Geol 470, Introduction to Field Geology, during the academic terms and summer Geol 472,
Field Geology. A pre-camp cross-country excursion was available as Geol

Geological Sciences
alumni that, hopefully, is a proxy for 1971 field camp,
although some may have attended a year earlier or a year later. Some of
these alumni, in addition, may have been geophysics option, so would not have
attended field camp.
