Vancouver March 12--Saturday At 9 A.M. started out for the Univ. of British Columbia and found it nearly eight miles out from the center of the city. First shut car to city limits and then bus to the University. After goin into three buildings found Prof[essor] William. Later Drcta Darfield came in and then I must call on President Klinck, for remmrs from German a Dutch Stroll. He is a bird girl interested in Agriculture. Then to the county club for lunch and finally a long drive to the east and the mainland to see the Crust Range and the high elevation Juranic batholith granodiorite. The drive was into the Capilano canyon and gorge. Upon the granodiorite rests the first water Eocene deposits with small gravel beds-- these may have an undulating dip towards Puget Sound of about 20 degrees. Informally noting these are the Pleistocene deposits now elevated about 650 feet above sea-level. Had dinner with the Williams family
