Such excursions afford opportunities to the student to 

 broaden his knowledge of natural history and to collect 

 scientific specimens. Excursions to nearer points by boat 

 and on foot form a regular part of the work of the Sta- 

 tion. Camping parties may be sent out each week end 

 and an opportunity is afforded every student to join one. 

 On them, instruction in camping, cooking, and woodcraft 

 is given by an experienced person. 



RECREATION. 



Recreation is not permitted to interfere with the reg- 

 ular 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. The location of the Sta- 

 tion 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 lefi it as much rested 

 as though they had given the whole time to recreation 

 alone. 



PUBLICATION. 



The instruction offered is along the lines of the pub- 

 lished researches of the members of the teaching staff, 

 and students will 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. 



SUPPLEMENTARY ANNOUNCEMENT. 



A supplementary bulletin gives detailed information 

 concerning the necessary equipment, including clothing, 

 books, and scientific equipment, the best route to the
