"Each case is to be considered by the

o'clock, eastern time, next Friday
morning on the annual excursion to
Put-in-Bay via the Michigan Central
railroad to Detroit and steamer to the
island.
The excursion was scheduled for
Saturday, but the change in the pro-
gram was made to secure better ac-
commodations on the boat.
A great deal of time can be saved
if the excursionists bring their lunches
or purchase them on the boat as the
steamer is due to be in Put-in-Bay
about noon.
Historical and Geological Features
Put-in-Bay is one of the numerous
islands situated in the western part
of Lake Erie. Historically, it is noted
for the scene of the great naval bat-
tle between Commodore Perry of the
American forces and Commodore
Barclay of the British fleet. The name
was derived from the fact that Com-
modore Perry put into the bay im-
mediately after the engagement. A
memorial shaft, commemorating the
victory of Perry over the British, was
recently erected on the island.
The island is also famous for its
luscious grapes, because the temper-
ing effect of the lake on climate pre-
vents frosts from ruining the crops.
Geologically it is most interesting
in the study of the shore features,
which is especially noted for the wave
action on the limestone rock. The
work of continental glaciers will also
be studied.
Students Visit Crystal Cave
Several small but interesting caves
will be visited. The caves are un-
usual in manner of formation. Crystal
cave, the largest of the caves, is lined
with beautiful large crystals of the
sky-blue mineral, celestite. The cave
is probably the most unique when
classed with the other caves situated
throughout the world.
Opportunities will be given to visit
all the different points of interest in
the vicinity of the cases before the
boat returns at 4:20 o'clock for De-
troit.
120-Mile Boat Ride
Aside from the many features on the
island the trip offers a delightful boat
ride of 120 miles on the Detroit river
