HERB i a general
opinion that from
th time of the fin-
al boat race in
June to the open-
ing of the football
aeaaon In October
the artlvltle of our
great universities
and college are
wholly suspended.
In reality orn nf
the moat Important scientific and ex-
perimental work carried on by the big
educational Institution la done during
the long vacation. Of recent yeara it
haa become more and nior th custom
for partlea of collt-g professor and
tudenta to arour tha land and aklm
the ea In search of animal vegetable
and mineral life to add to their labora-
tories and to the aum total of human
knowledge.
During the past summer an unusual
number of these expedition have been
In the field and they have been aeat-
tered from the Antic rlrcle to far lie-
low tha equator. While their mate
hava been busy at tennla and golf
theae enthusiastic young scientists un-
der the direction of older specialist
have been diedglng along the I'arlflc
coast turning over the aanda of the
aouthweatern desert or ararchlng
among the rock and rrg 0f the
great mountain range. They have
been rhlpwrerked rlked the peril of
fever and malaria and endured all the
danger and hardsblpa that fall to the
lot of explorer. Most of theae partlea
hare returned within the paat few
weeka bringing perlmena of more or
lesa value to add to the museum of
their varlotia Institution.
Although Columbia haa been buay
all aummer moving Into ber new quar-
tera ahe haa been repreented In the
field by more partle than any other
single Institution. The most impor-
tant of theae waa the roologia rxie-
dltlon. under the direction of I'rof. E.
II. Wilson. Thla party consisted of
fifteen person and left New York in
June to study tha marine life of Puget
sound and the Alaska coat. At Port
Townsend they found many Intrren-
Ing apes-imena and after three week'
work In thi region they stored thdr
peclmen and took passage for Sitka
Alaska. For a month they explored
the water of the roast and Inlet and
obtained many apeclmcna of th little-
known marine life of thi northern

While theae Columbia men were

party of their fellow atudenta under
the direction of Prof. Oshorn were

for specimena of extinct animal life.
They were amply rewarded finding

Princeton men were In the prtv ;rnt I
waled the lofty rock In New Mexico
known a the Me to arrh for rem-
nant of the am lent Axtee city that I
auppoaed to have been located ther .
Thi expedition waa more surreaaful
than lb previous exploring party that
went out to this aatne plate two Ma-
sons ago. They found many evidences
that a city once existed In this Inac-
cessible spot and the result of their
Journey when wotked out are likely to
be of considerable importance. :-me
of Cornell geologlat were alio In the
weat gathering specimens from Colo-
rado. Another party of Cornell men spent
th summer In California studying ihe
geological formation of that region.
They took along a ateam launch to
uae on tha mountain lake and ob-
tained much valuable information
about the geological history of this
region.
Though the Pacific coaat haa been
the acene of greateat activity aeveral
expedition were at work alone th
Atlantic. One of the waa aent out
by Johns Hopkins university lo gather
biological and gonlogical specimen t
about the Island of Jamaica. Thla ex-
pedition waa rich In adrntlflr result
but waa otherwise disastrous. The
party waa attacked with yellow fever
which carried off Prof. Humphreya and
two of the V idents. Thla waa the on'y
one of the numerous expeditions on
which there waa any loss of life. Ti
explorer worked along th loar-lylng
awampy shore and cruised along tbe
Inlets picking up Heel mens of consid-
erable value but unfortunately ex-
posed themselvea to the fever ma'j'la
which they were not ao well able to
w ithstand a the blat ke whom they
employe 1 to man their boat and dive
for p Imens. They wer unable to
get out of the low district before the
fever came upon them and half the
party wa prostrated by It. A aimllar
expedition tent to the Weat Indlea by
New York university waa more fortu-
nate. They were in search of geologi-
cal specimen and they succeeded In
escaping unscathed.
Prof. Agasslx. of Harvard went to
South Amer'r. early tn the aummer
with a stean . unrh. and spent the
aeaaon in rrul". -g along the Amaxon
and collected ft. any rare specimens.
