Student Papers and Notebooks, 1959-1973, Undated

Scope and content:
Schaefer retained many notebooks kept by the students who participated in the Atmospheric Sciences Program, as well as some of their final papers that detail the projects they worked on for eight weeks. Encouraged by Schaefer to do self-directed experiments, the students kept logs of observations and measurements to aid them in their final reports to staff and peers. A few also sketched illustrations to accompany their notes. Some of the papers in this subseries are final reports of the students’ experiments while others are thoughts and reflections on the experience as a whole.
Arrangement:
Arranged chronologically, then alphabetically by student within each year.
