WILLIAM BARTON ROGERS SCHOOL OF ECONOMIC GEOLOGY.
Professor Watson.
Mr. Watkins.
Required for Admission to the Work of the School: The General
Entrance Examination, and the equivalent of one year's work
each in General Chemistry and General Physics.
There are four courses in this School as organized at present.
Primarily for Undergraduates.
Course 1B: General Geology.—A course of three (3) lectures per
week and nine (9) additional hours per week for laboratory and
field work, and private study, throughout the year. The divisions of
Dynamical, Structural, and Physiographical Geology are covered in
considerable detail. Special emphasis is given the common rock-forming
minerals and rocks, building stones and ores.
For Graduates and Undergraduates.
Course 2C: General Economic Geology.—Course 1B (or its equivalent)
prerequisite.—This course is designed to give a general but comprehensive
account of the origin, nature, distribution and uses of the metallic
and non-metallic products, with especial reference to those of the United
States. Lectures, collateral reading, laboratory and field work to the
amount of twelve (12) hours per week throughout the year.
For Graduates Only.
Course 3D: Advanced Economic Geology.—Lectures, laboratory
and field work, reading, reports and theses. Primarily for graduates.
Open to those students who have had Course 2C or its equivalent.
This course is designed to supplement Course 2C by giving advanced
students an opportunity to follow out more thoroughly special topics
in mining geology. The course will necessarily vary with the needs
of the individual student.
Course 4D: Economic Geology of the Southern Appalachians.—
Designed primarily for graduates. Open to those students who have
had Course 2C or its equivalent. In this course the mining geology
of the region, especially that of Virginia, is covered in considerable
detail. Excursions to various parts of the region will be taken and
individual reports required. Original investigation of an assigned
area, based upon field work, is required of each student.
