I’m interested in reading about the development of the Bible in English, and wonder if you have any comments on either _Wide as the Waters_ or _In the Beginning_? (I’ve recently read _God’s Secretaries_.) We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread. ---

Oh, I forgot page lengths too. I believe it was about 100 pages. 100 _very hard_ pages as I had to make 3 copies, using carbon paper. (Told’ja it was a long time ago.) ---

Well, I won’t be writing my MS thesis until 2005, but my undergrad thesis was “Three Sermons by Alan of Lille: The Evolution of the University in 12th-Century France,” B.A. in History with concentration in Ancient and Medieval Europe, 1984. ---

Thesis (M.A. Performance Studies, 1998): “The Woman With the Terrible Face: The Hiroshima Maidens, the Ghosts of the Atomic Bomb, and the Haunting of Post-War Japan and America.” 50 pages Dissertation (Ph.D. Performance Studies, hopefully Dec. 2003): The title is still in progress, but as of this morning it’s “Capture and Arrest: Crime Scene Photography, Forensic Aesthetics, and the Construction of the Serial Killer in Contemporary American Film and Fiction.” It should come in at about 200-250 pages. **Shoshana** , your dissertation sounds fascinating. I’d love to read it. ---

“An Adjustable High Speed Digital Delay System,” B.S, in EE, 1973, 45 pages. High speed back then was 150 MHz. “Design and Implementation of the Virtual Machine Resource Binding Language,” Ph.D in CS, 1980. The bound copy is at home, but it is somewhere over 200 pages. The real thing was the compiler I wrote (well, hacked from a modified version of the Zurich Pascal compiler) for it. I got to go to Austria to present it, so it wasn’t a total waste. Also did an MS thesis, but don’t remember the title or length at all. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-thesis-dissertation-title-and-length-here-please/199344.md?page=3)
