First term: A study of the cause and effect of atmospheric conditions, such as
changes of temperature, pressure, winds, humidity, cloud phenomena, precipitation
and storms, and their effects on aviation, etc. Weather bureaus and their
work, and weather predictions, are fully considered. Laboratory work includes
the construction and use of meteorological instruments, the construction and
interpretation of weather maps, and practical weather forecasting. (b) Physical
Geography. Second and third terms: A general course devoted to the consideration
of the origin, growth and decay of land forms, the significance of geographic
features, and the agencies affecting changes in those features. Oceanography
is treated briefly in the latter part of the course. Laboratory work in
