University group.
Work was begun on the camp in
June 1880, when eighteen faculty
members, graduate students, and
undergraduates, set up a base
camp near Red Lodge from which
reconnaissance trips We're made
throughout the region. Later in the
summer detailed studies were be-
gun, and students and foreign
guests of the International Sum-
mer School party were guided to
points of exceptional scientific and
educational interest.
Establish 1881 Camp
For the 1881 season log cabin
camp near Red Lodge was leased,
and this served as a central head
quarters for the faculty members
and their families and base from
which advisors could visit the sub
camps of graduate students (and
their Undergraduate assistants)
who were carrying on the detailed
study of local areas for their Ph.D.
theses. Thirty-five faculty mem
bers and students participated in
the 1881 campaign, and the total
colony, including the families of
faculty members, numbered about
sixty. The number was temporarily
increased by visits from the Scott
Fund Expedition; the Transcontin-
entail Excursion for Boys, and the
International Summer School of
Geology and Natural Resources.
