A BUILDING FOR YOU, BY YOU! 



Tou are respectfully and earnestly requested to contribute to the cost of the site and 

 construction of this building — it and its surroundings known as Arcadia — the Home of The 

 Agaasiz Association. The editor of this magazine believes in the worthiness of this cause 

 and has contributed this space wherein this appeal may be made to you. You also are in 

 sympathy with it because you love nature, the great outdoors, education, recreation, inspi- 

 ration, health, happiness and humanity. 



The Agassiz Association established in 1876, Incorporated in 1892 (Massachusetts) and 

 in 1910 (Connecticut) is world-wide in Its work. It was recently made homeless by a 

 wealthy man who owned the property it occupied which had been promised permanently. 

 He claimed his sole reason was out of friendship to the manager, who was making too 

 great personal sacrifice in behalf of humanity, and because he and his family were working 

 without money remuneration. It Is an interesting and surprising story. We will tell It to 

 you. if you will let us. 



The charter of the AA says: 



"The purposes for which said corporation is formed are the following, 

 to wit: The promotion of scientific education; the advancement of science; 

 the collection in museums of natural and scientific specimens; the em- 

 ployment of observers and teachers in the different departments of science, 

 and the general diffusion of knowledge." 



Tou believe in those purposes. That is why we ask your aid and wish to be of service 

 to you. No officer of the association has or will receive a salary. Its altruism in all its 

 purposes and the height of its ideals are excelled by no organization. 



The full story is told in a beautifully illustrated magazine, "The Guide to Nature," Its 

 official organ. A copy will be mailed free to you upon request. Contributors of less than 

 ten dollars will receive the magazine the number of years there are dollars in their contri- 

 butions. Contributors of ten dollars or more are entered as Life Subscribers — as long as 

 they and the magazine are in existence. 

 Please write for further particulars.
