GEOLOGISTS, SURVEYORS WILL "ROUGH IT" IN NEW ENGLAND

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Geologists and mapmakers will have opportunity to do fieldwork in the healthful surroundings of New England this summer at two camps maintained by the University. A shifting base in the Mohawk Valley will be the center of geological activity while the surveyors will work in the vicinity of Squam Lake in New Hampshire.

The region in the southern Adirondack is one of the most famous geological study grounds in the country. Here the summer student may study easily early Paleozoic sediments overlapping the Precambrian complex as he "roughs it" according to the best geological tradition, living in a tent and sleeping in a folding cot.

The surveyors will live the same rugged life at Squam Lake. Hired cooks, it is learned, however, will prepare the camp meals.
