COMMITTEE ON OCEANOGRAPHY 
There is no separate department offering work toward a degree 
in oceanography. The University considers that specialization in marine 
science should be undertaken within one of the classical scientific dis- 
ciplines, such as biology, geology, physics, or chemistry. The Committee 
on Oceanography will assist students who wish to prepare themselves for 
work in this special field, and will help them arrange joint programs of 
study when that is desired, Members of the Committee are: 
FRANCIS BIRCH, Ph.D., Professor of Geology 
GEORGE F. CARRIER, Ph.D., Professor of Mechanical Engineering 
GEORGE L. CLARKE, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Zoology, Chair- 
man of the Committee 
RICHARD M, GOODY, Dr.Phil., Professor of Meteorology 
FREDERICK V. HUNT, Ph.D., Professor of Physics 
COLUMBUS ISELIN, S.D., Professor of Physical Oceanography 
BOSTWICK H. KETCHUM, Ph.D., Lecturer on Biological Oceanography 
GILES W. MEAD, PH.D., Curator of Fishes, Museum of Comparative 
Zoology 
ALAN R. ROBINSON, +h.D., Assistant Professor of Meteorology and 
Oceanography 
RAYMOND SIEVER, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Geology 
HENRY M. STOMMEL, A.M., Professor of Oceanography 
E. BRIGHT WILSON, JR., Ph.D., Professor of Chemistry 
Degrees Offered: 
None in oceanography. Students must qualify in one of the 
classical scientific disciplines. 
Courses: 
The following are courses in oceanography or closely related 
thereto. Other suggested courses for students wishing to 
specialize in marine science may be obtained from the bulletin 
"Instruction in Oceanography."
