Social Adjustments Of Physically Handicapped Persons, Marie Van Maanen Jan 1933

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 …

Some Philosophical Implications Of Behaviorism., Harold Wayland Tribble Jan 1927

Some Philosophical Implications Of Behaviorism., Harold Wayland Tribble

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Psychology is the middle ground between philosophy and science. Philosophy deals with the interpretation of facts, with, a view to determining their ultimate cause. It is the search for knowledge of general principles--elements, powers, causes and laws--as explaining facts and existences. Science is systematized knowledge of facts, laws and proximate causes, gained and verified by exact observation. Science is the effort to show how laws operate, and how certain facts affect other facts. Philosophy seeks to show why laws operate as they do, and to discern what is the first fact. Science deals with the sequence of events and effects …

A Study In Professional Ethics., Lewis William Dockery May 1922

A Study In Professional Ethics., Lewis William Dockery

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Professional ethics does not differ in its essential nature from general ethics; both are concerned with problems of human conduct. The difference between the two is a difference of scope but not of nature. The scope of general ethics is as broad as the purposive acts of rational persons, while the scope of professional ethics is limited to the purposive acts of lawyers, physicians, teachers, clergymen, and other professional persons. The former includes all normal persons irrespective of their vocations; the latter includes only persons who are in professional life. Professional ethics takes the field of general ethics for granted; …

Concerning The Degree Of Self Fertilization In Corn (Zea Mays Indentata) That Is Obtained Under Normal Field Conditions, George Janssen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

"Like begets like”. This well-known phrase which aroused so much comment among students in genetics and animal breeding has almost unconsciously become an adage to a part of their philosophy. Whatever truth or lack of it is associated with these words we admire the keenness of observation of him who wrote them. However significant the words "like begets like" could it be strictly adhered to our problem in breeding a cross-fertilized population would be greatly lessened.

History Of The Churches Of Louisville With Special Reference To Slavery., Homer E. Wickenden May 1921

History Of The Churches Of Louisville With Special Reference To Slavery., Homer E. Wickenden

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In the one hundred and forty years of Louisville's existence, it has grown from a log cabin settlement with no churches to a city with 269 churches and church property valued at over $30,000,000. It is impossible to measure the moral and religious force that they have exerted on the city. It can best be appreciated when one thinks of what the city would be without them. Few of us would care to live in such a city. In the field of education, Louisville churches have contributed much. Some of the first schools in the city were conducted by ministers, …

Some Phases Of The Rural Sociological Situation., Jonas William Boyer 1890-1947

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This treatise is not intended to cover the whole field of Rural Sociology. It deals briefly with the more important phases of the subject.

The original inhabitants of this world were ruralists, and necessarily social conditions sprang up with them which needed …
