LEIGHLY, A.B., Associate in Geography. RICHARD J. RUSSELL, A.B., Associate in Geography. Courses 1 and 2 constitute the introductory work in geography and will be required after 1923-24 as prerequisites for further work in the department. For the year 1923-24 the statement of prerequisites given below refers to number and content of courses as listed in the Announcement of Courses for 1922-23. The Major.-Announcement to be made later. Honors Students in Upper Division.-Candidates for honors in geography must take course 151 and present a thesis on a subject related to the work in this course. LOWER DIVISION COURSES (3) I. SAUER, LEIGHLY 1. Introduction to Geography: Elements. M W F, 8, and one section meeting. An introduction to the areal background of human activities, its significance to man, and modification by human effort. Climate, land forms, soils, mineral resources, seas and their shores, and space relationships are considered in their most important type forms as related to human activities. The selection of type areas affords opportunity for varied map study. 2. Introduction to Geography: Natural Regions and the Distribution of Population and of Cultures. (2) II. SAUER, LEIGHLY M F, 8, and one section meeting. A regional introduction to the geography of the world, in which the elements of geography (1) are considered in their sum as differentiating the world into regions of different opportunities and limitations. These regions are then studied in terms of the character, density, and stage of development of population, with special recognition of regional unity of dominant economic systems or "'cultures.'' Systematic regional map studies are followed. 3 [formerly 18]. Weather and Climate. (3) I. M W F, 8. RUSSELL Prerequisite: course 1A. A study of the atmospheric changes that determine weather conditions. The development of weather observations into climatologic data and the interpretation of their significance will receive special attention. The course is an introduction to meteorology with a view toward further study of climate (see course 113). 4. Map Reading and Map Interpretation. (2) II. RUSSELL W, 2; laboratory, W, 3-5. Prerequisite: a year of collegiate geography. A study of maps as the distinctive medium of geographic expres sion. Representation of relief, hydrographic conditions, culture, and other geographic data. Interpretation of projections, scales, symbols.

Exercises will be given in statistical analysis by means of graphs and map correlations. 151. Principles of Geography. (2) II. M F, 2. Prerequisite: three upper division courses in geography. SAUER Reports and conferences on the subdivisions, objectives, and methods of geographic science, with special reference to different schools of geographic thought as expressed in recent literature. The course is intended to outline the critical problems of the subject, in which most particularly research topics are to be sought by those who expect to enter advanced studies.
