More on “Lost Voyages” of Semester at Sea. Sue Sommer has sent me material on the “Interterm” voyage she took during Dec. 1974/Jan. 1975 … once I saw the term “Interterm” used in connection with World Campus Afloat I googled the combination to see if anything would pop … BINGO! This is the text from the Chapman College newspaper (Vol. 13, No. 1 – Friday, Sept. 7, 1973) … note the following passage “Participants may enroll for three units of credit.” If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck … then it must be a duck. This is listed as a World Campus Afloat program, aboard the S.S. Universe Campus and three units of course credit are being offered for three different classes. This certainly looks like a “Lost Voyage” Question: Has anyone else in this World Campus Afloat group participated in either this voyage (Dec. 1973/Jan. 1974) or the following year (Dec. 1974/Jan. 1975)? Interim Offered on Campus Afloat Students can use the January Interim to make the whole world their classroom by taking advantage of the program of- fered by World Campus Afloat- Chapman College when it departs Los Angeles harbor December 26, on a thirty-two-day study voyage to Mexico and South America, returning to Los Angeles January 28. Courses aboard ship are oriented toward the port-of-call, with an emphasis on adventure and discovery. The itinerary will include port stops at Acapulco, Mexico; Guayaquil, Ecuador; the Galapagos Islands; Lima, Peru; and Puntarenas, Costa Rica. Participants may enroll for three units of credit or audit. DARWINS VOYAGE Students enrolled in the Seminar in Darwin and the Nineteenth Century Adventure will follow Darwins voyage to the Galapagos Islands and survey the results of his travels and scientific findings. BIOLOGY /ANTHROPOLOGY A course in Tropical Biology will offer students the op- portunity to study first-hand the flora and fauna of the tropical lowlands. Those enrolled in courses such as Cultures of South America or Seminar in Anthropology: Change and Continuity in Peasant Societies will be able to explore the ancient Mayan civilization ruins and to see features of the Indian cultures of Mexico and of present day South America. PRE-COLUMBIAN ART STUDIES Art students will examine Pre- Columbian art and architecture with an in-depth, first-hand study of the art and architecture of Mexico, Central America, Equador and Peru.
