The climate is delightful. Rarely does it rain in July and August. 

 In the shade it is always pleasant. Long trips may be planned without 

 danger from the elements. One may sleep out without fear. In a day 

 from the laboratory one may reach huge snow banks in middle August. 

 There is an abundance of sunshine, no fogs nor dreary days, and few 

 days of excessive heat.

EQUIPMENT. 



The building is a convenient out-door laboratory, with tables for a 

 dozen students. The station work has entirely outgrown the building. 

 Many of the lectures are given out of doors in the yard. The fine
