Persons desir¬ ing to reach the School from down town or East Liberty should use the Center Avenue (Lincoln) car line to Center Avenue and Allequippa Street. SPECIAL ADVANTAGES The location of Pittsburgh, in the very heart of the bituminous coal fields of the Appalachian system, and in the most richly productive oil fields of Western Pennsylvania, with the great concentration here of min¬ ing, metallurgical and petroleum interests, makes this undoubtedly one of the most advantageous points in the United States for a school of this character. It is also conveniently located with reference to the bituminous coal fields of Ohio and West Virginia, the anthracite fields of Eastern Penn¬ sylvania, and the Lake Superior iron and copper regions. BUILDINGS The School occupies remodeled buildings formerly used by the Stu¬ dents Army Training Corps. These consist of one building 314 feet by 65 feet, in which are the laboratories for Mining, General Metallurgy, the Metallurgy of Iron and Steel, Ore Dressing and Fire Assaying; two build¬ ings adjoining, each 50 feet by 65 feet, containing four large classrooms; and a two-story building 152 feet by 40 feet containing the drafting room, the laboratories of Geology, Mineralogy, Petrography, Petroleum Engi¬ neering, and four classrooms. EQUIPMENT LABORATORIES IN THE SCHOOL OF MINES 1. The Mineralogical and Geological Laboratories. Their equip¬ ment is exceptionally complete, the laboratories ranking among the best in the country. Included are : The Smith Cabinet. This collection was formed by the two sisters whose name it bears, and is rich in mineralogical and zoological specimens. Mineralogical Collections. In addition to the Smith Collection there is a systematic, labelled collection of 3,500 specimens, numerous smaller sets illustrative of physical properties, crystallization, etc., and large amounts of exceptionally rich material for student use and identifica¬ tion. For crystallography there are large collections of small wooden models, and larger wooden, glass and pasteboard models for lecture use, as well as the latest instruments for crystal measurement. Petrographical Laboratory. This contains about 10,000 rock speci¬ mens and 5,000 thin sections for microscopic study, 10 petrographic micro¬ scopes and a number of the instruments used in more advanced optical mineralogy. 5 The Geological Laboratories are equipped with numerous collections illustrative of geological phenomena, geologic maps and government reports, collections of fossils, models illustrating structural geology, etc., while through the courtesy of the Director and Trustees of the Carnegie Museum, with part of the staff, opportunity is afforded for the study of the excellent paleontological collections of the Carnegie Museum. Economic Geology Laboratory. The collection of material illustra¬ tive of Economic Geology includes suites of ores from most of the promi¬ nent mining districts, and suites of specimens of the more important non- metallic minerals, such as coals, building stones and clays. 2. The Field-Instrument Equipment includes a large assortment of the various types and makes of instruments used in land surveying, railroad surveying, construction work, leveling, geodetic surveying and mine surveying. The instruction of the student in the care, adjustment and use of the various types of instruments has been kept clearly in mind and well provided for in the selection of equipment. 3. The Mining Laboratory is equipped with models illustrating the principal systems of mining, hoisting, haulage, etc.; hand drills, breast drills, rock drills, coal-mining machines, miners’ lamps (including electric lamps), apparatus for testing safety lamps, working model of mine fan. instruments for measuring the velocity of air currents, etc. Air and elec¬ tricity are directly available as power, there being in the laboratory an air compressor and receiver, and a switchboard and complete wiring. 4. Metallurgical Analytical Laboratory. This is equipped for metal, slag, etc. analysis, and for electrolytic experiments in metal plating and refining. Large laboratory tables with individual lockers are pro¬ vided, a good hood, storage batteries, and the necessary electric meters for control. The stock room is conveniently available to the student. The equipment for Metallography includes the necessary micro¬ scopes and photographic apparatus. The grinding and polishing apparatus and equipment for thermal analysis are located in an adjacent room. The dark rooms are suitably equipped and well ventilated. The physical testing equipment of the School of Engineering is avail¬ able for students in the School of Mines. There is available for the laboratory study of Iron and Steel, equip¬ ment for microscopic and thermal analysis, the furnace laboratory for heat treatment, the forge shop, and the electric furnaces for making up special heats. Much of the equipment is particularly chosen to meet the needs of this work. For the electric furnace work some 150 amperes of direct current is available from the University power plant; also some 600 amperes of alternating current from the Duquesne Light Company’s lines which can be transformed to any desired voltage up to 220 volts. 5. Furnace Laboratory. This laboratory is provided with assay furnaces and melting furnaces using both coke and gas for fuel; equip¬ ment for roasting and sintering, with tools, pyrometers, etc. Individual lockers are furnished students for special equipment. 6 6. Ore Dressing Laboratory. This laboratory is designed to illu¬ strate the principles of crushing, screening, classification and concentra¬ tion of ores, and of allied metallurgical processes, such as amalgamation, cyanidation and leaching. A crushing and grinding equipment reduces ores from pieces 5 inches in diameter to pass 100 mesh screen. Sizing and classifying apparatus is represented by several types. Small jigs, laboratory and half-size concentrating tables of different makes are provided, also slime tables and a well-equipped flotation laboratory, with supply of ores, oils, etc. Cyanidation and other hydrometallurgical work are provided for by both leaching and agitating tanks, pressure and vacuum filters, etc. 7.

