On the other side of Tussey
Mountain about eight miles from
State College, surrounded on
three sides by mountains over
2400 feet in height, lies a bi'oad
stretch of swamp and forest land,
popularly known as Stone Valley.
A sportsman’s and naturalist’s
paradise, this section of the valley
is so dense with white pines and
hemlocks that the sun’s rays can
barely penetrate it. The Indians
fought many tribal wars over the
possession of this region which is
still thickly infested with bear',
deer, grouse and other game. Here
also the timber wolves made their
last stand in the state.
This area of scenic beauty and
awe-inspiring grandeur is the out
door laboratory of students at the
College who take courses in geo
logic surveying and field geology
during summer session. Here they
contact nature in the raw while
making geological maps, writing
reports, and studying rocks, fossils
and minerals at first hand.
Within a radius of only a few
miles in this area, sedimentary
rock formations of several geo
logical ages lie exposed, reveal
ing the secrets of the past to scien
tific study. Also near here are
rich deposits of iron, lead and
sine ores, glass sand, clay, and
limestone which may be studied.
At the camp, the students en
joy the comforts of home with the
freedom of camp life. In the main
building is a combined dining and
living room on the west end of the
first floor. The rest of the space
on this floor is divided into an of
fice, an instrument room, a kit
chen, and service rooms. On the
second floor is a classroom, a small
library and study room, a labora
tory, and a drafting room. Aside
from the main building, scattered
among the pines, are eight small
cabins which are the dormitories.
For recreation, a mushball dia
mond, and badminton and quoit
courts are provided. A “swim
ming hole” is within walking dis
tance and Whipple’s Dam is only
10 minutes drive from the camp.
After seven weeks of study at
the MI camp, the Geology 72
course concludes with a week’s
iOOO-mile inspection trip to im
portant mineral localities in Penn
sylvania, Maryland, Delaware,
New Jersey, and New York. The
party usually disbands at the Mu
seum of Natural History in New
York City.
Twenty-one students were en
rolled in the course this summer,
including two women students
from the College—Doris Bye and
Selma Moses. There were also
three Chinese students and one
Brazilian student sent here by
their governments.
