Item Problems in Indian families : a survey of major problems and coping procedures of twenty Indian families residing on the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1975) Emerson, Michael A.Item Abraham Flexner and the reform of American medical education to 1915(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 1979) Schmotzer, Michael StephenIn 1910, at the behest of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, Abraham Flexner published a scathing expose, Medical Education in the United States and Canada. Many modern authors have considered the publication of this work--most often referred to as the Flexner Report--to be the beginning of dramatic reform in medical education. Flexner had accurately described the absymal conditions existing in the medical colleges of the United States and had recommended sweeping reforms to rectify the situation. It is the purpose of this paper to assess the actual impact of the Flexner Report on the reform movement. The paper briefly outlines the history of medical education and medical licensing prior to Flexner. It attempts to analyse the impact of modem science on medicine and medical education. Because nineteenth century science was mostly German in origin, a section is devoted to the Germanic influence. Flexner had made his name as an educator before taking up this special project. Therefore, the paper discusses his background as well as the report itself. By comparing the progress of the reform movement before and after the publication of the Flexner Report, the author has found little evidence of any impact made by the report. The reform began shortly after 1900. It was caused by advances in medical science and sustained by the efforts of the American Medical Association. This fact was bom out by the author's research carried out at the archives of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Flexner was an educational theorist and a publicizer of causes. His work was used by the AMA to aid the cause of reform but he did not start the reform or even change the course of events in any significant way.Item Sex ratio studies on the wheat stem sawfly, Cephus Cinctus Nort(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 1950) McGinnis, Arthur JamesItem Effect of pressure on catalytic polyforming of gas oil(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Engineering, 1950) Ennenga, Benard A.Item Oviposition of the wheat stem sawfly (Cephus cinctus, Nort.) with special reference to some morphological characteristics of vulgare wheats(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 1955) Kreasky, Joseph B.Item Catalytic hydrotreating of shale-oil coker distillate(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Engineering, 1955) Holecek, Russell J.Item The autoxidative behavior of milk lipid fractions in systems of controlled composition(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 1966) Ku, ShunItem Factors affecting coleoptile lengths at leaf emergence, days to emergence, and relative growth rate in covered and hullness, two- and six-rowed barley (Hordeum vulgare L. and Hordeum distichum L.)(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 1965) Schneiter, Albert A.Item Agronomic potential of sainfoin (Onobrychis viciaefolia) for Montana(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 1963) Holden, John L.Item Cenozoic geology of the Madison bluffs area Gallatin County, Montana(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 1970) Schneider, Gary Bradley
