The Belmont Lake conglomerate belonging to the Grenville Supergoup in southeastern Ontario was studied. The conglomerate is interbedded with graded siltstones, mudstones, sandstones, and carbonates, and is associated with what are possibly island arc volcanic cycles. Petrographic study has shown the conglomerate contains tuffaceous, intermediate volcanic, and a variety of sedimentary clasts. In addition both field and petrographic studies show that the conglomerate was derived from a local source -- most likely from the top of the third volcanic cycle and its associated sediments. The depositional environment of the conglomerate is presently unclear, but the overall stratigraphic context of the conglomerate seems to indicate a shallow water environment. / Thesis / Bachelor of Science (BSc)

The Progressive Era affected the South in different ways from other regions of the United States. Because Southern society was more entrenched in patriarchy and traditional social strictures, Nashville provides an excellent lens in which to assess the vision of a New South city. Known as “Athens of the South,” Nashville legitimized this title with the emergence of several colleges and universities of regional and national prominence in the 1880s and 1890s. In the first two decades of the twentieth century, Nashville’s universities solidified their status as reputable institutions, with Vanderbilt and Fisk Universities garnering national prominence. Within Nashville, local colleges, including Ward Belmont College, David Lipscomb University, Peabody College, Roger Williams University, and Meharry Medical College shaped and were shaped by the growing city. Higher education and urbanization created a dialectic that produced a new generation and a new monied class of young adults who thought and acted differently from their parents. Moreover, women became more active participants in public spheres because of opportunities provided by higher education. In most cases, Nashville’s women continued to use their husband’s prominence to earn greater success. In regard to race, the city’s African American colleges helped to produce men and women who formed the backbone of the rising black middle class and elite in the South. Nashville endured great change, formally beginning with the 1897 Tennessee Centennial Exposition, whereby the city’s trajectory followed a more modern approach, albeit southern style. Higher education played a large role in the direction of the city, both literally and figuratively. Shifts in attitude toward race, gender, and leisure combined to create a new youth culture. Young women and men socialized on and off campus through a variety of new forms of recreation. The experience of “college life” was more than attending classes but rather a fluid phase beginning with youthfulness and ending with adulthood. Social interaction increasingly became a major component of college life; the city of Nashville simply provided the stage. By U.S. entrance into World War I, Nashville had legitimized its position as a Southern urban center of entertainment and higher education.

The problem with which this study was concerned involved the identification of minimally brain-injured children. The performance on the "Birch-Belmont Auditory-Visual Integration Test" by twenty-five minimally brain-injured students was compared to the performance of twenty-five non-brain-injured children. It was found that when ages and I.Q. scores were not significantly different, and when sexes were approximately proportionate, the M.B.I. children scored significantly lower than did the non-brain-injured children. While it was indicated that the minimally brain-injured children perform less adequately on auditory-visual integration, no comparison of intrasensory and intersensory functioning was made. It was suggested that the test not be employed for sole determination of minimal brain injury, but that it may be used as a screening device quite appropriately.

Le cimetière-jardin, né au milieu du XIXe siècle, témoigne de changements dans les mentalités et d'une nouvelle sensibilité collective. A cette époque, l'espace de la mort était relégué en dehors des limites de la ville. Souvent interprétée comme une marginalisation des morts, cette mutation allait au contraire engendrer un culte des tombeaux qui, à la limite, allait atteindre l'hyperthrophie. Une nouvelle culture funéraire prenait assise. Elle s'étayait dans un espace spécifique dont les limites n'offraient aucune contrainte à la théâtralisation. Tout se passe alors comme si la cité des morts transposait les normes et les codifications de la cité des vivants. Elle devient son double. Notre modèle d'interprétation, le cimetière Belmont, nous a permis de cerner l'évolution de ce paysage funéraire. Le panorama s'étale du cimetière traditionnel au contemporain pour aboutir au mausolée communautaire atteignant le degré zéro de l'art funèbre. Deux axes d'étude sous-tendent cette recherche: l'objet funéraire et l'espace où il se dresse. Le premier, vu comme une icône, se transforme en objet culturel, si étudié dans sa relation avec l'autre. Un imaginaire collectif a pris forme et des incidences historiques, culturelles et sociales s'y rattachent. / Montréal Trigonix inc. 2018
