SUMMER CAMP FOR GEOLOGISTS

NEW FIELD COURSE PLANNED IN SAN JUAN MOUNTAINS OF COLORADO.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A new field course in physiography and general geology will be offered during the coming summer. A party will be under the direction of Professor Wallace W. Atwood, limited to those who have had at least an introductory college course in physiography or general geology.

Early in August the members of the party will meet at Ouray, Colorado. They will go at once into camp, and begin the systematic study of a portion of the San Juan Mountains. For three weeks this work will continue, and the men will be trained in the official methods of field work approved by the National Survey. At the close of that more systematic work an expedition will be conducted through the higher mountains.

The fee to the University will be $23, and each member of the party must pay his share of the camp expenses, but the camp will be so conducted that $100 will cover that item. The travelling expenses from Boston to Ouray, Colo., and return need not exceed $140.00, making the total necessary expense in connection with the course about $260.

A special meeting will be called soon, at which all detailed instructions regarding camp equipment will be given. The party will be organized by May 1.
