Recent Developments In X-Rays, Orville G. Mcmillan
Recent Developments In X-Rays, Orville G. Mcmillan
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The Geissler tube is the pioneer of many wonderful discoveries and speculations. The close study given to the discharge tube has been repaid by the manifold achievements of scientists following Roentgen’s investigations. Many theories have been offered to account for the nature of X-rays though none have satisfactorily explained the phenomena. With the discovery that they can be reflected and diffracted from crystals, increased interest has been shown in the attempt to reconcile certain theories with the observed facts. The classical electron theory and the quantum principles are now used though they appear to conflict with each other in certain …
Philippine Education Prior To Magellan., Morris Uberta Lively
Philippine Education Prior To Magellan., Morris Uberta Lively
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In studying the culture of any people we learn that no group has been absolutely independent of influences from other people. No man indeed can say that he has attained anything of value absolutely by himself; an individual must give credit to the contributions of other men, nations and races of people past and present. So must a nation glean its culture from that of other people. The Roman Empire is a splendid example of this gleaning of culture. Their culture came from contributions made by the Greeks, the Jews and from the people of northern Africa as well as …
Shakespeare's Elizabethan Public., Joseph Anderson Burns
Shakespeare's Elizabethan Public., Joseph Anderson Burns
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Of all the arts drama is the most democratic. Other forms of artistic and aesthetic expression, literature, music, painting, may be cultivated in solitude. Not so the drama. It is demanded by the public; produced for the public and unless it is approved by the public its doom is certain. Why it is that the drama cannot at any time break away from the tastes, prejudices, and ideals of the public for which it was written, M. Edelstand Du Meril has clearly state: “But the inspiration of the work (the drama) hasn’t at all that egotistical spirit, disdainful of the …
Word-Play In Shakespeare., Mary E. Burton
Word-Play In Shakespeare., Mary E. Burton
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A careful perusal of Shakespeare’s works leads to one outstanding conclusion. Shakespeare was preeminently interested in words, as such. His every play shows a painstaking attention to words in their various shades of meaning. It is our interest to present some definite proof of this extraordinary emphasis on words, and to attempt in a small way to explain the reason for this particular trait of Shakespeare’s. Certainly as skillful a playwright as he would not have included so many carefully planned word-plays in his dramas if the audience of the time were not interested in the language itself as well …
John Donne The Preacher., Dick Houston Hall
John Donne The Preacher., Dick Houston Hall
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In the year 1573 when Shakespeare and Marlowe were already boys of nine, Chapman in adolescence, Spenser, Lyly and Richard Hooker men of twenty, John Donne, then important to only a few but destined to the company of royalty, was born. Walton says, in his very excellent but inadequate and often inaccurate “Lives of Dr. John Donne, etc.,” that his father as descended “from an ancient and worth family in Wales.” Gosse, however, calls this simply “a pious wish” because nothing is known of his father’s parentage. He was prosperous iron merchant of London, who died in 1576 leaving his …
A Chemical And Morphological Study Of Grindelia Squarrosa (Pursh) Dunal, Marcus A. Chase
A Chemical And Morphological Study Of Grindelia Squarrosa (Pursh) Dunal, Marcus A. Chase
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A species of Grindelia known as Gum, Rosin or Tar weed, is of common occurrence on dry banks and sandy soils in various parts of South Dakota. During day seasons it attains such a dense growth in closely cropped pastures that horses feeding in them have their heads and manes covered with a black tarry-like substance, and their fetlocks collects fairly large ball of this tarry mass. In dry years the development of the weed is so rapid that the grass in a closely cropped pasture may be nearly exterminated during a single season. A pasture may seem to be …

The Effect Of Endocrines Upon Animal Behavior., J. Hubert Geyer
The Effect Of Endocrines Upon Animal Behavior., J. Hubert Geyer
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
It is not the primary purpose of this present work to treat the problem of the evolution of behavior, but rather to give an analysis of animal behavior as observed. These observations may appear as simple tests, but they make possible a new way to measure the capacity and determine the rate of learning by the animal mind. Progress in learning takes place through increased variety and precision of the movements brought about by stimulation and is very clearly observed in Amoeba, where we find the production of varied movements and the resolution of one physiological state into another. Thus …
The Influence Of The Diet Of The Cow And The Effect Of Heat Upon The Antiscorbutic Potency Of Milk, Lynn Copeland
