A novel Arctic expedition is to be undertaken this summer by a party of college men under the direction of Dr. F. A. Cook, ethnologist of the Peary expedition. The number will be selected from the leading universities of the country and will include representatives from Harvard, Yale, University of Pennsylvania and University of Michigan.
The expedition will start from New York on June 25, immediately after the close of the college year. The course will lie along the Labrador coast to the west of Greenland, past the fjords and the Norse ruins to Melvill bay to the Peary party. Then the Kane, Hayes and Greeley winter quarters will be visited, and after a tour through Greenland the homeward trip will be begun, reaching New York about the middle of September.
