Algae are found everywhere; they are our commonest water plants. Among the green algae we have some of the most beautiful and fascinating forms in the plant kingdom and undoubtedly Pediastrum and Scenedesmus, the two genera studied, are among the most beautiful of all.

The Recovery Of Copper In Sulphide Ores By Roasting, Leaching, And Electrolysis, Jack S. Greenough

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Sulphide ores of copper are insoluble in dilute sulphuric acid leaching solutions, but a very high extraction can be obtained if the copper ore is in the oxidized condition. The problem is to convert the sulphide into the oxide form. This can be done by giving the sulphide ore an oxidizing-sulphatizing roast. Copper sulphate is soluble in water, so acid will be saved in the leaching process if copper sulphate is present. The iron in the copper sulphide ores is present as pyrite, or in combinations as bornite, or chalcopyrite.

The Effect Of The Fe2: Fe3 Ratio Upon The Current Efficiency In The Electrolysis Of A Copper Sulfate Solution Containing Iron Sulfate, Roy Macfarland

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

In the treatment of copper ores by hydro-electro-metallurgical methods, not only is copper deposited, but other metals are also dissolved. In practice it has been found* that iron, under certain conditions, causes the copper to deposit on the cathode as a nonadherent precipitate and also that the iron in solution causes a great decrease in current efficiency, es­pecially when the electrolysis is conducted by operating with a higher current density at the cathode than at the anode.

The present investigation deals with the effects of the two valences of iron on the current efficiency and endeavors to determine whether or …

Some Notes On The Composition Of "Copper Pitch", Richard R. Matthew

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

A supply of so-called "copper pitch" ore was received by the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology in response to a request by them from a resident of Kalispell, who had previously sent a specimen to the Bureau for a mineralogical analysis.

Since this material was little known and had apparently received but little study under a reflec­ting microscope, it was thought that such a study might throw some light on the mineralogical and chemical composition of the material.

The Aplitic Body Bordering Roosevelt Drive South Of Butte, Montana, Edward B. Trueworthy Jr.

A Bentonite Deposit Near Warm Springs, Montana, R. H. Larson

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

This report deals with a bentonite deposit recently developed, approximately seven miles northeast of Warm Springs, Montana. A group of claims have been staked on the deposit and are owned by the Lincoln Mining Company of Anaconda, Montana. The company also has several claims prospected for silver one mile from its present site of operations, but the silver prospects have failed to produce. The bentonite deposit was discovered incidentally during the course of other development work, and at present two adits have been driven into the side of a mountain, each crosscutting a vein-like mass of bentonite varying from two …

The Teaching Of Art In The Public Schools, Emma Dorothy Hamann

Bachelors’ Theses

We are in the midst of a vigorous and widespread reform movement in educational methods. The great aims of the new trends are creative self-expression and development of a tolerant adaptation to environment. In contrast to uni­formity, standardization, and conformity to ideas of others, the twentieth century philosophy emphasizes confident affirma­tion or the importance of self, uniqueness and originality. Development of technique becomes a means toward an end, not an end in itself. The new education seeks to evoke and to build upon the urge to create. Hughes Mearns so fittingly stated, "It cannot be summoned. It can only be …

Safety Education In The Elementary Grades, Lilly E. Schaefer

Bachelors’ Theses

It i the primary purpose of the school to enable the oncoming generation to adjust itself to the natural and social environment in which it must live and work.

The fact that two-thirds of all the accidental deaths occur …

Arithmetical Progressions, Frances Agnes Scherkenbach

Bachelors’ Theses

Of the origin and the methods of treatment very little is known. The arithmetic and geometric progression first attracted attention after the Greeks had brought into prominence the harmonic series. The term ’series’ is derived from the Greek, while the term’ progression’ is derived from the Latin. The latter term was used most prominently until the seventeenth century, during which period the writers seemed to prefer the term "series" which is now mosy [sic] generally used.

Play In Education, Mary Gratiana Mcparland

Bachelors’ Theses

There is always occasion for stressing the necessity of more physical exercise and recreation, especially of the kind that makes for developing body and mind alike. In these pages the compiler endeavors to show that ’’the old order changeth,” because life continually grows more complex, and an ever-increasing number of people seek the cities in order to make their homes there. Methods must change with changing times, and pro¬ vision must be made for the healthful recreation of the masses.

Pre-Primer Reading, Meta Terlinden

Bachelors’ Theses

I shall attempt to show, in this thesis, the importance and· feasibility of pre-primer reading as an adequate foundation for primer reading. While pre-primer reading has taken an important place in the curriculum during recent years, there has been an ever-increasing interest taken as to its value, especially to children of low intelligence and to foreign children. I have obtained my references, to a large extent from William S. Gray and Laura Zirbes in their article on Primary Reading which appears in the Class Room Teacher Volume II, and also from articles on reading which are given in The Twenty-Fourth …

Line Play, William J. Wamtulonis

Bachelors’ Theses

Prior to 1896 the rules did not require more than one man on the line of scrimmage when the ball was put in play. Under these rules, the famous "flying wedge" was developed, in which ten of the eleven men were in motion when the ball was snapped. The rules were later changed, requiring five men to be on the line of scrimmage when the ball was put in play. This rule, together with its companion rule that "no player shall take more than a single step before the ball is put in play, save the one man who may …

The study of solvents and non-solvents in lacquers entails a great deal of work which is unable to be covered in so small a space of time, and although this thesis attempts to understand the use of these solvents and non-solvents, it is just a mere uncovering of much more interesting work able to be done with further analysis in this field.

The Exceptionally Bright Child, And Provisions Made For Him In The Classroom, Ella T. Poppe

Bachelors’ Theses

Leadership and efficiency will always be determined by the sane, the apt, the well-balanced.

The apt, the .bright, the gifted pupil is not only entitled to our consideration as his right, but because of the necessity for his leadership in the progressive movements of our civilization. The public schools are criticized for not making provisions for the …

Goethe And Beethoven By Roman Rolland, Lillian S. Thekan

Bachelors’ Theses

Goethe, the great poet and Beethoven, the likewise great musician had known each other for a long time, but only from a distant. Beethoven, no doubt, had the greatest comprehension of the two. From his infancy he nourished himself with the works of Goethe. He read his works every day and finally Goethe occupied the place of Klopstock in his heart. Beethoven remarks, "Klopstock always wished to die and this happened very soon. Goethe, on the other hand, lived and we all must live with him. This is the reason that his works can be so easily set to music."
