Ex Oriente Lux: Eastern Teachings Offer A Renaissance In Higher Education, Henry Winthrop

Perspectives (1969-1979)

With Yoga and Karate the educational staple of all citizens, the achievement of the good life is assured. When that time comes the words of one of our patriotic songs will carry their most impressive meaning. "Oh, beautiful for spacious skies" will then refer to the first national community that succeeded in making full est use of man's hidden powers via the method of universal spiritual education.

What Is Relevant In General And Liberal Education, Benjamin E. Mays

Perspectives (1969-1979)

We hear a great deal today about relevant education. We often hear our students say that this course or this curriculum is not relevant to our needs. They are all too often right. Our courses of study should meet the current needs of our students and prepare them as much as possible to do the work of the world that needs to be done.

Scholarship And Ideology, Bhikhu Parekh

Perspectives (1969-1979)

One of the most distinctive characteristics of the modern university is the tremendous emphasis placed on research, on "expanding the frontiers of knowledge." The faculty has argued, and the university authorities have in many cases accepted, that research is the only worth-while academic activity and that the university largely exists simply to promote it. In its name the faculty has sometimes even ignored, with official connivance, many of its academic obligations. Although, from the standpoint of the university, teaching is more important, research has become a new industry, a new god whose directives, it is believed, only the illiterate could …

Learning To Swim, Richard R. Williams

Perspectives (1969-1979)

For, regardless of the current flurry of excitement concerning new directions in teaching and learning, I feel that we are still adrift and perilously off course when it comes to assessing what is in our best interest. Almost everyone nowadays is talking about educational reforms and there is a good deal of agreement that change must be in the direction of fostering more humanistic, life-enhancing processes.

An old …

Synthesis And Structure Proof Of Cis-6,6-Dichloro-2-Diphenylmethylene- Bicyclo [3.2.0] Hept-3-Ene-7-One And Cis-2,2- Dichloro- 1,2,2a,7a-Tetrahydro- 7-Diphenylmethylene-Cyclobut (A) Inden-1-0ne, William Douglas Barta

Masters Theses

Introduction

The purpose of this research endeavor was to determine the structures of the adducts of dichloroketene with diphenylfulvene and benzodiphenylfulvene. Structure elucidation was attempted by chemical degradation and nmr analysis.

The structures of the adducts of dichloroketene with cyclopentadiene^1,2 and indene^3,4 have been determined by previous workers. The influence of the exocyclic double bond on the mode of cycloaddition is unknown.

The Biodegradability Of Detergents And The Effects Of Biodegradable Detergents Upon Root Elongation Of Certain Plants, Nancy Lou Bishop

Masters Theses

The effects of three biodegradable detergents upon root elongation of Cucumis sativus and Avena sativa was determined. All three detergents inhibit root elongation; the degree of inhibition depends on the brand of detergent and the species tested. Contact of the detergents with a sandy-loam results in reversal of inhibition of root elongation; the degree of reversal varies with detergent and species. However, reversal after 48 hours contact with soil does not appear to be due to degradation by microorganisms. Effects of aeration and of pH on test solutions are discussed.
