Reasons For Epicurus' Selection Of Atomism As The Basis Of His Ethical System, Eugene P. Trebby

Bachelors’ Theses

The fame and recognition of Epicurus has been derived almost entirely from his ethical theory. However, Epicurus did not confine his study to this sole branch of philosophy. He became interested in the field of natural science, and as a very ardent proponent of atomism. It has been the purpose of this study to attempt to discover the reasons of Epicurus for placing his theory of ethics upon the foundation of atomism. This work, however, could not have attained completion without the aid received from the works of Cyril Bailey. The writer is very deeply Indebted to Mr. Bailey for …

Hawthorne's Women, Catherine Kraemer

Bachelors’ Theses

As prescribed by the law of widowhood, a twenty-seven years’ old woman had begun its hindoo-like observance by seclusion, - a seclusion which only death, forty years later, would break. Seldom after this event was the four-year old boy, Nathaniel Hawthorne, to have any close family ties with his bereaved mother whose husband died at sea. It was the beginning of events and factors which were to overshadow Hawthorne’s attitudes and reactions to womanhood, and which would ultimately be cast in his novels.

There were three women who were to indelibly impress the receptive mind of Hawthorne; they were: Mrs. …

The Development Of The Public Schools In New Mexico Between 1848 And 1900, Thomas J. Mayfield Jr.

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The conditions of New Mexico and its time of annexation to the United States were different from most other territories that had been added. The population was composed almost entirely of Spanish descent and Indians. Their customs and ideas of church and state differed completely from those of the American subjects. The climatic and geographic conditions of the territory caused the living conditions to be entirely different. The problem in this study is to show how these conditions affected the educational development and how many obstacles were overcome in establishing a system of public schools. The legal status of the …

Professional Degree Theses

"This paper deals primarily with the use of small-scale models in the study of plans for improving the channel for navigation in several reaches of the Middle Mississippi River. However, it was considered expedient to include a discussion of hydraulic model experimentation in general before dealing with specific cases, in order that the reader might obtain the greatest possible satisfaction from the discussion.

The first part of this paper includes: a discussion of the theory of models, wherein the value and utility of models are demonstrated; the application of models to hydraulic problems, including the requirements for a model to …

The Latouche Mining Method As Used At The Alaska Juneau Gold Mine, Willard Alexander Gallemore

Professional Degree Theses

"The Latouche Mining Method has been used at the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company only since 1933, and is used in that part of the mine below the main tramming level. It consists of a series of radiating "long holes" (21 feet) drilled from stope raises, over the back of the stope. These holes break the rock into the stopes, from where it goes through bulldoze chambers to oreways leading to chutes on the No. 10 level. On this level, the ore is drawn into Granby Cars, trammed to the Main Shaft, and hoisted to No. 4 level. On this …

How South-West Wisconsin Tailing Piles Can Be Worked At A Profit, Gerald Henry Pett

Professional Degree Theses

"It was not until the Flotation Process was introduced in this S.W. Wisconsin zinc district that the writer was convinced that some of the tailing piles here could be worked at a profit. In 1928, the Badger Zinc Company built a 120 ton Flotation Plant about two miles north-east of Linden. It was after the second visit to the plant that the writer learned the above company was making a profit of a 5% zinc ore with very little lead and with a low market price for the finished product, namely $30.00 per ton for a 60% zinc concentrate...the body …

Sinking And Equipping Inclined Shafts Of More Than 60 Degree Dip, Wilford Stillman Wright

Professional Degree Theses

"The advisability of putting down an inclined shaft in preference to the vertical type should be carefully considered before a definite choice is made. One, of course, presupposes the existence of a dipping ore body that is to be prospected or developed for subsequent mining. Unless a vein has been previously developed there is no certainty that it maintains the same degree of pitch for any great distance below surfaces. If straight, the proposed inclined shaft may depart considerably from the downward course of the vein with the result, that, at least some of the anticipated advantages of the shaft …

Superstructure Costs Of Short Span Self-Anchored Suspension Bridges, David J. Peery

Professional Degree Theses

"Complete designs and estimates for three self-anchored highway suspension bridges are made in this paper. The span lengths investigated are commonly considered to be shorter than the economic limit for suspension bridges. Simple truss and cantilever bridges are usually considered the most economic types for these span lengths"--Synopsis, page 1.

Hydrography Of The Larger Springs Of The Ozark Region Of Missouri, Warwick Lewis Doll

Professional Degree Theses

"This thesis is based upon a study of the larger springs of the Ozark Region of Missouri and is designed to answer many requests for information about the large springs.

Special studies were made to determine the probable location and approximate area of the drainage areas of the large springs (previous writers have referred to the drainage areas as being “very large" or "enormous", apparently, without any very definite idea as to the extent or the drainage areas). The average run-off per square mile from the assumed drainage area, herein called the "spring factor", was determined for the largest springs. …

An Approach To County Planning - Miller County, Frederick William Hurd

Professional Degree Theses

"The purpose of this report is to present and discuss a proposed eight year state and county highway program as applicable to Miller County. Local needs for transportation service may be most readily and efficiently administered to on the county basis. The highway requirements of the state are now largely for local service roads and it is evident that a fair and just method of allocating this service must provide for the physical characteristics, economical status and local peculiarities of the area involved. We may therefore justly assume that the counties, the smallest political subdivisions in the state having direct …

Conveyor Mining In The Thin Vein Coal Fields At Excelsior, Arkansas, Bernard Degen Boyd

Professional Degree Theses

"From the results obtained after a year and a half of operation using the long face system of conveyor mining in our thin seam of coal, four decided advantages over the old system of room and pillar work with wide rooms have been proven: 1. Operations are concentrated in small sections, thereby permitting larger tonnages to be loaded. 2. One hundred per cent extraction of the vein is obtained (with the exception of main slope pillars) which prolongs the life of the mine. 3. The ventilation of this gaseous vein is simplified. 4. Production costs are reduced"--page 15.

A Mechanical Analysis Of The Oriskany Sandstone In Northwestern Virginia, Selma G. Hirsh

Honors Papers

The primary purpose of this paper is to present specific data as a means of explaining the sedimentation conditions at the time of deposition of the Oriskany Sandstone. The data were obtained through the use of laboratory methods upon specimens taken from several outcrops in the vicinity of Monterey, Virginia (see Darton's U.S.G.S. folio No. 51). In addition to the presentation of objective results, the author has attempted to make tentative interpretations of them, based primarily upon textural and shape analysis of the sediment. The writer realizes that the investigation is inadequate in many respects, due to lack of time …

An Appraisal Of The Roosevelt Monetary Policy, Robert J. Wright

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Probably no economic institution of our modern world is affected with a greater public interest than money. Few subjects have been more discussed and few factors have had more influence upon the progress of civilization than has money. It has become perhaps the most indispensable of all the tools which we use in our urbanized modern life. [...]
