Item Twenty Years at Montana State College(Montana State College, 1931) Herrick, Una B.Provides a history of women's activities at Montana State College from 1910-1931. "In unfolding the awakening desires of our college women-desires which step by step, day by day, year by year, at last reached their fulfillment in increased numbers of women students, in carefully chosen vocations, and in effective organization she has, in a measure, painted a miniature of the whole woman's movement. Skillfully she has correlated woman's development at Montana State College with woman's development everywhere. The keynote of the woman's movement has been a desire for self-expression, an expression of self which would lead to real service to her fellowmen. It has been a golden thread which has wound in and out through every forward step in her advancement. The work of Dean Una B. Herrick at Montana State College merits the highest commendation. She has fulfilled a duty which she most sincerely and devotedly felt that she owed to the women students of Montana State College. She has laid broad and enduring foundations, which, however, altered and remodeled to suit changing conditions, will n ever crumble. The undergraduate women and the alumnae of Montana State College owe her the deepest gratitude."Item Land utilization on the Crow Indian reservation(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 1940) Runyan, Clarence S.Item Montana State College, 1893-1919 : a preliminary sketch(Montana State College, 1943) Burlingame, MerrillThis brief sketch was prepared in 1943 at the time the Montana State College observed its 50th Anniversary. At that time each Department and organization was asked to prepare statement of its historical development, and this outline was prepared to provide information on major events in the early years.Item History of navigation on the Yellowstone river(Montana State College, 1950) MacDonald, John GordonIn the mass of literature connected with the fur trade and exploration and settlement of the region now comprising Montana, the Missouri River as a route and a means of travel has received ample recognition, but its great tributary, the Yellowstone, has fared less well. It is little realized that travel on the Yellowstone River, from the days of the fur-trader to the coming of the railroad, played a very significant part in the history of the region. The Yellowstone was important first in exploration, and then in the fur trade, and finally was the decisive factor in the ability of the United States Army to open up one of the last remaining areas in the Northwest for settlement and peaceful pursuits.Item A comparison of Indian and Caucasian students' achievement as measured by the Iowa tests of educational development at an Arizona high school(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1962) Van Horn, Alan C.Item Movement and population of the mottled sculpin (Cottus bairdi Girard) in a small Montana stream(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 1963) McCleave, James DavidItem A method of measuring the comparative general level of management for farm operators on the Jocko Valley Division of the Flathead Irrigation Project(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 1963) Olson, Carl EdmundItem English achievement of seventh grade Crow Indian students and proposed ways of improving their language skills in the Hardin public schools(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1963) Dyche, Steven E.Item Electrical Conductivity of (NH4)2SO4 Single Crystals(American Institute of Physics, 1963-06) Schmidt, V. HugoItem A civic center for Harlem, Montana(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1964) Dolven, Fred O.Item Irrigation on the Crow Reservation / tribal and community benefits of the proposed Hardin Unit, Big Horn County, Montana(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Agriculture, 1964) Borton, Raymond EugeneThe purpose of this thesis was to take a look at the complex problems related to irrigation on the Crow reservation that need to be considered when making plans for the 42,600 acre Hardin Unit development made possible by the Yellowtail Dam. Two-thirds of the acreage is within the reservation. One of the main problems on the reservation is the complex ownership pattern of land due to the original allotment process and the heirship and trust status problems it has caused. This could be simplified through an expanded tribal land purchase program and the encouragement for Indian owner-operators through extensive changes in education, credit, employment, and attitudes. Greater tribal involvement in the Indian administration process would provide both employment and improve tribal organization. Those individuals who are interested in and able to operate farms and ranches should be given easier access to credit. The theses includes a very brief history of the tribe and its customs, a more detailed history of the allotment program and the multitude of problems it has brought through