 Meriden will be visited next Saturday by representatives of several of the New England colleges who, under the lead of Professor H. D. Gregory of Yale, will come here on their annual geological excursion. Yale, Harvard, Amherst, Williams, Wellesley, Smith, Mt. Holyoke, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Wesleyan, and Trinity will be repre- sensed and the excursion will be con- ducted by Professor Gregory of Yale. The party will make its headquarters at Meriden's finest hotel, the Winthrop, and will start on it's expedition at 8:SO a. m. The expedition will include visits to the top of West Park, to the quar- ries, to Mt. Lamentation, and to the ex- tinct volcano on Berlin road. This will give the students a grand opportunity to study the triassic formation of the Connecticut valley; the details of the lava flows and other evidences of vol canic activity, and the systems by which the topography Of this region has been determined. A large number of the students. principally those from the Massachusetts colleges, will reach Meriden on the evening of the sixteenth, others will arrive on early trains the next day and still others will come later and join the party in the field. This excursion is one of the annual geological expeditions made by the students of the New England colleges each year for some time past. and they are regarded as great aids to the study of geology. No better leader than Professor Greg ory Of Yale could have been secured. He is an enthusiastic geologist, is very popular with his students and above all is thoroughly informed with regard to the region to be studied.
