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
