A Comparative Study Of Student Activity Acct. Syst' In Tex., Zora W. Melton

Theses

The scope of this study is limited to a survey of the high schools of Texas. Efforts have been made to obtain such data as would give a cross-sectional view of the types of plans now in use among all sizes of high schools in every section of the state. With this purpose in view questionaires were sent to fifty high school treasurers of schools whose enrollment ranged in size from 250 to 2500. This list of schools was taken from a state bulletin containing the names and enrollment of all the affiliated high schools of the state.

The Rahway Valley Trunk Sewer And Its Relations To, And Effect Upon The City Of Rahway, Fred A. Hedeman

Theses

This treatise is divided into three separate parts, each portraying a particular phase of the Rahway Valley improvement. Although not directly connected with the Joint Meeting, the fact that I served as Assistant City Engineer in Rahway during 1931 and 1932 naturally presented to me the opportunity of attending meetings and studying the project especially as it pertained to the City of Rahway.

Part one is a general review of the activities of the Rahway Valley Joint Meeting, both prior to and after the completion of the trunk sewer. The second portion reveals some of the intricate problems evolving in …

Cuprous Oxide Rectification, Philip G. Cobb

Theses

It has been shown that cuprous oxide, when formed from a copper surface by suitable heat treatment, has remarkable rectifying properties towards alternating voltages applied through the oxide and copper. The purpose of our work was to investigate, the effect fully from all angles possible, and especially from those considerations affecting the constancy and permanence in the electric circuit.

The work ranged from furnace operation to tests of completed units, and further to the development of a theory explaining as completely as possible this rectifying property.

It soon became apparent, that here was ideal thesis material, and so, with proper …
