between the two departments, which this year has been signalized

 five professors of the Department gave instruction in topographic 

 mapping to the Harvard Reserve Officers Training Corps. 



In April the section of economic geology moved to com- 

 modious quarters in Pierce Hall.

At Radcliffe Geology 4 was given to twenty-two students and 

 Geology 5 to twelve students. The total enrollments at Harvard 

 were 703 as against 515 in 1915-1916 and 232 five years ago; 

 at Radcliffe, twenty-four as against forty-nine in 1915-1916. The 

 number of Harvard courses and half-courses was twenty-eight 

 as against fifteen in 1912-1913. 



Owing to war conditions none of the summer courses was given 

 this year. In June the degree of Doctor of Philosophy was con- 

 ferred on Messrs. D. H. McLaughlin, Alfred Wandtke, and Edward 

 Wigglesworth. 



Part of the income of the Whitney Fund was granted to Mr. 

 T. H. Clark, for his stratigraphic investigations in New York 

 State. The Sheldon Fund committee granted to Mr. J. P. 

 Connolly $650. for his studies of mining camps in the far west. 



The fund given by Dr. W. S. Bigelow, noted last year, was 

 again most useful, defraying the travelling expenses of three 

 visiting lecturers, Professor Scott of Princeton, Professor de 

 Martonne of Paris, and Professor Barrell of Yale.
