New Building For Geology

On April 29, 1962 the Regents of The University of Texas announced approval of the construction of a new $2,250,000 building which willhouse the Department of Geologyand the Bureau of Economic Geology. This is a long-awaited and significant development. It will bring all geology teachers and researchers working in the main campus area together under oneroof. The libraries and map collections of the De- partment and Bureau will be combined to form the leading geologicallibrary in the Southwest, with room to gather one of the finest collections of geological reference materials in the world. Exchange of personnelbetween Bureau and teaching staff will be facilitated,although the Bureau will continue SecondGeologyLaboratory,about1920. Geologyoccupiedallof thisbuilding. to serveprimarily as a state geological survey rather than a researchorganization of theUniversity.The newbuilding will Regents have designated it the Will C. Hogg Building in recognition of the Texasfinancier who was one of the greatest supporters and benefactors of the University. Will Hogg, son of Governor James S. Hogg (for whom Hogg Auditorium was named), was not a geologist, although he gave the first endowed scholarships in geology at The University of Texas inhonor of two geologists with whom he was associated. Planning for the new building has already begun, and construction will soon follow. The present Geology Building will be air-conditioned and remodeled for use as biology laboratories and general classrooms. Many of us will leave the oldbuilding regretfully.More geologistshavebeen trained there than in any other building in the world, and from sub- First GeologyLaboratory,about1918.

The additional space will per- mit more intensive development of teaching and research in selected fields such as Geomorphology, Sedimentology, Ground Water Geology, Geochemistry, and Geophysics. The new building will be located about onelongblock due east of the present Geology Building between the Chemical EngineeringBuilding and the new Drama Building. It willbe on the north side of a new East Mall which will run from the Main Building east to San Jacinto Street. The East Mall will become the main entrance to the campuswhen it is completed, and the Regentshave already approved funds for immediate constructionof theMall. Thenew building will be about twice the sizeof the present one, and it will provide space for general classrooms in addition to facilities designed expressly for geologic use.

When Igot home, Esther Richards (now Mrs. Paul L.

Of course, the news of theForaminif- erawasthenout." Mr.Barrow's presentationremarksabout thediscovery and use of microfossils from well cuttings for correlation wereas follows: "During the first few years as this work in the Hous- ton laboratories gradually became known, prejudice and op- position to its validity was expressed not only by petroleum geologists, but by quite a few prominent geologists and paleontologists in the academic world. Miss Ellisor not only had to prove to her company,but also to convince therest of the geologic profession, that micropaleontology was important.Many times shehad to work wellsamples as unknowns,— not being given the name and location of the wells. This was not just to test her duringthe provingstage,butbecause some (of the Humble) geologists wanted to be certain that the determinations were based entirely on what was found in the samples, and not on other information as to what the age should be."

Geology Faculty News Mackin Accepts Farish Chair of Geology

J.Hoover Mackin, who taught at The University of Texas as a visitingprofessorlast fall,has now been appointed to the William Stamps Farish Chair of Geology and will join our staff permanently in September. Dr. Mackin is one of the most highly regarded teachers of geology in the country. Al- thoughhis specialty is geomorphology, he is famous also for his research in engineeringgeology and hydrology, ore deposits, Tertiary volcanic rocks, and structural geology. Dr.Mackin received his Bachelor's degree from New York University and his advanced degrees from Columbia Univer- sity, where he was an outstanding student of the renowned geomorphologist, Douglas Johnson. Since 1934 he has been teaching at the University of Washington and serving part- J.Hoover Mackin time as Geologist for theU.S. Geological Survey.In addition he has been a consultant on various hydroelectric and dam 1962-63 Geology Faculty construction projects in the Northwest and evenas far away as Iceland.
