Cemetery Visit -- Student Photographs.

Prof. Nan P. Chico,

Sociology 3419.

Note to my students: the following pages are graphics-intensive and might load slowly if you are connecting from home, so be patient! The text will load first, allowing you to have something to read meanwhile.

Pages were tested in Windows 95 at a screen resolution of 640 by 480 with 256 colors in MicroSoft Internet Explorer 4.0 (with font size Medium) and in Windows 3.1 and on Macs, both with Netscape 3, on our campus computers.

The majority of these photos were taken by students in my Death & Dying classes, mostly in Winter '97 quarter, though a few are from past classes and some are from other faculty or staff members.
