Goticism In Matthew G. Lewis's The Monk & Related Works, Larry Harrel

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Lewis repeatedly revealed himself to be concerned with effect: in his statement that he desired to increase effect by heightening the color of The Monk and in his statements concerning his goal in The Castle Spectre there is the recurrent theme of desire to horrify. This desire has been shown to grow out of the aesthetic ideal of sublimity which was developed in years preceding The Monk. The implicit defect in this concept is that it may be used to justify sensational works which lack lasting merit, as was largely the case with The Castle Spectre, not …

American Intercollegiate Debate: A General Survey With Emphasis On Past & Present Controversies, 1892-1968, Carolyn Harrison

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Since its inception, intercollegiate debate has not only survived storms of controversy and periods of great change but has grown and matured into a vital part of almost every speech department across the country. Today, tournaments are more numerous than ever; the debaters are more plentiful and just as enthusiastic (even if spectators are not). Even though intercollegiate debate has withstood the struggles of its beginning and the ensuing growing pains, maturity has not brought an end to the problems and controversies. Many present day controversies--such as the value of debate, the value of the tournaments, and the type of …

Crossed Field Trochoidal Trajectory Devices For Investigating The Reflection Of Slow Electrons From Metallic Surfaces, Stan Lemaster

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The objective of this study was to build preliminary devices . which could be used to measure electron reflection coefficient values using crossed electric and magnetic fields. The technique for using crossed fields to measure reflection coefficients was developed at Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories.

An Analysis Of Potential Factors Influencing A Beginner's Choice Of Preferred Contest Throws After Seven Weeks Of Instruction In The Sport Of Judo, William Saville

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

There is an apparent cycle in the history and appeal of a particular sport. When this cycle is completed there is a need for re-examination and change to initiate a further cycle.

Solid State Electrolysis Of Yttria Stablized Zirconia, John Newman

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Zirconium dioxide, or zirconia, is seemingly an ideal refractory oxide, having a high melting point (2680°C), low thermal expansion and also a considerable resistance to most forms of chemical attack. Early researchers soon found that zirconia, in the pure form, was actually of very limited use as a refractory because of sudden and disruptive volume changes accompanying a change in crystal structure which occurs at a temperature of about 1100 o C. It was discovered that this crystal structure change could be suppressed by the addition of one of a number of alkaline earth or rare earth oxides. These additive …

Joseph Rogers Underwood - A Representative Nineteenth Century American, Ralph Ward Brashear

History Theses

Many men throughout history have been on the verge of greatness only to pass into oblivion because of convictions which would not let them compromise with expediency. Joseph Rogers Underwood was such a man, for he placed great importance upon duty, integrity and responsibility. The high values which he placed upon these virtues cost him the renomination for senator by the Kentucky Legislature in 1851. As the Louisville Daily Democrat, an opposition newspaper, so brilliantly stated about this election:

"The whig (sic) party in the Legislature have at last compromised the divisions among themselves, and elected a Senator nobody …
