Description: Selenium and tellurium do not occur to any great extent in Nature and they are seldom studied in any detail. However, a general understanding of their properties, both physical and chemical, is essential in an investigation of their analytical determination. A general account may be found in many of the text-books on inorganic chemistry, but the following resumè has been included in this dissertation for the sake of completeness.

Description: From Conclusion: There were no great upheavals during Cole's governership, but his rule has been a very interesting study. The old order of things was coming to a close. The way was prepared under Cole for freeing of the slaves; and the old despotic rule became a thing of the past. The British Settlers agitated for and obtained a free press; thus the foundation was laid for democratic institutions. He was the first governor to lay emphasis on the necessity of municipal councils not only as a way of decreasing expenditure, but also as a school for representative government. The Boers were becoming race conscious and the present orientation of the political parties had their origin in this period, though subsequent events have made the political struggle embittered. Above all the stage was being set for the Great Trek and the opening up of the whole of the present Union of South Africa and Rhodesia ... Last but not least the native question was entering upon its modern phase. Chiefs were losing their power, they admitted that they could not control their subjects, and natives were entering the service of Europeans; not only to steal with greater impunity but also to be able to enjoy the security offered by a well organised and disciplined society.

The Anatomy of Microchaetus Saxatilis: with some notes on allied species

- Louw, M A

Authors: Louw, M A

Subjects: Uncatalogued
Language: English
Type: Master's theses , text

Description: Earthworms of the genus Microchaetus, Rapp.1849, are abundant in the Grahams town district. Microohaetus saxatilis, Rosa, 1S98,has been chosen as a subject for investigation as it is a valuable type for laboratory work, and it showed interesting characters which required detailed study. Members of the genus Micro chaet us are available in many regions of South Africa and are useful for work in South African schools and Universities. Micro chaetus saxatills is an 01igochaete worm belonging to the family Glossoseolecidae. These wonns were originally placed in the Lumbricina by Grube, (1850 p.345), but Rosa in 1887 (p.7) formed a separate family naming it the Geoscolecidae. He divided it into two sub-families :- (1) Geoscolecinae, and (B) Microchaetinae. Beddard was studying the classification of this family at the same time as Rosa. He spelt the name slightly differently, calling the family the Geoscolicidae, but he arrived independently at the same division into subfamilies (1888, pp. £43-278), although he suggests that perhaps an additional sub-family - the Homo gas. tridae - should be formed. Homo gas ter is undoubtedly an aberrant type, and it seems strange that Rosa who studied this genus should not have placed it in a separate sub-family. , Thesis (MSc) -- Faculty of Science, Zoology, 1941

Description: In a paper entitled "Bacteria of the Soil", Dr. Russell of Rothamsted is quoted as saying, ”The top six lashes might almost be called a separate world? 80 great is the number and variety of its inhabitants”• It is with a few forms belonging to this enormous biological complex that the author intends to deal, viz*, representatives of the Orders Pauropoda, Symphyla, Protura, Coleoptera and Hemiptera. Time does not permit the inclusion of a study of the multitude of Arthropod, species that occur in the soil, but a more complete work on these soil groups is intended in the future. McCullogh and Hayes (1922,p.288) state that the soil is an integral factor In the study of biological problems. Hence an understanding of the organic life of the soil, which is of great importance in relation to the other aspects of pedology, is a necessary adjunct to the study of the soil ae a whole. , Thesis (MSc) -- Faculty of Science, 1941

Die Afrikaanse drama (1920-'39) as spieël van die Suid-Afrikaanse volkslewe met inleiding oor die Afrikaanse drama as kunsgenre

- Van der Spuy, M T

Authors: Van der Spuy, M T
Date: 1942
Language: Afrikaans
Type: Thesis , Masters , MA
Identifier: vital:21117 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/6464
Description: Inleiding:'n Drama moet bo alles 'n direkte voorstelling gee van 'n natuurlike handeling, wat 'n aantal deur die kunstenaar geskape karakters deurmaak. Die wese van die drama is dus handeling. Allermins is drama 'n met gesprekke aangeklede verhaal, maar ook is drama geen blote karakteruitbeelding nie. Die handeling moet die uiterlike, maar veral die innerlike uitbeeld: Die psige van die mens, sy gevoelens, neiginge, hartstogte, ideë, in hulle skakeringe en wisselwerkinge - hier lê die gebied van die dramaturg. Maar wat 'n dramatiese handeling uitbeeld, moet meer wees as die menslike geaardheid, dit moet die lewe self wees.

Activate is a free newspaper which receives an annual grant from the Rhodes University Student Representative Council, however, majority of its revenue is generated through advertising.
