Geology 5

Geology 5 deals with the historical aspect of the subject. It does not lend itself to as interesting lectures as does Geology 4. Professor Mather's lively nature, however, makes even an account of the Devonian Age less musty than it might else be. The laboratory work is eminently uninspiring. The section men, on the whole with Professor Mather's teaching ability and personal magnetism, make little or no attempt to raise the study of topographical maps from a boring task.

The field trips in the spring are worth while, giving one an excellent idea of the geologic structure of the area in the immediate vicinity of Boston.

German C

Those who flunk German A for the first half year or fare not too well in that course may take the first half year over again under the name of German C. It leads to German D, corresponding to the second half year of German A, which may be taken in the following fall. Dr. Howe, who is in charge of German C, is a teacher of the old school and is one of the very few men who can make nearly bearable a course which the vast majority are taking merely to satisfy language requirements.

German A has had enough abuse heaped upon it, both for its nature and for the prevailing poor instruction under green section hands. German C is just like German A, in that it is an unpleasant necessity for most of those who take it, but it has the advantage, at least, in Dr. Howe's sections, of being well-taught.
