GEOLOGY. 225 



Wisconsin State University. — Nine fellowyiiips have recently been e8- 

 tablisbed in this nniversity through the inHuence of President T. 0. 

 Ch;»niberlin, and one or more of these is assigned to <;eoh)<;y from time 

 to time, as the bent of thony,ht of fellows may indicate to be wise. A 

 chair of tigrieultnral physics is also maintained; and the incumbent, 

 Prof. F. 11. King, devotes a large part of his time to original work more 

 or less closely connected with geology. A part of President Clnunber- 

 lin's own time is devoted to researches in geology, the results of which 

 are published by the U. S. (leological Survey. 



There are several American universities and colleges which make no 

 specific provision for original investigation in geology, but nevertheless 

 promote the science through otlicers who are connected with State sur- 

 veys, who divide their energies between research and didactic work, 

 and who jmblish the results of their researches in State documents. 



University of Alahama. — Dr. Eugene A. Smith is at the same time 

 professor of geology in the university and State geologist, and fre- 

 quently receives the assistance of pupils in the prosecution of his State 

 work. 



University of Georgia. — During LS88, Dr. J. W. Spencer was called 

 to the chair of geology and natural history in this university, and about 

 the end of that year was appointed State geologist. The plans for the 

 CO ordination of research and instruction here are not yet matured, and 

 thus far no publications have emanated either from the university or 

 the survey. 



University of Minnesota. — The professor of geology in this institution, 

 N. H. Winchell, is also State geologist. Although but little field in- 

 struction is introduced in class work, advanced pupils are sometimes 

 inducted into practical geology by assisting Professor Winchell in the 

 State survey. 



University of North Carolina. — No provision is made in this institu- 

 tion for original investigation, but the professor of geology and natural 

 history, Joseph A. Holmes, has adopted the policy of cond)ining (jlass 

 instruction with field study; and in his capacity as acting State geolo- 

 gist he avails himself of the assistance of advanced pupils in the pale- 

 ontologic aiul cliemic work carried forward by the State. 



kState University of Ohio. — Prof, h^dward Orton, State geologist and 

 l)rofessor of geology in the university, divides his time between survey 

 work (in which he is sometimes assisted by advanced pupils) and class 

 instruction; and field studies are occasionally undertaken in connection 

 with the courses of the text-books. 



Rutgers College. — The professor of geology in this institution, Dr. 

 George H. Cook, is also State geologist, and the greater part of his 

 energies (and sometimes the assistance of advanced pupils) are devoted 

 to State work.
