Minor had much to do with shaping public thought and action in The man Bits of history of the scenic Wisconsin Dells, the popular excursion point for summer school students, have been given by Prof. G. H. Smith, of the geology department. In an early geologic period known as the Cambrian, the Wisconsin Dells was submerged beneath a shallow sea.

Farther to the north was a land mass which supplied the streams with sand. As these streams flowed into this sea their velocity was checked and they built a great delta made of sand. The steeply inclined sandstone layers represent the material deposited on the face of the. delta as it -was built seaward. The region was uplifted out of the sea and became dry land.

During pre-glacial times the Wisconsin river cut its valley several miles farther east, and flowed southward through the valley now occupied by Devils Lake. When the great glacier came it lay just east of the Dells And the Wisconsin river was pushl out of its channel and flowed into a great shallow lake, that then covered central Wisconsin. Finally the glacier melted away, and the old valley of the river filled with glacial drift. The Wisconsin then cut a new channel down through the old delta deposits. This narrow gorge is now known as The Dells of the Wisconsin River.
