He imparted to his students the high standards of ethics, commo n sense, directness of action, an d human ki ndness which gui ded their careers during the tu rbu­ lent early years of the petro leum industry. Many of his stu­ dents have attained the highest positions of responsibility in oil companies and other organizations.

WHO PAYS FOR THE NEWSLETTER?

Our Alumni fundis now overdrawn and we willbe keenly appreciative of financial help. If you consider the Newsletter sufficiently worthwhile, please send to the Chairman of the Department of Geology a check payable to The University of Texas.Printing past newsletters has cost approximately $8,000, which has beendonated by Sam Ellison and the Geology Staff from author's royalties on the freshman geology laboratory manual. Royalties are not adequate to cover allthe costs this year.
