MINERALOGY.

ANDREW C. LAWSON, Ph.D., Professor of Geology and Mineralogy. ARTHUR S. EAKLE, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Mineralogy.

A laboratory deposit of five dollars a year is required for Course 1, to cover cost of materials actually used and breakage of apparatus. Deposits are not required for other courses in this department.

1. Mineralogical Laboratory.

Assistant Professor EAKLE and Mr. OSMONT. 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, and magnet. 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: Matriculation Chemistry. Elective, College of Civil Engineering, with Mechanical Engineering 8 or Drawing 8A. Prescribed, Sophomore year, in the College of Mining, to the extent of 1 unit each half-year.

2c. Physical Properties of Minerals. (G.E.)

Lectures.

Professor LAWSON.

1 hr., second half-year. Th, 11. Prerequisite: Course 2A. Prescribed, Junior year, in the College of Mining.
