Faraday's Laws Of Electrolysis, M. Aquinas

Bachelors’ Theses

Physics has no equal, perhaps, in bringing the student to an appreciation of the beauty, the order and the harmony or the universe, and thus drawing the heart and the mind to God whose unbounded powers executed the eternal and marvelous wonders that are all about us.

It is intensely fascinating to take peeps into the "laboratories of God" and wonder what will be the next secret that He will let man in on. It seems as the ages roll by He gradually allows us to share more and more in His secrets or nature; He appears to be slowly …

Analysis Of The Causes Of Bank Failures In New Mexico, 1920 To 1925, Tom L. Popejoy

Economics ETDs

From introduction:

Periods of depression in the business cycle which usually follow the boom conditions of prosperity will, in all cases, have a decided effect upon the business of banking. Good banking practice, when the depression sets in, demands a collection of the loans made in the period of prosperity in order to avert the decline in the value of the security behind them. This does not work out in most cases, however. Borrowers are not only unable to repay loans made by the banks in the boom period, but must even have additional funds to carry on their businesses. …

The Identification Of Jocelyn, Mary L. Mccormick

Graduate Thesis Collection

Who was Jocelyn? Did Lamartine's hero have a human counterpart? The question has tantalized readers ever since the kindly priest first crept into their hearts. The vivid reality of his life suggests the possibility of having dwelt in a world of actualities as well as in a realm of make-believe.

The Nature Of Method, Emma H. Mater

Bachelors’ Theses

The child, the learner, as the center of interest around which the materials of development group themselves, is a primary concept of the new school. Experience, is the keynote. According to Rugg & Shumaker (1), the aims of the new education are two-fold, maximum growth in creative self-expression on one hand, and tolerant understanding of self and of society on the other. Freedom, pupil initiative, the active school, with the essential element of child interest, are the articles of faith of the new educational program. Experience, the complete integrated life of the individual, must go on in a thoroughly integrated …

The Educational Value Of Christian Doctrine, M. Scholastica Walters

Bachelors’ Theses

This short thesis is offered with the hope of strengthening the belief that there can be no true education without moral training, and that the moral training without the religious is incomplete, and at times even proves baneful. It is incomplete in as much as vices lead to undermine the physical constitution and to blind the intellect, weaken the faculties and harden the heart; baneful, for intellectual development, without morality, may become a snare and a temptation to virtue.

Phonics A General Survey Of The Subject, Mary Rosalie

Bachelors’ Theses

"Phonics is a term usually applied to the study of sounds as they are related to reading." Its aim is to give the child power in the independent recognition of words, therefore, a knowledge of the use of phonics has always been considered a necessary part of the primary teacher's equipment, and probably no question has been more widely asked in the field of primary reading, than, "How and when shall phonics be taught?"

The Quantitative Analysis Of Sodium Acetate, Henry A. Budzinski

Bachelors’ Theses

There are many methods by which Sodium Acetate can be analysed for its purity. Each method is satisfactory and the results obtained vary only slightly. However, this essay is for the purpose of determining the method which is most suitable for all conditions, and setting this method as a standard.

An Evaluation Of The Shavian Theatre As A Criticism Of Life, Marie Louise Heipp

Bachelors’ Theses

Shaw's plays usually develop a single idea on which he hammers until it is beaten into shape. It is the aim of the writer to take the ideas Shaw has built his dramas upon and consider them as a criticism of life from the ec­onomic, moral and social point of view.

To attempt to write this thesis means to go over ground that has been covered repeatedly. Indebtedness is acknowledged for the following books which have been of most value in the preparation of this thesis: Chesterton: George Bernard Shaw; Shanks: Bernard Shaw; Various mag­azine articles. The plays …

Shakespeare's Genius Was Essentially A Dramatic One, Marie Valentine Prudeaux

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis, submitted to Xavier University in 1929, argues that Shakespeare's genius was essentially a dramatic one, examining his life, artistic development, and dramatic works across four periods of composition. A biographical account of Shakespeare's life at Stratford-on-Avon and London opens the study, followed by an analysis of the qualities that distinguish his genius, including originality, insight into character, and the power to portray emotion.

Prudeaux draws on the critical tradition of Dryden, Hazlitt, Johnson, Pope, and Schlegel, among others, to organize Shakespeare's dramatic output into four periods, characterized in the thesis as "In the Workshop," "In the World," "Out …

The Rise Of The Short Story In American Letters, Mary M. Barra

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Like all other nations America too has had her birth in the literally world. Her beginning has not been less forceful than other nations. We find that English literature, undivided in the past, at the end of the nineteenth century has four divisions: British, American, Canadian, and Australian. The British is still the most important since it has the greatest literary background. But the steadily growing American literature ranks second to it. We glory in this heritage as much as the British because we feel that it belongs to us as well, and prize this tremendous possession

Scholasticism An Intellectual Basis And Unifying Principle Of Modern Science, Alice V. Johnson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Amid the almost uninterrupted disintegration of systems during the last three centuries, the philosophy of St. Thomas has alone been able to stand the shock of criticism; it alone has proved sufficiently solid and comprehensive to serve as an intellectual basis and unifying principle for all the new facts and phenomena brought to light by modern science.

