by Doctor Edward F. Bigelow, its creator 

 and director. Situated in one of the most 

 charming regions of Connecticut, with 

 an immediate environment of its own as

 institution, although unknown to many 

 lovers of nature in our own state, is a 

 Mecca for pilgrims from far and near.

 soul-feeding mission, will bring to it an 



ever increasing list of votaries to share 

 in the feast of nature secrets its methods 

 are ever unfolding.

 the things of the natural world about 

 them and a longing for intimate know- 

 ledge of its mysteries and myriad offer- 

 ings xA.rcAdiA brings a light which clears 

 the powers of perception and an open 

 sesame rich with revealings. The partic- 

 ular advantage in an alliance with this
