Best Sellers In American Fiction During The First Decade Of The Twentieth Century, Sister Marie Joan Sullivan

English Language and Literature ETDs

It is the purpose of this study to throw some light upon the characters and habits of thought of the American reader at the beginning of the twentieth century.

This thesis will be confined to those novels classified as best sellers by The Bookman in the years 1900-1910.

To classify a novel as a best seller does not mean that it is a great or even a mediocre work judged from an artistic standpoint.

Frank Hamilton Cushing's Relations To Zuni And The Hemenway Southwestern Expedition 1879-1889, Clarissa Parsons Fuller

History ETDs

According to A.L. Kroeber, Cushing's residence at Zuni from 1879 to 1894, laid the foundation for the study of ethnology in the Southwest. This beginning of work in the study of the life, manners, and customs of the living Indians in the Southwest, came at a time when the modern study of ethnology was itself very new, dating its beginning back but twenty years before Cushing went to Zuni. It will be my purpose to summarize briefly briefly the history of general anthropology and ethnology, in order to indicate Cushing's place in the sequence as the new science developed.

Las Vegas 1890-1900: A Frontier Town Becomes Cosmopolitan, Audrey Thomas Tapy

History ETDs

Along with the big events, the plain every day homely happenings were woven into the warp and woof of this town's existence. National and international affairs were but over tones to the notes that composed the familiar melody of the life of the community. There were times during the nineties when the outside world became very close to this territorial town.

The town expanded, business developed, civic pride increased, "home seekers were more numerous than ever," public schools were built, church membership grew, and more leisure time brought a more extensive social life. This community acquired an individuality, a personality …

The History Of Silver City, New Mexico 1870-1886, Conrad Keeler Naegle

History ETDs

In the best days of its past Silver City was never so good as now; never so prosperous, optimistic, filled with the spirit of growing and building.

Parenthetically, if anything we write about Silver City or any place else seems so glowing that you incline to skepticism, suspecting it was written for the gratification of the local inhabitants, don't take our word for it. Go see for yourself. You will discover more than we have put down on paper.

A Study Of Japanese International Short Wave Radio Propaganda, Leonard A. Smoll

Psychology ETDs

This study of Japanese war-time propaganda, beamed toward the United States and disseminated by the medium of international short wave radio, was inspired by these considerations. War-time restrictions on the press, local broadcasting, and landline facilities close the channels to which Japan could get the desired propaganda material into a neutral country, she would have no assurance that the material would reach the ultimate objective in unadulterated form. These obvious barriers to Japan's propaganda machine raise the question: Is there any channel or communication through which Japan may direct biased information straight to the recipient, and delivered uncensored? The answer …

Permeability And Porosity Studies Of The Cut Bank Oil Sand, Wesley Edward Davis

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

In studying the Cut Bank field and its numerous wells, it is found that dry holes are surrounded by producing wells, and also that the field as a whole is very irregular; water, oil, and gas zones in many cases following no definite pattern. In some instances, this phenomenon may be due to the lensing and thinning of the producing sands, but it is evident that this is not the only factor. There­fore, the controlling factors must be porosity and permeability.

Coal In Montana, Clifford A. Barkell

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Coal was first mined in Montana in the year 1880. For the last thirty years the mining of coal in this state has been very important-with few people realizing its value. In the mineral industry, the value of the annual production of coal is exceeded by none of the non-metallics, and only by gold, silver, and copper in the metallics. At the present time the coal production of Montana is valued at about 4₁000,000.00 annually.

Zinc Plating Magnesium, Howard Wilbur Adam

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Magnesium and magnesium alloys are becoming more and more important in modern industry.

Jewish Customs Reflected In The Parables Of Jesus As Given In St Matthew's Gospel, Martin Lopahs

Bachelor of Divinity

It is the writer's object to delve a bit deeper into the history behind .Christ's parables in the Matthew account. He has found in his narrowed and short experience, that there is a very close relationship between the earthly and the heavenly elements of this particular type of instruction. And in order to make these important truths, taught in the parables. more vivid, more realistic to his own understanding, he approached this subject - that he might thereby establish at least a short and concise background· of the parables, to learn and appreciate the common scenes and customs of Christ’s …

On The Production Of Polyploidy With Paradichlorbenzene, Mary Anne Carey

Bachelors’ Theses

The subject of polyploidy has been of scientific interest for some time. The true nature of the cause of this phenomenon has been disputed ever since its existence was made known. Polyploidy is the condition in which the haploid number of the chromosomes, contained within the nucleus, is multiplied so that there is a higher number of chromosomes present than there is in the typical diploid cell of that particular plant or animal. The diploid number of the chromois known as 2n, therefore, higher multiples would be referred to as 3n, 4n, 8n etc. Some plants or animals have one …

