Both Al Sanford and Gerry Gross point out that in 1968 professors had
to wear coats and ties, even while they were in the field. Students were
also expected to don coats and ties when delivering presentations. Gerry
adds that when Stirling Colgate showed up at a faculty meeting shirtless
and shoeless and wearing shorts, the dress code began to relax.

The picture above was taken when the Geoscience Department
was hosting a group of students (about a dozen) from the Royal School of
Mines, Imperial College, University of London in the early 80s. David
Norman is pictured with the Africans in the group. Dave says "We ran
4 joint tours of mines, 2 in the US and 2 in England, Spain, and Portugal."

If Quick Time comes up when you click on the TIF, you
may not be able to save the file to disk.
You will need to disassociate Quick Time from opening TIF files in
your browser. To do this, try the following:
For Internet Explorer
You may want to bookmark this page before following this procedure
as you will have to close and reopen your browser during the process.
What's the difference between TIF and TIF-LZW?
TIF-LZW is a TIFF file saved using LZW compression to make the file
size smaller. This compression is lossless (unlike JPEG compression),
so no information is lost when the file is compressed. Verify that your
graphics program can open this type of file. When it opens the file, it
will uncompress it and then you can edit it and save it as a regular TIFF
file. Note that both types of TIFF file have the same .tif extension.
The only way you can tell the file is compressed is looking at the file
properties in your graphics program.
Hey, which is it--TIF or TIFF?
TIFF stands for Tagged Image File format. Since DOS/Windows likes 3-character
extensions, TIFF files are named < filename.tif>. So we
end up using TIF and TIFF interchangeably. They're the same thing. Really.