LIBRARY FACILITIES The Library. The total number of volumes in the University Li¬ brary is about 24,000. A Reading Room is maintained in connection with the School, and is well supplied with the leading technical periodicals. The Carnegie Library, with its immense collection of scientific books and periodicals, is near the University, and all of the files and collections are available for the use of students. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION All candidates for admission to the School of Mines must be at least seventeen years of age and furnish testimonials of good moral character. Those who come from other institutions must present certificates of honorable dismissal. 7 APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION As soon as you have reached a decision to enter, send to the Registrar, Room 109, State Hall, for an Application Blank. Fill in this blank as soon as it is received and mail it to the Registrar, who will send for your high school record and advise you of ad¬ mission possibilities. METHODS OF ADMISSION 1 Certificates of the College Entrance Examination Board and of the New York Regents are accepted in lieu of entrance examinations at the University. For information concerning the dates upon which the examinations of the College Entrance Examination Board are to be held, address The Registrar of the University of Pittsburgh. II. Certificates from Accredited Schools. Instead of examination, certificates from high schools and academies whose work has been ap¬ proved by the University as being equivalent to that required for admission to the freshman class, will be accepted. The official blank provided by the University should be used. It may be obtained upon application to the Registrar or Dean. III. From Other Colleges. Students from other institutions having entrance requirements equivalent to those of the University of Pittsburgh and offering equivalent courses of study, will be given provisional credit for the work done and admitted to advanced standing without examina¬ tion. If their work proves satisfactory, the provisional credits will be made permanent. EXPLANATION OF REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION The University sets no time at which it will offer regular scheduled examinations for admission. This may be arranged if occasion arises. The practical agreement of High School courses in general with the list of subjects allowed for entrance makes such examination for the most part unnecessary. For admission to the School of Mines the student who is a candidate for a degree must offer fifteen units, a unit being the equivalent of four recitations a week of one hour each for one year, or five recitations of three-quarters of an hour each. The units are as follows for 1920: English, 3 units. Algebra, 1Y2 units. Plane and Solid Geometry, 1Y2 units. History, 1 unit. Language, other than English, 2 units. Physics, 1 unit. Five additional units must be offered from the approved list, which includes Latin, Greek, Modern Languages, English, History, Civics, 8 Economics, Mathematics, General Science, Physiography, Drawing, Manual Training, Geology, Astronomy, Commercial Geography, Chemistry and Biology. In general, any subject given regularly in an approved high school and properly certified by the Principal will be accepted. CONDITIONS No applicant with less than fifteen units will be admitted as a regular student. No conditions will be allowed except in specific subjects, in which there may be no more than two units. It is highly desirable that a student should enter without any conditions, but if they are allowed, they must be removed in part before the second year, and wholly before the third year. REGISTRATION The office of the Registrar is in Room 109, State Hall. At this office all registration will be made directly. All officers of instruction are required to follow the same rules, and under no circumstances may admit to a place upon their rolls the name of any student who has not a card, issued or authorized by the Registrar, in testimony of the fact that he has complied with all regulations, general and specific, both as to his admission and classification, and the payment of tuition or fees. The office of the University Registrar is open throughout the year. Old students are required to renew their registration before the beginning of every semester, both at the opening of the school year and during the progress of the year. A penalty of five dollars per semester for late registration is added to the semester bill. VACCINATION The University requires for admission a certificate from a physician, stating that the student has been successfully vaccinated against smallpox or has had smallpox. This must be presented, properly filled out and signed, at the time of registration. In default of this, registration will not be permitted unless the student will submit to inspection or vaccina¬ tion by the University Department of Health. This requirement is neces¬ sary to carry out the laws of the State of Pennsylvania and of the City of Pittsburgh as they refer to vaccination and school attendance. Blank forms of certificate issued by the University will be sent upon application to the Registrar. