The Department of English SiNcic the reorganizatit)n ut the Department i)f English under the direction of Dr. Smith, great importance has been lent to the teaching of the rules of composition and grammar which are of great significance to the engineering and business students. The success of these two classes of students depends greatly on their ability to use the English language correctly. To fulfill the aim of the Department, then, all students must elect at least one vear of English. The Arts students are required to take in addition a course in the study of Drama. The department is gradually expanding. Courses are gnen in public speaking and debating; these have gained great popularity as electives. Under the supervision of M. J. Luch the debate team annually meets teams from other schools. There is ample opportunity to those who desire to study and york on publications to do so. The course in Journalism providing this opportunity is responsible for the success of the Brown and White, the semi-weekly newspaper of the University edited by students. During the past year the Department of English inaugurated a course in graduate work, facilitating such advanced work for those students who majored in English.

The Department of Geology GEOLOGY is that branch of natural science which is concerned with the earth as we find it and the many changes through which it has passed. The geologist studies materials of which the earth is ■f - n composed, their associations and relationships, their modifications and alterations and the agents respon- »■ sible for these changes. The information obtained from these sources together with the investigations of fossils preserved in the rocks enable him to re- construct the history of the earth and to trace the . k evolution of life through the ages. Ttt H The Department of Geology has two purposes: first, to present geology as a cultural subject to those who wish to satisfy an intellectual curiosity as to BENJAMIN LeRoy Miller, how the geological phenomena are to be explained ,, , ' 7 „ ' and second, to teach geology as a practical and Head of thr Department ' t tn, r of Geoloi y technical subject for the engineer and the economic geologist who must be acquainted with geological principles if they are to find and develop useful and essential mineral and rock de- posits without undue expenditure of time, effort, or money, or build with safety great engineering structures, tunnels, etc., such as are demanded in modern industry. For both purposes, Lehigh is well situated. A wide variety of geological features is within easy access. The most important cement and slate operations of the entire country are close at hand. Anthracite coal mines are not far away and valuable iron and zinc deposits can be reached on one day trips. The Department of Geology was established at the beginning of the University by the appointment of Theodore Roepper, the discoverer of the Freidensville zinc deposits, as Professor of Mineralogy and Geology. He was followed by a number of other men who have distinguished themselves in the geological world. Among these are Dr. Edward H. Williams, eminent glacial geologist and founder of Tau Beta Pi; Dr. Joseph Barrell, who became one of the leaders in geological theory; and Dr. John D. Irving, who was a brilliant student in economic geology and editor of Economic Geology. The Faculty Benjamin LeRoy Miller, Ph. D Professor and Head of the De- partment of Geology.
