NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC PROGRAM—1965 271 
Massachusetts Institute of Technology 
Cambridge 39, Massachusetts 
Graduate education in oceanography is centered in the Department 
of Meteorology and the Department of Geology and Geophysics, but 
many pertinent subjects are offered by other M.I.T. departments. 
Students may also take subjects offered by Harvard University under 
the cooperative arrangements existing between the two institutions. 
Close scientific cooperation is maintained with the Woods Hole 
Oceanographic Institution and several of their senior scientific 
staff hold part-time appointments at M.I.T. Arrangements may usually 
be made for students to use the excellent experimental facilities 
and research vessels at Woods Hole when this is desirable. Special 
summer courses and summer research appointments are offered by the 
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on a competitive basis. Those 
interested in these opportunities should write to the Director of 
the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, Massachusetts.
