A Study Of Veterans Readmitted To Nichols Veterans Administration Hospital, Louisville, Kentucky, After Having Been Discharged "Improved" And Received "Maximum Hospital Benefits" From April Through December, 1946., Jeanne Lacourse

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This is a study of patients readmitted to Nichols Veterans Administration Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky during the period of April through December of 1946.

To bear out this observation, a sample study was made over a ten day period and it was found that 14 percent of all the patients being admitted were readmissions. Since this was true, the question arose …

Tragic Implications Of Man's Frustration By Society In Three Of Dreiser's Novels., Susan Mae Robinson Mar 1947

Tragic Implications Of Man's Frustration By Society In Three Of Dreiser's Novels., Susan Mae Robinson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this paper is to examine three of Dreiser's major novels in order (1) to show that his philosophy of life is exemplified in his fiction and (2) to determine whether or not his ideas undergo any change. The three novels chosen for this study are The "Genius", An American Tragedy, and The Bulwark, because they cover a span of American life, as Dreiser saw it, from the time of his greatest productivity until his death--a period of thirty years. The first part of the thesis will contain: (1) a general background of the period of which Dreiser …


Trotsky And The Moscow Treason Trials., Albert L. Boiter Jan 1947

Trotsky And The Moscow Treason Trials., Albert L. Boiter

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Someone has said that Hitler failed to conquer Russia because there was no strong internal ally, i.e. 'Fifth Column', to prepare for his armies. Such an opinion heaps enormous credit upon Joseph Stalin because he launched investigations and trials of alleged traitors as early as 1935. Some critics prefer to call the trials and resultant executions 'blood purges' since they also served the purpose of eliminating virtually all of Stalin's political opponents. Long before the rest of the world learned by tragic experience about the infiltration methods of the Nazis, Stalin's government claimed that it had uncovered a fascist-supported conspiracy …

The Opportunity Class Of The Mary D. Hill School., Gladys E. Wyatt Jun 1946

The Opportunity Class Of The Mary D. Hill School., Gladys E. Wyatt

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In almost every classroom in the country there are overage boys and girls, retarded children who have been pushed along through school after repeated failures have convinced both them and their teachers and companions that they are of little consequence. Since not much can be done to remedy the situation after so many years, the only solution in most cases is to pass the children along as rapidly as possible, allowing them to sit in the successive grades where the intellectual tasks are completely beyond their limited abilities. Here they acquire more bad habits and often become personality or behavior …
