These experiences should be in agreement with the modern philosophy of music education. An attempt was made to present these experiences in such a manner that they can be readily utilized by any teacher in the primary grades.

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Henry James. and William Dean Howells. De Forest, however, has been forgotten by both the reading public and the literary historians since that time, while the literary reputations of the other men have increased; yet it is to this obscure writer that modern critics such as Carl Van Doren, Alexander Cowie, Arthur Quinn. and Van …

A History Of The Indiana State School For The Deaf, Windell W. Fewell

Graduate Thesis Collection

This study has been motivated by an intimate contact with the Indiana State School for the Deaf as a teacher and by a growing interest in its development. This interest was further stimulated by coming into contact with the large volume of school records which, in some cases, date back to the beginning of the school in 1843. In spite of the fact that these original source materials have been fairly well preserved, no history of the school, other than comparatively brief sketches, has been written.

The History Of The Viola And An Analysis Of Its Literature, Clifford A. Brau

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The origin of the viola, like the violin, is still a puzzle to our musical historians and archaeologists. True, they realize that the first real viola and violin made its appearance on the musical horizon about the middle of the 16th century in Italy. And they know also that they did not spring into existence - to use a familiar phrase, like rabbits out of a magician’s hat. Their gradual development from inferior forms of bow instruments is proved beyond doubt, and has been traced, more or less clearly, for centuries back, with the help of such instruments of monuments, …

The Function Of Imagery In Antony And Cleopatra, James Sebree Loveall

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The modern scholar attempting any detailed analysis of imagery in the poetry of Shakespeare may well proceed with caution. The lack of a clear and definite statement of terms, the unwillingness to come first to grips with the problem of definition before proceeding with that of analysis may produce pitfalls for the unwary; and although modern studies - especially those of Miss Caroline Spurgeon and her followers - have cast much light upon Shakespeare’s use of imagery, they do not altogether escape the charge of carelessness.

Much work remains to be donel and the need for a reconsideration of the …

A Study Of Nutrition As A Mass Educational Movement During World War Ii : With Particular Reference To The Work Done In San Joaquin County, Maxine V. Garrigan

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

During the decade, 1930-1940, most of the government efforts were directed to the task of seeing that no one should starve. Through welfare programs it was possible to insure low income groups against starvation; "but through the depression years and the poet-depression months, it was recognized that just the guarantee against starvation was not enough. Our nutritional goal should be commensurate with natural resources of our country and with our ability to produce, have the land, the equipment and the man power necessary to furnish good food for our whole nation. Knowing this and recognizing from surveys that a large …

Analysis Of Stresses In A Three Span Continuous Concrete Beam Bridge, G K. Leptien

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

While still attempting to decide on a topic for a thesis study, the author was asked, "How far from the up- ports of a continuous-bean reinforced-concrete bridge should the reinforcing for negative moment extend into the spany." It was a simple question, and the reason for it being asked was that a particular structure, the one shown in the frontispiece, had developed transverse cracks in the surface of the deck structure a distance of three and a half feet from the center of both interior supports. (See the plan view in figure 6, Appendix.) The cracks were by no means …

Comparative Study Of Judaism And Shinto, Alice Elsa Smith

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The forces that have arisen within and without mankind have been responsible for all that has occurred upon the earth in the name of religion, and the greatest force without is God. In the words of James Martineau, "This world is part of the great cosmos, all of whose forces . . . find their unity in God, and whose laws are but the modes and order of His thoughts. In this field, his is not simple First Cause, but Sole Cause; all forces being one, and no force other than his."¹ The greatest force within is man's rationalization …

The Relation Between The Poetic Concept And Autobiographical Memory In The Works Of Thomas Wolfe, Douglas Carell Taylor

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Thomas Wolfe's literary output includes four long novels and a vast number of short stories and poems. In addition to this he left a great deal of manuscript which is still in the process of being examined and assorted. His four long novels have drawn the greatest attention, for it is in these that he has done his finest and most provocative work. In each one Wolfe is the central figure, and through his eyes we are allowed to see the world as he saw it. It is because of this that the charges of egotism, paranoia tendencies, genius, immaturity, …
