Purpose of the trip was to study various kinds of volcanic volcan-ic and sedimentary rocks in different locations and to observe ob-serve other geologic features relating to materials introduced introduc-ed in the three-day workshop preceding the field trip. Participating in the institute as discussion and study leaders lead-ers were Prof. Cooper, Dr. Wesley Wes-ley P. Larsen, dean of the CSU School of Science, Profs. Robert Jones and George Le-Baron, Le-Baron, CSU School of Science, and Mrs. Blanche Clegg, science Instructor from Virgin Valley High School in Mes-quite, Mes-quite, Nev. Each leader used a half -day session to introduce intro-duce a specific discipline in its bearing on the new program pro-gram used as a study basis for the institute.
