ANN'M'T-8 MINERALOGY. ANDREW C. LAWSON, Ph.D., Professor of Geology and Mineralogy. ARTHUR S. EAKLE, Ph.D., Instructor in Mineralogy. A laboratory deposit of five dollars a year is required f Course 1, to cover cost of materials actually used and breakage of apparatus. Deposits are not required for other courses in this department. The Group Elective. Prerequisite to the Group Elective are, in addition to Course 1 in Mineralogy, Courses 1 and 2A in Physics. 1. Mineralogical Laboratory. Dr. EAKLE. The course comprises two parts: (a) Practice in the determination of unlabeled minerals by means of their physical properties, the apparatus consisting of pen-knife, pocket lens, streak plate, magnet, and acid bottle. The object is to give the student sufficient familiarity with the most commonly occurring minerals of geological and economic importance to enable him to recognize or determine them in the field without delay. (b) The latter half of the course is devoted to the determination of minerals by blowpipe analysis. 6 hrs., throughout the year; two units each half-year. Two sections: Tu Th, 9-12, 1-4. Prerequisite: Courses 1A and 3 in Chemistry. Elective, College of Civil Engineering, with Mechanical Engineering 8 or Drawing 8A.
