This problem is intended to be an introduction to the design of a software system which translates PDP-8 assembly language source into it's machine-readable object code. This assembler runs on the IBM 360/50. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the basic PDP-8 assembly language. For the description and use of this assembler the reader is referred to the PAL-III SYMBOLIC ASSEMBLER PROGRAMMING MANUAL from DEC (order number DIGITAL 8-3-5, Digital Equipment Corporation: Maynard, Massachusetts, 1965.). The Second problem of the study concerns the design of a simulator for the PDP-8 computer.

The primary purpose of this investigation was to acquire information about the fundamentals of participating in group and one-person shows. The assumption was made that upon acquiring this basic information an understanding of the intricacies of the larger exhibition procedure could be attained. I proposed to investigate aspects important to the production, selection, and installation of my work in a formal gallery setting.

The questions answered by this investigation were as follows: 1. Will a clay surface accept multiple emulsions and multiple development processes with little or no loss of detail? 2. Can a gum-bichromate print be accomplished using a normal 35 millimeter negative in an enlarger? 3. What is the effect of different oxides and fluxes on the emulsion? and 4. What is the effect of firing on the experimental emulsions?

The concern in this project was the utilization of metal joining processes which used no heat in the construction of sculpture. The problem area was motivated by an attempt to avoid some of the inherent problems and limitations incurred when welding, brazing soldering are employed. Specifically, the following questions were considered: 1) Can the non-heat joining process be utilized as a design element? 2) Does non-heat joining allow the use of lighter (30-16) gauge metal? 3) Are distortion and bracing problems reduced by use of non-heat joining processes? 4) Can more diverse metals such as aluminum, copper, brass and bronze be utilized in these processes? 5) Do these non-heat processes make allowances for manipulation of the metal prior to the construction of the sculpture?

This paper explores the history and creation of Maurice Ravel's Valses nobles et sentimentales and its predecessors. Walter M. Coldewey explores the waltz and its expression through Maurice Ravel's work, as well as the works that influenced him.

This paper analyzes the Variations on a Theme by Schumann, Op. 9, created by . Pamela S. Lee discusses the influence of Robert and Clara Schumann on Johannes Brahms and his music, evaluating the impact of the piece and its origin.

This paper explores the lesser known songs Wolfgang Mozart composed for voice and keyboard and examines developments in harmony, melody, and style. Timothy G. Seelig traces the history of these songs, their structure and interpretation, and promotes study of the pieces.

This paper provides an in depth examination of the style and works of Antonio Vivaldi, particular his secular solo cantatas. Stephen J. Town also provides historical background about the development of the solo cantatas as well as the life of the composer Antonio Vivaldi.
