ELEMENTS OF MINERALOGY.—The first term's work is intended to be a general introduction to the subject. Instruction is given both by lectures and in the laboratory. In the lectures, which, occur on specified days (2 or 3) each week, such subjects as follow are discussed: genesis of minerals; conditions favoring their deposition; origin of the massive and crystalline forms; relationships of minerals, and their classification; the physical properties of minerals; as color, luster, hardness, gravity, streak, etc., with the conditions which may cause these properties to vary; elements of crystallography, etc. In the laboratory the student is first made acquainted with the simplest trustworthy methods for proving the presence or absence of the acids and bases. He is then required to determine a large number of species by their physical and chemical properties only. Fall term. Professor ROLFE and Mr. MOSIER. Bequired: Chemistry 1. 2.
