Professor Watson.
Professor Thornton.
400-401-402. Engineering Geology. [Watson.]
10-11, 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. Laboratory 6 h. a. w.
403-404-405. Economic Geology. [Watson.]
11-12, 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. Laboratory 6 h. a. w.
406-407-408. Petrography. [Watson.]
12-1, 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. Laboratory 6 h. a. w.
420-421-422. Mining. [Thornton.]
