English: Dr. C. Leo Hitchcock, of the University's botany department, has been in charge of the field trips since 1938.With pick in one hand and notebook in the other, 13 University of Washington botany students combed the hills of Eastern Washington the past summer, collecting specimens for the campus herbarium. Traveling eastward in two trucks, they rolled on over into Idaho and Montana, gathering more material while they took their summer school in the open. By early August they were on their way back via the Canadian Rockies, making a loop of 2,200 miles.
