OUR PROFESSION OF FAITH IN 

 THIS WORK 



I. 



A man's education most perfectly adapts him for the greatest 

 success in any phase of human endeavor only when it has included 

 thorough training in scientific method accurate observing, truthful 

 recording, and logical correlating. 



II. 



Biology the study of life as an clement in education (and 

 so in the progress of the human race) represents one of man's most 

 intimate and fundamental intellectual activities it is the study of 

 his own life forces and of the myriad influences that determine his 

 own setting in nature. 



III. 



The sea, that limitless fountain-head of immeasurable life, which 

 without cultivation has yielded so much to the nurture of the human 

 race, which with cultivation can yield as much food as our best agri- 

 cultural lauds, and which, one day, when the laud is crowded with 

 teeming millions, will go far toward feeding the then existing peoples 

 the sea, I say, presents a multitude of pressing problems of infinite 

 importance to the future of humanity, and is the preeminent bio- 

 logical laboratory of earth, which every year is attracting an increas- 

 ingly greater number of students, and enlisting an ever warmer and 

 more active human interest.
