- Watts, H L, Agar-Hamilton, J A I

Authors: Watts, H L , Agar-Hamilton, J A I

Description: While there are studies of the Border region, which give a picture of the economic, industrial, and physical features of the dominant centre of East London and of its Bantu population, no detailed study of the White population of the city had, prior to 1954, been published. So it was that in 1964 the present study was commenced as primarily a sociological analysis of the White population of East London. It was designed to deal with this gap in our knowledge of the region. The study includes a description of the historical development of the city, and some reference to its regional setting. The White population of the city is analysed in some detail. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

Contributions to the development of the piano sonata : the sonatas of Joseph Haydn, with special reference to their historic position and to the influence of German, Austrian and Italian elements on their form and style

Description: This thesis, which is intended for inclusion in "The Piano Sonatas of the 18th century in Austria" (Vol.3 in the publication series "Contributions the the development of the Piano Sonata") aims to evaluate Haydn's position within the history of the piano sonata. In spite of the widespread popularity of Haydn's sonatas among professional musicians and amateurs, surprisingly little has yet been published regarding the compositional aspects of these works. The main contributions of musicological value were written by Hermann Abert, Karl Geiringer, Walter Georgii and William S.Newman. The recent studies, published as Vol.l and Vol.2 in the above mentioned series, made it possible to trace in much greater detail the various formative factors that influenced the form and style of Haydn's piano sonatas. Moreover, it proved the composer's personal merits not only in the development of this specific genre but also in the creation of 'The International Viennese Language of the High-Classical Period'. The newly gained insight, in turn, should lead to an even higher appreciation of the great master, who utilized the achievements of his predecessors and contemporaries in an original and individual manner and thereby gained a position far superior to that of many other composers.

Description: From Introduction: Education, in the broadest sense of the term, is as old as man himself, but the attention devoted to it has fluctuated to extremities over time. The "Economics of Education", as a separate study, has suffered the same cyclical life, but has in recent years experienced a prolonged revival of interest, eapecially with regard to the concept of "Human Capital".

Description: In 1966 het die Karoo-ontwikkelingvereniging die Universiteit Rhodes genader met 'n versoek dat die Universiteit Rhodes se Instituut vir Sosiale en Ekonomiese Navorsing 'n sosio-ekonomiese Opname van hulle streek sou maak om 'n feitegrondslag vir ontwikkelingsbeplanning te verskaf in afwagting van die voltooiing van die Oranjerivier-projek. Soortgelyke versoeke is van die Middellande-Ontwikkelingsvereniging en die Vereniging van Openbare Liggame van die Suid-Oostelike Distrikte ontvang. Nadat die Departement van Beplanning, wat die idee van 'n streeksopname sterk ondersteun het, geraadpleeg is, is daar ooreengekom dat hoewel Port Elizabeth en sy agterland 'n gemeenskaplike ekonomiese eenheid vorm, die gebied onderverdeel kon word, en dat die Universiteit van Port Elizabeth verantwoordelikheid vir die stedelike gebied Port Elizabeth en Uitenhage sou aanvaar, en die Universiteit Rhodes, deur die Instituut vir Sosiale en Ekonomiese Navorsing die Opname van die binnelandse gebiede sou lei. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

Religious orders and personal and group attitudes and values

- Wright, Beryl

Authors: Wright, Beryl
Date: 1970
Subjects: Church and social problems -- South Africa , Christians -- South Africa -- Grahamstown -- Attitudes
Language: English
Type: Thesis , Masters , MSocSc
Identifier: vital:3358 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1007685 , Church and social problems -- South Africa , Christians -- South Africa -- Grahamstown -- Attitudes
Description: From Introduction: For many years I have been interested in the relationship between ethical and moral attitudes and values and religious belief. I became aware of a conflict in attitudes concerning the role of the Church in society as a member of the Methodist Church, and this stimulated me to study seriously the role of the Church in present day society. I found that members of the Wesley Guild, of which I myself was a member, conceived of the Guild in three forms: (a) as a social club; (b) as an institution for training in Christian service, both at the level of spiritual belief and practice and at the level of practical help to those in human need; (c) as an assooiation where individual spiritual values are fostered. Members differed in their view of the Guild, some seeing it in terms of all three enumerated forms, others emphasising one or two of these forms. This induced tension within the Guild. Wider observation led me to the view that this diffused concept of the Church and its functions was not peculiar to the Wesley Guild. It seemed to be general to the South African Church. I became confirmed in this view when, as a student at Rhodes University, I found that many theological students of different denominations shared it.

Description: This dissertation offers fairly full readings of three early Shakespearean comedies. Because these works are still partly misunderstood, it has seemed reasonable to lay the critical emphasis on explication, though a certain amount of judging has been inevitable. The aim has been to induce recognition of aspects of these plays to which much modern criticism has seemed opaque.

Some aspects of the Franco-German economic relations between the two world wars

- Wolf, Hans J

Authors: Wolf, Hans J
Date: 1970
Subjects: Economic history -- 1918-1945 , France -- Economic conditions -- 20th century , Germany -- Economic conditions -- 20th century , France -- Foreign relations -- Germany , Germany -- Foreign relations -- France
Language: English

Description: From Preface: In this thesis I have aimed at covering a field in Economic History where not many suitable publications are available in English. During the interwar period, the maintenance of peace and harmonious international relations was directly dependent on a reconciliation of the conflicting interests between France and Germany. In studying the economic implications of the Franco-German antagonism, I have tried to throw light upon the crucial role which this relationship played. The Appendix offers a quantitative survey of economic conditions in the two countries and of the relevant production and exchange problems. To assist the reader who is not completely familiar with this period, a brief summary of the relevant conferences, agreements and treaties is also offered in the Appendix, as well as some short biographical notes. I would like to make it clear, however, that this thesis is neither supposed to be a paraphrase of the Appendix, nor a mere treatise on the commercial relations between the two countries concerned. I aimed rather at revealing the forces behind the events and at illustrating how economic problems became quite often subject to political and military considerations. When trying to attain some understanding of Franco-German relations, it seems advisable to look not only at the interbellum period, but in the first instance to become aware of the currents of history which finally led to the two disastrous World Wars.
