A Study And Application Of The Process Of Supergene Enrichment Of Silver Ores., Arthur C. Verling

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

In many deposits of silver ores the grade of the ore de­creases considerably a few hundred feet below the surface.

It is recognized, however, that many rich silver ores are hypogene deposits that have been affected very little, if any, by processes of enrichment.

The Council Of Colonial Virginia : 1700-1750, Esther Campbell Walsh

Honors Theses

1660 is the date conveniently accepted as marking the turn of Virginia society away from its early democratic character. After that date, colonial society became clearly stratified, and by the turn of the century had received its set firmly in the mold of aristocracy. The institution in which all the elements of aristocracy concentrated was the Governor's Council, which exhibited social, political, and economic power centered in the hands of a ruling few. The period from 1700 to 1750 is the high tide of councillor power. In the years before 1700, the steady rise of its power was interrupted by …

A Critical Analysis Of Jonathan Edwards' Treatise On The Freedom Of The Will, Ralph Harold Metcalfe

I have chosen as my thesis, A Critical Analysis of Jonathan Edwards’ Treatise on …

Irving Babbitt As Critic And Humanist, C. Carroll Hollis

Bachelors’ Theses

To become legendary while living is, generally speaking, unfortunate. Such as Irving Babbitt's lot. Probably his death will gradually evoke a legend of a more accurate and objective kind. He was by many regarded as a conscientious pedant, and was never what might be called "popular". It must be admitted that his gift was of a nature that has always made for unpopularity.

William Dean Howells, His Realism And Relation To Our Contemporaries, Joseph Dzwinel

Bachelors’ Theses

In Howells novels v,e find liberalism, a deep sympathy with the "little man", hatred of plutocracy, and abundance of esthetic virtue, and a critique of industrial capitalism by which we are coming to test Howells mental calibre. The novels with all their virtues, ease of style, urbanity, irony, humanity, sharp dissent from the ideas and practices of our commercial world, lend themselves very gracefully to study of their influence on contemporary literature and contemporary reading tastes. The purpose of this study is to show these influences.
