ASTRONOMY.

ROBERT GRANT AITKEN, M.A., Sc.D., Astronomer, Lick Observatory, Mount Hamilton, California.

1. Modern Astronomy.

Dr. AITKEN.

A general lecture course on the more important problems of present-day astronomy, the instruments and methods used in modern observatories, and the aims of astronomical research. Many of these lectures will be illustrated by lantern slides. A knowledge of advanced mathematics is not a prerequisite. 2 units.

M Tu W Th F, 9. 1 Observatory.

2. Double-Star Astronomy.

Dr. AITKEN.

This course will include practical instruction in micrometer observations, the theory of orbit computations, with practical applications, and the study of individual stellar systems of special interest. A knowledge of plane trigonometry is prerequisite. 2 units.

M Th, 10, and three observatory periods to be arranged. 1 Observatory.

GEOGRAPHY.

HAROLD W. FAIRBANKS, Ph.D.

1. Field Work in Physiography. Dr. FAIRBANKS. A field study of that portion of the Sierras included in the Tehipite, Mt. Whitney, Kaweah, and Olancha topographic sheets. The party will cross the Sierras from Mineral King to Lone Pine by way of Mt. Whitney, returning by way of Independence, Kearsarge Pass, and Kings River Canyon. Attention will be centered on the general structure of the fault block of the Sierras and upon the canyons and glaciation. The descent into Owens Valley will permit a study of the main fault scarp and of the earthquake rift of 1872. Primarily for graduate students and teachers of Physical Geography. Admission on application to Dr. Fairbanks or to Professor Holway. Limited to 20 students. Laboratory fee, $8. To give time for satisfactory arrangements for the pack train it is desirable that registration be made by May 15.

The course will not be given unless 15 students register by June 1. The first three days will be spent at the University in preparatory lectures (M Tu W, 9, 1 North Hall). On Tuesday, June 23, there will be an excursion along the trace of the earthquake fault of April, 1906. Properly qualified students may register for not to exceed 5 units of graduate work.