Critical Studies In The Text Of Romans Based On P46, Elmer Moeller

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this thesis has a background. Two years ago Doctor Arndt interested several of his students, among them the writer, in the problem of isolating in the Pauline epistles a Caesarean text such as that which the critics Lake, Streeter, and others find chiefly in Codex Theta for the Gospels. The resulting studies in the critica1 editions of Tischendorf and von Soden and in the text of Papyrus 46 (P46) served as a fine introduction to further work. Because of the interest which these studies aroused, as master’s thesis in the graduate school of Washington University. Saint Louis, …

Ancestor Worship, E C. Zimmermann

Bachelor of Divinity

The Law of God, written in the hearts of men, was doubtless much more clear in the early days of the human race than now, and while there may be no particularly outstanding instances of filial piety recorded in the first chapters of the Scriptures depicting the history of the human race up to the days of Noah, we need not necessarily begin to assume the contrary. We do know that these early patriarchs begat sons and daughters. Their children were doubtless dear to them and they in turn were dear to their children. There is no doubt about there …

Growth Seed Yields, And Seedling Production Of Native Prairie Plants In Various Habitats Of The Mixed Prairie, H. Ray Brown

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

The native vegetation of the mixed prairie of west-central Kansas was subjected to the worst drought on record during the period 1933 to 1939 inclusive. Data secured from the United States Weather Bureau reveal the fact that precipitation during this period of drought was far below normal . The rainfall deficit as reported by Albertson and Weaver (1942) was nearly 35 inches for this 7-year period. Other climatic factors such as wind movement, relative humidity, and temperature were equally abnormal. The extreme drought period greatly modified the vegetation of the mixed prairie and the short-grass disclimax. The basal cover in …

The Biological Effect Of An Invisible Radiation On The Drosophila Melanogaster, Leo C. Massopust Jr.

Bachelors’ Theses

In a series of investigations, Massopust describes various effects he obtained with an invisible radiation which he called infra-red. The results he obtained seemed to indicate that this radiation might have some effect on development and growth. Hence, the Drosophila Melanogaster was chosen for experimentation to ascertain whether or not the invisible radiation he used would produce mutations. Personal communications from this author disclosed that up to the present writing he has not been able to establish definitely that the radiation lies somewhere in the infra-red band of the electro-magnetic field. He does, however, favor the interpretation that it is …

Attitudes Toward The Indian As Found In American Literature 1700-1800, Margaret Lindsay Hopcraft

English Language and Literature ETDs

This thesis is a study of the attitude towards the Indian as shown in American literature of the eighteenth century, a period which, to the writer's knowledge, has not been reviewed. Albert Keiser's book, The Indian in American Literature, covers the entire field but considers only the major writers and their treatment of the Indian, thus excluding all but a small group of writers from 1700 to 1800.

Administrative Reorganization Of The Government Of The State Of Virginia Under Governor Byrd, Robert Greg Barr

Honors Theses

Administrative reorganization is a tremendous subject. In the final analysis, it involves the history of administrative organization, proposals for its improvement, reforms in its structure, desirability of further changes, and the adequacy and beneficial effects of changes already instituted, as well as the broad ramifications of governmental theory inextricably related to any scheme of administrative structure. It is a study of the entire executive branch of a government in all its aspects. These subjects offer interesting fields of research for the student of government and history, as well as the student of economics in some instances. Exploitation of the opportunities …

The Disfranchisement Of An American Patriot, Arthur H. Brown Jr

Honors Theses

Two years ago this coming August I was fortunate enough to acquire the manuscript around which this treatise is built. When I acquired it I was of the opijnion that it was in Jefferson's own hand-writing. However, upon investigation I have discovered that although the body of the letter greatly resembles Jefferson's hand, th esignature is not his. Therefore, the most plausible explanation is that this is a contemporary copy of a letter which Jefferson wrote. It was customary in Jefferson's day to have several scriveners whose sole duty was to copy letters. This may be such a copy. Or, …

The Analysis, Evaluation, And Selection Of American History Textbooks For Senior High School Classroom Use, Fred A. Weiss

Masters Theses

Chapter I

The Purpose and Procedure of this Study

Introduction

American history has long held a well-established place in the curriculum of the senior high schools of the United States. In many schools every pupil is required to take American history in order to be eligible to graduate from high school. If American history is not included as a specific subject offered in the curriculum of a senior high school, then one may expect to find it incorporated into some other part of the curriculum, perhaps into a general social studies course.
