In the late summer of 1899, Mr. Huntingdon Adams, of the class of 
1901 at Harvard, paid a flying visit to the coast of northern Labrador. 
He was so impressed with the beauty of the fiords and mountains of the 
country that he conceived the idea of organizing a party which should 
spend the following season exploring in the same region, with intent to 
bring back more definite information regarding its general geography 
than had yet been obtained.
