Announcement of the 



GENERAL LIVING CONDITIONS 



At a station of this character the general conditions of living 

 are necessarily somewhat unique. However, reasonable comfort, and 

 especially health, are carefully provided for. 



Board and Lodging. — Tents for the use of the students and staff 

 are pitched near the Station buildings. Each is erected over a per- 

 manent frame, and is waterproof, stormproof, and comfortable. Each 

 tent, 14 x 14 ft., accommodates a maximum of four persons and is 

 covered by a fly, provided with a wooden floor, and equipped with 

 mosquito bed-canopies, pail, tub, washstand, pitcher, bowl, table, 

 chairs, lantern, and straw-filled matresses. Stoves will be supplied 

 if needed. Students will provide their own towels and bedding, and 

 those who prefer to do so may bring their own tents. Such tents 

 must be pitched in accordance with the regulations of the Station 

 and all will be subject to inspection. 



Space in tents is allotted in advance upon receipt of the reserva- 

 tion fee of eight dollars, or after registration. The attempt is made 

 to place congenial people together. Students will find the tents ready 

 for occupancy, but are expected to care for them personally during 

 the session. 



Mrs. Max M. Ellis, Dean of Women, has general supervision of 

 the women's quarters, and is ready at any time to advise women stu- 

 dents. 



Board at the Station is furnished on the cooperative plan, under 

 the direction of a stewardess approved by the University. She pur- 

 chases all the supplies, plans the daily menu, and has general super- 

 vision of the kitchen and mess tent. It is planned to furnish board 

 at about $5.25 per week. Members of the Station are not permitted 

 to cook their own meals.* 



Health. — Although the climate and particularly the outdoor life 

 are highly invigorating and conducive to health, nevertheless, should 

 the need arise, any member of the station is entitled to medical at- 

 tention, without charge, by the staff physician who also inspects and 

 regulates matters pertaining to general sanitation. 



The drinking water is entirely safe. 



Recreation. — After the day's work, opportunities for boating, 

 swimming, and fishing, are within easy reach. Bonfires on the beach 

 and other informal gatherings after supper have proved to be pop- 

 ular diversions. One of the buildings is set aside for social purposes 

 on inclement evenings, although the other laboratories are reserved 

 for those who wish to work. There is no class-work on Saturday 

 afternoons. 



* In order to make possible the purchase of supplies at low cash prices, 

 each member of the Station must, on arrival, deposit with the stewardess 

 forty-two dollars in cash or draft. Students leaving before the close of the 

 session will receive full rebate of their unexpended portion, and all excess 

 will be returned to others at the close of the season.
