Intercollegiate Geological Trip

Tomorrow the sixth annual Intercollegiate Geological Excursion in New England will be held under the supervision of Professor H. E. Gregory of Yale at Meriden, Connecticut. Teachers and students who have had elementary courses in geology are invited, notice having been sent to 36 of the chief institutions of New England. Members from some distance will meet today at the Hotel Winthrop in Meriden, and in the evening a meeting will be held to describe the work of the excursion. The subjects to be studied are chiefly sandstones and interbedded lavas of the Triassic formation, with special regard to an important fault line, on which the displacement amounts to 2000 feet.

The Harvard party will leave by the 4 o'clock train from Boston this afternoon and will return Saturday evening. In previous years the excursion from the University has included between 40 and 80 men and has proved very helpful.
