A Study Of Light Metals And Alloys At Low Temperatures, Donald E. Higgins Jun 1924

A Study Of Light Metals And Alloys At Low Temperatures, Donald E. Higgins

Historical Dissertations & Theses

Although the determination of the strength of metals and alloys at ordinary temperatures is an everyday matter, very little work has been done to determine their strength and elasticity at very low temperatures. Mallock and Schaefer have investigated certain metals at the temperature of liquid air, and have deduced formulae to express the relation between elasticity and temperature, while Andrade has given an expression for the flow of metals under large constant stress. This work was intended in part to find out if their formulae would apply to the very light alloys used here. Another object was to find, if …

A Study In The Absorption Of Radiant Energy, Nils A. Riffolt Jun 1924

A Study In The Absorption Of Radiant Energy, Nils A. Riffolt

Historical Dissertations & Theses

Ordinarily, when radiant energy is absorbed for utilization, the absorber is in the shape of a cylindrical tube where either the whole surface of the tube is utilized as an absorber and the energy is reflected by a circular parabolic mirror; or half of the cross-section is used and the other half is protected by various kinds of insulators, this latter being in most general use. The present experiments were carried out to investigate what possible increase in efficiency could be obtained by departing from this practice in using another shape of absorber. It consisted in determining the absorption of …

The Relations Of The English Periodical Essay To The Development Of The English Novel In The Eighteenth Century, Madeline Jane O'Brien Jun 1924

The Relations Of The English Periodical Essay To The Development Of The English Novel In The Eighteenth Century, Madeline Jane O'Brien

Bachelors’ Theses

The literature of the eighteenth century was outward and finite-outward in the absence of a deep penetration into the heart and mind of man; and finite in the subjects and the arbitrary laws of style and verse to which it was confined. A philosophy of sensualism, a morality of expediency and a poetry of fancy-"Creamy Smoothness"- were the main characteristics of the age.

The Influence Of Virgil's "Aeneid" On Subsequent Literature, Mary Gertrude Quirk Jun 1924

The Influence Of Virgil's "Aeneid" On Subsequent Literature, Mary Gertrude Quirk

Bachelors’ Theses

In a study of the lives of great men it is interesting to trace the circumstances that have affected them most deeply. And we generally find that the most powerful influences in moulding their characters were the friends that they had made. This flows from the very nature of friendship, which entails a mutual sharing of another's thoughts and feelings, interests and aspirations. Moreover, when men are united in any undertaking, howsoever insignificant, a bond of sympathy is established among them. Common ends and common purposes create a feeling of comradeship, an esprit de corps that lends grace to the …

A History Of The Origin And The Development Of Blank Verse, Margaret E. Willaert Jun 1924

A History Of The Origin And The Development Of Blank Verse, Margaret E. Willaert

Bachelors’ Theses

The range of human thoughts and emotions greatly transcends the range of such symbols as man has invented to express them; and it becomes, therefore, the place of art to use these symbols in a double way. They must be used for the direct representation of thought and feeling; but they must also be combined by so subtle an imagination as to suggest much which there is no means of directly expressing. And this can be done: for experience shows that it is possible so to arrange forms, colours, and sounds as to stimulate the Imagination in a new and …

The Process Of Employment Management, Raymond A. Miller Jun 1924

The Process Of Employment Management, Raymond A. Miller

Bachelors’ Theses

The relationships which exist between manager and worker have been the subject for discussions and dissertations ever since man has worked for man, whether compelled to do so or whether voluntarily offering his services for some remuneration. The fricton existing between these two parties, which has long been looked upon as a social evil, emphasizes the great necessity for a remedy. Industry has awakened to the fact that the broad gap between employer and employee must be filled up to insure a closer relation and a harmonious co-operation that would be beneficial to both parties.

