Field Camp 1956

Students In 1956 the Curriculum (Department) of Geology-Mineralogy required summer Geologic Surveying (Geol 70) and Field Geology (Geol 72).  The Curriculum (Department) of Geophysics-Geochemistry required Geol 70 and Field Geophysics (GG 403).  This list from the database of 1957 Geol Sci alumni hopefully contains the names of field camp attendees, although some may have attended a year earlier or a year later.
