An Investigation Of Problems In Adult Education, With Special Emphasis Upon A Particular Program In The State Of Virginia, Roy Conrad Lilly

Master's Theses

As the modern system of education progresses, new terms are being applied to old practices with resulting new significance.

A Job Evaluation For The Waterproof Department Of A Paper Manufacturing Company : Comparison Of Two Methods, Floyd Dewey Gottwald

Master's Theses

One of the basic problems in labor-management relations is the determination of proper wages for each job, so the worker can be assured of receiving fair compensation for the work he is required to do. Management and workers have always classified jobs in some manner when setting rates or determining if these rates were just, but usually the classification consisted of spur-of-the-moment decisions rather than a well defined and understood, written plan. With increased importance placed on labor-management relations, the classification of jobs today is accomplished by improved methods, and job evaluation is now well developed as a technique to …

Master's Theses

One of the most important groups of local anesthetics is the class of alkyl and dialkylaminoalkyl esters of aromatic acids. Of these compounds, the diethylaminoethyl esters are particularly valuable.

It is obvious that pyrrolidine is merely a modified form of diethylamine. The purpose of this work is to learn the effect of substituting the N-pyrrolidyl nucleus for the diethyl amino nucleus in various esters of the local anesthetic type.

An Introduction To The Poetry Of T.S. Eliot : A Selective Handbook, Jean Katherine Collins

Master's Theses

T. S. Eliot, one of the most discussed poets of our time, has registered a deep and sincere concern for the plight of modern society. That concern is mirrored in his poetry where he has spoken his message to those who will hear it. He seems to have put a supersensitive finger on the pulse of the world's ills, and has suggested what he believes to be the only solution.

An Investigation Of Problems In Adult Education, With Special Emphasis Upon A Particular Program In The State Of Virginia, Roy Conrad Lilly

Master's Theses

As the modern system of education progresses, new terms are being applied to old practices with resulting new significances. Such a new term is "adult education"; such an old practice is lifelong learning. The latter is, of course, an ancient ideal in the history of civilization, but adult education as an organized social process is comparatively recent in American life. Although the term was not recognized under the name "adult education" until 1924, in meaning and practice it reaches backward into our early community life to the opening of the first public evening school in 1819, to the first attempt …

Phase Behavior Of Sodium Stearate In Anhydrous Cyclohexane, Walter Edward Reid Jr.

Master's Theses

Soap solutions, aqueous and non-aqueous, are characteristic in that they firm colloidal systems at certain concentrations, the properties of which are influenced by temperature and pressure. Application of the Gibbs phase rule to such systems makes possible the location of the various phases of a particular system and hence enables phase diagrams to be constructed. For systems of soap-hydrocarbons such as are found in fuels, beauty preparations, greases, medical preparations, etc., a phase diagram would show very readily the most satisfactory composition for the conditions desired.

The Relative Stimulus Value Of Voices And Faces As Measured By The Method Of Recognition, William Hill Doub

Master's Theses

When Ebbinghaus published the results of his experimental investigations of memory in 1885 his introductory chapter pointed out the "bare knowledge of the existence of memory and its effects." Historically in studies of memory our information came in large measure from the observation of the extreme and especially striking cases.The difficulties of scientific studies and the indefinite unspecialised knowledge of the nature of memory vas almost prohibitive in undertaking new investigations.

Ellen Glasgow's Virginia : The Background Of Her Novels, Ruth Jones Wilkins

Master's Theses

Ellen Glasgow's native state, the Commonwealth of Virginia, was a constituent portion of her. "I am Virginian in every drop of my blood and pulse of my heart...," she said. With her Virginia she wove a rich background for her novels. At times the cloth was homespun like the background of the Burrs in THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE; at other times it was of a finer texture as in VIRGINIA; yet again it was a rich tapestry for people like the Archibalds in THE SHELTERED LIFE.

Ellen Glasgow has contributed to world literature, in polished, exquisite form, an unbiased …
