser's Naturalists of the Frontier, in an edition of 755 copies)-the publishing activities of SMU, and the roots of the Press itself, reach considerably farther back. From the time the quarterly Texas Review was moved from the University of Texas to SMU and renamed the Southwest Review in 1924, a dedicated handful of forward-looking …
The Egghead: Past, Present And Future, Carlton B. Chapman
The Egghead: Past, Present And Future, Carlton B. Chapman
Journal of the Graduate Research Center
I hold true scholarship to be the most worthwhile and honorable of callings. It not only provides the scholar with the tools he needs for tangible accomplishment, but also, if pursued properly and in depth, engenders a sort of humility and personal awareness that make for generous and just appraisal of one's fellow men and of oneself. I dare say most of you share this view in some measure but if you believe that such a view is the prevailing American estimate, I think you deceive yourselves. There are numerous indications that in the majority American opinion, scholarship in depth …
One Of Our Rising Expectations, William P. Steven
One Of Our Rising Expectations, William P. Steven
Journal of the Graduate Research Center
Whenever we cannot understand a surging nationalism in an area which formerly was a colony, whenever we cannot abide independence among a people who have accepted our aid, whenever a new nation experiments with political systems that differ from democracy, we are outraged. And then we are told to be calm, for this is a time of rising expectations.
Cherokee Burn Conjurations, Jack Frederick Kilpatrick, Anna Gritts Kilpatrick
Cherokee Burn Conjurations, Jack Frederick Kilpatrick, Anna Gritts Kilpatrick
Journal of the Graduate Research Center
Of all the conjurations known by the laity of the Oklahoma Cherokees, those for burns are probably the most ubiquitous. Yet they are but rarely to be found in writing. Medicine men, being largely concerned with matters weightier than burns, seldom take the trouble to record them, and household remedy notebooks, in which they are frequently written down, ordinarily do not long survive their authors.
Some Functions In The Theory Of Neutron Logging, L. S. Allen, C. W. Tittle
Some Functions In The Theory Of Neutron Logging, L. S. Allen, C. W. Tittle
Journal of the Graduate Research Center
The solution to the one-energy-group diffusion equation for the case of a point neutron source on the axis of two concentric cylindrical media has been programmed for a digital computer. Numerical results for a wide range of values of diffusion length and diffusion coefficient for the outer medium, and for four radii of the inner cylinder are presented. The outer radius in all cases is effectively infinite.
