The work of this department is conducted by means of recitations, lec- 

 tures, conferences, laboratory work, and field excursions. The student is 

 thus afforded an opportunity to gain. a familiarity with the principles and 

 theories discussed in the leading text-books, and encouraged to test these 

 theories and verify the principles. 



Geological studies are designed to meet the requirements of students 

 in civil engineering, students in the division of agriculture, students 

 specializing in zoology and botany, students in mining engineering, those 

 who expect to become mining geologists, and students taking Industrial 

 Science courses. 



Nearly every state and territory maintains a geological survey or min- 

 ing bureau or both. The federal government maintains the Geological 

 Survey and the Bureau of Mines. Mining and exploration companies and 

 many of the leading railways include one or more geologists in their corps 

 of expert advisers. Many high schools and most colleges and universities 

 include geology in their curricula. The supply of well trained geologists 

 never exceeds the demand. 



The Department of Geology together with the Department of Mining 

 Engineering occupies quarters in Engineering Hall. The working equip- 

 ment consists of museum materials, field and laboratory instruments. 



The museum contains carefully, selected series of fossils, minerals, 

 rocks, and ores, all available for study purposes. Among the more im- 

 portant collections are the educational series of rocks collected by the 

 United States Geological Survey; the Smithsonian collection of rocks and 

 minerals; the Krantz collection of about two thousand rocks and four 

 hundred minerals ; the Rohn, Hodson, and Young collections of rocks and 

 ores from the Lake Superior region; the English mineral collection, con- 

 taining two hundred specimens and one hundred and fifty species; the 

 Baltimore series of more than two hundred specimens of rocks and min- 

 erals typical of the petrographic province of Baltimore; the Gushing col- 

 lection from Clinton County, New York; a considerable amount of mate- 

 rial to illustrate the physical features of rocks and minerals.
