The Art Of Upton Sinclair, Ralph L. Kozlowicz

Bachelors’ Theses

The intention of this thesis is to discuss the art of Upton Sinclair. With the conception of art in literature as we know it, in mind, and also a general idea of the type of writing Mr. Sinclair has done, the orthodox association of art and literature in this case seems hardly compatible. Many critics question the existence of any art at all in Sinclair’s writings, and in their interpretation call it by other names. If his works had cause in effecting a desired result, there should be no reason to bar his writings from the category of art. His …

Typical Women Characters In Three Of Gerhart Hauptmann's Naturalistic Dramas, Florence Cohen

Bachelors’ Theses

Innumerable papers dealing with various phases of Hauptmann's works have been written. Many, if not, all of them emphasize the story of his Dramas, the construction from the standpoint of naturalism, etc. Few, if any, however, have stressed Hauptmann as a character delineator, nor have they emphasized his treatment of the women. It is for this reason that the writer wishes to discuss three of Hauptmann 's Naturalistic Social Dramas emphasizing the treatment of the women with special regard to heredity and environment.

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

A Proposed Vocational Guidance Program For The Phillis Wheatley High School Houston, Texas, J. Chilton Lee

All Theses

Vocational guidance knows nothing of absolute failure and absolute success, but neither is it a game of chance. A game of dice is a game of chance to the man who plays it in the back street, yet the actuarian could predict his winnings or losings almost to the cent if he can assume that the man plays the game consistently. In the same way, vocational guidance is but little more than a chance to the director of guidance whose only reliance is upon intuition and "hunches". On the other hand, it is not too much to hope that someday …

The Vitamin D And Provitamin D Content Of Some Varieties Of Utah Wheat, Harold M. Nielsen

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Cereal grains were known to be notably deficient in the anti-rachitic principle even before the discovery of vitamin D. Clinicians had associated a type of rickets of infancy, characterized by an over-weight, flabby, bowlegged condition, with a diet consisting mainly of cereals. Mellanby (1) in 1921 concluded that this type of rickets is induced by overfeeding with carbohydrates. He also showed in the same report, however, that oatmeal, although it contains less carbohydrates than the other grains tested, possesses a special tendency toward rachitogenesis.
