124 THE NATURE-STUDY REVIEW Uu-apr., 190S 



The University maintains also the Lake Laboratory located at 

 Cedar Point near Sandusky, offering summer courses which are 

 attended by an increasing number of students and teachers from 

 the schools and colleges of Ohio and adjacent territory. This 

 laboratory has a very favorable location looking from the front 

 directly out upon Lake Erie and one of the finest beaches of the 

 lake region, while within a few steps at the rear is a quiet cove 

 opening into Sandusky Bay with extensive stretches of open 

 water and swamp. On one hand is a considerable area of native 

 forest, while in the other direction is a series of sand dunes, and 

 altogether the locality furnishes an opportunity to study plant 

 and animal life under a very great variety of conditions. The 

 courses offered here, are given with special emphasis upon the 

 ecologic side, in fact many of the lectures as well as the regular 

 field work being given out of doors with the immediate environ- 

 ment of the plants and animals under discussion directly at 

 hand. The courses involving especially this out-of-door treat- 

 ment are devoted to plants, birds, insects, fishes and aquatic life 

 in general. The laboratory has been fortunate in securing the 

 assistance of a number of the best known teachers in special sub- 

 jects, and among the names that have been upon the instruction 

 staff are those of Professors W. A. Kellerman, W. E. Kellicot, 

 M. F. Guyer, L. B. Walton, E. L .Rice, F. L. Landacre, W. B. 

 Herms, M. E. Stickney, Lynds Jones, and Chas. Brookover.
