[2] 400-401-402. Engineering Geology. [Watson.]

12:30-1:30, M. T. W.

A course of three lectures a week and three hours for private study.
Special emphasis is given to the study of common rock-forming minerals and
rocks, building stones and ores. The divisions of dynamical, structural and
physiographical geology are covered in considerable detail, and the practical
applications of the topics treated to engineering work are pointed out. (Fall,
Winter, Spring.)

403-404-405. Economic Geology. [Watson.]

11:30-12:30, M. T. W.

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
of the earth with especial reference to those of the United States. Lectures and
collateral reading six hours a week. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)

406-407-408. Petrography. [Watson.]

10:30-11:30, M. T. W.

This course aims to give a full knowledge of the determination of the
common rock-forming minerals and rocks in thin sections under the microscope.
It includes discussion of the microscopic structure, mineralogical composition,
genetic relations, and distribution of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic
rocks. Lectures and preparation to the amount of six hours per week.
(Fall, Winter, Spring.)

420-421-422. Mining. [Thornton.]

10:30-11:30, Th. F. S.

Mine surveying, exploitation of mines, mining machinery and the uses of
electricity in mining. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)
