Field Camp 1959

Students In 1959 the Curriculum (Department) of Geology-Mineralogy required summer Geologic Surveying (Geol 70) and Field Geology (Geol 72).  The Curriculum (Department) of Geophysics-Geochemistry had two options -- Geophysics and Geochemistry, both of which only required Geol 70.  Most of these names are from the database of 1960 Geological Sciences, Geology, and Geology-Mineralogy alumni that, hopefully, is a proxy for 1959 field camp, although some may have attended a year earlier or a year later.

Sam Romberger says he remembers that Larry Lattman came out to give evening lectures, because Larry caught him dozing.