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION New matriculates are required to have a physical examination made by the University Department of Health and this must be completed dur¬ ing registration week. Appointment for the time of this examination must be made at the time of registration. Students coming from out of town should be prepared to take the time for this examination on the day they register. 9 TESTS FOR FITNESS The Department of Psychology of the University conducts tests upon all incoming students, the object being to determine what may be expected of each, so that the student who is subnormal in any direction may be given proper assistance; or if he is not fitted to take the course in the School of Mines, that he may be advised to take up another line of studv. In the case of the student who is abnormally bright, care may be neces¬ sary to see that he conserves his health by keeping within proper limits of study. These tests may be supplemented by medical examinations where indicated. Special attention will be paid in the School to the development of character, initiative and leadership, which are of paramount importance in the profession. SCHOLARSHIPS A limited number of scholarships, entitling the holders to a part or all of the tuition, are available in the School of Mines. For a list of these scholarships, and information concerning the conditions under which they are awarded, apply to the Secretary of the University. TUITION AND FEES Tuition $210.00, payable in two installments, $110.00 first semester and $100.00 second semester. Summer Course in Surveying (1920) $50.00, not including board. The tuition for the first semester entitles the student to admission to all athletic events and certain other activities under the jurisdiction of the Advisory Board of Student Activities. A charge is made for laboratory supplies and other materials used in courses requiring them. Coupon books costing $5.00 each are provided for this purpose. Late Registration Fee: A fee of $5.00 is added to the tuition charge if registration is not completed within the dates specified. Examination Fee: A fee of $5.00 is charged for each examination for advanced standing without regard to the number of credits involved. The same fee is charged for every reexamination. Graduation Fee: Due upon graduation, $10.00 for each diploma. The above figures do not include charges for books, instruments, et:. REFUNDS No refund of tuition will be allowed if a student withdraws from a course after the middle of the semester.

DEGREES The degrees conferred upon those satisfactorily completing courses are, respectively: Engineer of Mines (E. M.), Metallurgical Engineer (Met. E.), Petroleum Engineer (Pet. E.), Bachelor of Science in Petroleum Geology (B. S. in Pet. Geol.). COURSES IN THE SCHOOL OF MINES Undergraduate In order to retain the advantages of the elective system whereby the student is permitted to choose his work along the line for which he seems best fitted, and at the same time to be certain that every man shall have a well-rounded course, the following group system is in effect: Certain courses are required of all students. In each option, i. e., General Mining and Metallurgy, Coal Mining and Coking, the Metallurgy of Iron and Steel, and Oil and Gas Production, a further group of courses is required, leaving a margin for electives either in the major subject or in other subjects taught in the School (in special cases subjects taught in other Schools of the University may be elected). Inspection The industries in Pittsburgh and those conveniently accessible to the city are especially well adapted to illustration of the subjects taught in the School of Mines. Accordingly, visits of inspection to mines, mills, furnaces, oil wells, etc., are scheduled at frequent intervals. Owners and managers cooperate in every way possible, and the trips add greatly to the efficiency of the instruction. Each trip is under the direct supervision of an instructor, and written reports are required. A field trip of three weeks, under the supervision of instructors, is required. Cooperative Work During the summer vacations, except the one in which Surveying is scheduled, the student is required to spend his time in practical work in mine, mill or smelter, or in the field; he is here placed upon the same basis as other employes of the company to which he is assigned, and re¬ ceives the same pay as others doing the same grade of work. The superintendent advises the Dean periodically as to the progress made, and at the close of the summer period the student makes a written report, which is graded in the same way as is class work. Upon graduation, then, he will have had the advantage of considerable practical work in his chosen field. An important feature of the work of the School of Mines is this linking of theory with practice and it is of great value to the stu¬ dent in his preparation for his profession. 