The laboratory was first intended for investigation only, and for the first 

 four seasons was used by only three or four workers. Since that time under- 

 graduate courses have been offered, but research is still the predominating fea-

For some time it has been recognized that the quarters in the Fish Commis- 

 sion building were not sufiicient and that the location was not at the most satis-

 University appropriated $2500 for the erection of a building exclusively for lab- 

 oratory purposes, to be located on Cedar Point on the opposite side of the bay 

 from the old laboratory. This new building was formally opened July 2, 1903.
