? The adjective unique admirably
characterizes the traveling course
in geology which will be offered
during the summer session under
the direction of Professor Henry
Landes, head of the l>epartment of
Geology. Inasmuch as geology is
pre-eminently an out-of-door science
it is the plan this summer, to limit
the instruction in geology to travel
ing courses.
At this session the entire ?ix
weeks will be spent in the field.
Four weeks will be Hpent in Yellow
stone Park, where the party will
live in camp. Traveling along the
park highways will !t>e by carriages,
but many excursions will be made
to places of interost which are
away from the beaten paths. Camps
will he established at the most at
tractive places for periods varying
from three to five days, and journ
eys afoot will be made from these
centers. On the return trip to
Seattle, short stops ?ill be made at
Hutte. Spokane and Portland
The entire course of the travel
ing course, including the registra
tion fee, need not ex<M?ed $150.
