400-401-402. Engineering Geology. [Watson and Lonsdale.]

11-12, M. T. W.

450-451-452. Field and Laboratory.

6 hours a week.

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. (Fall, Winter,

6 hours a week.

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. (Fall, Winter,