The Theory Of Spontaneous Generation, Arthur Thomas Kuesel Jun 1924

The Theory Of Spontaneous Generation, Arthur Thomas Kuesel

Bachelors’ Theses

The theories concerning the origin of life on this planet have been many and varied all down the ages. In the prescientific ages, if we may be allowed to designate those years as such, before science was as exacting and searching sit is now, practically all the theories advanced by the philosophers at the time have since been proven to be fallacies and all of them save one, the Theory of Spontaneous Generation have been discarded into the limbo of mistaken notions.

The Development Of The Seedling And The Tissues Of Pinus Monophylla, Irene Mary Keeley Jun 1924

The Development Of The Seedling And The Tissues Of Pinus Monophylla, Irene Mary Keeley

Bachelors’ Theses

Considering plants as a whole, there are four principal divisions, the Tallophytes, the Bryophytes, the Pteridophytes and the Spermatophytes. The latter, or highest division of the plant kingdom, comprises two classes; the Angiosperms and the Cymnosperms, or seed-bearing plants. The Gymnosperms, of which there are four hundred living species, are the most widely distributed of any plants throughout the United States and tropical countries. We need not limit our knowledge to recent years for, Geologists tell us of their early discoveries of fossil representatives. This class is subdivided into different groups, the Coniferales being the most important and abundant. The …

The Social And Historical Background Of Eighteenth Century English Neo-Classicism, Thomas A. Byrne Jun 1924

The Social And Historical Background Of Eighteenth Century English Neo-Classicism, Thomas A. Byrne

Bachelors’ Theses

It is almost a platitude to say that literature is a reflection of life and that authors are the spoksemen of the age in which they live. Literature is the mouthpiece of a nation, a mouthpiece which speaks the commonest reflections and the highest meditations of a people. Else if this were not true why should scholars regard as valuable historical evidence the comments of contemporary writers? To the literature of the Greeks and Romans we owe what knowledge we have of the life and thought of those ancient races. This is not the less true of our modern nations. …

The Compatibility Of Church And Science, John H. Casey Jun 1924

The Compatibility Of Church And Science, John H. Casey

Bachelors’ Theses

The intellectual fashion, if such there be, obtained quite a few years ago to maintain that there was no such a thing as compatibility between religion and science. Like all fashions, it has passed out of vogue and the inherent and foolish fallacy behind it has been repeatedly an effectively exposed. However, it has exhibited another characteristic of all fashions by returning and finding favor in some quarters. Fortunately, its second inaugural is not so auspicious or general since the original style, while it caught the popular fancy, was too unmercifully denounced and derided to allow for a second successful …

The Relation Of The Mind To The Voice And Body In Expression, Helen Brockman Jun 1924

The Relation Of The Mind To The Voice And Body In Expression, Helen Brockman

Bachelors’ Theses

Expression is the manifestation of mental activity; the outward sign of inward life. Every action of the face or hand, every modulation of the voice is simply an outward effect of an inward condition. We get the thoughts, feelings, and character of our fellow-being from the action of his body or from what we hear from his voice. Hence, we see that expression is not of the body, but through the body; it is manifested by motions and actions of the body, by tones and modulations of the voice. But "it is the soul that speaks."

St. Peter, The First Bishop Of Rome, Roberta Helz Jun 1924

St. Peter, The First Bishop Of Rome, Roberta Helz

Bachelors’ Theses

From the beginning of Christendom, when Christ Himself designated Peter as the rock of invincible strength, and the chief foundation atone of the Apostolic Church, Matthew 16: 18, 19, up to the Reformation, the Primacy of St. Peter had met with no opposition. After the Reformation a partisans spirit in the interest of orthodox Protestantism against the Roman Church called into question this fact so universally admitted. The leading opponents were U. Valerius (1520), K. Flaccus (1564), Blondel (1641), and later Baur (1831), all champions of the Reformation. They further contended that Peter never resided in Rome, nor could that …

Borrowing Vs. Cash Payments As A Means Of Financing New School Buildings In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Francis J. Hart

Bachelors’ Theses

In ancient times it appears to have been the practice, during times of peace, to make provision for the necessities of war--hoarding up treasures before hand to be used in conquest or defense a the occasion demanded. It was not then the custom to trust to extraordinary impositions of taxes to meet extraordinary demands, much less to borrowing the necessary funds.

