University Extension course in Geography Professor Johnson 

 delivered fifteen lectures on the Geography of Europe to a class 

 of nearly one hundred teachers. 



By vote of the Division, Professor Johnson was appointed to 

 have charge of the Second Shaler Memorial Investigation of 

 shoreline changes along the Atlantic coast. During the winter 

 much time was spent in preparation for this investigation, and 

 field work was commenced on the east coast of Florida in the 

 April recess. During the spring and summer studies were made 

 at numerous localities from Long Key to the coast of Maine, and 

 in the Maritime Provinces of Canada; while six weeks were 

 devoted to studies on the Baltic coast of Sweden, the eastern coast 

 of England, and the coast of Holland. Messrs. D. C. Barton, 

 J. K. Wright, and G. B. Reed rendered effective service as Assist- 

 ants, and the party profited greatly by the personal co-operation 

 of many American and European geologists and engineers. The 

 scope of the investigation was broadened by extensive co-opera- 

 tion of the Geological Survey of New Jersey and the United 

 States Bureau of Mines. 



Geol. 12 and Mining 28, courses in advanced field geology, 

 were given by Dr. F. H. Lahee. Members of course 12 were 

 required, as hitherto, to report upon investigations undertaken 

 individually. For Mining 28 a new plan was adopted. October 

 was devoted to class work in the field, whereas, during the re- 

 maining part of the term, each student, individually, surveyed 

 an area which had been chosen for its value in exhibiting a wide 

 range of geological phenomena. This method was found to be 

 very successful. 



Dr. Lahee completed his research on the geology of southern 

 Rhode Island, and presented his results, for the Doctorate of 

 Philosophy, in a thesis entitled, "A Study of Metamorphism 

 in the Carboniferous Formation of the Narragansett Basin." He 

 spent his summer in field work in northern New Hampshire.
