Evaporation And Plant Zones In The Cedar Point Marsh, Paul B. Sears Jan 1916

Evaporation And Plant Zones In The Cedar Point Marsh, Paul B. Sears

Papers in Ecology

Yapp in trying to account for the xerophytic structure of marsh plants by means of evaporation studies has shown a definite correlation to exist between the strata of marsh vegetation and rates of evaporation at corresponding levels. The following studies were made in an attempt to discover what additional correlations, if any, exist between distribution of marsh plants and the evaporational power of the air at different portions of the habitat. While the exact quantitative significance of such work as the following may be brought into question, as it often is, the striking results obtained by Transeau, Livingston, Fuller, Weaver, …

Tolstoi And The Doctrine Of Peace, S. B. Gass Oct 1915

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 …

Raising The Dairy Calf, E. G. Woodward Apr 1915

Raising The Dairy Calf, E. G. Woodward

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

There are in Nebraska more than 600,000 dairy cows. The average period of usefulness of the dairy caw is not more than eight years. This means that to maintain the dairy herds of Nebraska at their present size between 70,000 and 80,000 heifer calves must be raised each year. To mate these cows properly with dairy bred bulls will require the rearing of about 8,000 bulls yearly. Aside from the necessity of maintaining the herds at their present size, the importance of calf raising to the Nebraska dairyman lies in the fact that this is the surest and most satisfactory …

"Ground Arms", Paul H. Grummann Jan 1915

"Ground Arms", Paul H. Grummann

Mid-West Quarterly (1913–1918)

Every great' novel is born of the conviction, on the part of the author, that he has had experiences or conceptions which the race should share in the interests of a fuller manhood and womanhood. Frequently such novels are evolved in the throes of a great movement-religious, political, or social; and the novel with a purpose is the result. If these premises are correct, it would seem at first sight that the novel with a purpose is the highest type of novel, for if the novelist is the mediator of ideals, that writer who throws himself headlong into a great …

In Defence Of The Professor Who Publishes, Alvin S. Johnson Jan 1915

In Defence Of The Professor Who Publishes, Alvin S. Johnson

Mid-West Quarterly (1913–1918)

At the present time, when our whole educational system is under criticism, it would be remarkable if any tendency in university life were to escape the searching scrutiny of laity and schoolmen. University ideals and university organization have been exploited in books and articles without number. Everybody has taken part in the work of defining the respective powers of president and board, of determining the scope of student self-government, and the appropriate relations of the university to the community at large. With these large problems discussed to the point of universal exhaustion, we may well turn our attention to others, …

The Renaissance, E. Benjamin Andrews Jan 1915

The Renaissance, E. Benjamin Andrews

Mid-West Quarterly (1913–1918)

In the early part of the fifteenth century a change as subtle and indefinable as it was significant, came over the spirit of European society. Without sharp break with the past, involving no strictly new creation, no sudden or unheralded revolution of ideas, gradually rose an altered mode of viewing man, the world, life-far less theological than the old, less respectful to tradition, more confident in man's powers and future-in fine, laic and human. Renewed study of classical antiquity was sign and instrument, rather than essence, of the new movement. If men looked back, it was mostly to clear their …

The Mantle Of Browning, Hardin Craig Jan 1915

The Mantle Of Browning, Hardin Craig

Mid-West Quarterly (1913–1918)

As one grows older one becomes sadly conscious that there are problems in one's life and in society for which there is no solution in the poetry of Robert Browning. A very great deal has happened since Robert Browning wrote; and what he tells us to do is not the thing we want to do, and his presentation of the situation in which we stand is not one that commends itself as entirely adequate. Part of the great outcry for the practical with its too wholesale rejection of the idealistic teachings of the last century, is a definite feeling that …

The Ideal Of Peace, S. B. Gass Jan 1915

The Ideal Of Peace, S. B. Gass

Mid-West Quarterly (1913–1918)

The present temper of peace-loving America is very close to that of a nation on the brink of war. There is something in it almost baffling to one who has thought of his countrymen as a people to be saved from excess by a cool humour. No doubt their moral sympathies have been deeply stirred by the present conflict. Many of their prepossessions have been shocked, and one at least has been quite shattered. It had been hoped in many quarters that the age of war had passed, that international understanding and economic interdependence had made an open breach between …

Nebraska Green Quartzite An Import Ant Future Industry, Erwin H. Barbour

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

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 Jan 1915

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 Jan 1915

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 Round Ligament Of Nebraska Proboscideans, Erwin H. Barbour Jan 1915

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.

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

Joseph Chamberlain, The Radical, Cephas D. Allin Jan 1915

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 …
