A Brief Sketch Of The Life And Work Of Charles Edwin Bessey, Raymond J. Pool
A Brief Sketch Of The Life And Work Of Charles Edwin Bessey, Raymond J. Pool
Papers in Systematics and Biological Diversity
Charles Edwin Bessey, professor of botany and head of the department of botany in the University of Nebraska since 1884 and a conspicuous figure in American science and education, passed away at his home in Lincoln on February 25, 1915, after a critical illness of four weeks.
The Bessey family is of French extraction, the original form of the name being Besse. The tradition is that the early members of the family, who were Huguenots, were compelled on account of religious persecution to flee to England from the old home near Strassburg in Alsace. This exodus occurred in the latter …
Tolstoi And The Doctrine Of Peace, S. B. Gass
Tolstoi And The Doctrine Of Peace, S. B. Gass
Mid-West Quarterly (1913–1918)
Nowhere in modern times, I dare say, have the ideals that the current war in Europe has violated found a more moving exposition than in the later works of Tolstoi. Is war right ? Are any of our hopes, or beliefs, or ideas worth fighting for? Tolstoi spent the last thirty years of his life giving these old and almost trite questions an impassioned negative. It is impossible to say what his influence has been. No corner of the world but has his admirers, even his disciples. The cult of peace has perhaps never had so many followers. And yet …
American Traits As Seen By The French, George D. Morris
American Traits As Seen By The French, George D. Morris
Mid-West Quarterly (1913–1918)
Long before the vogue of Taine's theory of literary criticism made it incumbent on the critic to explain the characteristics of his author by race, milieu, and moment, many of his compatriots had already employed the method-in so far, at least, as the element of environment is concerned--in attempting to account for the peculiarities of American novelists. Each of these attempts, whether it was successful or not, gives us a glimpse of the author's conception of the American people. If we supplement the information obtained in this way with that contained in the direct affirmations which they …

Joseph Chamberlain, The Radical, Cephas D. Allin
Mid-West Quarterly (1913–1918)
The approaching retirement of Joseph Chamberlain from the House of Commons awakens a sympathetic interest throughout the world. It is pathetic indeed to see the oft-victorious warrior stricken down and borne from the field at the very moment of the triumph of his political foes. Time has turned against the venerable statesman. The principles for which he so stoutly fought are apparently going down to defeat. The Home Rule question, which he had hoped was buried, has risen again to haunt his declining days. The policy of preferential trade, to which he owes his imperial reputation, has been practically set …
Nietzsche, P. H. Frye
Nietzsche, P. H. Frye
Mid-West Quarterly (1913–1918)
On account of the attention which Nietzsche has been attracting of late, the occasion seems a favourable one for reviewing once more his life and work. In a letter to one of his acquaintances, written in March, 1884, he himself prophesies with the proverbial modesty of genius that" in fifty years, perhaps, will the eyes of some few (or of one, for it requires genius) be opened to what has been done through me. For the present, however, it is not only difficult but quite impossible (in accordance with the laws of 'perspective') to speak of me publicly without falling …

ln southern Harlan and Franklin counties, there occur many acres of green quartzite which must be of commercial consequence when made available. It is a neglected resource upon which important industries are sure to be based. With the development of this bed in view, the Nebraska Geological Survey has examined this area. and through this leaflet wishes to place the results before possible investors.

Nebraska Fossils Which Excite Common Inquiry, Erwin H. Barbour
Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications
This paper must not be mistaken for a report on the fossils of Nebraska. It is merely a circular letter to correspondents describing and figuring those fossils only which occasion frequent comment. In two recent papers of the Survey consideration was given to the common minerals and rocks of Nebraska, and it seems opportune to briefly discuss our fossils in a like manner. Probably no other State can boast of such a well-preserved and varied fauna.
Nebraska Rocks Which Excite Common Inquiry, Erwin H. Barbour
Nebraska Rocks Which Excite Common Inquiry, Erwin H. Barbour
Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications
This leaflet it intended to serve as an answer to correspondents who make inquiry about the rocks of Nebraska1. Unfortunately for those interested in such matters, the rocks of the State are few in number, and are deeply buried from view by sand and soil, so there are thousands of square miles in which even a pebble is a rarity. That our rocks are level and undisturbed is practically true. Still there are some surprisingly interesting folds and faults.

