Science And Social Relevance, Gerald Holton

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Featured Address presented at the Association for General and Liberal Studies' Annual Meeting at Colgate University, October 30th through November 1st, 1969.

Having struggled myself with various experiments in General Education over the years, what I'd like to talk about today are not any of the successes but rather some of the problems, particularly the problems that I see coming to us faster and faster in this business of bringing education in science to students who, many of them, are turning away from science and all it stands for.

A Multi-Media Approach To Reading, Lucetta A. Johnson

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

As a new teacher in the Allegan Public Schools one of the primary goals for the year was to present reading activities to the children in as many interesting ways as possible to enrich their reading experiences. A multi-media approach was chosen to accomplish this goal and to encourage the children to love books. By multi-media approach (1) is meant an approach that uses as many printed and audiovisual forms of communication as possible. The program used consisted of the following media, which are by no means all that are currently available: Basal Readers, Library Books, Film Strips, Educational Television, …

Needed For The 1970'S: An Educational Policy For The Social Sciences*, Claude S. Phillips Jr.

Perspectives (1969-1979)

The list of efforts at intercultural education is almost limitless. The impact of these efforts has been so meager as to be startling. Conferences are still being convened to study the problem of how to incorporate intercultural studies into the educational system.

Only In Our Learning-The Purpose Of An Academic Community, Harris L. Wofford Jr.

Perspectives (1969-1979)

The search for truth is indeed the highest purpose of an academic community; it is truth as a question that can make man free. This is the vision without which people perish. Without it, we in our multiversities may win the world but lose our souls. Yet it is this basic idea of a community of scholars that is in clear and present danger.

Science As A Liberal Study, James E. Trosko

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Panel 4 presented at the Association for General and Liberal Studies' Annual Meeting at Colgate University, October 30th through November 1st, 1969.

Many educators recognize that, although elements ( facts, etc.) are needed in order to express or create, these things alone are not enough . Since connections of the mind are probably made from some sources of discipline, the phrase, in and of itself, expresses some truth. However, this facile phrase is too often used to mean the instructor who knows the substance of his discipline extremely well, can use that substance, and that alone, to educate his students. …

The Role Of The Undergraduate College In Social Change, Kenneth E. Boulding, John Weiss

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Panel 1 presented at the Association for General and Liberal Studies' Annual Meeting at Colgate University, October 30th through November 1st, 1969.

All social change, without exception, involves a process in human learning. Social change, indeed, is an evolutionary process in the field of the "noosphere," especially if we include in this those human artifacts which are the result of imprinting human knowledge on the material and social world.

We ought to be clear at the start that the academic disciplines and the undergraduate college have not had any great impact on social change. Historically, social change in our culture …

Science & Technology In Education: What Kind Of A Marriage Is This?, Franklin G. Fisk

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Science as a human activity can help give us answers to adequate technologies in the classroom, but only if the nature of the scientific enterprise is properly recognized for what it is: A human approach to the world of sense experience with certain definite but necessary biases involving the creative use of hypothesis and theory in conjunction with valid generalizations and accurate data. All this is science, man is a part of it, and I firmly believe that science is one of man's most successful attempts to understand the world in which he lives.

The Effect Of The Rate Of Formation On The Structure And Properties Of Paper, William M. Reif

Masters Theses

Paper contains an uneven distribution of fiber fractions through its cross section. The objective of this study was to determine how the rate of formation affected the structure and properties of paper. The structure of paper was analyzed with reference to the cross-sectional distribution of fines and the fines to long fibers ratio in the paper.

The formation rate and distribution of fins were varied by applying a vacuum to the British sheetmold system. As the fines were a different color than the long fibers, their distribution was determined by analyzing the brightness values of layers split from the paper. …

Dimethyl Sulfoxide Oxydation Of Hydroxy-Steroids And Studies On The Oxidation Of The 5’–Hydroxy Group Of Nucleosides, Carmen V. Zenarosa

Dissertations

Introduction

In our earlier work we demonstrated the usefulness of the acidcatalyzed reaction between N-(p -tolyl)diphenylketenimine (21) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for the oxidation of secondary alcohols. This was exemplified by the oxidation of 2',3'-O-isopropylideneadenosine and other secondary alcohols.¹ We have now extended this procedure to the oxidation of hydroxy-steroids.

Alkynylamines or ynamines can be written in two resonance forms: R-C≡C-N R'₂ and R-C=C=NR'₂. Because of the close similarity between the latter structure and the structure of a ketenimine (R₂C=C=N-R') and the ability of sulfoxide-ketenimine to effect the oxidation of secondary alcohols, we …
