PROF. ION POPESCU-VOITEȘTI AS THESIS COORDINATOR AT ‘KING FERDINAND I’ CLUJ UNIVERSITY.

A rare document – probably the single copy still preserved – is presented herein: Augustin Vancea’s bachelor’s thesis corrected by his coordinator, Prof. Ion Popescu-Voitești. It is a thesis defended in 20th inter-wars time, the coordinator and the student being both nowadays outstanding personalities, sharing merits in the Romanian petroleum geology. The handwritten marginal notes are valuable, showing the professor’s various viewpoints related to petroleum geology, more exactly to the natural gas pools in Romania or worldwide. His exigency is obvious, as well as his will to share his geological knowledge with younger disciples. The thesis is rather an account than an original contribution, but we know that it was in fact an exercise for Vancea’s next professional step - his Ph. D. thesis, coordinated by the same professor.
