COURSE IN SURVEYING HELD DURING VACATION

For the third time, a course in Plane-table Surveying will be held during the Spring Vacation for interested Geology students. The course is limited to 12 members, who can be either graduate or undergraduate students. Dr. Kirk Bryan of the Department of Geology is in charge of the course, while C. R. Williams 2G will be the instructor.

The course is a volunteer affair which costs nothing and gives no college credit. This year it is to be held at South Attleboro, where the men taking the course will stay during the vacation period. Exceptionally good conditions for mapping and Geological work at this place were responsible for its choice.

Plane-tabling is a simplified form of surveying, and is valuable to Geologists because it can be used to map districts on a small scale. The process developed in connection with coal and oil districts, but it can be used for many other purposes.
