101 farming classes. His work and services in the Institution and the State have been entirely satisfactory to the College authorities from the very beginning and by his energy, skill, and perseverence, he has succeeded in building up his Department until it is one of the most popular and important Departments of the College. Dr. Logan has had wide experience as a Geologist in practical work: he was assistant on the Kansas State Geological Survey from 1895 t0 1897 and again in 1900; he was collector for the Field Columbian Museum of Chicago in 1898; he was a member of the Wyoming Scientific Expedition in 1899; he was assistant on the New York Geological Survey in 1902; and he has been an assistant on the present Geological Survey of Mississippi since its inception, where his published bulletins will speak for themselves. He is a Geologist of national reputation and was honored for his scientific attainments by being elected a member of the Sigma Xi of the Univer- sity of Kansas ; an honor that has been conferred on few of its graduates. He is a member of the Geological Society of America, the Kansas Academy of Science, and other scientific bodies. His investigations and written papers and monographs cover various phases of the geology and mineralogy of Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, New York, Mississippi, and other States. He has contributed many valuable articles to scientific journals and his writtings are quoted as authority in many of the standard text-books on geology. But his culture as a scholar is not limited to the field of geology, and he has contributed many acceptable articles to the standard literary magazines.
