The Metrics, Imagery And Philosophy Of Robert Frost, Gertrude Warner

This thesis is a study of the metrical practices, sources of imagery, and philosophy of life of Robert Frost.

The metrical study, based on Frost's blank verse only, was made for the purpose of determining the quality of his blank verse, and the effect produced by the use of substitutions, feminine endings, run-on lines, and end-stop lines. The metrical tables have been compiled after a careful study of 1811 lines of Frost's blank verse.

A Preliminary Study Of The Characteristic Physical Properties Of Chlorinated Asphalt, Ernest Clifford Spafford

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The introduction of chlorine into hydrocarbon compounds produces a product with properties markedly different from those of the original hydrocarbon. Methane, a gas at ordinary conditions, becomes methyl chloride, still a gas but having a higher condensation point than methane, upon the substitution of one chlorine atom in place of a hydrogen atom per molecule of methane. Upon the introduction of three atoms of chlorine per molecule of methane, chloroform, a very volatile liquid, is formed, and upon the introduction of four atoms of chlorine carbon tetrachloride, a less volatile liquid is produced.

Chlorination takes place in a “saturated” hydrocarbon …

The Development Of Mexican Music, Edith M. K. Tibbets

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Perhaps no country at the present time has a richer unexplored fount of folk music than has Mexico. In fact. her rich store of musical culture, like a vast mine scarcely worked entitles her to a position among those peoples whose folk music has long been firmly established.

Finding the source material on the music of Mexico for the most part, fragmentary and scattered, the writer decided to do serious research in translating from the early Spanish writers, and in reading the chronicles of the travelers of that early period, as well as the historical writings and the legendary lore …

The Modern Spanish Theatre : With Particular Emphasis Upon The Works Of Jacinto Benavente, Eunice Vivian Fitch

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The great literary movements affected Spanish drama less than that of any other country, though romanticism drew the public and stage closer. Realism and naturalism were slow in developing due to the "manifest incompatibility existing between the very spirit of the French realists and the Spanish national dramatic ideals."² Spanish national drama deals in elemental passions, is poetic in situations, and magnificently conventional in tone; while its literary form is more important than its dramatic structure.² French literature contains fine and subtle psychology, witty and ingenious, but is sometimes a little unsubstantial. Not universal theme but complex and …

Tendencies Of The Generation Of '98 As Exhibited In The Dramatic Works Of Jacinto Benavente And Gregorio Martinez Sierra, Helen Danner

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

One of the most widely discussed movements of modern Spain is the activity of a literary school usually termed the Generation of '98. The Spanish American War proved to be the final humiliation of a century of political and economic decline in Spain.

A group of young men decided that something must be done to save Spain from crumbling to pieces before their very eyes. They loved their country, and its decline made them heart-sick. They knew something must be done to startle the people and to make them realize that they were no longer living in the Golden Age …

William Taylor : Organizer And Statesman, Thomas Mee

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

To the average layman of the present day, as well as the majority of the new generation of ministers, the name of William Taylor rarely carries the deep impression that his labors justify. From the standpoint of the American Continents, this observation may have more in fact than in other parts of the world where his labors were more abundant in term of years devoted to the building of a more worthy civilization.

With a view to making more accessible the thrilling account of this truly noble Christian Statesman, much research has been made. In doing so, it is hoped …

The Christian Thought Of Doctor Toyohiko Kagawa And His Social Works And Movements, Eiichi Iimura

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The world recognizes Toyohiko Kagawa as the St. Francis of Japan. His heart is one of pure love like that of St. Francis, but his battle has not been carried on by means of the sermon in a religious denomination. With a heart of love Kagawa has stood in the streets and would save the lives of the people. This is because he was born in 20th century Japan and not in Italy of the Middle Ages.

Fifteen hundred years after the fall of ancient Rome the world once more is about to undergo a mighty change. At this time …
