Abstract

Instruction in geology, mineralogy and geography has gone on continuously at Denison University since 1836, five years after the founding of the school at Granville, Ohio. Outstanding instructors have been L. E. Hicks, Clarence Luther Herrick, W. G. Tight, Frank Carney, Kirtley Mather, and Frank J. Wright. These teachers were conspicuously successful in motivating and inspiring a large group of persons to pursue professional careers. An unusual number of graduates went on to achieve distinction at the national level.
