Reminiscences of Days as an Undergraduate at Caltech in the 1960s: Geology, Student Body Politics and Intercollegiate Football ()
ABSTRACT
From 1960
to 1964, I was an undergraduate student at the California Institute of
Technology [Caltech] in Pasadena, California. During these years, I spent much of my
time indulging in student body politics and playing intercollegiate football.
However, with the encouragement of a number of faculty in the Division of
Geological Sciences [not yet GPS], I saw the light and became a geology major
[strictly speaking, geophysics]. This paper is an expansion of a talk I
presented at the 90th Anniversary of the Division of Geological and
Planetary Sciences in 2017.
