DEDICATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF 

 COLORADO MOUNTAIN LABORATORY 



The construction of a laboratory building in 

 the mountains near Boulder at an altitude of 

 10,000 feet marks a new departure by the 

 University of Colorado. The erection of this 

 building is the outgrowth of the field work in 

 geology that has been conducted for the past 

 ten years by Dean W. E. McCourt, of Wash- 

 ington University, St. Louis, and of the Uni- 

 versity of Colorado Summer School. 



The laboratory building is constructed of 

 logs which were hewn from the mountain side 



in the vicinity. It contains a working labora- 

 tory, a kitchen and an of&ce. Sleeping quar- 

 ters for students and the staff are provided in 

 house tents. The building is located near to 

 the university camp, a summer recreation camp 

 conducted by the associated students of the 

 university, some thirty miles from Boulder. 

 The camp and laboratory are accessible by 

 automobile over good mountain roads. 



The dedication of the laboratory building 

 was conducted by the Colorado chapter of the 

 Society of the Sigma Xi on July 22. At these 

 exercises addresses were delivered by Dean 

 W. E. McCourt, Dean 0. C. Lester, of the Uni- 

 versity of Colorado, and Professor P. K. 

 Eichtmyer, of Cornell University. Dean 

 McCourt explained the character of work that 

 is being conducted in geology in the moun- 

 tains. The immediate vicinity of the labora- 

 tory has a wealth of varied geological forma- 

 tions which supply an abundant material for 

 class study and research. Dean Lester pledged 

 the support and cooperation of the Graduate 

 School of the university in the project and 

 expressed the hope that this unpretentious be- 

 ginning may flourish and grow into a formid- 

 able institution. 



The main address of the occasion was deliv- 

 ered by Professor F. K. Eichtmyer, of Cornell 

 University, who, in conjunction with Dr. P. E. 

 Lutz, of the American Museum of Natural 

 History, is spending the summer in the moun- 

 tains near Boulder investigating the relation 

 of color of flowers to insect visits. Professor 

 Eichtmyer spoke on "Sigma Xi and Eesearch." 

 He reviewed the history of Sigma Xi and ex- 

 plained the character of the work that the 

 society is conducting at the present in the 

 stimulation of original investigation. After the 

 formal program Professor Eichtmyer and Dr. 

 Lutz explained the character of the problem 

 they are investigating and exhibited the re- 

 sults they have obtained so far. 



Besides the work in geology, the university 

 plans to conduct field courses in biology from 

 this mountain laboratory. The fauna and 

 flora in the vicinity of the camp are abundant 

 and varied. It is hoped to enlarge this plant 

 in a few years and to provide facilities for 

 geological and biological investigators of the
