EXCURSIONS: CAMPING PARTIES. 
Students may arrange Saturday excursions to the points 
of scientific, historical, and scenic interest that lie on 
every side. Such excursions afford opportunities to the 
student to broaden his knowledge of natural history and 
to collect natural history objects. Excursions to nearer 
points by boat and on foot will form a regular part of 
the work of the station. Camping parties are sent out.at 
each week end and an opportunity is afforded every stu- 
dent to join one of these parties. Instruction in camping 
and woodcraft is given to each party by an experienced 
person. ‘These are arts useful in many natural history 
investigations. 
RECREATION. 
Recreation will not be permitted to interfere with the 
regular work of the Station, but when the day’s work is 
done, opportunities for boating, swimming, and fishing 
are to be found on every side. Those who wish will be 
given instruction in swimming and boating. The location 
of the station in the midst of the northern wilderness and 
within the circle of Northern Michigan resorts makes it 
possible to combine with study the pleasures of a summer 
outing in an invigorating climate. At the close of each of 
the previous sessions every student testified that, while he 
had gained in his studies as much as would have been 
possible at a regular university seat, he had at the same 
time improved in health. Many who had come to the 
station jaded by a year of teaching left it as much rested 
as though they had given the whole time to recreation 
alone. 
PUBEICATION. 
The instruction offered is along the lines of the pub- 
lished researches of the members of the teaching staff, 
and students wil! receive every encouragement to take up 
work that may yield results suitable for publication. Ev- 
ery assistance will be given in preparing matter for pub- 
lication and in placing it in suitable scientific journals.
