Social Adjustments Of Physically Handicapped Persons, Marie Van Maanen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Life is a series of adjustments to environments, and he who is most versatile in making adjustments is likely to be the first to climb the ladder to success. "Success does not consist in achieving a certain standards. It does consist in living up to the limit of one's abilities. If such is the case then it behooves each individual, no matter what his inherited mental capacity or his physical prowess, to make the most of his environment. He who has been deprived of some of his physical faculties has a greater task of adjustment to his environment than the …

The Influence Of Spenser's Irish Residence On The Faerie Queene., Ellen Mcdowell Davis

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The departure of Spenser for Ireland in 1580 as secretary to Lord Grey of Wilton, newly appointed Lord Deputy of Ireland, marks a significant point in the poet's career. Save for occasional trips to England, the remaining years of his life Spenser spent in this "salvage land", among a hostile and turbulent people, far from the brilliance of English court life and "Elisa's blessed fields." The appointment to service in Ireland seems to have been a disappointment to the poet who had shortly before thought himself assured of an official career in England under the patronage of Leicester. In October …

Farm Mortgage Experience Of Life Insurance Companies Lending In South Dakota, Harry Allan Steele

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Life insurance funds play an important part in supplying farm mortgage credit. This source of credit has increased rapidly during the last twenty years and is now one of the principal sources of farm mortgage loans in the United States. Because of the nature of the institution of life insurance, its investments should be conservative. It is with this view in mind that the state insurance laws are designed to regulate the investments of the life insurance companies. Investments of the well established life insurance companies have generally been made on a conservative basis.

Studies In The Life History Of The Croton Bug, Blatella Germanica (Linnaeus), Laurence Adams Carruth

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The Croton bug, or German Roach as it is commonly called, has been widely known for centuries. In the past, a considerable amount of work was done in attempting to find methods of controlling this insect, but relatively little attention was given to a study of its morphology, time of development, or to the finer details of the life history. this lack of information is probably due, in part to the fact that there are several similar common species of roaches and also because the Croton bug has probably received less attention than the other roaches, at least from a …
