The work of the Station is materially advanced by co-operation with 

 the University of Chicago. Mr. H. N. Whitford will arrive at the Sta- 

 tion about August first with a class, and will prosecute botanical study 

 in the region. Students from the state may join his classes and receive 

 all benefits therefrom. 



CREDIT FOR WORK. 

 Students attending the station may have credit on the University of 

 Montana books for such work as may be done, either as college or pre- 

 paratory, whichever may be proper. Students in work of Mr. Whit- 

 ford may have credit on the University of Chicago books on payment 

 of tuition fee. 



LECTURES. 



During the session the lectures following will be given at the labor- 

 atory. They will be given daily, at least one each day. The list will 

 probably be increased, and may be slightly modified. They are free to 

 all students attending, and to any others who may choose to hear them.

EXCURSIONS. 

 The following excursions will be taken during the session of the 

 Station work, unless the weather is unfavorable. 



1. A trip to Swan Lake, through the forests, with stop over night 

 at the lake. This is a beautiful lake in the mountains, of great interest 

 biologically and geologically. 



2. A trip to Rost Lake, at the base of the Kootenay Mountains. 

 This is a lake almost filled up, a fine collecting field. It is in an ad- 

 mirable location for camps. 



3. An ascent of MacDougal Peak via an Indian trail, to an altitude 

 of 7,650 feet. This will afford opportunity for alpine collecting, and 

 will present some of the most sublime scenery in the world. 



4. A trip around Flathead Lake, making study of its banks, bays, 

 and swamps. 



These trips will be under the personal supervision of Director of the 

 Station. Those taking the trips must bear a proportionate share of the 

 expense necessary. Such will prove of great value and interest biologi- 

 cally aside from the pleasures they bring. 



RECREATION. 



Many will wish to combine an outing with study. Fishing near the 

 laboratory is excellent. There are many boats besides those of the 

 Station, and rowing may be indulged in. The field is excellent for 

 photography. Bathing in the lake is always a treat and the beach Is 

 fine. The region has an abundance of fruit of all kinds. The hills 

 and forests afford quiet retreats for study or for strolls. Few places 

 have more natural attractions. At the proper season hunting is good. 

 Deer have been seen a few rods from the laboratory. Grouse and 

 pheasants abound in the hills. In season duck shooting is fine. Most 

 of the country affords good wheeling for bicycles. 

 FEES AND EXPENSES. 



There are no tuition fees. Students attending will be charged for 

 material consumed, for breakage, for a share of the expense for excur- 

 sions, and like necessary expense. Necessary books, chemicals, micro-
