A Study Of The Interrelations Between Dos Passos' Personal Philosophy, Objectives, And Techniques And The Influence Of The Zeitgeist On Them, James R. Wilson

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

For several reasons Dos Passos is important to the development of American literature. His novels, with their integrity, breadth, and architectonic form, are painted on a larger canvas than any other American writers. In Manhattan Transfer, his fourth novel, he attempted to portray the greatest metropolis in the world, New York City. He succeeded as well as anyone ever has. Then, refusing to rest on his cars, he went on to the trilogy U. S. A., which takes all of twentieth century American life as its subject. This is Dos Passos' epic of modern Americanlife, the most successful of the …

A Follow-Up Study Of One Hundred And Nine Delinquent Children In The San Joaquin County Junvenile Court, 1932-1933, Jack Ramsey Parsons

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The problem of juvenile delinquency is one that has received increasing emphasis during the past ten years. The rise and spread of the Coordinating Council Movement, the number of surveys made by public and private agencies on the subject, the increasing number of books published that deal with the problem and the new knowledge that has come from the Child Welfare Centers, the psychiatrists, and the psychologiste have all been noted and used by the various groups of interested citizens. Not only have we seen the rise of leisure time activities that are designed to meet the needs of the …

Firing Behavior Tests And Other Tests On A Missouri Stoneware Clay To Determine Its Commercial Possibilities, Ivan Martin Niedling

Bachelors Theses

"A clay's essential character is its plasticity, whether it is to be used for common brick purposes, the manufacture of refractory articles, or merely as a bonding agent for nonplastic materials. Plasticity is a very large subject; there are many theories as to its cause and many methods have been developed to record it, but so far no satisfactory quantitative measure of plasticity has been found. Perhaps the most satisfactory method is to judge by handling the clay, and with constant practice one can become expert in judging the plasticity of a clay by its feel. Such a method is, …

The Bloating Of Clays, Everett Walter Sharp

Bachelors Theses

"The effect of firing on clays in relation to volume is either a shrinkage, bloating, or no change whatso-ever. The reason for the shrinkage and the constant volume is well known, but the cause of the bloating has not as yet been determined. In some instances, as the use of fire clay brick in steel ladles, this property of bloating is desirable to a certain extent because this packs the brick lining in the ladle tightly after the first heat is poured in, and prevents the brick lining from floating out when the metal is poured. There is little or …

The Production Of High Alumina Refractories Bonded With Lumnite Refractory Cement, Joseph Lewis Hoffman

Bachelors Theses

"Users of refractories are constantly demanding a better product. There is a demand for a satisfactory neutral or basic refractory with a P.C.E. equivalent of cone 35 or better. A refractory with a very high alumina content would seem to solve this problem, however, the main difficulty has been to bond the unplastic alumina. From the literature it was learned that Lumnite cement has been satisfactory in the manufacture of a refractory concrete. Therefore this investigation was carried out to determine the adaptability of bonding corundum with Lumnite"--Introduction, page 1.

X-Ray Data Concerning Some Manganese-Copper Alloys, George Lester Mitsch

Bachelors Theses

"Until recently the only commercial method of producing metallic manganese in large ammounts sic was a pyrometallurgical process. Producing a metal of about 97% purity, it was not very satisfactory. With the advent of a process for producing a metal of 99.9 plus % purity electrolytically, introduced by the United States Bureau of Mines, for the first time was there a sufficient quantity of pure manganese available for alloy use. The manganese-copper system was chosen for study because of the inconsistencies in the reports of previous investigators, and because of the properties alloys of these components possess, such as magnetism, …

Red Glazes, Sidney Austin Peer

Bachelors Theses

"Red glazes are extremely difficult to produce on pottery except at relatively low temperatures, or under conditions which can only be regarded as largely accidental. For many years ceramists have demanded a red glaze maturing at cone 4. To produce this glaze, much time and research is required...The object of this study was to produce a commercial red glaze at cone 4 from different oxides in a base glaze of white lead and silica"--Scope of Investigation, pages 1, 7.

The Effect Of Addition Agents In Grinding Portland Cement Clinker, Eugene Farrell Hill

Masters Theses

"In the dry grinding of most materials in a ball mill or similar apparatus, a degree of fineness is eventually reached when a noticeable decrease in the efficiency of grinding occurs. The degree of fineness where this phenomenon occurs, as measured by the specific surface of the material being ground, varies greatly with different materials. The accompanying effect in all cases, however, is the formation of a coating upon the balls; this coating in the case of cement adheres tightly to the balls and increases in thickness as grinding progresses after the initial "coating' fineness has been reached. Usually an …

Factors Influencing The Enrollment Of Negro Girls In Homemaking Courses In A Selected Group Of High Schools, Dimple Kathryn Mckee

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to learn what factors bring junior and senior high school girls into homemaking courses and what factors keep them out.

Questionnaires, containing choice of subjects, reasons for electing homemaking subjects, reasons for not electing homemaking subjects and homemaking subjects I would like to know something about other than clothing selection and food preparation, were given to twenty-five girls selected at random in each of two junior high schools and three senior high schools. In order to validate the responses of one group of senior high school students the same questionnaire was given at two …

A History Of The Third Term Tradition, 1789-1928, Elmer Ellsworth Stevens

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In discussing the Third Term Tradition, I have tried to compile a. history of the precedent rather than an argument for or against it. From Washington to Franklin Roosevelt many different viewoints and arguments have been advanced. Out of the wealth of material which is available I have attempted so far as possible to select impartially representative utterances on both sides of the question.

In our national history there have been several presidential elections in which the third term question was a major issue. That is especially true of the campaign (1940) which is now being fought. However, this paper …

A Study Of Non-Attendance In Miguel Hidalgo School Of Brawley, California, W. G. La Berge

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The majority of studies of non-attendance heve dealt with the entire student body of a school system where the pupils come from many racial or national groups with different economic, social, and cultural backgrounds. In studies where the same racial group was selected the physical environment or the social or economic status of the students differed widely. A wide field of study leaves many questions unanswered or problematical. It is the purpose of the author to confine this study to one racial group.

This is a study of non-attendance in Miguel Hidalgo elementary school where 95 per cent of the …
