GEOLOGY, MAJOR COURSE.—This course begins in the second semester, following Mineralogy 1, and is continued through the first semester of the succeeding year (Geology 2). Either semester counts as a major study. (a) Dynamic Geology. The instruction given under this head is intended to familiarize the student with the forces now at work upon and within the earth's crust, modeling its reliefs, producing changes in the structure and composition of its rock masses and making deposits of minerals and ores. A series of localities is studied in which great surface changes have recently taken place, with a view to ascertaining the character of the forces producing such changes, and the physical evidence of the action of like forces in the past. The subject is taught by lectures, and is abundantly illustrated by maps, models, charts, and views. (b) Petrographic. This course is a continuation of Mineralogy 1 (b) (p. 241), and deals with fragmental rocks in substantially the same manner as that does with crystallines. [Continued under Mineralogy 2 (p. 242).] (c) Historical Geology. The work on this subject is substantially an introduction to the history of geology as a science. Especial stress is laid on the development of the North American continent and the evolution of its geographic features. (d) Paleontology. The scheme of instruction in this subject places before the student the classification adopted for those organic forms occurring as fossils, together with the succession of the various groups in the strata, with the cause, as far as known, for their appearance and disappearance. The student is required to familiarize