The Minerals, Rocks, and Fossils of Nebraska, which Excite Common Inquiry, are treated brefly in leaflets numbered 37, 37a, 37b, respectively. These are intended to serve as circular letters to correspondents. Possibly they may prove to be acceptable and helpful in a measure to teachers and others who conduct parties of school children on field excursions.
The Round Ligament Of Nebraska Proboscideans, Erwin H. Barbour
The Round Ligament Of Nebraska Proboscideans, Erwin H. Barbour
Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications
Comparisons of the acetabula of various mastodons and mammoths common to Nebraska show conclusively that absence of the round ligament is not a characteristic of the proboscidea, as generally accepted. From the specimens in our collections, there is evidence that the ligament was not on! y present, but was uncommonly large and well developed in the earlier Nebraska proboscideans. Examination of material collected since 1891, and preserved in the cabinets of the Nebraska State Museum. and the Morrill Geological Collections, makes it apparent that all Nebraska proboscideans had round ligaments, though perhaps the latest survivors did not.

During the field season of 1913, while exploring the Pliocene beds of Brown County, Mr. A. C. Whitford, a Fellow in the Department of Geology, University of Nebraska, discovered the mandible of a new machaerodont cat. His work in this region was in the interest of the Nebraska Geological Survey and the Morrill Geological Expeditions.1
A Phenomenon Of The Kansan Drift In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
A Phenomenon Of The Kansan Drift In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour
Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications
Among the minor phenomena of the glacial drift in Nebraska there is one which, though rarely observed by the public, is of interest and should be commended to the attention of naturalists. The reference here is to certain large, well-defined masses or blocks of such materials as sand, gravel, and coarse pebbles, which occur imbedded in the drift clays along with glacial bowlders, and which presumably have been similarly transported and deposited. These masses or blocks vary widely in color, texture, and kind. They also vary from the glacial matrix in which they are found and are the more striking …
Charles Peirce At Johns Hopkins, Ellery W. Davis
Charles Peirce At Johns Hopkins, Ellery W. Davis
Mid-West Quarterly (1913–1918)
In the company of scholars and investigators which Daniel Coit Gilman gathered at Baltimore in the seventies and eighties was Charles S. S. Peirce, son of the Harvard mathematician, Benjamin Peirce, and considered by Sylvester (surely a capable judge) “a far greater mathematician than his father.” But great though his mathematical powers were, it is not they alone which chiefly distinguished him among the scientists of his generation. Mathematics was simply one of the many fields of thought tilled by his active brain. At Harvard it was in chemistry that he had chiefly distinguished himself, but it might as well …
The Storage And Use Of Soil Moisture. Report Of Experimental Substation, North Platte, Nebraska, W. W. Burr
The Storage And Use Of Soil Moisture. Report Of Experimental Substation, North Platte, Nebraska, W. W. Burr
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins
The profitable cultivation of the non-irrigable lands in west central and western Nebraska is limited by the amount and efficient use of the precipitation. There are tracts of land in the sand hills and minor tracts of badly worn heavier soils where the need of soil fertility is becoming evident. But, in the main, the great problem at present is not one of soil fertility, but of how to get enough water to make use of the fertility now present. The rainfall of this section, which varies from an actual shortage to seldom more than a meager sufficiency, makes it …
Iii. Phase Change By Reflection – Primarily In The Ultra-Violet, Oliver Gish
Iii. Phase Change By Reflection – Primarily In The Ultra-Violet, Oliver Gish
Department of Physics and Astronomy: Faculty Publications
The first quantitative investigation of absolute phase change was made by Quinckel in 1872. This was followed by that of Wernicke, Wiener, Glan, Hennig, Drude, Koenigsberger and Bender. All these investigations were confined to the visible spectrum except that of Koenigsberger and Bender, who, in addition, measured for a few substances the phase change in the infra-red. So far no measurements of this phenomenon have been made in the ultra-violet.
Theories Of Cosmic Evolution, Ellery W. Davis
Theories Of Cosmic Evolution, Ellery W. Davis
Mid-West Quarterly (1913–1918)
The framing of theories is an occupation in which men like to indulge. To imagine how things may have come about is probably the nearest approach to a creative act to which we finite beings will ever attain; and the field of astronomy has been an especially tempting one in which to try our creative powers. We like to do things on a large scale; and it is quite as easy to construct, in imagination, a planet or a solar system as something less pretentious. From the first men have been explaining how the cosmos came to be; naturally these …

Puero Reverentia, Philo M. Buck, Jr.
Mid-West Quarterly (1913–1918)
"The kindergarten is no longer an experiment. Critics may say what they will about its being a waste of time, an opportunity to play under unnatural conditions; they may assert that the work done by the child there is purposeless, that the child is too old when he enters; in short, they may empty every chamber of their wrath; yet the fact still stands that children who have gone through the kindergarten in the normal way are better and stronger physically, mentally, and morally when they enter the grades than those who have had no such training. This has been …