The Influence Of The Diet Of The Cow And The Effect Of Heat Upon The Antiscorbutic Potency Of Milk, Lynn Copeland
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Inroduction: For a long time there has been a belief among scientific investigators and medical men that certain diseases, both of man and animal were the direct result of a faulty diet. In other words, something which was needed by the body for maintenance of growth and health was thought to be frequently lacking in the diet of man and animal. Attention was first called to these accessory substances thru investigations into the cause of the disease beri-beri. In 1884, the Japanese Navy, under the direction of Admiral Takaki, positively demonstrated that beri-beri was the result of a faulty diet, …
Woman's Place In Modern Drama., Ruth Wilson
Woman's Place In Modern Drama., Ruth Wilson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
While the character of women in the plays of ancient times has ever played an important part in the history of the drama, the appearance of women in the feminine roles is a distinctly recent development. It might well be said that this is a fairly modern addition to the stage. Perhaps if Aeschylus or Shakespeare were here to-day, they would shake their heads and sigh because women, whose place they considered to be in the home, should have so far degraded themselves as to appear before an audience on an equal footing with their husbands or brothers. They would …
The Regular Army As A Factor In Maintaining Peace In The United States., A. Robert Ginsburgh (Abraham Robert) 1895-1958
The Regular Army As A Factor In Maintaining Peace In The United States., A. Robert Ginsburgh (Abraham Robert) 1895-1958
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The function of the army of the United States is to protect the country against all enemies foreign and domestic. Everyone is cognizant of the accomplishments of the American forces against its foreign enemies; but there is another work, of equal importance, fraught with as great a danger, which is too often overlooked that is, the use of the army as an auxiliary force to strengthen the arm of municipal authority, in the suppression of riots and disturbances; and to maintain order, where for some reason or other, the municipal authority has been unable to cope with the situation. Wars …
Joseph Neef : Pestalozzian Pioneer In America., Ruth Lee Koch
Joseph Neef : Pestalozzian Pioneer In America., Ruth Lee Koch
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In the early nineteenth century the Pestalossian system of education became very popular in Europe, and, aided by the necessity of something positive to take the place of the decayed and formalistic systems then prevalent, the movement spread rapidly. With its spread to America an old Napoleonic soldier, Joseph Neef, was eminently associated; but because this land was not yet ready for the seed he had to sow, his influence was little felt, and he himself was forgotten. At present only a few of the professional educators of the country even know his name. A distinction which attaches to his …
George Meredith's Ideas Of Religion., Mary Ellis Duncan
George Meredith's Ideas Of Religion., Mary Ellis Duncan
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Every man is to a greater or less degree a product of the influences surrounding his life. The more commonplace minds of the race, no doubt, are chiefly affected; and occasionally we find a man or woman of so keen an intellect, so striking an individuality, that it is difficult to trace the influence of his age upon him. Rather he becomes a power in forming the opinions of the next generation, stands in advance of his own period. Of this individualistic type if George Meredith, one of the greatest of the nineteenth century writers, if not foremost among them.
Courtly Love In Shakespeare's Sonnets And Plays., Rebbie Doty
Courtly Love In Shakespeare's Sonnets And Plays., Rebbie Doty
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
"It is in the south of France and at a very early period that we must look for the origin of the system of Courtly Love. Gathered about several small courts, there existed, as early as the eleventh century, a brilliant society, in which woman held the supreme place, and in which, under her influence, vast importance was attached to social etiquette and decorum. Definite rules governed the sexes in all their relations, and especially in matters of love. It was to this society that the troubadours belonged, and it was love, chiefly that was the inspiration of their songs. …
A History Of The Theatre In Louisville., Mary Martha Dietz
A History Of The Theatre In Louisville., Mary Martha Dietz
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A child is considered by some psychologists to pass through on its way to manhood the stages through which the race has passed on its way to civilization. If this is true of a single man, might it not equally be true of a community of men? Have not most settlements, in greater or a less degree, passed through the stages of development common to the growth of all cities until they have reached the standards of their day? A company of civilized men and women going forth to make a settlement in a new place, upon their arrival at …
Sympathy And System In Giving., Elwood Street
Sympathy And System In Giving., Elwood Street
