Perhaps the students steal more glanc out of the portholes than they would out of classroom windows under ordinary circumstances, but that has not affected either the quality or quantity of the work they have done. The cruise carries its own library aboard ship. It is, of course, not as complete as that which would be available at Eugene, but the works in it furnish all of the reference sources necessary to do efficient cl work. And there has been no let down in requirements so far as the courses are concerned. They are just as “stiff,” if in fact not more exacting, as they would be! under normal conditions.. Mostly Teacher-Students The personnel of the student- body of the “floating college” is largely made up of teachers taking post graduate courses in the Uni- versity. There are some handi- caps since it was not possible, of course, to provide all of the facili- ties aboard ship that surround the student body at the University. These, however, are considered to be outweighed by the advantages offered by the cruise itself. And the courses have been specially se- lected to make the most of such opportunities. Particular attention is given to Alaska geography and geology. The arts and handicraft of Alaska In- dians are also being studied and other subjects centering around the Territory. Yesterday afternoon 50 students| taking the geology course spent sev- | cral hours at Mendenhall Glacler,, 1 , and three |J placing the | ch they | ob: |in | frey 1donated by Jl'lm with |Matches.
