The Outdoor Substation, Israel Herrick Lovett Jan 1924

The Outdoor Substation, Israel Herrick Lovett

Professional Degree Theses

"The Outdoor Substation, as an essential part of a high voltage distribution system, has been largely developed during the past 12 years. The New England Power Company was one of the pioneers in this development, their substation at Millbury, Massachusetts, being one of the first outdoor substations in the northern part of the country. During the five years' experience with this company, the writer of this thesis, in his position of Chief Electrical Designer, was partly responsible for the design of all substations constructed by the company during this period, from 1916 to 1921...This thesis is an account of the …

Engineering Practice In The Tri-State District, Richard John Stroup Jan 1924

Engineering Practice In The Tri-State District, Richard John Stroup

Professional Degree Theses

"Mining operations of the zinc and lead deposits of Southwest Missouri, Southeast Kansas and Northeast Oklahoma forming what is known as the Tri-State District are peculiar in many ways. The 'old country' with its shallow gougings and more or less crude methods has practically passed; methods have been improved with the increased size of operations, and the Engineering Department has grown into an indispensable link in the mining operations of practically all the operating companies. But traditions often die hard. Many phases of mining operations are peculiar to this District alone, and likewise engineering practice has its peculiarities"--page 1.

Economic Geology Of Northern Angola, Artileus Vosteen Eulich Jan 1924

Economic Geology Of Northern Angola, Artileus Vosteen Eulich

Professional Degree Theses

"Most of the mineral deposits have been known to exist for over a generation but efforts to mine them usually met with failure. The most signal discovery, that of diamonds, was made only in recent years. They are the only substance coming under the category of mineral which are being exploited on a large scale. Energetic efforts are being made to find petroleum in commercial quantities. There are still vast areas practically unexplored which if thoroughly prospected might lead to more discoveries. It is difficulty, however, for one who has prospected for two years in Angola without any particular success …

The Economic Basis Of The American Revolution, Eda Kenkel Jan 1924

The Economic Basis Of The American Revolution, Eda Kenkel

Bachelors’ Theses

A searching inquiry into the causes of the American Revolution, a study simply of what led the heretofore passive colonists to open revolt against the mother country, is apt to produce results which in themselves may appear revolutionary. Such a candid examination will make both tyrannical king and parliament and idealistic American patriots disappear, for in no war has either friend or fee been entirely in the right. In the past American historians have devoted page after page to discussing the Revolution, and with few exceptions, these accounts have been greatly to the glory of the brave and high minded …

The Growth Of Wheat Seedlings In Solutions Containing Monopotassium Phosphate, Calcium Nitrate, And Magnesium Sulphate, Singly And In Pairs., Joseph Carmin 1895- Jan 1924

The Growth Of Wheat Seedlings In Solutions Containing Monopotassium Phosphate, Calcium Nitrate, And Magnesium Sulphate, Singly And In Pairs., Joseph Carmin 1895-

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Soon after the atomic theory was established, it was found that the plant uses as sources of food not only the air and water, but also different constituents of the soil, dissolved in the soil moisture—the mineral nutrients. Ashes of different burned plants were analyzed; they were found to vary with the soil in which the plants were grown as well as with the species of the plant and the special organ from which the ashes were obtained. A great number of minerals was found in the ashes. The question arose soon, which of these elements is essential to the …

An Experimental Comparison Of The Feeding Value Of Soy Bean With Alfalfa Hay For Feeding Dairy Cows, Wilard R. Beall Jan 1924

An Experimental Comparison Of The Feeding Value Of Soy Bean With Alfalfa Hay For Feeding Dairy Cows, Wilard R. Beall

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The tendency during the last few years has been to use more and more of the legumes for feeding dairy cows. Just a few years ago (1)”Dairymen near the Yakima Valley, Washington state, fed their cows nothing but alfalfa hay during the winter. The cows received 40 to 50 pounds of alfalfa per cow per day and produced from 6,000 to 7, 000 pounds of milk per year. A Guernsey cow gave 20 pounds of milk per day, four and one-half months after calving and have received no feed but alfalfa hay for two months previous to that time. The …

Diffraction And Interference Applied To The Reproduction Of Sound, Percy Martin Roope Jan 1924

Diffraction And Interference Applied To The Reproduction Of Sound, Percy Martin Roope

Historical Dissertations & Theses

The diffraction and interference problems in sound are to a large extent those in light. However, in regard to a practical solution of problems, the analogy must not be carried too far. In light, in general, we deal with slits or circular openings, the dimensions of which are large in comparison with the wave lengths employed. On the other hand, in sound the openings thru which sound passes are sometimes large and sometimes small compared with the wave lengths. Many of the approximations made in the solution of problems in light cannot be made in sound.

