The Russian Merchant Marine, Edwin Maxey

Mid-West Quarterly (1913–1918)

The rise of the Russian merchant marine is more intimately bound up with national politics than is that of any other of the merchant marines of the world. It will be necessary, therefore, in discussing its development, to call attention to the political conditions which furnished the impetus to the development of the merchant fleets of Russia. The subject, in other words, is not purely a business one, but is in part political.

Poetry And Archaeology, Robert Shafer

Mid-West Quarterly (1913–1918)

Undoubtedly archaeology is a strange word for anyone to be using in connection with the poetry of men like Mr. Masefield or Mr. Gibson; and probably it were well to explain immediately what I mean in using it. Unless I am much mistaken, both archaeology, in the ordinary sense of the word, and naturalism were born of that prolific mother of strange children, the Romantic Movement. And more than this, besides having the same mother the two are so remarkably alike as to make me suspect that they must be twins.

College Study Of English, Alfred D. Sheffield

Mid-West Quarterly (1913–1918)

College study, as we judge it by the quality of intellectual leaven that our young graduates bring into society, is still a theme of discontent. In particular, we feel that the college study of literature and of the literary medium foments no genuine social demand for books and writing of the highest scholarly and reflective type. The criticisms voicing this discontent, it is true, often imply unreasonable expectations as to what the college can achieve with studies elective and students not particularly elect. "We require it to do all sorts of things for all sorts of people, and then wonder …

The Modern Ideal Of Culture, Edward A. Thurber

Mid-West Quarterly (1913–1918)

A definition of modern culture as something realised and actual ought not to be too elusive, especially as it can be spoken of in concrete terms. It is possible to point to certain men and say, "There are cultivated men; the qualities they possess evidently go to make up culture." By way of approach, suppose we recall Matthew Arnold's sentence: "Notwithstanding the mighty results of the Pilgrim Fathers' voyage, they and their standard of perfection are rightly judged when we figure to ourselves Shakespeare or Virgil - souls in whom sweetness and light, and all that in human nature is …

Plant Tissue In The Carboniferous Shales Of Nebraska, Erwin H. Barbour

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

While exploring the newly discovered Eurypterid beds,¹ just one mile south of Peru, Nebraska. November 8, 1912, the writer found unusual amounts of actual plant tissue of Carboniferous age. It seems incredible that it should have been preserved through such a lapse of time. Only the most resistant tissue could have endured. When freshly cleaved, the Eurypterid shales reveal innumerable bits and patches of it, mostly bright red in color.

A New Longisrostral Mastodon From Cherry County, Nebraska, Erwin H. Barbour

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

During the season of 1914, field work in the fossil regions was pushed less vigorously than usual owing to lack of funds. Nevertheless some interesting and valuable material was obtained by the Nebraska Geological Survey, notably the great mandible of a new longirostral mastodon from Cherry County, together with associated tusk and bones.

Notice Of Jelly Fishes In The Carboniferous Of Nebraska, Medusina Walcotti, Erwin H. Barbour

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

In visiting the quarries of the State, certain quadripartite objects suggesting the form of jelly fishes have long attracted the writer's attention. They are large and coarse, and were assumed to be imitative concretions. However, the total number observed seems to strengthen the probability that they are of organic origin. In the fall of 1913, while conducting a field class through the Burlington Quarries, located about two miles northwest of South Bend, they were noted again in a new locality, and three specimens were obtained. Two of these were unusual examples, and showed sufficient structure to identify them with the …

Studies Of North American Bees, Myron Harmon Swenk

University Studies (University of Nebraska) (1888–1984)

The present paper is the second of the series proposed in a previous contribution on the family Nomadidae (antea, XII, pp. 1- 113 ) , and aims to tabulate and list the bees of the family Stelididae occurring in Nebraska, together with annotations concerning their distribution, comparative abundance and season of flight. As in the previous study, records and descriptions of specimens from outside Nebraska before the writer are included where these seem to add anything to our knowledge of the species concerned.

A New Longisrostral Mastodon From Cherry County, Nebraska, E. H. Barbour

During the season of 1914, field work in the fossil regions was pushed less vigorously than usual owing to lack of funds. N evertheless some interesting and valuable material was obtained by the N ebraska Geological Survey, notably the great mandible of a new longirostral mastodon from Cherry County, together with associated tusk and bones.

The mastodon constituting the basis of this paper was found in the exposnres bordering the Snake River in section 33, range 30 west, and township 32 north. The talus slope was strewn with fragments of the tusk and bone of a mastodon. This led the …

Two New Fossil Dogs Of The Genus Cynarctus From Nebraska, Erwin H. Barbour, Harold J. Cook

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

The genus Cynarctus was founded by Dr. W. D. Matthew on a nearly complete pair of lower jaws from the Pawnee Creek Beds (Middle Miocene) of Colorado, found in 1901. Since that time no new material pertaining to this genus has been reported. Dr. Matthew referred the genus to the subfamily Amphicyoninae, and to a position intermediate between the primitive bear Ursavus, and the Canidae, with primitive characters retained from its Oligocene ancestors.
