Field Camp 1964

Students In 1964 the Departments in the Geological Sciences Major were changed again, into a Department of Geology-Geophysics and a Department of Geochemistry-Mineralogy.  Courses took on Gchem, Geology, Geophysics, and GSc names.  The field courses became Geol 470, Introduction to Field Geology, during the academic terms and summer Geol 472, Field Geology.  It is unclear, from the University General Catalog, which majors were required to take Geol 472.  Most of these names are from the database of 1965 Geology or Geological Sciences alumni that, hopefully, is a proxy for 1964 field camp, although some may have attended a year earlier or a year later, and some may not have been required to take it.
