Abstract
Throughout most of the history of Arizona State University (founded in 1885) there has been a strong student organization devoted to the study of geography and the state of Arizona . This organization was established early, and once established, it always existed. A club such as this one is particularly important to students, since belonging to a small group leads to comraderie and lifelong friendships, and it can be a valuable learning experience. One of the main goals of the geography student organization was always the taking offield trips, and such field trips are fondly remembered by ex-members. Prof. Fred Irish took geography students on field trips between 1900 and 1914, as he loved to camp out, travel the state, and comment on the physical environment. However, no geography club was established atthis time.
