Prerequisites: Trigonometry and High School Physics. Three recitations and six hours laboratory work a week. Autumn, Winter, and Spring quarters. Five credit hours per quarter. Text: Kimball's "College Physics." GEOLOGY 1. General Geology. This course deals with dynamical, structural, and historical geology. Origin and location of the more important western ore deposits will receive some attention. Lectures and laboratory work on rock specimens and geologic folds. Several field trips in the Wasatch range will be taken Saturdays. Three recitations and six hours laboratory a week. Autumn quarter. Five credit hours. Text: Piersson and Schuchert's "Text Book of Geology." 2. Mineralogy. This course includes a discussion of crystal forms, physical properties of minerals, and the determination of the more common minerals by means of physical characters. Considerable attention will be given to blowpipe analysis. The more common ore and rock forming minerals will receive special attention. Prerequisite: High School Chemistry. Two recitations and nine hours laboratory work a week. Winter quarter. Five credit hours. Text: Dana's "Revised Manual of Mineralogy" and Parsons and Moses' "Elements of Mineralogy and Blowpipe Analysis." THE WEBER COLLEGE 59 3. Economic Geology. This course includes: 1. A study of the non-metallic mineral deposits, including coal, building stones and fertilizers. 2. A study of the general features of ore deposits with the theories of their originLectures, laboratory work on typical rock and ore specimens, and field trips. Three hours recitation and six hours laboratory work per week. Spring quarter. Five credit hours. Texts: Rie's "Economic Geology," Emmon's "Economic Geology," and Reports of the U. S. Geological Survey. BIOLOGY 1. Lectures and readings in Zoology and a general introduction to its principles and concepts, including a study of morphology, physiology, differentiation, variation, and adaptation. Three classroom periods per week. Autumn quarter. Three credit hours. 2. Genetics. A study of the biological principles of life such as variation, nutrition, inheritance of acquired characters, mendelism, sex determination, and other genetic principles. Biology 1 or its equivalent is a prerequisite. Three class periods. Winter quarter. Three credit hours. 3. Heredity and Eugenics. The principles of Genetics as applied to the Human Race. A study of the laws of heredity with a view to the possibilities of improving the human race. Such subjects as human crosses, consanguineous marriages, proper control of defectives, federal control of marriages, etc., are discussed. Five classes per week. Biology 2 is a prerequisite. Spring quarter. Five credit hours. 4. Bacteriology. This course consists of lectures in which the fundamental facts of bacteriology are |
