Prof. Davis to Study Coral Reefs

Professor W.M. Davis, Sturgis-Hooper Professor Emeritus of Geology in the University, leaves today to visit various island groups in the Pacific Ocean with the purpose of studying the coral reef problem. He will return next November.

During the outward voyage he will visit the Fiji and other islands; in August he will attend the colonial meeting of the British Geological Association in Australia; and in September a supplementary meeting organized by the government of New Zealand. On the return voyage, he will stop at the Society Islands. The trip is made possible by a grant from the Shaler Memorial Fund.
