Intelligence In Action, Robert A. Gossett

Graduate Thesis Collection

As we look about us and evaluate the many personalities with which we come in contact, we are never sure that our judgments will stand critical survey.  We observe men as they engage in play, we watch them at their work, and we may engage them in conversation.  But with all these contacts, there is always a doubt when we say this man is intelligent and that man is not.  There are intelligence tests by the score, but they are inadequate to cope with this problem for two reasons.

A Study Of The Activities And Opportunities Of Boys In Omaha, William Glenn Sullenger

Student Work

As truly as the caterpillar takes on wings and the tadpole lungs and limbs, of which neither had any trace before, the boy takes on not only habits and instincts and ways of getting on in the world, but actual new structure as well. Boyhood begins with the second set of teeth; it ends with the advent of the beard and a new set of enzymes in the blood. Neither boy nor grub nor pollywog passes on to the next stage of his existence by any mere enlargement.

The Importance Of The Study Of Anatomy To The Figure Artist, Dorothy Young

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Anatomy is of little use to the student if he has not grasped how to draw form, but it helps him to invent form. Without an understanding of how to invent, we can only make flat plans of the anatomy inside the outline; but once the drawing of bones and structure has been understood, all the anatomy that the student knows may be to his advantage.

An artist must know as much science as he can use. If he knows more, there is a chance that sciences will use him. It is the structure of the body he must grasp …
