The Geography Of Marlboro Town, Vermont, Ethel A. Frank

Honors Papers

Green, forest-covered mountains and hills, winding valleys with farmhouses surrounded by boulder strewn hayfields, cattle scattered upon the rocky slopes and in woodland pastures, boulder laden streams- this is the picture which Marlboro Town, in Windham County, Vermont conveys to one who surveys its landscape from any hilltop site. It is a typical New England town, located in southeastern Vermont, in the midst of the Green Mountains.

Physiographically Marlboro Town is located in the "Appalachian Highland Division in the New England Province, and the Green Mountain Section, which consists of linear ranges of old subdued mountains", long and severely deformed, …

Geology And Acid Intrusions Of Marlboro Township, Vermont, Stanley Gordon Elder

Honors Papers

It is the aim of this paper to examine the mineralization resulting from the intrusion of acid dikes and veins into the schists of Marlboro township, Vermont, and to give a brief account of the geology of the area.

The problem of mineralization in southern Vermont is one which has been treated very slightly and is one which is deserving of more study than it has received. This problem results from the presence of numerous acid igneous masses in all the formation of the region. Petrographic research in the igneous intrusions was done partially with the hope that the study …

Some Significant Phases Of Justin Martyr In The Development Of Early Christianity, Elmer G. Homrighausen

Graduate Thesis Collection

The original inspiration to undertake this study issues from composite sources.  Undoubtedly, in the last analysis, it was implanted by the personalities of great teachers, whose contagious enthusiasm for Christian history I contracted early in my theological and later graduate study.  Great teachers, who are intimately acquainted with the ongoing currents of Christian life through the centuries, who have developed a love for the Christian movement, whose mature scholarship gives them the power to discern the real essence of the Christian religion in its historic expressions, these are still the keys to the real understanding of Church history, these are …

The Missionary Activities Of R. H. Graves, 1853-1912, Jack Powers

Honors Theses

In the year 1853, Rosewell Hobart Graves was a Baptist minister in the city of Baltimore. However, he was unhappy there because he realised that in American almost everyone might her of the gospel while in other lands mens were perishing without ever having heard the name of Jesus. Thus he was prompted to seek a foreign field.

Sometime in the late Spring or early Summer of that year, he applied to the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, in Richmond, Virginia, to be sent as a missionary to wherever they needed him most. In the middle of …

The Spinning Top, Aaron Jefferson Miles

Masters Theses

"Several mathematicians have solved the problems of motion of the top and gyroscope most completely, but none of them have considered in their solutions the effects of the supporting gimbal rings upon the motion or the effects of a variable rotor speed. It is the purpose of this paper to investigate the top equations by two well known methods; namely, by the method of Lagrange and by the method of Jacobi; considering in both the dynamics of the gimbal rings and varying rotor speed"--Introduction, page 3.

A Qualitative Study Of Arsine And Stibine Reactivity Toward Inorganic Salts In Certain Solvents, John Edgar Antener

Masters Theses

"The effects of arsine and stibine on some substances have been investigated by various workers and recorded without any attempt at systematic classification. In this work a more comprehensive study of the precipitating effect of arsine and stibine on common inorganic salts in certain solvents, namely, water, ethyl alcohol, ethyl ether, acetone, carbon disulphide, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, and benzene has been made, with an attempt at reactivity classification"--Introduction, page 1.

A Study Of An Objective Placement Examination For Sectioning College Physics Classes, John Milton Willson

Masters Theses

"For several years the Department of Physics of the Missouri School of Mines has practiced sectioning of its classes in general physics. The aim has been to segregate in one section the students of superior ability, giving them a course including both the fundamentals of physics and their applications in engineering. The remainder are given a course in fundamentals without placing so much stress upon the applications...Another criterion used to supplement the first-year grade record is the student's score on the Iowa Placement Examinations. The physics examination consists of two parts, the Training Series and the Aptitude Series. These examinations …

Some Results Of Magnetometric Surveying In Missouri, John Gustave Grohskopf

Masters Theses

"This thesis describes the results of a series of magnetic surveys carried on in the state of Missouri. The financial assistance required for the work was granted in the form of a fellowship to the author by the Industrial Club of the Industrial Bureau of St. Louis; Mr. George S. Smith, Director. Since the progress of any industrial center is accelerated by the mineral resources contiguous to it, the Industrial Club believed that further research upon known and also undeveloped mineral deposits might result in the development of them. It was decided that geophysical methods of research might show greater …

Studies In The Distribution Of Orbitolina Walnutensis Carsey, Shirley Alfred Lynch

Masters Theses

"This paper has shown the stratigraphic and geographic range of the foraminifer, Orbitolina walnutesis Carsey. Samples from sections in thirteen counties in north and north central Texas have been studied. Many geologists have previously studied these sections in detail, correlation them and published the results"--Summary and Conclusions, page 73.

A Study Of Anode Corrosion And Its Influence On Cathode Purity In Electrolytic Zinc Production, Harold John Roesser

Masters Theses

"Anode corrosion is a problem with which electrolytic zinc producers have been concerned from the beginning of the practice. It has been attacked here from the view of modern practice, using alloyed anodes"--Introduction, page 1.

Flotation Of A Western Complex Ore, Guy Verdier Martin

Masters Theses

"The flotation of the complex sulphide ore, which is the subject of this investigation, has been in progress on a large scale for several years. As the operation has been successful it follows that the ore dressing methods have been developed in much detail. For further improvements an intense investigation is required. The complex nature of the ore opens many avenues of research along some of which clues may be found that will lead to ultimate savings. It is along a few of these avenues that this investigation has been directed. Hence an effort was made to add to the …

Comparison Of Results Obtained On Ores From The Tri-State Zinc-Lead District After Grinding To Different Sizes And Concentrating By Flotation, Hans Maucher

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this investigation is to compare the phenomena observed in concentrating a zinc ore by flotation, using a constant and new flowsheet as described a few pages later and varying only the sizes to which the headsamples are ground previous to each test"--Summary, page 1.

The Three-Point Gap As A Means Of Control In Instantaneous Photography, Elgin Albert Denio

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

In 1926, Wynn Williams investigated the theory of the three-point gap, which phenomenon had been known and utilized for some time but until his investigation was not understood theoretically. This investigation has been divided into two distinct parts: First, when the energy was generated by a large Toepler-Holtz station machine; and second when the energy was generated by a one-kilowatt, 25,000 volt transformer.

The Madison And Indianapolis Railroad, Freda L. Bridenstine

Graduate Thesis Collection

Accustomed as we are today to paved highways, motor cars, steam railways, and airplanes it is difficult for us to picture the conditions of travel and transportation prevailing in Indiana in the early years of the last century. There were no canals, railroads, or pikes. All the streams except the Ohio were seriously obstructed by fallen trees, debris, snags, and sand bars. What wagon roads existed were frequently impassable and practically always bad.