inheritance and the lack of interest majority of the Crow have in working the land themselves which has led to large scale leasing. Many of the Indians who owned their allotments in fee patent, sold them to non-Indians who usually bought those key tracts that contained springs and streams for stock water. This provided the non-Indian owner with control of the surrounding lands which could only be leased to the owner of the key tracts. By 1961 this had led to a situation where non-Indians used 90% of the grazing land and 94% of the cropland within the reservation. Discusses some of the abuses commonly present in the leasing process.Item A proposed mural for the Museum of the Plains Indian at Browning, Montana, with study based on personal adaptation of remembered themes or motifs(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Arts & Architecture, 1964) Parsons, Neil HenryItem Deuteron Intrabond Motion and Ferroelectricity in KD2PO4(American Physical Society, 1964-01) Silsbee, Henry; Uehling, Edwin A.; Schmidt, V. HugoThe Slater theory of the ferroelectric phase transition in KH2PO4 type crystals as modified by Takagi and extended by Senko is examined again in the light of recent measurements of parameters made on KD2PO4. Making full use of the measurements, and assigning an appropriate numerical value to one adjustable parameter which is not independently measured, the theory gives a nearly correct description of the shape of the spontaneous polarization curve. Also the value obtained for the Curie constant is probably satisfactory in view of limitations of the model and uncertainty of the high-temperature experimental data. The theory fails, however, in at least one important respect; the transition entropy is overestimated. This and other discrepancies are discussed briefly.Item A summer art school for Wild Horse Island, Flathead Lake, Montana(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1965) Schneider, Robert H.Item Some indication of the food buying knowledge of homemakers in three Montana counties(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1965) Laidig, Janice KayItem A resort village for the Big Horn Canyon(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1965) Ruth, H. Mark.Item Simple coulometer for studying protonic conduction in crystals(1965-12) Schmidt, V. HugoNOTES ON EXPERIMENTAL TECHNIQUE AND APPARATUS A simple glass coulometer with mercury electrodes was designed to measure the amount of gas evolved upon passing current through single crystals, to determine the extent to which electrical conduction in these crystals is due to protons or other gas-forming ions. It is useful if at least one coulomb can be passed through the crystal in a reasonable time interval. With single crystals of KH2PO4 and Li(N2H5)SO4 in this coulometer, the ratio of hydrogen evolution rate to crystal current indicates entirely protonic conduction.Item The history of federal aid to Montana education(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, 1966) Donohoe, Gordon ThomasThe purpose of this study was to bring together fragmentary information on the impact of federal monies on Montana education. The writer examined federal and state education department records arising in the way of administration and business, dealing with federal education aid. Chronicles, newspapers, magazines, pamphlets and federal laws has been reviewed. The following conclusions seem warranted from examination and analysis of data collected in this historical study: 1. Federal support was offered to Montana schools in 1864. However, the primary impact of federal aid to Montana education was felt with the passage of the Smith-Hughes Act in 1917. 2. Federal educational spending has had an impact on Montana public education although federal policy toward education has been influenced by factors other than educational ones, such as land settlement, national welfare and national defense. 3. Federal aid has been governed by dictates from Washington, D.C. 4. Federal funds in lieu of tax payments have not been sufficient to cover the additional cost of educating the children of federally dependent families. 5. Montana education can expect federal aid and controls in the future, as witnessed by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965.Item Causes for the drop out problem of Indian students and proposed ways of alleviating the situation in the Wolf Point High School(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1966) Kelly, William DeanItem Sensitive Low Level Transistorized NMR Spectrometer Employing Frequency Modulation(American Institute of Physics, 1966-08) Blankenburg, Fred; Knispel, Roy; Schmidt, V. HugoA transistorized NMR spectrometer has been developed which affords sensitivity comparable to that of the best vacuum tube spectrometers. This spectrometer has operated with sample coil voltages below 10 mV peak‐to‐peak. Frequency modulation is used to facilitate modulation at frequencies high enough to minimize effects of transistor 1/fnoise.
