Concise Abstraction: J.D. Salinger, Michael J. Durkin

Honors Theses

The works of J, D. Salinger have progressed in several ways from his earliest published works. The subject matter has changed in an attempt to meet the purposes of the author, and I believe that these stales or purposes of the author fit into four main groups—the observer, the philosopher, the preacher, and the mystic.

The Teacher's Role In Liberal Education, James Redfield

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Liberal Education does not concern itself with the process by which people come to be able to do what is required of them; liberal education is the process by which people come to be excellent. Servile education makes a man useful to other people; liberal education makes him satisfactory to himself.

Case Studies Of The Influence Of Reading On Adolescents, Fehl L. Shirley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In a study of the impact of reading on the concepts, attitudes, and behavior of adolescents, it was found that students exhibited varying responses from ambiguous, general, indifferent reactions to highly significant dimensions of self-involvement. Some subjects stated that no specific selection had influenced their concepts, attitudes or behavior; the responses of these students were frequently vague and appeared to disclose an indifferent attitude toward reading. On the other hand, the verbalizations of others appeared to reveal empathy and intense participation in their reading which, sometimes, led to reoriented goals and actions implementing these goals.

Grammar With Grace, Louis Foley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In the field of education it has been assumed that raising the educational level of teachers is directly related to the improvement of pupil achievement. Metzner, in the October issue of Phi Delta Kappan~ discredits this assumption when he points out that, "Regardless of what criteria are used, the irrelevance of the amount of teacher training to teaching success becomes increasingly evident the more one consults the pertinent research." In substantiating this statement he cites seventeen apparently well-designed and controlled investigations.

How The Younger Generation Is Being Corrupted, Henry Winthrop

Perspectives (1969-1979)

A brief synopsis of this cesspool of corruption; and so doing, I can serve in a small way to help the undergraduate to steer clear of the baneful intellectual and cultural influences to which he may be subjected during his four years at college.

An Environment For Environmental Studies, John Freund

Perspectives (1969-1979)

If we think of a liberal education as one which seeks to provide human beings with a means for realizing their humanity, we must recognize immediately that our educational institutions are completely out of it. It is not just that they aren't doing the job. They are in another ball park, playing a duller-and dirtier-game.

One of the rules of the game they are playing is that everyone must pretend that whatever is going on constitutes a liberal education. This doesn't really fool very many people, but it introduces so many irrelevancies into any discussion of the matter that coming …

A Study Of The Relationship Between The Sugar Content Of Enzyme Converted Starch And Pick Values Of A Coated Sheet, David A. Mrochek

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The purpose of this experiment was to convert starch by the use of enzyme. The conversion was carried out in a way to produce variations in the reducing sugar contents of the cooked starch. These starches were then applied as the adhesive in a coating mixture. Draw downs were made using the variety of coatings and then the sheets were tested for surface strength. The IGT Pick Tested was used. It was hoped that a definite relationship between sugar contents and pick values could be obtained. This, however, was not the case and the experiment would have to be considered …

Reading Around The World, Wilhelmina Faunce

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Several years ago while driving through Scotland, I saw boys and girls neatly dressed in their school uniforms with book-bags over their shoulders, obviously on their way to school. The thought occurred to me that it would be very interesting to know how children in other parts of the world were being taught. This year when my husband was invited to direct an alumni world tour during the spring term, I decided this was the chance of a lifetime to incorporate into the trip a study in comparative education.
