COURSES FOR GRADUATES

101. Advanced Physical Measurements-and Investigation. 102. Mathematical Physics. 103. Mathematical Theory of Electricity and Magnetism for Engineers. PHYSIOGRAPHY PHYSIOGRAPHY.—Three objects are aimed at in this course, viz.: To promote the change in the method of teaching geography so generally advocated in recent years, to provide a rational basis for the study of geographic distribution of animals and plants, to place in their proper light the geographic factors in the history of man and his present well being. The first part of the semester is devoted to a discussion of the general principles of meteorology, oceanography, and climatology. ,This is followed by a study of the physical geography of North America and Europe, with reference to the objects named above. 1.
