The Ethics Of Advertising, Richard H. Derry

Bachelors’ Theses

One hundred years ago business was largely carried on within the limits or individual communities and consumers were more or less intimately acquainted with producers. At that time there was in the economic proceedure of the country a certain amount of pride in workmanship and flimsiness in products was not tolerated. When a builder erected a house he built it to last; fully realizing that any faulty construction would jeopardize his reputation as a craftsman. And so it was with practically all industries, each town having nearly a complete set of them. There were a few commodities that came from …

Social And Political Ideas Of The Poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, John H. Boman

Bachelors’ Theses

An attempt has been made to weave a web containing the ideas, both social and political, of Percy Bysshe Shelley. web will glisten in the sun, and a web made of the social and political ideas of Shelley will always glisten, because Shelley will never die.

We will attempt to understand the sources of his radical tendencies, and then in turn study his social and political ideas. Some have called Shelley insane, and some have called him a prudent thinker. How true these are we will see as we weave the story of his social and political ideas.

Communities are outdoing each other in improving the …

The Real Causes Of The Death Of Socrates, Casimir F. Hojnacki

Bachelors’ Theses

Among the men of Pagan antiquity none stand higher mentally nor morally than Socrates. His colossal genius has yet to be equaled. His life was above reproach though his views at times were influenced by the beliefs of the age. He worked for his people, but they appreciated him not. Finally indicted by his enemies, tried and sentenced to death, his last moments were an epitome and a climax of his life. Was he guilty? It is well to sea whether the charges were true or what the real causes of his death were.

Producer Gas Practice In The Steel Industry, Horace Wilfred Hodges

Professional Degree Theses

"The sources of energy for the industries are: 1. Water power; 2. coal, lignite, peat and Wood; 3. Natural and Artificial Gas; 4. Oil; 5. The Sun;s Rays; 6. The tides. The latter two sources may be eliminated from immediate practical use, owing to their cost and limited application. Therefore, the burden for many years will rest upon Water power, coal, gas and oil. We may also eliminate water power from the source of energy of the steel industry, due to the Mill's geographical location. Hence, for the near future, the steel industry's soul rests upon the production of coal, …

The Effect Of Occluded Air In Dry-Press Mixes, William Raymond Powell

Bachelors Theses

"The effect of occluded air in clay mixes has recently become a subject of considerable importance especially since some of the defects occuring sic in dry-press ware, such as cracks and soft or granulated centers, have been either partially or wholly attributed to occluded air. According to this theory, the defects are due to the entrapping of air among the clay grains before compression, which, when the pressure is released, has a tendency to expand and cause a rupture in the bond. Also granulated centers have been explained by the fact that the entrapped air may act as a cushion, …

The Testing Of Steel For Wear By Abrasives, Thomas Evan Eagan

Professional Degree Theses

"The tests herein reported were conducted with the idea of finding a steel which would give improved wear as roll shells in the comminution of ores...Not only must the wear be considered, but also the physical properties. It is desirable to have a steel of such Tensile and impact values that no failure by breakage would occur until the shell was worn very thin. The ideal condition being to wear the shell down to zero thickness, but such cannot be accomplished"--Introduction, page 2.

The Effect Of Various Methods Of Grinding On The Physical Properties Of Unfired Dry Press Brick, Edwin Theodore Harvey

Bachelors Theses

"In the manufacture of dry press brick, the final grinding of the clay is usually done in a dry pan. This is especially true of fire brick made by the dry press method. It is logical to assume that different types of grinding machines will impart different characteristics to the ground clay mix, as regards the grain size variation and the shape of the grains, which in turn will have an effect on the properties of the brick. The purpose of this investigation was to determine what effect different types of grinding methods have on the physical properties of unfired …
