Thomas William Robertson, The Mid-Victorian Dramatist, James A. Fitzpatrick

Bachelors’ Theses

It is the purpose of this thesis to determine the position of Thomas William Robertson in the dramatic history of the nineteenth century, and to discover what contributions, if any, he made to the drama of this period. In addition to making a careful analysis of Robertson's more important dramas, I have read all the outstanding dramatic histories of the middle of the last century and some of its popular dramatic works. In my investigation of this problem I have explained the dramatic conditions of the early and mid-nineteenth century, revealed the characteristic tendencies of its popular plays, set forth …

Throwing Power Of A Chromium Plating Bath Containing Hydrofluoric Acid Instead Of Sulfphuric Acid, Clarence E. Barta

Bachelors’ Theses

Chromium was discovered in 1797 by a Frence Chemist named Vauquelin who gave it its name from a Greek word for color because of its variety of colors which its various compounds show. The electrode-deposition of Chromium from a Chromium acid solution has been an accomplished feature for the past century but it has only been in the past few years that the mechanism of the process has been sufficiently understood to permit its commercial application.

Harding and Barrows state that it is possible to ob­tain satisfactory Chromium deposits from Chromic acid baths containing compounds other than sulfuric acid which …

Photometry, Arthur G. Barkow

Bachelors’ Theses

The preparation of this paper was not undertaken primarily with a view of discussing all types of photometer, but mostly for the investigation of the Ritchie Wedge. As for the first part, the history or resume is brief and somewhat incomplete. In the ensuing pages, no reference is given to the portable photometer, so helpful to illuminating engineers. This was not deemed necessary since the principle involved is similar to those discussed.

A New Method For Determining The Rate Of Evaporation And The Relative Humidity, Willliam T. Shaw

Bachelors’ Theses

The presence of water vapor in the air is of the greatest importance to organic life. Animal and vegetable life is entirely dependent on water which very largely reaches the the earth through precipitation of water vapor held in the atmosphere. Not only does the water vapor in the air supply organic life with the life-giving fluid, but it also significantly modifies the climatic conditions of any region. Even in temperate climates such as in southern Australia, the air is often so dry that ordinary wooden furniture and articles of wood cannot be used because the air in this condition …

The Practical Evaluation Of Resultants, T. A. Pierce

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

The purpose of the present note is to give a practical method of evaluating the resultant of two equations. The method is particularly effective when the degree of one of the equations is high while that of the other is low. Use will be made of certain results in the theory of matrices.

The Articulated Skeleton Of Titanotherium, Erwin H. Barbour

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

The skeleton of a titanotherium, stored since 1894, was installed in the west corridor of Morrill Hall, April 28, 1931. In the meantime the specimen has been visited by many citizens, women's clubs, and especially by delegations of school children, boy scouts, and like organizations, from various parts of the State and elsewhere. Repeated requests for a popular report on this particular specimen actuates the writing of this leaflet. Titanotheres were by far the largest creatures of Oligocene time in Nebraska. In point of size they are called gigantic, elephantine, and titanic. The titans of Greek mythology were giants, and …

The Scottsbluff Bison Quarry And Its Artifacts, Erwin Hinckley Barbour, C. Bertrand Schultz

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

The association of artifacts with extinct bison bones in a quarry near Grand Island, Hall County Nebraska,¹ and from one in Custer County, Nebraska, have already been reported.² In the meantime, continued search has been rewarded, and a large bed of fossil bison with associated flint implements found. The discovery, if not of actual consequence, at least adds something to the accumulating evidence that Pleistocene man in America may have been a reality.

Association Of Artifacts And Extinct Mammals In Nebraska, Bertrand Schultz

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

During the past four years the Nebraska State Museum, under the directorship of Dr. Erwin Hinckley Barbour, has been making even more extensive palaeontological collections throughout Nebraska than heretofore. As work progresses, especially with fossil bison and mammoth, there is increasing evidence that man appeared in Nebraska much earlier than is generally believed. Two occurrences of artifacts associated with fossil bones will constitute the main theme of this paper.

The Mounted Skeleton Of Bison Occidentalis, And Associated Dart-Points, Erwin Hinckley Barbour, C. Bertrand Schultz

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

A composite skeleton of Bison occidentalis was mounted and installed in its case on the lower floor of Morrill Hall, on April 22, 1932. The skeleton in itself is attractive because of its size and excellent preservation, and is rendered additionally interesting by two dart-points, one found under the scapula, and the other under the ribs.

A New Oreodont Slab, Erwin Hinckley Barbour, C. Bertrand Schultz

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

A slab of pale, reddish-brown sandstone, exhibiting the articulated skeletons of two oreodonts, has been placed on display in the west corridor on the first floor of Morrill Hall. Apparently, a female and well-grown young one lay down together and perished, perhaps from disease, or from chilling winds. They must have been buried quickly, for all of the bones are present, are in perfect condition, and are in articulation, especially in the old one. In the adult the articulation is complete from the ungual phalanges of the two forefeet to the terminal caudal, even though in the figure the skeleton …

The Mandible Of Platybeldon Barnumbrowni, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

Platybelodon barnumbrowni was described originally as Torynobelodon barnumbrowni.¹ The Nebraska State Museum was visited and this unique specimen studied by Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborn and Dr. Walter Granger, August seventeenth and eighteenth, nineteen hundred and thirty-two. It is the opinion of both that this specimen belongs properly to their Mongolian genus Platybelodon. With certain reservations the writer wishes to defer instantly to their judgment, which is based on unequalled experience. It is perfectly apparent that this form makes a close approach to the remarkable Platybelodons found by Granger and Andrews in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia, later figured and …

The Skull And Mandible Of Mastodon Moodiei, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

The mandible of the Milford mastodon, Mastodon moodiei, was figured and described in Bulletin 24, December, 1931. In the meantime, the fragments of both skull and mandible have been properly cleaned, put together, and mounted for exhibition. No essential parts of the skull or mandible are wanting or are seriously damaged.

The Articulated Skeleton Of Eubelodon Morrilli, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

The mounted sketleton of Eubelodon morrilli was installed in the west wall case of Elephant Hall December 31, 1931, and has attracted the attention and favorable comments of citizens and other guests. It should be explained that the case in which it is displayed is ten feet deep, sixteen feet high, and extends the length of the hall. Altogether it is a large and impressive mount which reflects credit upon its preparators, and is an important and instructive addition to the Morrill Palaeontological Collections. The pose is spirited and interesting, and the action is all that can be expected of …

Association Of An Arrow Point With Bison Occidentals In Nebraska, F. G. Meserve, Erwin H. Barbour

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

Of late, anthropological literature relative to the association of man and extinct mammals, especially bison and mammoth, has received many contributions from various and widely separated sources. Naturally the question has arisen whether man's advent in America is somewhat earlier than has been generally admitted, or whether certain extinct animals have persisted longer than has been realized. The issue is one of such importance and interest that even minor contributions seem desirable. It is well understood by all that the evidence, when submitted, will be properly weighed, and that conservative judges may rule out much or all of the testimony. …
