Significant Modern Interpretations Of Joan Of Arc., Virginia Quarrier Wynn Jan 1948

Significant Modern Interpretations Of Joan Of Arc., Virginia Quarrier Wynn

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Five hundred years have passed, and Joan remains a living breathing presence, when those others of her day have become little more than names, a museum of labelled shadows. What is the explanation of this continued interest in a young girl who lived for only nineteen short years in the first part of the fifteenth century? Before attempting to answer this question, let us briefly summarize the facts of her life: she was born, it is believed, on January 6, 1412 in Domremy, a small town in north-eastern France. There, at the age of thirteen, she first heard voices and …

Water And Water Vapor Barriers For Structural Plywood : Ii. Core Void Fillers For Structural Plywood., James Van Dyck Fear

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis presents the results of an investigation conducted to improve the weather resistance of plywood assemblies used in prefabricated housing manufacture. Specifically, this work involved water sealers for edge joints (called edge sealers), the prevention of surface transfer of water vapor through plywood (called vapor barriers), and fillers for structural defects in the wood (called core void fillers). Two edge sealers for plywood were developed that were considered successful in resisting water permeation. One was a quick drying paint formulated by the addition of 30 per cent leaded zinc oxide to 70 per cent Arco primer paint No. 156. …

A Study Of The Academic Success Of Veteran Former Probation Students In The College Of Arts And Sciences Of The University Of Louisville., Rollin E. Godfrey

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The University of Louisville, like most other universities, played an important role in World War II in the training of Service Men for active duty in the Navy, and now in the post-war era, finds herself taxed to the limit to provide educational facilities for her veteran students. To admit large numbers of students, whether veteran or non veteran, without some sort of screening process to identify those who obviously could not do college work would be wasteful of manpower and public moneys. The policy which the University has used for many years is known to be a valid procedure, …

Fellow Americans : Source Material For A Unit On Brazil With Emphasis On The Region Surrounding The Amazon River., Henrietta Frances Alpiger

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Teachers are a busy group. Contrary to the belief of many persons who are not in close contact with a teacher, the school day does not end when the children leave the building. No indeed--there are faculty meetings, committee meetings, P.T.A. meetings, educational association meetings and supervisor meetings to mention but a few of the functions every teacher is expected to attend. In the evening there are papers to grade, lessons to prepare, professional books and articles to read, and numerous records of many varieties to keep. Few teachers enjoy the luxury of an eight hour working day. It is …

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. This particular project was undertaken because on general observation, there appeared to be an unusual number of patients being readmitted to the hospital after having received "maximum hospital benefits" at a previous hospital admission and having been discharged "improved". 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

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 …

A Study Of The Relative Value Of Marks In Various Amounts Of High-School Subjects And Scholastic Aptitude Test Scores For The Prediction Of Success In College Subjects At South Dakota State College, Norman Berg

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The problem of success or failure of college students in various courses and subjects, has led to considerable thought and study among persons responsible for the guidance of college students and of high-school graduates about to enter college. Even a casual observer will rapidly admit that many students in our colleges fall by the wayside. A large number do poorer work than it seems should be expected of them.
