Administrative history
The Dawson Geological Club was established on 18 October 1932 by G. Vibert Douglas, Carnegie Professor of Geology at Dalhousie University. Inspired by the Sedgwick Club at Cambridge University, its purpose was to stimulate interest in the earth sciences, host lectures and meetings, and organize field trips around the province. The club was named for Sir William Dawson, the internationally renowned geologist and educator who conducted extensive geological surveys of Nova Scotia during his tenure as the province's superintendent of education between 1850-1853.