The Teaching Of Reading Affords One Of The Greatest Opportunities For The Development Of Character In The Junior High School, Dolores 0. Johnson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Ability to read well is the most important ability that can be developed in the elementary school. Reading, properly mastered, not only renders excellent service throughout life but it greatly reduces the time and effort required to master the other school subjects. The elementary school, then, should strive to develop in each child the ability to read well. If it does this, it has succeeded in its most important work.

Training For Citizenship, M. Alacoque

Bachelors’ Theses

"If in America there is to be an enduring government of the people, by the people, for the people, then such a government must be perpetually fed and vitalized from the sources of an intelligent and loyal citizenry. Senator Kenyon of Iowa in a recent address before the Lawyers' Club of New York said, "The greatest foe of the United States at present is ignorance. We have to meet this condition by a campaign of education. We can't bludgeon people into good citizenship."

Ibsen's Influence On British Dramatists, Elva Acklam

Bachelors’ Theses

In preparing this thesis I found that one must have an understanding of philosophy, sociology, biology and economics to appreciate the modern drama, and in the reading of the plays I found my knowledge in these subjects broadened. The dramatists and their characters' views on these branches of learning are most interesting, especially those in Bernard Shaw's prefaces.

The labor of the essay was simplified when I found that the reading of a play of Ibsen's or the others gave almost as much pleasure as witnessing it on the stage. Copious stage directions giving character analysis, situations, and literary descriptions …

Supervised Study, Alice L. Priestley

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis, submitted to Xavier University in 1929, examines supervised study as an instructional method and argues for its superiority over traditional recitation-based teaching. Priestley traces the historical development of the teaching function through three stages, from the teacher as disciplinarian, through an emphasis on psychologizing instruction, to the contemporary movement toward directing and supervising pupils' independent learning activities.

The thesis reviews a series of experimental studies comparing supervised study to conventional recitation and home study methods, including investigations by Reavis, Richard, Hill-Quest, Breslich, Minnich, and Brown and Worthington, conducted across subjects including algebra, plane geometry, arithmetic, and poetry at …

Romanticism In The Novels And Legends Of Gertudis Gomez De Avellaneda, Jean W. Mander

Graduate Thesis Collection

Not withstainding the adverse criticism given the prose works of Gertudis Gomez de Avellaneda by such men as Fitzmaurice-Kelly as less notable, I have found her novels and tales to be worthy of consideration. They are extremely romantic, some being full of the fantastic and grotesque, while others are historical similar to those of Sir Walter Scott. These romantic novels have a genuine and natural charm which makes them very pleasing to read. Most of them have been called sentimental tras , but still they contain numerous qualities of romanticism at its best. It will be my duty and pleasure …

Some Desmids Common To The Vicinity Of Milwaukee, Mary Charitas Kuehna

Bachelors’ Theses

The subject matter of this paper is "the minutest of pet nurslings of Nature the Desmids. So insignificant, that it is safe to say more than nine-tenths of the human race hardly know of their existence, the Desmids, nevertheless, offer a wide and extensive field for the moat fascinating study and research. The purpose of this paper is first, to give a brief history of the Desmids, and then to determine which families, genera, and species of the Desmids are most common in this vicinity, and to study the conditions which are most favorable for their growth.

Constitution And Specific Gravity Of The Ternary Mattes Cu2S-Fes-Pbs., William Earl Lindlief, John Otto Groh

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The constitution of the ternary mattes CU₂S-FeS-PbS has never been completely investigated. Fulton and Goodner 1) have investigated the binary mattes CU₂S-FeS, CU₂S-PbS, PbSFeS and have shown that the three binaries show eutectics. There has been no attempt however to draw the complete ternary diagram. The following work is intended to be a contribution toward the completion of this diagram by first of all pointing out those mattes which separate on melting into two layers, and second by determining the specific gravities of mattes of different compositions.

The Effect Of The Cu:Fe''' Ratio Upon The Current Efficiency In The Electrolysis Of A Copper Sulfate Solution Containing Iron Sulfate, Joseph Thomas Roy, Francis Carroll Moran

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

It is a well-known fact that, in the electrolysis of a CuSO₄ solution containing iron sulfate, using insoluble anodes, with the depletion of copper, the point is finally reached where the current efficiency becomes zero. This decrease in current efficiency is due to the oxidation of the ferrous sulfate to the ferric condition at the anode, by the oxygen liberated. The resulting ferric sulfate diffuses over to the cathode and there dissolves copper from the cathode according to the chemical equation Cu + Fe₂ (SO₄)₃ = CuSO₄ + 2FeSO_4. This copper, which has …

Miracles And Natural Law, Charles C. Nieman

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The purpose of this investigation, aside from academical requirements, which it is an attempt to fill, is to show that the position of the orthodox interpreters of Scriptures, especially in connection with the questions of the miraculous, is not unwarranted or ungrounded.

The Evolution Of Character Portrayal In Shakespeare's Comedies, Eugene M. Schoenfelder

Bachelors’ Theses

Movement whether forward or backward, toward improvement or deterioration, or upward or downward is found in everything on the face of the earth. The value of an invention increases until it has reached its peak, after which the usefulness begins to lessen, An author's work either does or does not improve as the number of his works increases. It is this latter statement that we shall discuss with reference to Shakespeare. Do the characters in that great dramatist's comedies improve with each successive play? Do they move forward to the more natural or is it just the opposite with them? …
