The work was begun in September of 1951, and was completed in April of 1962. It is cast in three movements: fust, fugal style; slow, a variation-rondo; fast, sonatu form. A closely knit structure is achieved through melodie and rhythmic relationships throughout. Thus, the second theme of the last movement is derived from the opening theme of the first movement; subsidiary material from movement one appears again as developmental material in movement two; the first phrase of the opening these in movement one is em, loyed developmentally in the third movement.

The Taiwanese legend of Wu Feng who supposedly died in the mid-18th century has passed down since the late Qing dynasty. Wu Feng was considered a righteous martyr-like figure who ultimately sacrificed himself in order to dissuade the Ali Mountain aborigines from their tradition of headhunting. This tale has evolved through different periods in Taiwanese history. The legend starting in the late Qing dynasty through Japanese Colonization, the early R.O.C. in Taiwan, and modern day Taiwan has been manipulated in a number of different ways and has been included as an example for moral education in Taiwan school textbooks until 1987. It seems that these changes or manipulations of the legend are indicative of broader changes occurring in Taiwanese society with a major transformation in race relations manifested in 1988. I will attempt to gain insight into the evolving school textbook version of the Wu Feng myth by studying its representation from the early 1950’s until the final version in 1987.

Although the frontiers of knowledge in most fields have been pushed to the point where many people feel that the genius of mankind had solved all, an enigma still con- fronts the contemporary anthropologist and philologist: the riddle of the origin of the Basques and their language.

The literature on rigidity reveals a concentration in two fairly distinct areas: that of problem solving for cognitive rigidity) and motor rigidity. The early investigators felt that assessing these peripheral response mechanism would give a measure of the deeper, central personality mechanism that affects all of behavior. However, such an assumption was highly questionable and based more on analogical reasoning than on empirical evidence. It was Cattel who first pointed out that assuming motor rigidity "extends also through all dissappontement to feel or think perseveratively is a speculation undertaken at one's own risk" (1946, p. 233). Luchins (1951), concerned with problem solving rigidity, has also expressed doubt that cognitive measures of rigidity tap central personality rigidity.

This thesis describes the significant events of the Civil Rights Movement from 1960 to 1965, examining the campaigns of Albany, Georgia in 1962, Birmingham, Alabama in 1963, and Selma, Alabama in 1965. In the wake of the freedom rides of 1960-61, Martin Luther King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference was looking for a way to dramatically reveal the racial injustice of the South. Stumbling into a campaign in Albany, SCLC found thr right method in the use of nonviolent direct action. While Albany was a failure, it was this campaign that led to the campaigns of Birmingham and Selma which led in passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Through confrontation with law enforcement, SCLC was able to effect meaningful social change.The research for this thesis included both primary and secondary sources. Newspaper accounts, especially from the New York Times, were used as well as magazine articles. All three main chapters contain accounts by the participants, activists and politicians. The conclusion from the research would indicate that it was through the use of confrontation with Southern law enforcement that the Civil Rights Movement was able to force the federal government act on civil rights legislation.

This paper explores the development of the concept of the mitzvot of love within Pharisaic Judaism. Emphasis is placed on adherence to the Covenant through the conscious act of love, stemming from the Levitical law “to love your neighbor as yourself.” Examination begins with the Babylonian Exile, and concludes with the First Jewish War with Rome. Attention is placed on the Pharisaic sect. The Pharisees ability to synchronize Greek philosophy and Jewish covenant theology, created a new identity for the Jewish people, emphasizing the mitzvot of love. The Pharisaic academy most revered for placing value on the mitzvot of love, was the School of Hillel the Elder. For Hillel the Elder, the only true way to fulfill the Covenant was through active participation in the mitzvot to love. His youngest disciple, Yohannan ben Zakkai, followed in his master’s teachings, rebuilding Judaism through love following the First Jewish War with Rome.

This thesis is an acoustic analysis, grammatical description, and typological comparison of morphological reduplication in Hiligaynon, an Austronesian language spoken in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines. This work has two main goals: first, to redescribe the formal and functional properties of full reduplication in Hiligaynon; and second, to offer a typological analysis as to how the system of reduplication in Hiligaynon compares to the known typological universals of human language, and within the genetically related languages of the Philippines. While reduplication in Hiligaynon has previously been described (Wolfenden 1971; Cameron 1985; Zack 1994; Spitz 2001; Santos 2012), the existing descriptions are contradictory regarding which features, if any, are used to formally distinguish the various functions of full reduplication. Specifically, the different sources vary in their descriptions of the prosodic patterns of full reduplication and in their analyses of whether prosody is a significant formal feature in distinguishing the various semantic functions of otherwise homophonous full reduplication morphemes. This work claims that there are three full reduplication morphemes in Hiligaynon--the augmentative degree, diminutive degree, and repetitive degree--that are formally distinguished by distinct morphemic patterns of prosody. After introducing Hiligaynon and its system of reduplication based on the current descriptions, I redescribe the formal and functional properties of full reduplication in Hiligaynon using original acoustic data collected through native speaker field recordings. Following the acoustic analysis and description, I use the novel Hiligaynon data combined with data from current descriptions to perform three typological comparisons based on the World Atlas of Language Structures Feature 27A, the Universals Archive, and an original survey of reduplication in 34 genetically related languages of the Philippines. These comparisons show the system of reduplication in Hiligaynon to be highly productive as well as typologically normal save for these unique morphemic patterns of prosody which are typologically unexpected. These forms suggest the need to revisit the putative language universal first observed by Moravcsik (1978: 315) which claims that "there is no reduplication pattern that would involve reference to phonological properties other than syllable number, consonantality-vowelhood, and absolute linear position".

One defining root of the essay is its goal to articulate thoughts, simple and complex, into a piece that readers might deliberate and rest and even rely on. On this or that or the other-- "on" being a word suggesting sturdiness and foundation. On and On and On is a collection of personal essays which intends to examine the theories of "truth" (another word associated with sturdiness,) within personal experiences, as they are delivered through creative means. When truths in life are examined and explored in essayistic ways, we discover more profound axioms of the soul that would otherwise remain hidden. This collection first establishes the essay's motivation and pursuit for truth, and then elaborates on the means by which an essay may most effectively achieve truth while navigating "creativity." Following this analysis, the personal essays implement those theoretical strategies, encouraging an emphasis on truth throughout explorations of human experience and thought. The essays vary in subject and style, but are largely tied together through the theme of desire for control over what feels chaotic, or understanding of what feels unknown"¦ that is, the desire for truths that give us peace.

This piece begins very softly as distant drums and bells are heard from the temple. As the listener approaches nearer the temple the music grows louder. The repeated notes 3 flat and A give the impression of the chanting of the priests and the scale passage in the bass clef represents the slow procession of footsteps. The piece ends softly as the distant bells are heard.

Certain waxes when solidified in a strong electric field exhibit unusual electrical properties. Several days after formation there is a polarization in the direction of the field which seems to persist for an indefinite length of time. The surface that was in contact with the anode during formation first ass a negative charge and then obtains a positive charge, which under proper conditions is practically permanent. The surface that was in contact with the cathode first has a positive charge and then obtains a negative charge which is the permanent charge.
