Seattle, March 10 -- Thursday Prepared for my talk at 11 A.M. on Universites and Research. It was at the Fa- culty Club of Washington University and I finished at noon. Present about 20 Instructors only Professors and all doing research work. Then had lunch with about left of them. After lunch had Professorn Deurn tell me more of his South American work. His collections have trials with the Jurassic and Cretaceous and Upper Cretaceous. East of the Andes, except in Chile, Ur- gayini south for Honduras. All is done in de- tail and all is recorded into the actual conditions of the field that no pencil and note can match. He was seven years in doing the work, and most of the time had four field assistants all college graduates. All was paid for by the Standard Oil Co., and a detailed stratigraphic re- port is in their hands. The paleontology and its re- action on the stratigraphy is still to be done, and it may take him once than five years to do. Then he has a Cretaceous collection made.
