Joseph Smith As An Administrator, Gary Dean Guthrie Jan 1969

Joseph Smith As An Administrator, Gary Dean Guthrie

Theses and Dissertations

From extensive research undertaken by Rensis Likert at the University of Michigan, a modified theory of administration has been developed which seeks to build upon all that worked best in previous approaches to administration.

Sufficient information from the writings of Joseph Smith, from diaries and journals of those who worked under his leadership have been used in this thesis and compared with the model of administration proposed by Likert. The results of this work were that Joseph Smith in his administration most often used a leadership approach described by Likert as Consultative and Participative.

This thesis also presents a model …

A Study Of Factors Which May Influence Attitudes Of Lds Teen-Agers Toward Family Home Evening, Don Leroy Miller Jan 1969

A Study Of Factors Which May Influence Attitudes Of Lds Teen-Agers Toward Family Home Evening, Don Leroy Miller

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to identify factors related to attitudes of teenagers toward the Family Home Evening Program of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Hypotheses involving the relationships of certain factors to attitudes toward home evening were tested.

A cluster sample of twenty-three ninth grade classes was selected and data were gathered through use of a questionnaire. Statistics used in analysis of data included the Pearsonian product moment correlation coefficient, and analysis of variance. Responses to open-end questions were content analyzed by three independent judges.

Findings suggest that perceived participation by teenagers in planning and …

A Study To Establish Criteria For Creating Thematic Literature Units Appropriate To Lds Secondary Schools In The South Pacific, And The Creation Of Three Such Units, Ronald F. Malan Jan 1969

A Study To Establish Criteria For Creating Thematic Literature Units Appropriate To Lds Secondary Schools In The South Pacific, And The Creation Of Three Such Units, Ronald F. Malan

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was twofold: (a) to develop criteria for creating thematic literature units appropriate to the English language facility and to the culture of students in the LDS secondary schools in the South Pacific, and (b) to create three thematic literature units at the Form 5 (11th grade) level which would exemplify the recommended criteria.
An analysis of questionnaire responses revealed that a concept-centered approach to literature should take precedence, with geographical literature—especially Polynesian—also receiving emphasis. Less attention should be given to developing skill in literary analysis, and more focus placed upon systematically reinforcing other language arts …

To The Members And Friends Of The Sahs,, Lukas F. Burckhardt

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

One of the main purposes of the Swiss American Historical Society and of its Newsletter is to draw the attention of Swiss and friends of Switzerland, who are interested in Swiss American history and cultural relations, to recent publications in this field. We again have a good occasion to do this. Professor Leo Schelbert, our Secretary, has kindly arranged for us reprints of his recent article on the emigration of the Swiss Mennonites to America (see under II.). Our member Fritz Blum has given us copies of a special issue on Switzerland of the New York paper for which he …

Captain Henry Wirz And The Andersonville-Trial, Rolf Kieser

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

This article was first published in German in the "Schweizerische Zeitschrift fur Geschichte", Band 18, Heft 1, 1968. As a subscriber to this review I immediately inquired, after having read the article, about the possibility to get reprints for our members, but it was already too late. Dr. Kieser, however, kindly made an English version of his article for the benefit of our readers. We thank Dr. Kieser for this fine contribution to our Newsletter. For the many scholarly notes to this article we refer to the German original in the Schwei zerische Zeitschrift fur Geschichte which, on this occasion …

Eighteenth Century Migration Of Swiss Mennonites To America, Leo Schelbert Dec 1968

Eighteenth Century Migration Of Swiss Mennonites To America, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

You all know Professor Schelbert's unique familiarity with Swiss emigration history from his earlier publications and lectures. Here he treats a subject of particular interest to us, i.e. the history of a significant group of immigrants from Switzerland driven out of their home country by religious motivations to a new continent in which they were allowed to live according to their religious convictions and where , by their genuinely honest way of life, they have made a lasting contribution to the development of that idealistic touch in the American character upon which much of our hope for a more peaceful …

A Study Of Reaction Parameters In The Hydrogenation Of Acetic Acid By Rhenium Heptoxide Catalyst, Victor L. Mylroie Aug 1968

A Study Of Reaction Parameters In The Hydrogenation Of Acetic Acid By Rhenium Heptoxide Catalyst, Victor L. Mylroie

Theses and Dissertations

Rhenium oxides as well as other rhenium compounds are known to display a broad spectrum of catalytic activity,^25 being resistant to attack by acids under nonoxidizing conditions, and showing a remarkable ability to resist poisoning which is a serious limiting factor in many commonly used catalysts. Rhenium catalysts are cheaper than the platinum metals with the exception of palladium. One of the most remarkable properties of the rhenium catalyst is the ability to catalyze the hydrogenation of carboxylic acids and amides to the corresponding alcohols and amines respectively. The carboxyl group (-COOH) is notoriously difficult to reduce catalytically and most …

A Study Of Multiple Embryo Development In The Netleaf Hackberry (Celtis Reticulata), Gary Porter Lawrence Aug 1968

A Study Of Multiple Embryo Development In The Netleaf Hackberry (Celtis Reticulata), Gary Porter Lawrence

Theses and Dissertations

Previous research has shown that polyembryony occurs in many species of the Ulmaceae. The purpose of this study was to determine the method of multiple embryo formation in netleaf hackberry, Celtis reticulata Torr. Collections of specimens were made throughout a two-year period. Collections were begun in early spring while the trees were still in the bud state. Collections were continued regularly throughout the growing season. The collections were preserved in FAA solution and were prepared for microscopic examination as follows: (1) The tertiary butyl paraffin method was used for dehydrating and embedding. (2) Sectioning was done on a rotary microtome …

Theses and Dissertations

A new isothermal titration calorimeter has been designed to facilitate the study of heats of reaction and heats of solution at constant temperature. With this calorimeter, endothermic or exothermic processes can be studied at temperatures constant to ±0.0002°C. Heat effects are compensated by balancing the heat effect of the process taking place in the calorimeter against a variable heat and a constant cooling Peltier device. The calorimeter was tested by measuring the heat of ionization of water and the heat of dilution of aqueous HClO_4 solutions. For these systems heats were measured to an accuracy of ±0.02 calorie. Log K, …

Theses and Dissertations

The first hemoflagellate was discovered by Valentine in 1841; two years later Gruby established the genus Trypanosoma for a flagel-late in the blood of frogs, and in 1879 Lewis in India described Try-panosoma lewisi Kent of the rat (Belding, 1965:141).
