GEOGRAPHY.
Professor Carney.
Professor Scheffel.
1. Physical Geography.—Recitations from the text will be supplemented
by lectures and class discussion. After a consideration of the
more widely accepted theories of earth-origin, attention will be given
to the planetary relations of the earth, particularly with reference to
an understanding of the general circulation of the atmosphere and the
consequent data of climate. Weathering, stream work, relief as influences
by rock texture and structure, and their relations to man's
activities, will be studied as far as possible in the local vicinity. Laboratory
work will be conducted in small squads. Students will be
teaching.
Text-Books.—Davis' Elementary Physical Geography; Davis' Practical
Exercises in Physical Geography.

2. Geographic Influences.—This is a culture course combining
recitations and lectures, and is designed for grade, grammar, high,

and inorganic realms. Lantern slides will be used.
