Biological Station 



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 dissect- 

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

 supply of minor articles. A good working library is provided. Be- 

 cause of the limited length of the session it is imperative that stu- 

 dents and others who expect to use unusual types of apparatus in 

 their research should correspond with the Director in ample time to 

 allow the securing of necessary apparatus before the opening of the 

 session. 



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- 

 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 

 bed-canopies, pail, tub, washstand, pitcher, bowl, table, chairs, lantern, 

 comfortable cots and mattresses. Stoves will be supplied if needed. 

 The Station does not provide towels and bedding. Those who prefer 

 to do so may bring their own tents and thus save a tent fee of eight 

 dollars. Such tents must be pitched in accordance with the regula- 

 tions of the Station and 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 and friends may reserve space to- 

 gether on application. Students will find the tents ready for occu- 

 pancy, but they are expected to care for them personally during the 

 session. 



The Dean of Women has general supervision of the women's 

 quarters, and is ready at any time to advise women students. 



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

 the direction of a stewardess and committees appointed by the Direc- 

 tor. The mess- fund will be administered by a faculty representative. 

 Members of the Station are not permitted to cook their own meals. 

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

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