A note from Pfau Library: We stumbled across this long-buried piece of underwater basket-weaving research during our digitization project and are now proud to present it to the world and the audience it deserves. The Journal of Irreproducible Results is doubtless disappointed they didn't get hold of it first.
The origins of this monument of scholarship are unclear. It may been produced by an education professor as a model thesis structure for his grad students to follow, or it may be the work of a librarian with too much time on their hands one long hot summer in the late 1980's. So the identity of author Ima Pfoul must remain a mystery for now.
