Essential Science: Uniformitarianism

I nearly became a geology major, but decided my abominable math skills would prevent any possible success. So to fulfill science and math requirements as an undergrad, I took geology, but not the notorious "Rocks for Jocks" classes. I took the intro sequence for geology majors. I wanted the real stuff.  It was a wonderful time to study geology in the middle 1970s. As in all my other classes, a full professor taught the classes and brought us many learned lectures three days of every week for an entire year. In that class I was able to expand my knowledge of glacial geology. The essay question on my last geology final was about glacial succession in New York state and out to Long Island. I predicted the question, prepared for it, and nailed it. Aced the class. Awesome!
