Sarah Bernhardt: Her Life And Art, Loretta Klopfer

Bachelors’ Theses

The Theatre is a world apart--a world by itself; it enacts its own laws, and rules its subjects according to them. The life that revolves around the Theatre is probably the most beautiful, the most artistic, the most fascinating, the most intriguing--yet the most cruel, the most fickle, the most exacting, the most difficult life. The Theatre lauds and applauds you while you bring it fame; it ignores you, once you fail to enrich its splendor. It demands your youth, your freshness, your energy, and your talent, only to force you into oblivion when your talents and energy have been …

Salivary Gland Chromosomes Of Drosophila Melanogaster And The Bar Duplication In The Heterozygous Fly, Gertrude H. Tromp

Bachelors’ Theses

in view or the fact that salivary gland chromosomes are being so thoroughly studied at the present time, it is interesting to notice that as early as 1881 Balbiani reported the chromosomes in the Chironomus fly. He interpreted the "bands" which are of such importance to the cytologists today, as disks of chromatic material. The achromatic material he called "zwischensubstanz" or as it is now termed the matrix. Leydig (1883) also worked with the Chironomus fly. He thought that the "bands" were similar to muscle fiber striation. Carnoy (1884) believed the chromosomes were hollow cylinders and the chromatin arranged to …

We choose Italy for our study, because she is the mother of this phenomenon -- Fascism having originated in Italy -- and because Fascism received its name by and from that country. Wherever necessary, we will, for the purpose of elucidation, make allusions to and draw comparisons with the forms of Fascism existing in other countries. The purpose of this paper, then, is to make a searching inquiry into the institutions of the Italy of today as compared with the pre-Fascist Italy, so that we will be enabled to determine the true nature of Fascism.

The Child In The Modern Kindergarten, Helen June Whalen
