Leading Undergraduate Field Research Move

LEADER in the movement to establish undergraduate field research work, especially in the polar regions, one of Bowdoin College's outstanding, projects is the maintenance and operation of its Kent's Island (on the Bay of Funny) biological station. Manned almost entirely by undergraduates, work at this station centers upon research into the bird life on the island directed by W. A. O. Gross, Bowdoin junior. Important and interesting phases of this unusual type of undergraduate study and research are pictured here.
