by a study of oceanography, and this by a study of rivers, mountains,
shore lines, etc. The spring term is devoted to a study of glaciers and
their effects, with especial reference to the United States. This course
is adapted to the needs of the secondary school teacher, besides fur
nishing a second year of training for those who wish to pursue the
subject of geology.
23. Elementary Meteorology. Two hours. Fall. Lectures and
recitations. T., 10. Laboratory practice, time to be arranged.
Geological Lecture Room. Professor Tarr.
This course is intended for secondary school teachers of Physical
Geography. Courses 22 and 23 together cover the ground ordinarily
included under the term physical geography.
24. Seminary for Teachers. One hour. Time to be arranged.
Consideration of methods to be employed in teaching geography and
the earth sciences in the schools. Geological Laboratory. Professor
Tarr.
25. Glacial Geology. Three hours. Time to be arranged. Open
to graduate students and to those undergraduates who are sufficiently
advanced. Professor Tarr.
In the fall and spring the class will investigate in detail the glacial
geology of a region selected for the purpose. This will give practice
in actual field investigation, and in field methods. In the winter term,
the notes and maps will be worked up, and conferences and discussions
arranged upon the results. In addition, each student will prepare and
deliver a lecture upon some subject in glacial geology.
26. Field Geology. Three hours. Time to be arranged. Open
to graduate students and to those undergraduates who are sufficiently
advanced. Professor Tarr and Dr. RiES.
At some time to be arranged, in both the fall and spring terms, the
class will spend a week in the field in some region of complexly folded
rocks in the Appalachians, where a detailed geological survey will be
undertaken. The method outlined in course 8 will be followed in the
winter's work in this course.
27. Geological Investigation. Field and work with
laboratory
readings, conferences, excursions, and the preparation of theses.
Original investigation based upon field work is undertaken by each
student. Primarily for graduates. Professor Tarr.
28. Geological Seminary. Two hours. Preparation and reading
of theses upon special upon
subjects, particularly investigations in the
field. Abstracts and discussions of the current geological literature.
Primarily for graduates. Professor Tarr.
