Field Camp 1978
Students
In 1978 the
Geological Sciences Major included options in Geophysics,
Geochemistry-Mineralogy, and Geology. Geology and G&M required GSc 470,
Introduction to Field Geology, during the academic terms and summer GSc 472,
Field Geology. A pre-camp cross-country excursion was available as GSc
471.
Some of these names are from Kate and Dan Chess, supplemented by names from the
database of 1979 Geosciences alumni that, hopefully, is a proxy for 1978 field
camp.
There are more names than people at the camp, perhaps because some 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.