Conductivity And Ionization Of Certain Salts In Absolute Alcohol, Armin Brene Jewell Jan 1924

Conductivity And Ionization Of Certain Salts In Absolute Alcohol, Armin Brene Jewell

Masters Theses

"One of the most striking observations one makes in connection with the study of the conductivities of alcoholic solutions is their great similiarity [sic] to those of aqueous solutions with the exception that the values of the concentrations are very much smaller. The differences are rather of degree than of kind. It will be noted that as the temperature is increased the molecular conductivity increases and the fraction of salt decreases which is what would be expected by analogy"--Discussion, page 43.

The Reduction Of Zinc Oxide By Carbon, George August Zeller Jan 1924

The Reduction Of Zinc Oxide By Carbon, George August Zeller

Masters Theses

"In spite of the fact that the reduction of zinc oxide by carbon is the fundamental reaction upon which the pyrometallurgy of zinc is based, there is a decided lack of accurate knowledge concerning the mechanism of the reaction, the temperature at which it begins, and the effect of various factors upon the rate at which it takes place"--Introduction, page 1.

Pauline Eschatology, Luther A. Schuessler Jan 1924

Pauline Eschatology, Luther A. Schuessler

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The purpose of this inquiry is to present a brief resume of Pauline Eschatology in the narrow sense as it is represented in the thirteen Epistles of Paul and in the discourses attributed to him in the Book of the Acts. Since these Epistles and discourses comprehend the cardinal truths of eschatology, the value of this inquiry is obvious.

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

It is the aim of this study to gather all material in the Apostolic fathers that has any bearing upon Christ, His person and His work; to examine in detail the Christological teachings of .each writer; and finally, in conclusion, to show that there are no stages of development, and that no thought is found in the writings of the Apostolic Fathers that has not been set forth by the New Testament.

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The purpose then, of this treatise regarding the Second Book of Samuel is to examine the discrepancies, expressly alleged by critical scholars.

Are the discrepancies real or merely apparent! These are the questions which come into consideration.

The Christian Religion Vs Philonism And Stoicism, Otto P. Kretzmann Jan 1924

The Christian Religion Vs Philonism And Stoicism, Otto P. Kretzmann

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The study of Comparative Religions and the application of the evolutionistic principle to the field of religion have in the last decades lent tremendous impetus to inquiries into the origin of Christianity and the philosophical background of the New Testament. Every remnant of the ancient philosophic literature has been carefully examined by writers with a naturalistic tendency in order to discover some natural explanation for the thought and phraseology of the New Testament. An examination of these alleged points of contact, which are supposed to have exerted such a tremendous influence on nascent Christianity, together with a critical estimate of …

An Account Of Experiments In Teaching Reading Devised And Directed, Harry B. Wilson Jan 1924

An Account Of Experiments In Teaching Reading Devised And Directed, Harry B. Wilson

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of the experiments was threefold; first, that teachers might have an opportunity to discover the actual conditions in their own class rooms in comparison with statements of writers on education; second, that, in trying out recommended procedures, they might acquire a desire to investigate and develop a scientific attitude toward their work; third, that a more wholesome respect for the opinions of scientific investigators might obtain. The subject of reading is of such fundamental importance and has occupied so prominent a place in the field of investigation that it seemed reasonable to treat it in discussions in teachers' …

