Rules and Regulations. 



Those joining the outing are not 

 required to climb mountains, and do 

 not have to make the ascent of 

 Mount Olympus, nor does the Com- 

 mittee guarantee that they will be 

 permitted to do so unless they have 

 proven capable. Ample opportunity 

 will be given to "try out" on the 

 many short trips taken before the 

 main climb. The Committee plans 

 to have each day, at least one, and 

 on many days two trips to points of 

 interest that can be reached in one 

 day from the main camp. These will 

 be under leaders appointed by the 

 Committee. 



(1) Wherever occasion requires, 

 as in the case of climbing mountains, 

 it is to be distinctly understood that 

 whatever arrangements the Commit- 

 tee makes must be implicitly fol- 

 lowed. The discipline will not be 

 onerous, but it must be submitted to, 

 and anyone joining the outing, by 

 such act, gives his implied promise to 

 abide by such reasonable regulations 

 as the Committee adopts. 



(2) No tips, gratuities or other 

 considerations shall be paid by any- 

 01. e participating in the outing to 

 ;in>' employees. 



{'A) No personal baggage will he. 

 aeeepted for transportation on the 

 pack-train, unless packed in dunnage 

 bags of dimensions and shape as lol- 

 lows: Cylindrical canvas bags not 

 to exceed, when packed, three feet 

 in length and eighteen inches in vli- 

 ameter, plainly marked with tlie 

 names and addresses of their owners. 

 The address should be painted on the 

 bag before starting. If the dunnage 

 bag is white use black paint, if of 

 brown use ^\hite. This will aid in 

 finding bags quickly when making 

 camp. 



Weight of each individual's bag- 

 gage when packed in bag not to ex- 



ceed fifty pounds. Musical instru- 

 ments need not be included in this, as 

 the Committee desires to encourage 

 members in taking them for campfire 

 entertainment. 



Personal Outfit. 



Each member of the party must 

 provide his own personal effects. 

 Take only the things necessary for 

 comfort, as it is annoying to care for 

 a lot of useless articles. 



Bedding: Two heavy double 

 blankets, or their equivalent in com- 

 forters, with water-proof canvas or 

 rubber poncho ; or better still, a reg- 

 ular sleeping bag will l)e found suffi- 

 cient. 



One tramping suit of some good 

 stout material such as denim, khaki 

 or corduroy. Women should have 

 one durable waist for tramping, and 

 one to wear around camp. The 

 skirt should be short, not much be- 

 low the knee, and under it should 

 be worn bloomers. 



The underclothing should be such 

 as one would -- ?ar in winter, and one 

 change should l j taken. 



Foot-wear is a very important 

 thing. One pair, at least, of stout, 

 well fitting, easy wearing shoes, 

 with soles one-half inch thick, to 

 hold calks and well nailed with hob 

 or Hungarian luiils, are essential. 

 These should be well oiled before the 

 outing and some good water-i)roof oil 

 taken along. It would be a distinct 

 advantage to have these shoes brok- 

 en in before the outing, for if one's 

 feet are blistered by the first day's 

 walking the whole pleasure of the 

 onting may be spoiled. A lighter 

 pair of shoes, such as tennis shoes, to 

 wear around camp is also good. 



Leggings are recommended unless 

 high boots are worn, and women find 

 them desirable to wear around camp 

 with light shoes. 



Several pairs of moderately heavy 

 socks or stockings should be taken. 

 Two pairs of medium weight socks 

 will prevent chafing and blistering.