The Measurement Of The Specific Inductive Capacities Of Various Liquid Dielectrics., Obe Bromfield Ellis Jun 1924

The Measurement Of The Specific Inductive Capacities Of Various Liquid Dielectrics., Obe Bromfield Ellis

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The name inductivity, or dielectric capacity, or specific inductive capacity is given to the ratio between the capacities of two condensers of the same size and shape, one of them filled with the specified dielectric, and the other an air condenser. The inductive capacity of dry air at standard conditions is usually taken as the standard. Therefore, the measurement of the specific inductive capacity of any given dielectric resolves itself into the measurement of the capacity of a condenser with the given material as dielectric.

The Offerings Of The Old Testament, Otto P. Schmidt May 1924

The Offerings Of The Old Testament, Otto P. Schmidt

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The idea or offering is a universal one. It is embodied in every religion under the sun. Almost every religion is built up around the idea or offering. But as the religions vary. so also the nature and purpose or the offering. And as men were led farther and farther away from the truth, they were also led farther and farther away from the true idea and purpose or offering.

Colonel Fielding Lewis, Emeline Lee Stearns May 1924

Colonel Fielding Lewis, Emeline Lee Stearns

Honors Theses

There is a two-fold reason for the assertion that to the student of American History, and especially of those chapters dealing with the Old Dominion, a study of the life of Fielding Lewis should prove one of value and intense interest. First, there is the contribution which this colonial patriot made to the Revolutionary cause. To too great an extent we associate heroism in a time of strife with courage on the battlefield. The life of Fielding Lewis is a story of courage on the side lines, a courage none the less true because it lacks military glory as a …

The Christology Of Acts, George F. Horn May 1924

The Christology Of Acts, George F. Horn

Bachelor of Divinity

The book of Acts was written mainly for history so we would not expect to find much doctrine in it. And yet it is full of doctrine. For this we must thank the Holy Spirit who has preserved it to us by inspiration. St. Luke was inspired with the information necessary to the recording of the speeches we find in the book. These speeches are the chief sources of doctrine in this book though not the only ones. A study of the book for any one doctrine reveals incidentally many other doctrines. This is brought out especially clearly when we …

A Study Of The Effect Of The Age Of Parents On The Ability Of Dairy Cows To Produce Milk And Butterfat, J. Howard Maughan

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The question of the possible effect of the age of parents on the quality of the offspring which they produce has long been a disputed one. It is held by some that the ages of both parents act together in determining the quality of offspring. There are others who maintain that the age of the dam only is a factor and still others who believe that only the age of the sire need be considered in this connection.

Loss Of Minerals In Cooking Vegetables, Sadie O. Morris

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

It has long been recognized that vegetables contain certain necessary substances which are essential to the human diet. Considerable attention has been given the different foods as to their economic value to human nutrition, however the information concerning the preparation of foods as to their nutritive losses is as yet inadequate. Considerable research work has been done in certain directions and some valuable data accumulated as to the economic losses contained in the waste or discarded portions of the food material. Several investigators have rather accurately determined not only the economic, but also the nutritive losses, especially those which occur …

A Study Of The Flow Of Water Over Triangular Weirs And The Determination Of Coefficients Of Discharge For Small Heads, J. Milton Barrett May 1924

A Study Of The Flow Of Water Over Triangular Weirs And The Determination Of Coefficients Of Discharge For Small Heads, J. Milton Barrett

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The development of artesian and pumped wells as a source of irrigation water has created the need for a measuring device which will be accurate for small discharges. The thin edged weir has been accepted as one of the most accurate and desirable measuring devices for this work. Three types of weirs are now commonly used: the Rectangular, the Cipolleti, and the Triangular Notch weir. Of these types the triangular notch is probably best suited for small discharges (under 3 second feet). The various formulae for discharge over 90% Triangular weirs have been accurately determined for heads over two tenths …
