Geology B1: General Geology: Principals of dynamical, structural and
historical geology designed to give a general survey of the forces operating
upon the earth, the phenomena of earthquakes, vulcanism, mountain making,
the form and structure of the earth, and its past history. Three hours of lectures
and six hours of laboratory. Laboratory fee, $3. Two lecture sections.
Six laboratory sections. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 2 courses.)

Professor Roberts and Assistants.

Geology B2: Applied Geology: May be taken by first-year students.—This
course is primarily for those who wish to obtain a general knowledge of
the place that geology occupies in our present day civilization, the relation of
geological phenomena and conditions to human activities. The course gives
first a resumé of the geological history of the earth and the present day
physiography. It includes a study of geological environmental factors and
their effect on the industrial development of the different regions of the United
States; a study of water supply; a study of the principal minerals, methods of
mining, cost, distribution, and the part they play in the industrial development
of the world; followed, at the end of the last term, with special lectures on
geology and engineering, geology and industry, etc. No laboratory. (B.A. or
B.S. credit, 1 course.)

Geology B4: Mineralogy: Open to all students.—First term: Principles
of crystal structure and its relationship to the properties of minerals. Second
and third terms: Descriptive, physical and chemical mineralogy. Three hours
of lecture and six hours of laboratory. Laboratory fee, $5. (B.A. or B.S.
credit, 2 courses.)

Assistant Professor Pegau.

Geology B5: Elementary Mineralogy: Lectures and recitations with
laboratory work on the simple rock-forming and leading ore-forming minerals.
One two-hour laboratory period, Monday, 2:30-4:30. (B.A. or B.S. credit,