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A quarter of a century ago, Abraham Epworth Rounds, aged forty-five, came shambling out of mountainous Eastern Tennessee to one of our Kentucky cities. He was intent on making a living in easier fashion than scratching it from the lean soil of the mountainside. Among his immediate relatives were nineteen people, defective from birth – blind, deaf, feeble-minded. Abraham Epworth Rounds ran true to the family form. His vision was so defective that he had been given a few years of schooling at the Tennessee School for the Blind. In Louisville, at first, he made a precarious living for himself …
The Relation Between Man And Nature In Wordsworth's Poetry., Elizabeth Hoskins
The Relation Between Man And Nature In Wordsworth's Poetry., Elizabeth Hoskins
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
While democracy was developing, while men were seeking to reform national politics and to find some means by which the people might be represented justly in the government, a new movement entered into literature to give it a broadened scope and a deepened meaning. This was the philosophical movement, at times strongly influenced by a metaphysical spirit, which often "not only prescribed the form of poetry, but furnished it with its elements". (Taine, History of English Literature, p.87). The questions, What is the meaning of life? What is man, and what is his purpose in the world? turned the thoughts …
Early Kentucky Intrigues Regarding The Mississippi River., Henri Reubelt Pearcy 1894-1987
Early Kentucky Intrigues Regarding The Mississippi River., Henri Reubelt Pearcy 1894-1987
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This paper is involved in a study of the intrigues of Kentuckians for the securing of the Mississippi River as a free waterway for the marketing of their produce and the consequent improvement of the condition of Kentuckians in every way. The conspiracies of such men as Blount and Burr have not been included because there was no real and vital connection of Kentuckians with their schemes. The intrigues of Wilkinson after the Spanish treating of 1795 were not involving Kentucky peculiarly but rather the Southwest, and they would not be properly included here. Evidence of complicity in intrigues on …
The Indians And The Agriculture Of Crow Creek Indian Reservation, Thomas J. Jackson
The Indians And The Agriculture Of Crow Creek Indian Reservation, Thomas J. Jackson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The Crow Creek Indian Reservation is located in South Dakota, bordering the east side of the Missouri River, about forty miles below Pierre, the Capital. In fact, a part of Hughes county lies in the Big Bend District of the reservation, and the south end of Hyde County and the west end of Buffalo County make up the rest of it - in all 313,304,23 acres or 489.5 square miles - about 13.5 townships. Parallel 44° North Latitude cuts the southern part of the Reservation, while meridian 99° West Longitude is just east of it. The nearest rail road point …
Some Aspects Of The Philosophy Of Joseph Conrad., Minnie Lee Dodd Hill 1886-1959
Some Aspects Of The Philosophy Of Joseph Conrad., Minnie Lee Dodd Hill 1886-1959
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A man's philosophy is his view of life. And every man who has lived his life – not merely spent it – has a philosophy. The convictions which go to make up this philosophy are rooted in the sub-soil of his experience. This sub-soil may contain ingredients carried up to him from the past of his race, of his nation, of his ancestors. His insight into his environment is not merely the view of a detached individual. The sad and gloomy experiences of Conrad's parents (banished to Vologda for taking part in Polish rebellion 1862) probably started in his child …
Some Aspects Of Madison Cawein's Poetry., Julia C. King
Some Aspects Of Madison Cawein's Poetry., Julia C. King
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
After a careful study of Madison Cawein's poetry, and comparing his views on religion and philosophy with those of some of the great English poets, Wordsworth, Shelley, Byron, Tennyson and Browning, I shall summarize them as follows, and treat each subject by comparison with these writers and with selections from his and their poems, substantiating these statements: 1. Cawein's conception of God is That God is the Fountain of all Mind, Beauty, Truth and Love. 2. His Poetry Embodies the Idea of Pantheism. 3. His Poetry Teaches the Evolution of the Soul. 4. His Poetry Expressed the Platonic Philosophy of …
The Attitude Of The Romantic Poets Towards Nature., Margaret Jane Wanless
The Attitude Of The Romantic Poets Towards Nature., Margaret Jane Wanless
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
By nature I mean the wide world of eye and ear that surrounds man, the kinship of which to man, it has been the poet's privilege to interpret. Each poet interprets differently because each sees through different glasses. "We receive but what we give, And in our life alone does nature live." (Coleridge – Dejec. 4 – 1)
Some Phases Of Our Modern Industrial Problem., James Asa White 1886-1953
Some Phases Of Our Modern Industrial Problem., James Asa White 1886-1953
