ANALYSIS OF ACTIVITIES OF INSTITUTIONS 



79 



Germany: Hamburg, Universitat. Excellent and com- 

 prehensive instruction in "Physik and Chemie des 

 Meerwassers" is given by Prof. B. Schulz and 

 associates. 



Netherlands: Utrecht, University, a course in physical 

 oceanography every other year by Prof. E. van 

 Everdingen, Jr., and some lectures by Prof. K. 

 Oestreich, the head of Geographical Institute. At 

 Amsterdam lectures are given by Prof. W. van 

 Bemmelen. 



Sweden: Lund, University. Prof. V. W. Ekman gives 

 no courses in oceanography but he is available for 

 conferences. 



United States: Cambridge, Mass., Massachusetts 

 Institute of Technology. Instruction in physical 

 oceanography is offered by Prof. C-G. Rossby and 

 Mr. C. O. Iselin II. 

 New York, Columbia University provides extension 

 courses in oceanography by Mr. V. P. de Smitt as a 

 part of the geographical program. 



Japan: Tokyo, College of Agriculture and Forestrj', 

 Tokyo Imperial University, instruction by Dr. 

 Juta Hara. 



Sapporo, Fishery Institute, Hokkaido Imperial 

 University, some instruction in connection with 

 the courses on fisheries subjects. 



,\lthough the foregoing list is almost certainly 

 incomplete, it is nearly enough complete to show 

 that the provisions for instruction in the funda- 

 mental principles of oceanography are far from 

 sufficient. One of the desiderata of English speak- 

 ing students is an adequate text in English on the 

 principles of dynamical oceanography. It has been 

 suggested that either Dcfant's "Dynamische Ozean- 

 ographie" be translated or that McEwen's "A 

 summary of basic principles underlying modern 

 methods of dynamical oceanography" be expanded 

 into a volume. (Both of the.se publications have 

 already been mentioned.) The adoption of either 

 suggestion would be helpful, but a new text, up 

 to date in all respects with such elaborations as 

 students need, would probably be more satisfactory.
