To the instructor or endorser of this application: Please note the 

 statement at the head of applicant's form. The purpose of the 

 Marine Biological Laboratory in offering courses is to aid in the 

 production and training of investigators; it is the intention, therefore, 

 to give first consideration to persons who appear likely by their 

 intellectual gifts and intentions to contribute to the advancement of 

 science whether in biology in the stricter sense, or in medicine, or 

 in any field in which professional biological qualification is an important 

 factor. The status of the applicant, whether as undergraduate or 

 graduate, may thus be of secondary importance, but other things 

 being equal, preference will naturally be given to the better prepared 

 student.
