The Paleozoic Stratigraphy Of Lorain County, Ohio, Edwin Hugo Wenberg

Honors Papers

During the course of the school year 1936-37 spent at Oberlin, which is situated near the center of Lorain County, Ohio, the writer had the opportunity to study the outcrops and to gather records of wells in this area.

A study of the strata of this county is confusing because the same rocks have been described under different formational names. Originally many of these strata were traced northward from type sections in central Ohio or westward from type sections near Cleveland. At a later date many of the strata were reclassified and assigned to formations which had been traced westward …

Italian Renaissance Painters & Pictures In The Poems Of Rob. Browning, Sadie Haynes Maxwell

Theses

The critics agree that the underlying theme of all the poetry of Robert Browning is the human soul, and that his study of humanity is the outstanding characteristic of his poetic efforts. The critics also agree that another great personal interest of Browning’s dictated the second characteristic of his poetry, his constant reference to five fine arts. The effect of Browning’s deep interest in personality upon his employment of artistic themes was to direct him toward those arts that most clearly and intensely disclose the artist as a man, namely music and painting. The intimate and first-hand information that gave …

Teaching First Grade Language, Dorthy Jennings

Theses

The Problem of this thesis is to discover suitable content and method for teaching oral language to a group of low first grade children. There was a two-fold reason for this choice; first, there is a great need for research into oral language techniques and second, the oral language situation is very difficult where there is a mixed group of Mexican and American children.

Diplomacy - Rio Grande 1842 - 1848, Frances Sohein Jones

Theses

The Mexican War was not waged for the purpose of acquiring Texas by force since Texas had become a part of the United States after having won her independence. The Mexican war was fought for this reason and not for that so often given that the United States instigated it because of a lust for additional territory. Mexico, thought refusing to recognize this independence, accepted the inevitable, but did not consider the strip of land between the Nueces and the Rio Grande rivers as Texas territory.

A Critical Study Of The Browning-Wedgwood Letters, Alma Augusta Shaffer

Theses

In 1864, three years after the death of his wife, Robert Browning engaged in a correspondence with Frances Julia Wedgwood, an intellectual spinster of thirty. Miss Wedgwood was a woman of distinguished ancestry, being a descendant also of Sir James Mackintosh, and a relation by marriage of Charles Darwin. Miss Redwood had long been an admirer of Browning's poetry. She herself had written several novels, so it was natural that sooner or later an occasion should arise when she and Robert Browning would meet.

Greek And Roman Child Life As Represented In Some Greek And Latin Authors, Anne Louise Sanford

Honors Theses

In the following study I have attempted to present a picture of Greek and Roman child life as it is represented in some Greek and Latin authors. Most of my material has been derived from well known authors such as Homer, Plato, Quintilian, etc. But there has been an attempt to enlarge my scope by consulting some other Greek and Latin authors easily available in the University of Richmond Library, the Richmond Public Library and the Virginia state Library. In my general discussion I have drawn freely on available works which would be helpful for elucidation and comparison.

Economic And Social Implications Of The Southern Literary Messenger 1834-1864, James E. King

Honors Theses

From 1774 to 1824 Virginia played the most conspicuous role in creating and directing a union of democratic states. In 1861 there is the anomaly of the Old Dominion occupying the stellar position in an attempt to disrupt the confederation which was her hands-work. No amount of explanation as to economic interests, slavery, abolitionism or frustration seems in the last analysis, adequate in understanding this great transition. When reasonable arguments are exhausted and there is yet no central solution to the problem, there remains only the catholic element of change as a conclusion.

Reconstruction In Richmond City Government, Philip Turner King

Honors Theses

By 1870 the "corner" had been rounded. The end of reconstruction was in full view and was momentarily expected. Still, the hope for the reestablishment of Virginia's former status was based entirely upon rumor. It was a period when people held their breaths. Readmission was being fought bitterly in the congress. To Sumner the election in Virginia had been just one big fraud and the state was still "smoking with rebellion.

The Catalytic Vapor-Phase Hydrolysis Of Benzene And Toluene, Clemens Raebel Maise

Masters Theses

"The vapor-phase synthesis of organic compounds represents a new field of study which has attracted the attention of investigators only within recent years. However, wide interest is apparent in this field and several processes of commercial importance have already been developed. Hydrolysis is perhaps the newest of all the types of vapor-phase synthesis; the literature consists of little more than a few patents...The vapor-phase hydrolysis of benzene and toluene, therefore, presented an interesting possibility. These two hydrocarbons are considered very stable toward water in the liquid-phase. The purpose of this investigation was to determine to what extent their stability toward …

Laboratory Concentration Of A Lead-Zinc-Fluorspar Ore From Southern Illinois, Shiou-Chuan Sun

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this investigation was to ascertain the feasibility of preparing marketable products from a rather complex sulphide-fluorspar ore"--Object, page 2. "The ore was examined exhaustively by chemical, microscopic, and mineralogical methods of analysis. After a thorough knowledge of the physical characteristics of the ore had been obtained, flotation concentration tests were made to separate the sulfide minerals from the fluorspar and to attempt to prepare lead-zinc and fluorspar concentrates of marketable grade"--Scope of Work Done, page 2.

Oil And Gas Resources, Jackson County, Missouri, Joseph Robinson Clair

Masters Theses

"The oil and gas production in Jackson County, though rather small, is nevertheless of considerable economic importance. A portion of the county has been rather thoroughly developed but the remainder has had little prospecting. In order to aid further development in the region the Missouri Geological Survey engaged in the mapping of all the known wells in the county as a basis for preparing a structural contour map of the area. In addition, a member of the Survey staff is stationed permanently in Kansas City to give assistance to the operators in the region and to collect the logs of …

The Chivalric Ideal In The Work Of Sir Walter Scott, Margaret E. Remy

Graduate Thesis Collection

During the school year of 1936-1937 I became intensely interested in the study of the Chivalry as brought out in Dr. Harrison's graduate course on The Arthurian Legend.  I was curious to know how Sir Walter Scott, with some of whose novels and poems I was acquainted, had used the chivalric ideal in his work.  Out of that curiosity grew the desire to study further the chivalric ideal and its relation to Scott.  The result of my study of the past year is the survey following.

Social Service In The Indianapolis Schools, Marion L. Griffin

Graduate Thesis Collection

Investigation disclosed the fact that coordinated under one unit of service are several diversified but related fields of work administered by a staff of trained social workers who are directed by persons especially qualified for this work.  Realizing that an efficient program of this type could have inestimable social values interest was further stimulated to obtain knowledge of the method and technique employed in its application.  Just how much of such a program, if not all, could be introduced effectively to other school systems is a question.

Jewish Proselyte Baptism And Its Relation To Christian Baptism, Glen W. Mell

Graduate Thesis Collection

With a Disciple background, the writer of this thesis has quite naturally been very much interested in the subject of Christian baptism.  Any study of the value and meaning of Christian baptism will, of course, lead one back to a consideration of its origin.  It seems that one is usually content with the conviction that Jesus instituted baptism and lets it go at that.

An Experiment In Personal Guidance In The Junior High School, Madeline M. Allen

Graduate Thesis Collection

There are numerous books on guidance, educational, moral, religious, ethical, social, civic and vocational, but nowhere does there seem to be a book dealing with personal guidance as we understand it in the seventh and eighth grades of the Junior High School in the Indianapolis Public Schools.  Here are there, scattered in many, many books are suggestions, outlines, scales and graphs for every conceivable situation in which personal guidance would be necessary.
