Participants in the Surveyors Historical Society Rendezvous '03 head back to school for a lesson in surveying history.

The binder provided for attendees included much historical information, including biographies of students of the then Michigan Agricultural College (now MSU) engineering class of 1895, whose footsteps and fieldbook notes attendees would follow in an effort to recreate a turn of the century class exercise. Students of this class went on to practice law, agriculture, teaching, and of course, surveying and civil engineering.
