INTRODUCTORY

The aim of the Department is to provide systematic training in Geology, including, as constituent sciences, Geography, Mineralogy, Petrology, and the geologic phases of Palæontology. The endeavor is to furnish this training in such a form as to contribute to a liberal education and at the same time to prepare for professional and investigative work in the science. The cultural purpose predominates in the earlier courses and the investigative and professional in the later, but both have a place in all and find their realization in a common method of treatment.

The brief synopses of subjects given under the several courses are intended merely to indicate the general line of topics treated. No hard and fast succession of subjects or rigid modes of procedure are contemplated. Full liberty is reserved to modify the courses, or even to change them somewhat radically, in the interests of better adaptation to the attainments, abilities, and desires of the students who present themselves. In the more advanced courses especially a large measure of individual adaptation is sought, and the courses are held plastic to that end. The scheme of courses rises by a progressive gradation from collective work by classes at the outset to purely individual work at the close.

University Fellowships yielding incomes of from $320 to $520 are open to students in Geology, and are assigned yearly in accordance with the University regulations governing Fellowships.

The Department of Geology occupies quarters in the Walker Museum building. The instrumental and illustrative outfit of the Department has been chosen with a view to the greatest effectiveness. A large and careful selection of geographic illustrative material, embracing relief maps, models, transparencies, photographs, lantern slides, and special devices, besides maps and charts, constitutes an exceptionally effective aid to instruction. The collections have been chosen chiefly with reference to effectiveness and serviceability in

laboratory and lecture-room work. The collection of fossils gives unrivaled facilities for certain lines of palæontological investigations. The Field Columbian Museum is located within a few blocks of the University, and its very extensive collections are open without expense to the members of the Department.

A special geological library is maintained for the use of the Department. It is open throughout the day and constitutes a study-room for students. Between the laboratories and the library, facilities are provided whereby the larger part of the student's work may be done within the rooms of the Department, and in intimate association with the members of the geological Faculty. The geological library embraces about 4,500 volumes. Besides standard works it embraces sets of the more valuable reports of scientific societies, official geological reports of the United States, Great Britain, India, and other countries, the state reports, maps, and charts of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, and of the United States Geological Survey, as well as many of those of European and other countries. The library is well supplied with files of geologic and geographic journals.

The Journal of Geology, a semi-quarterly magazine, devoted to Geology and allied sciences, is published by the Department. The immediate editorship rests with the members of the geological Faculty, but there are associated with them the heads of geological departments in some of the leading American and European universities, together with several official geologists of this and other countries.

I. The Doctor's degree. — The courses expected of candidates for a Ph.D. degree are as follows (some undergraduate courses being included):

A. Geology the Major Subject

1. Where General Geology is the major subject, Courses 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 30, 31, 32, 36, 39, 40, 41, 43, 44, 45, and 46, or their equivalents, together with special work in the line of the thesis.

2. Where Geography or Geographic Geology is the major subject, Courses 7, 8, 9, 13, 15, 16, 18, 20, 36, 38, 40, 41, 43, 44, 45, and 46, or their equivalents, together with special work in the line of the thesis; and in addition a general knowledge of Zoögeography and Geographic Botany.

3. Where Petrology is the major subject, Courses 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 20, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 (Courses 30-35, being taken as Double Majors), 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 44, 45, and 46, or their equivalents, together with special work in the line of the thesis; and in addition Mechanical Drawing, General and Molecular Physics, General Inorganic Chemistry, Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis including rock analysis.

4. Where Palæontologic Geology is the major subject, Courses 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26 (the last three as Double Majors), 38, 40, 41, 43, 44, 45, 46, or their equivalents, together with special work in the line of the thesis; and in addition Vertebrate Palæontology, General Biology, Field Zoology, General, Field, and Geographic Botany, and Ecology.

In all cases a thorough knowledge of the principles of Physics and Chemistry is presupposed.

B. Geology the Minor Subject

5. Where Geology is the minor subject, nine Majors of work are to be selected from the courses numbered 7 and upward, but these must include Courses 8, 15, 16, and 18.

6. In case Geology is taken as one of two Minors, the candidate is to select from four to six Majors of work from the above courses numbered 7 and upwards, including Courses 15, 16, and 18.

II. The Master's degree. - The courses expected of a candidate for a Master's degree, if all his work is taken in the Department, include seven Majors together with a dissertation, the courses to be selected from those numbered 7 and upward. They must include Courses 8, 15, 16, and 18.

When students come to the University with advanced graduate credits, the Department may recommend that certain courses be taken as review studies. In the case of students who have already done a large part of the required graduate work before coming to this University, and who have had much experience in field or laboratory research, the Department endeavors to make a just and reasonable estimate of equivalents, and does not rigidly insist upon the special apportionments of work above indicated.

A special geological library is maintained for the use of members of the Department. It is open throughout the entire day, and constitutes a study-room for students, to whom the library becomes a literary laboratory.