14 The positions to which students are assigned cover all phases of the work in mining, metallurgy, geology and oil and gas production. In ad¬ dition to the Pittsburgh district, students are placed in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Canada, etc. Final Examination for Graduation At the end of the last year a comprehensive examination is conducted, which may include any of the work covered in the course, and which will be preceded by a review of the major subjects. The object of this ex- amination is to insure that the student’s work is properly correlated in his own mind, and that he is able to apply the principles of such subjects as mathematics and the sciences to mining, metallurgy, ore dressing or oil and gas production. Graduate For graduate courses in the School of Mines, see also the bulletin of the Graduate School. The aim is to offer such advanced work in Economic Geology, Mining, Oil and Gas, Metallurgy and Ore Dressing, as will meet the needs of men having at least one year of practical work following graduation from a recognized mining school. In addition to the subjects mentioned above, certain courses in Economics, Sociology and Psychology, etc., have been arranged with special reference to their application to mining and metallurgy, with the idea of training men along managerial lines. Each application will be decided upon its own merits. In general, however, graduation from a recognized technical school, supplemented by at least one year’s practical work, will be necessary for admission. DEPARTMENTS OF INSTRUCTION The following includes the required courses in the School of Mines, together with a few electives which it was thought might be chosen by students of the school. For further studies which are open as electives, see the general catalog of the University. The number of hours a week required for a given course is divided between class, laboratory and study. Class hours cover lectures, recita¬ tions, quizzes and conferences. Laboratory hours are those required to be spent in practical work in the laboratory assigned. The sum of these two represents the total number of hours required to be spent in school. The number of hours listed for study is intended to include the amount of time deemed necessary for thorough preparation, and may include study, reference reading, writing of reports, writing up lecture or laboratory notes, etc. The total number of hours given for a course will therefore cover the entire amount of time in school and outside which the average student is expected to devote to that particular subject. 15 Lecture rooms and laboratories, when unoccupied by classes, are available for use as study rooms. The schedule of such rooms, with avail¬ able hours, will be posted at the beginning of each semester. If the stu¬ dent takes advantage of this opportunity, the time necessary for night work is reduced to a minimum. PSYCHOLOGY Dr. Snyder i. How to Study. First Semester This course is arranged to make clear the essential principles of effec¬ tive study.

MINING Dean Meller, Professor Black and Mr. - The aim of the curriculum in Mining Engineering is to provide the fundamentals upon which the graduate may build a successful experience, leading ultimately to the ability to initiate, direct and carry through a mining enterprise. In order to conduct mining operations intelligently, he will be called upon as an engineer to employ the principles of mathe¬ matics and physics; the sciences of geology, mineralogy, chemistry and metallurgy; and the arts of civil, mechanical and electrical engineering. He must also have ability for organization and business management. Class instruction is supplemented at appropriate times by visits to mines in the vicinity; by reference to mine maps, models, drawings, photo¬ graphs, lantern slides, motion pictures and other illustrative material. Standard books and periodicals, manufacturers’ catalogues and bulletins serve to keep the instruction abreast of current progress. i. Principles of Mining. Professor Black.

Dean Meller and Professor Black. Three Semesters These courses amplify the subjects treated in Mine I, where that treatment is not sufficiently comprehensive for the engineer interested primarily in mining operations. Both the technical and commercial aspects of mining are treated. Methods of mining iron, copper, gold, silver, lead, zinc and other ores are studied in detail. Numerous mathe¬ matical and other problems, similar to those met in actual engineering practice are introduced in order to apply the principles covered, and a considerable amount of original and individual work is expected. As far as possible, the problems form a series, based on data relating to a hypo¬ thetical mine and plant. There are numerous applications of subjects previously covered, such as the courses in graphics, mathematics, me¬ chanics, physics, chemistry and geology. Special emphasis is laid on the most recent practice. Working mines in Pennsylvania and adjacent states are used for purposes of illustration. Subjects covered here, but not included in Mine I are as follows: Power Plant—Steam, compressed air and electric; practical tests on each in laboratory and at mines. Mine Machinery—Steam, compressed air, electric and gasoline; study of consumption, efficiency and cost of operation. Equipment for haulage, hoisting, drainage, ventilation and rock drilling is considered. Plant Design—Preparation of working drawings for the ordinary timber and steel surface structures, such as head frame, ore bin, boiler house, etc.; preparation of bills of material and cost estimates. Law—Revised Statutes and subsequent Acts of Congress, together with Land Office procedure, affecting title to mineral land and other min¬ ing rights in the United States; laws of various states relating to under¬ ground operations.
