Milton And Cambridge : A New Look At An Old Attitude, Roy S. Riner

Master's Theses

From the insights cleaned from current research into John Milton's years as an undergraduate and a graduate student at Cambridge University, this writer has found an overwhelming amount of material dedicated to pointing out Milton's total lack of affection for that university. For the most part, those statements bearing on Milton's dislike for Cambridge are unequivocal. For example, one scholar has remarked that John Milton departed from the University in 1632 "weary and disguised" with the medieval, unbearable antiquated methods of the place. That same scholar continues with the statement that Milton's attitude toward Cambridge was "uniformly unfriendly" and that …

Chaucer's Ecclesiastics In The Canterbury Tales, Helen Lee Coleman

Master's Theses

It is thought that Chaucer began composing The Canterbury Tales as a dramatic whole around 1387. This is his last and by f ar his best known work. In this final. masterpiece Chaucer undertakes the tremendous task or presenting in poetic form a whole society. However, he does not merely explore society in general; he also develops the theme or the individual's relation to the community and the integral part that each person plays in making up the whole. The Canterbury Tales is, as George Lyman Kittredge so aptly puts it, "a micro cosmography" or a little image of a …

Chaucer's Ecclesiastics In The Canterbury Tales, Helen Lee Coleman

Master's Theses

It is thought that Chaucer began composing The Canterbury Tales as a dramatic whole around 1387. This is his last and by far his best known work. In this final masterpiece Chaucer undertakes the tremendous task of presenting in poetic form a whole society. However, he does not merely explore society in general; he also develops the theme or the individual's relation to the community and the integral part that each person plays in making up the whole. The Canterbury Tales is, as George Lyman Kittredge so aptly puts it, "a micro cosmography" or a little image of a great …

Refractoriness Of Pet Mouse Integument To The Nerve Growth Factor, Walter Hollified Dorman

Master's Theses

This paper deals with the refractoriness of PET mouse integument to the subcutaneous administration of nerve growth factor. Newborn mice were injected once daily with NGF through ten injections. Gross and histological examination showed that the skin of the experimental animals was completely unresponsive to this agent. No alterations in the hair growth cycle or pattern were observed.

Colonial Independence Of Feeding Among Zooids Of The Ectoproct Lophodella Carteri (Hyatt), Leonard M. Bahr

Master's Theses

Possible interactions of feeding between zooids of colonies of the freshwater ectoproct Lophopodella carter! were investigated. Suspensions of Euglena gracilis at a concentration of 558x10³ cells ml^-1 were cleared by L. carter at a rate of 2.7 x 10^-3 ml min^-1 zooid^-1 for15 minute periods. The rate of ingestion of E. gracilis by L. carter was independent of the size of colony and decreased exponentially with time, declining to about one third the original rate in 60 minutes.

The Image Of The Jew In James Joyce's Ulysses, Phyllis Joyce Cohen Levy

Master's Theses

Since the beginning of English literature, the Jew has been portrayed as a villain. Edgar Rosenberg and Montague Frank Madder most affirmed the conviction in each of their studies of the Jew in English literature. However, the conclusion that the Jew is still portrayed as a villain is invalid because the image has changed. It is my intention to examine this change, focusing particularly on the character of Leopold Bloom in James Joyce 's Ulysses.

The Theory And Development Of A Dyeing Machine Employing The Rotary Pendulum, Ashley Paul Smith

Master's Theses

A review of dyeing methods for carpet is made with the objective that the requirements of a new machine could be formulated. The proposal for a new machine is made in the light of the above review using a pendulum as the basic component. A theory is developed for the motion of the pendulum which is mounted on a rotating disc, and the experimental work built on theory is outlined. A prototype machine based on the rotary pendulum mechanism was used to dye impregnate carpet.

A Spectrophotometric Study Of The System: Cobalt--2,2,8,8-Tetrakis (Hydroxymethyl)-3,7-Diaza-1,5,9-Nonanetriol, Pauline Frances Fones

Master's Theses

Spectrophotometric studies or solutions or 2,2;8;a. tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)-3, 7-diaza-1,5.9-nonanetriol, (HOCH₂),₃CHNCH₂CH(OH)CH₂NHC(CH₂OH)₃, with cobalt (II) gave evidence of complexes having metal-ligand ratios of 1:2 and 1:3. Complexation appeared nearly complete at pH 8 or greater. Between pH 8 and pH 11, the positions of the maxima in the absorbance spectra remained essentially constant and no precipitation was observed. The 1:2 complex formed rapidly, while the 1:3 complex formed more slowly, requiring one to two weeks to reach equilibrium, after which the solutions remained unchanged over a period or several months. Evidence …

The Danville Riot Of 1883 : Its Effect On Politics In Virginia, William Carrington Tate

Master's Theses

Dr. Richard L. Morton, a Virginia historian who lived in the early twentieth century, wrote, "the recrudescence of the race question has occurred in Virginia politics only in times of political stress, when the negro vote has been necessary to keep certain elements in power." Probably no more powerful example of Dr. Morton's words has occurred in the Old Dominion than that outbreak of passions between blacks and whites in the streets of Danville on November 3, 1883, only three days before the legislative election for the state was to take place.

Effects Of Category-Relevance, Retention Measure, And Category-Affiliation Upon Retention Of The Aging, Gary M. Tyson

Master's Theses

The present investigation represents an attempt to further explore several parameters of short-term memory as a function of the relevance of appropriateness of the verbal materials utilized. It is the author's contention that due to changing patterns of interests and experiences accompanying chronological aging, certain types of verbal material vary with respect to their relevance for use with aging populations. In regard to parameters of short-term memory, the present study contains provisions for exploring efficiency of retention as a function of the retention measure; and category•affiliated as opposed to randomly-selected words. A more complete and integrated formulation is presented in …

The Effect Of Poor Discipline On Achieving A Grade Point Total Consistent With Ability At Tuckahoe Junior High School, John Wayne Traylor

Master's Theses

There has been a great deal of speculation and controversy over discipline in the schools of the world. The causes and effects of poor discipline have been discussed, and much has been written on both subjects. The public schools of America are in the peculiar position of being greatly affected by poor discipline. Being a public institution open to all citizens, the schools have to meet the problem and have to find ways of combatting it in order to maintain an efficient operation in line with the standards of excellence set by the public which sustains them.
