Biological Station 



study, freedom from interruptions, freedom from summer visitors, 

 and freedom from the exactions of a university schedule and from 

 the conditions of urban life make the Station a good place for study 

 and research. 



PREPARATION FOR TEACHING 



The courses in Botany and Zoology offer excellent preparation 

 for teaching these subjects in secondary schools and colleges. In 

 Zoology and, to a certain extent, in Botany there is a movement 

 away from the old type studies with especial emphasis upon mor- 

 phology, and a definite trend toward a study of animals and plants 

 as living things bearing certain relations to the places in which they 

 live and' forming certain kinds of societies with other living things. 

 It is this latter view of biology which is stressed at the Biological 

 Station, by means of field courses in which actual training in field 

 methods is given. 



If a sufficient number of students express a desire for it an in- 

 formal group for the weekly discussion of problems relating to the 

 teaching of Biology will be formed. 



FACILITIES FOR INSTRUCTION AND RESEARCH 



The buildings of the Station include a large and commodious 

 frame laboratory, two smaller log buildings, a tent laboratory, and 

 an aquarium shelter. These are comfortably fitted with the necessary 

 furniture, and are used for recitations, laboratory work, offices, and 

 research. The equipment of the Station includes a large and a small 

 launch, two portable rowboat motors, six rowboats, various types of 

 nets and seines, traps, cameras, field glasses, compound and dissecting 

 microscopes, and accessories, microtome, aquaria, and a large supply 

 of minor articles. A good working library is provided. Students ex- 

 pecting to use unusual types of apparatus in their research are invited 

 to correspond with the Director, who will give his attention to their 

 needs. 



GENERAL LIVING CONDITIONS 



At a station of this character the general conditions of living 

 are necessarily somewhat different than in a city. However, reason- 

 able 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-

 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