Significance Of Labor Turnover, Albert L. Pfund Jan 1924

Significance Of Labor Turnover, Albert L. Pfund

Bachelors’ Theses

The instability of labor has always been a source of annoyance to commerce and industry. But, strange to say, in earlier days it was not thought of as anything more serious. As a general rule, there seemed to be an adequate supply of labor; and if one man quit, the solution was simply - get another. The question of labor turnover as thought of today, however, is one of comparatively recent origin. One of the first references to it was made only a few years ago by Professor John R. Commons, in an article on the "age Earners of Pittsburg", …

The Human Will Is Free, Richard V. Carpenter Jan 1924

The Human Will Is Free, Richard V. Carpenter

Bachelors’ Theses

The freedom of the will is one of the most important questions in philosophy. So much has been written on the subject that it hardly seems worth while to treat it in a thesis in which nothing can be said which has not already been said a number of times. The two opposing parties in the controversy have completed their respective cases; they have fully entrenched themselves behind volumes and volumes of weighty libraries and are now but waiting new recruits. As a matter of fact, though both sides of the debate seem to have exhausted their arguments, though they …

The English Inn In English Literature, Eugene E. Ball Jan 1924

The English Inn In English Literature, Eugene E. Ball

Bachelors’ Theses

Perhaps no institution holds higher rank in, or has had more influence on English literature than the English Inn. Famed alike in song and story, it has come down to us through the centuries as a sacred sanctuary of thought and culture, where the creators of the sagas of our native tongue sought congenial companionship, where the sharp flash of wit, and the quick thrust of repartee kindled inspiration into flame.

The Necessary Relation Of Morality To Literature And Its Apparent Neglect In Our Modern Works, Muriel Bruett Jan 1924

The Necessary Relation Of Morality To Literature And Its Apparent Neglect In Our Modern Works, Muriel Bruett

Bachelors’ Theses

Literature has a purpose beyond itself, the expression of truth, the transmission of knowledge from generat1on to generation, and the elevation and strengthening of the man. It is clear that the purpose of reading is to put ourselves into communication with the best minds of the race. Unless we read a man for all there is in him, we gain little but a disorganized group of pages. Books should be real things. For if we admit that there is an intrinsic value in anything, we must admit the objective value of literature, that there is something which stamps a book …

The Source And Development Of Labor Supply, Russell J. Broderick Jan 1924

The Source And Development Of Labor Supply, Russell J. Broderick

Bachelors’ Theses

The general trend of human nature has changed very little since the beginnings of society. Society is used here in a limited sense. It is used to denote the association of peoples and leads to the time when people became interdependent. In the same way it is possible to simmer down the first part of the above statement. When the time was reached when one man was more or less dependent on his brother, we find a conflict. In that we are dealing with a phase of labor known as personnel we call it a conflict of capital and labor.

The Trust Company In Modern Banking, Frank W. Carr Jan 1924

The Trust Company In Modern Banking, Frank W. Carr

Bachelors’ Theses

The trust company is a financial institution that has quite recently been developed to great importance here in the United States. It is essentially an American institution, there being practically no companies of this type in Europe, or the Orient. In the Latin-American Countries the same condition exists. With the possible exception of the Mexican Trust Company which is purely American in Foundation. While the history of trust companies in this country date back one hundred years, it is significant that they did not begin to acquire the national importance and volume of business they now command until twenty-five or …

The Federal Rural Credit Bank System And Its Operation, Raoul Lafrance

Bachelors’ Theses

Agriculture, the production of food is perhaps the greatest and most universal pursuit of mankind. It is found and pursued in some form or other in almost every clime and by every civilized nation. In very few parts of the globe is mans food supply furnished gratuitously by nature. He is compelled to till the soil, domesticate certain beasts, to secure those necessaries of sustainance (sic). Because of the industries dependence on the conditions of nature, its attachment to the elements, the agriculturist can exercise little control over the production of the products of his industry. The throttle of his …

Accounts For The Handling Of Subdivisions, Raymond D. Illig Jan 1924

Accounts For The Handling Of Subdivisions, Raymond D. Illig

Bachelors’ Theses

The subject of, "Accounts for the handling of subdivisions" is still in its infancy,and in the writer's knowledge has never before been treated as a separate subject. Real Estate accounting of which subdivision accounting is a branch, has itself never been developed to any extent, either in this country or abroad, consequently there is very little literature on either subject.