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The original intention of this dissertation was to have been a brief treatment of some phases of our modern industrial problem. Later, however, it was decided to offer suggestions for solutions to these various problems. This I have attempted to do in the form of appendices. The greater emphasis will be given to the side of the laboring man in relation to his environment, his fellow-worker, and organized capital, rather than to organized industries as such. It is very evident from the great unrest now apparent in the laboring world, that something is radically wrong with the present system of …
The Religious Element In The Popular Ballads., Elizabeth Phillips Mcconathy
The Religious Element In The Popular Ballads., Elizabeth Phillips Mcconathy
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The present study of the religious element in the popular ballads is based largely on Mr. George L. Kittredge's edition of Mr. Francis J. Child's collection of English and Scottish popular ballads, the completeness of which, up to this time, has not been disputed.* Mr. Kittredge has printed in his volume one or more versions of every ballad which Mr. Child has given as an authentic folk ballad (omitting Nos. 33, 279, 281, 290 and 291), besides including a few of somewhat doubtful origin. It has not been judged necessary for the purposes of this article to discuss more than …
The Potato, I. S. Oakland
The Potato, I. S. Oakland
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
I respectfully submit this investigation and thesis to the committee of Master of Science, realizing that a long time is needed for proving any scientific principle no matter how large or small that truth may be. I have labored patiently for the last two years trying to find what part inheritance takes in lowering the yield of tubers in this state. I found that inheritance plays an important part in lowering the yield. I also found that there was a direct relationship of size of seed piece to yield, and that possibly the low yield of today is due to …
Le Misanthrope., Henry William Lenz
Le Misanthrope., Henry William Lenz
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The aim of this thesis is to show that there is found in this "noblest of comic masterpieces" an absorbing study of mankind and a profound knowledge of the human heart. It is In his work that man gives himself to the world; in his literary efforts he gives a vivid portrayal of himself, his real and inner self is splendidly revealed, though the merely material man is kept in the background. Bearing this in mind the writer has endeavored not so much to depict the character of Moliere, but, rather by an analytical process, to designate the elements which …
Some Peculiarities Of Shelley's Rhythm., Ethel Allen Murphy
Some Peculiarities Of Shelley's Rhythm., Ethel Allen Murphy
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The most striking quality of Shelley's poetry meets our attention once, in the play of ever-changing emotion through his lines. When he called himself "A pard-like Spirit beautiful and swift," he characterized the spirit of his poetry, with its ever-shifting imagery, and its pulsing, leaping rhythms continually falling into new and unexpected adjustments of difficult stresses, but always resolving themselves into a wonderful coherency of thought and form which produces the effect of strange and beautiful music. He builds up large rhythm-forms in what we may call the phrasing of his lines, using the term in a musical sense, and …
The School Garden From An Educational View Point., Emilie Yunker
The School Garden From An Educational View Point., Emilie Yunker
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
"School gardens are not intended to create gardeners or farmers but to afford the growing boy or girl an opportunity for many aided developments." In the school garden the children are taught by one who can inspire them with a love not only for plants, but for everything else that has life and grows to take care of trees, lawns, flowers, vegetables and such things planted with their own hands. It is a place where the plants together with their friends and enemies have an intimate relation to the child personally; where the lessons are far more vital than anything …
Stress Of Romance Words In Chaucer's Prologue To The Knight's Tale., Helen S. Ward
Stress Of Romance Words In Chaucer's Prologue To The Knight's Tale., Helen S. Ward
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The effect of the Norman-French Conquest on the vocabulary of the English language was profound. Prior to the Twelfth Century the language contained but few word forms foreign to the Old English. The vocabulary of the Eleventh Century contained about thirty words of French origin and these must have come into the language previous to the conquest.
The Early Missionary Work Of The French Jesuits In North America., Edward Thomas Poulson
The Early Missionary Work Of The French Jesuits In North America., Edward Thomas Poulson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
There are perhaps but few passages in history that are more striking than those which tell of heroic efforts of the early French Jesuits to convert the Indians of North America. Many of these efforts are full of dramatic and philosophic interest, and they also bear strongly upon the political destinies of America. While the small young colonies of England still clung feebly to the shores of the Atlantic, events, almost wholly unknown to them, that would eventually have great bearing upon their future, were in progress in the very heart of the continent, the main participants being the French …
