In the fourth chapter, the activities of the Byrd forces at the Democratic National Convention …


"The Beau Ideal Of A Soldier" : Brigadier General Charles Dimmock, Eugene M. Sanchez-Saavedra Jan 1971

"The Beau Ideal Of A Soldier" : Brigadier General Charles Dimmock, Eugene M. Sanchez-Saavedra

Master's Theses

Charles Dimmock (1800-1863), the subject of this biography, played "many parts" in his lifetime; Soldier, Educator, Hero, Businessman, Engineer, Promoter, Family man and Civil Servant. A northerner by birth, Dimmock adopted the state of Virginia as his mistress and place of residence and he devoted the last twenty years of his life to the state's military and civil development.

With Richmond, Virginia, in the 1840's and 50's, as his stage, Dimmock, who was certainly the hero of his own biography, worked with an astonishing variety of supporting players, ranging from the top civil and military leaders in America to the …


Caesar In Spain : An Economic Policy?, Robert O. Turek Jan 1971

Caesar In Spain : An Economic Policy?, Robert O. Turek

Master's Theses

The question we set out to investigate was whether Caesar exhibited an organized policy toward the economy of the Spanish provinces. Two distinct aspects have been considered: that of Spain itself and its economic growth and that of Caesar personally and his policies.

During the first century B.C. the Spanish peninsula was exhibiting signs of the economic growth which reached its height during the first two centuries of Imperial times. Mining, industry and commerce were flourishing. Agriculture was becoming ore diverse and profitable. Italian immigration, both of money and manpower, was providing an impetus to spur the growth which had …

Introduction And Operation Of Videoplayers For Religious Instruction In The Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Steve Joannou

Master's Theses

Purpose of the Study

The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility of introducing and operating video players in the Seventh-day Adventist Church for religious instruction.

Importance of the Study

The first two waves of the electronic appliance age have left an indelible mark on mankind. In some countries there are more radio receivers than people and more television sets than bathtubs. Now the third wave, the video player, is about to break upon us, and it could transform as dramatically as the first two the cultural habits of the world. Even skeptics are now willing to concede …

Sequential Processing Deficits In Reading Retardation, Sara Gambrell Tarver Jan 1970

Sequential Processing Deficits In Reading Retardation, Sara Gambrell Tarver

Master's Theses

Doehring (1968) hypothesized that a basic sequential processing deficit underlies specific reading disability. To investigate sequential processing deficits in reading retardation, four tasks involving the reproduction of stimuli in a particular sequence were administered to a group of retarded readers and a group of normal readers matched on age, sex, race, educational opportunity, sociocultural environment, and Non-Language IQ on the CTMM. The normal readers were significantly superior to the retarded readers on the four sequential processing tasks and on two other tests, vocabulary and rhyming. The two groups did not differ significantly on reversals discrimination, perceptual speed, or cumulative learning. …

Data Retrieval In Mass Spectrometry By An Optical Coincidence System, Cynthia Helmintoller O'Donohue Aug 1969

Data Retrieval In Mass Spectrometry By An Optical Coincidence System, Cynthia Helmintoller O'Donohue

Master's Theses

The object of this work was to develop an information storage and retrieval system for use in mass spectroscopy. The information to be stored was the compound's name, the mass spectrum, and distinctive physical and chemical properties. It was desirable that the system be one that could be used in the mass spectral laboratory. At the time this project was initiated, no system for mass spectroscopy had been developed with the characteristics of simplicity, rapid retrieval, and practicality of use in the laboratory without elaborate and space consuming equipment. Thus, a system was needed to aid the laboratory personnel in …


An Attempt To Measure The Diffusion Of Aluminum Into Natural Aluminum Oxide, Charles Edward Galaspie Jul 1969

An Attempt To Measure The Diffusion Of Aluminum Into Natural Aluminum Oxide, Charles Edward Galaspie

Master's Theses

The goal of this research was to investigate the diffusion of aluminum ions in natural aluminum oxide grown under atmospheric conditions. The basis for the approach employed here had been developed earlier by J. H. Christian and H. L.Taylor. However, these authors studied the diffusion of aluminum ions in an oxide grown in a pure oxy­gen atmosphere. They utilized a glass slide upon which aluminum metal was deposited in vacuo (10-11 Torr). Oxide was then allowed to grow on this metal by back-filling the vacuum with pure oxygen to a pressure of 40 to 50 m Torr while infrared …

The York River Railroad : 1851-1881, Stuart B. Medlin Jun 1968

The York River Railroad : 1851-1881, Stuart B. Medlin

Master's Theses

The construction of railroads in the State of Virginia was perhaps the single most important economic development that affected the growth of the state. Connecting isolated sections of the state, railroads enabled rural and urban areas to share their respective contributions to the economic prosperity of the common-wealth. Beginning in 1836, when Virginia's first line was constructed, Virginia railroading developed rapidly from 676 3/4 miles in 1851 to 1,954 miles in 1880.

One of the lines that contributed to this economic development was a short thirty-eight mile track that ran from Richmond to West Point at the head of the …
