Geology B1: General Geology: Principles of dynamical, structural and
historical geology designed to give a general survey of the forces operating upon
the earth, the phenomena of earthquakes, vulcanism, mountain making, the form
and structure of the earth, and its past history. Three hours of lectures and six
hours of laboratory. Laboratory fee, $3. Two lecture sections. Six laboratory
sections. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 6 session-hours.)

Professor Roberts and Assistants.

Geology B2: Applied Geology: May be taken by first-year students.—This
course is primarily for those who wish to obtain a general knowledge of the place
that geology occupies in our present day civilization, the relation of geological
phenomena and conditions to human activities. The course gives first a resumé
of the geological history of the earth and the present day physiography. It includes
a study of geological environmental factors and their effect on the industrial
development of the different regions of the United States; a study of water
supply; a study of the principal minerals, methods of mining, cost, distribution,
and the part they play in the industrial development of the world; followed, at
the end of the last term, with special lectures on geology and engineering, geology
and industry, etc. No laboratory. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 3 session-hours.)

Principles of crystal structure and its relationship to the properties of minerals.
Second and third terms: Descriptive, physical and chemical mineralogy. Three
hours of lecture and six hours of laboratory. Laboratory fee, $5. (B.A. or B.S.
credit, 6 session-hours.)

Assistant Professor Pegau.

Geology B5: Elementary Mineralogy: Lectures and recitations with laboratory
