WILLIAM BARTON ROGERS SCHOOL OF ECONOMIC GEOLOGY.
Professor Watson.
Adjunct Professor Grasty.
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.
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.
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.
Course 3D: Advanced Economic Geology.—Lectures, laboratory
and field work, reading, reports and theses. Primarily for graduates.
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.
