SURVEYING CAMP PURCHASED.

The University has purchased about 400 acres of land on Squam Lake, New Hampshire, for a camp where the courses in Surveying and Railroading (Engineering 4a, 4c, and 4d) will be given hereafter entirely in the summer. The land is well located within a few miles of Centre Harbor, which will be the Post Office address. It is especially well adapted for topographic work of any kind and for hydrographic survey. The area is about 1 1-2 miles of lake front on the farm. The lake itself, about eight miles in length by two in width, is situated in a spur of the White Mountains, and contains a large number of islands.

The instruction will begin about June 15 and will last until the middle of August, taking up the three courses in Surveying in succession. An exception will be made for those men who have already had a first half of the Surveying courses, so that the advanced class can begin the work on June 22 and finish in about four weeks. It is intended to build in connection with the camp a working room for draughting and study. Drawing boards and all surveying instruments will be taken up in the early part of June. It may be found advisable during the first summer to have an encampment in tents, with only dining room, kitchen, and work room under a roof.

All students of Civil Engineering are required to take the summer courses, and other students registered in the University during the year previous to taking the courses may take them without additional fee, providing that they are intended to form a part of a course of study in Engineering. Information about these courses may be obtained by writing to Professor Hollis or to Mr. D. L. Turner.
