Oceanography department celebrates Committees at
50th anniversary with many activities r w ^ 3
BY RICHARD BRAY able about the ocean floor. Iwl jJUJglC
The Battalion
In 1949, Texas A&M became the first
college in the United States to offer a de
gree in oceanography, and today the de
partment celebrates its 50th anniversary.
Dr. William Bryant, head of the De
partment of Oceanography, said a dinner
today and a symposium Saturday will cel
ebrate the anniversary.
He said there will be six speakers at the
dinner, including the director of the Na
tional Oceanography and Atmospheric
Agency, four speakers from the industry
and one from A&M.
Bryant said the oceanography adviso
ry council will be inaugurated during the
celebration and A&M’s department is one
of the best in the nation.
“It is the oldest Department of
Oceanography in the country and we are
ranked in the top 10 of the oceano
graphic departments within the coun
try,” he said.
Bryant said the department has in
creased the amount of information avail-
“We’ve opened up knowledge of the
oceans, particularly in the Gulf of Mexi
co, the Caribbean and the Atlantic,” he
said. “Some of the more renowned
oceanographers have graduated from
A&M.”
Gerard Farrell, a media relations spe
cialist for university relations, said de
partment’s success is due in large part to
their faculty.
“We have some of the foremost re
search scientists in the world,” he said.
“Dr. John Morse, for example, who will
be installed as the Scherck Chair in
oceanography, is extremely highly re
garded.”
Farrell said the oceanography d
ment is continuing to conduct res
and make advances in the field. H
the goal of the future is to continue
a ranked university in the fie
oceanography.
“Our oceanography departme
presently working on the correlation be
tween the ocean and weather and climat
ic events,” he said.
