SEMINAR IN U.S.
Professor From Lincoln Professor J. R. Burton, professor of agricultural engineering at Lincoln College, will leave on Thursday to attend an international seminar for hydrology professors at the University of Illinois. The seminar, which will be held from July 13 to July 25, is sponsored by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, and Professor Burton has a U.N.E.S.C.O. travel grant to represent Australia and New Zealand at the meeting.
Professor Burton will present a paper on hydrologic education in New Zealand and Australia. After the seminar he will visit several universities in the western part of the United States to look into teaching and research in the water resources field.
His whole visit to the United States, Professor Burton said yesterday, would be largely associated with a postgraduate programme in land and water resources which Lincoln College hoped to introduce in 1971. It was a preliminary to an expansion in teaching and research in the area of water resources, which was of growing importance in New Zealand.
Professor Burton will be away for about five weeks and a half.
