Any field dealing, as this one does, with such a wide range of human pursuits is bound to be culturally advantageous, while allied fields permit courses in Geology, Meteorology, Anthropology, Economics, or History. The tutorial reading covers the fundamental and philosophic conceptions of geography; most of the list would be considered fascinating reading even to those whose ides of geographical studies are based solely on boring grade school memories...
