Landforms, structure, minerals, and fossils of the Rocky Mountains occupied the time of an expedition led to Banff, Canada, this summer by Professor P. E. Raymond of the Department of Paleontology. Nineteen students from Harvard and other universities made up the party.
Among the results of the trip was the discovery of numerous fossils hitherto unknown. New information concerning the geological structure of the Rocky Mountains was also gathered.
The Banff trip is made in alternate summers, and counts as a half-course for students of Harvard College who take part. The region studied includes beautiful Lake Louise, pictured in one of Sargent's paintings. The course is considered especially advantageous for concentrators in geology, since it provides an invaluable medium for out-door experimentation. This year the expedition will study geological formations in the Adirondacks.
