The Effect Of Ultra-Violet Light Upon The Growth Of Zea Maize., W. H. Clashman Jan 1930

The Effect Of Ultra-Violet Light Upon The Growth Of Zea Maize., W. H. Clashman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Many experiments have been performed to determine the effect of ultra-violet light upon the growth of plants and animals. The conclusions reached by the experiments concerned are not constant in all cases. The more significant of these studies are here reviewed. Sheard and Johnson (17) state that the skin is the medium which separates the organism, whether it be plant or animal, from its environment. The skin is, therefore, the medium of reception of radiant energy and the seat of transformation or utilization of the incident energy. No changes of a physical or chemical character are produced in the cells, …


Cuentos Populares Españoles De Nuevo México, Lolita H. Pooler Jan 1930

Cuentos Populares Españoles De Nuevo México, Lolita H. Pooler

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

El estudio del Folklore español in Nuevo México es, no solo interesante, sino muy importante. El eminente folklorista, el Doctor Aurelio Espinosa ha hecho unas investigaciones científicas acerca de este asunto en Nuevo México y también en España. Se hallan muchos cuentos parecidos en los dos países. Estos cuentos que he recogido ya son recogidos de la tradicion oral. La lástima es que los jóvenes anglo-mexicanos de hoy día no se han fijado en esta tradicion y por consecuencia está perdiéndose este tesoro de la literatura. Solamente pudiendo hablar español se pueden recoger estos cuentos.

A Study Of The Farm Shop Curriculum, Robert B. Fall

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The building of a course to teach the principles underlying mechanical operations on farms has been and still is under criticism, and probably will continue to be for some time to come; but it is such an important brench, or part, of farming that was thought that any contribution which could be made to assist in a better understanding of the problem would be worth while, hence this study.


The Anatomy Of The Germinating Bulbil Of Lilium Tigrinum, Katherine Harris Tripp Jan 1930

The Anatomy Of The Germinating Bulbil Of Lilium Tigrinum, Katherine Harris Tripp

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Apparently very little, if any, anatomical investigation has been made of the bulbil of Lilium tigrinum, though it has often been used as a propagating organ and consequently, the problem suggested attractive possibilities in an almost virgin field of investigation. Collections were made from five different plants beginning Sept. 27, 1928 until July 22, 1929. The older bulbils were removed from the axils of the foliage leaves and fixed in formalin acetic alcohol. They were gradually dehydrated by treatment with alcohol increasing the percentage 10% from 50 up to 100%. Xylol treatment in increasing percentages was then resorted to, until …

The Ethnobotany Of Jemez Indians, Sarah Louise Cook Jan 1930

The Ethnobotany Of Jemez Indians, Sarah Louise Cook

Anthropology ETDs

The Indians in New Mexico may be divided into two general types — wandering and pueblo. The Athapascan, or wandering Indians, constitute a group which has drifted from the far north into New Mexico, They are more or less nomadic and war-like, and not agriculturally inclined, therefore to a large extent dependent upon their neighbors. The remaining Indians in New Mexico are the pueblos. These groups are independent, peaceful, and industrious, particularly along their respective lines of weaving, basketry, pottery, and agriculture.

Abortive Stamens And Carpels In Lychnis Alba, Gus B. Ulvin

Botanists have long been interested in the manner of "sex expression" in plants. Some plant shave perfect flowers, that is, both sexes are expressed in a single flower, with no variation from this condition within the species. Other plants have flowers in which only one or the other sex is expressed, while still other plants occur in which "pure staminate or pure carpellate and all intermediate degrees" occur.

The Monroe Doctrine And The Empire Of Maximilian, 1861-67, David Lopez Campa Jan 1930

The Monroe Doctrine And The Empire Of Maximilian, 1861-67, David Lopez Campa

History ETDs

In this short discussion of an instance often referred to as a "splendid vindication" of the Monroe Doctrine, the author intends to give as impartial a treatment of the problem chosen as human limitations permit. The Monroe Doctrine during the French Intervention in Mexico and during the Civil War was, contrary to the assertions of some American historians, a dead letter.

Diagnostic And Remedial Reading In The Intermediate Grades, Alice Margaret Torphy Jan 1930

Diagnostic And Remedial Reading In The Intermediate Grades, Alice Margaret Torphy

Bachelors’ Theses

The scientific study of reading problems began in the laboratories of Europe about the middle of the nineteenth century. The motive for these studies was the interest in the psychological processes involved in reading. Prior to 1900 most of the investigations were made in Germany and France. Since that date scientific interest in reading has increased so rapidly in this country that the United States now surpasses all other countries in productive work in this field.


Meredith And Galsworthy: A Comparison Of Their Arts, Paula Joan Peckarsky Jan 1930

Meredith And Galsworthy: A Comparison Of Their Arts, Paula Joan Peckarsky

Bachelors’ Theses

the purpose of this thesis is to institute a comparison between George Meredith and John Galsworthy. The points of comparison will be based on the differences or similarities in the style, philosophy, and general characteristics of each man as found through a careful study of the novels written by each. The novels compared were chosen by their importance in the literary periods of each man and not by any outstanding similarities between some novel of Galsworthy's and another of Meredith's. The following books have aided me very much: "George Meredith," by J.B. Priestley, "George Meredith, A Study and An Appraisal," …


Newspaper Feature Syndicates, Evelyn M. Exceen Jan 1930

Newspaper Feature Syndicates, Evelyn M. Exceen

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to give as completely as possible a survey of the Feature Syndicate Field in the United States, the events which led in the establishment of this branch of service for newspapers, and the results which such establishment have produced in the newspaper world. The modern Newspaper is not complete without a feature service. Spot news is of prime importance, necessarily, but there are a thousand and one stories in the day's events that are not always of prime importance, but nevertheless worthwhile and interesting. Feature Syndicates present these stories daily.
