Professor C. S. Sargent '62, Director of the Arnold Arboretum, will return next Saturday from an extended trip through Europe and northern Asia. The itinerary of the trip, as planned by Professor Sargent last May, included Holland, France and Germany, St. Petersburg and Moscow, and thence over the Trans-Siberian railway to Pekin, making stops at frequent intervals along the route. Java and Hong Kong were visited and the return was via San Francisco.
The purpose of the trip was to make a botanical exploration of the countries visited, especially Siberia and northern China, and to arrange for the shipment of native trees and shrubs to the Arboretum. Professor Sargent was accompanied by his son, A. R. Sargent '00, and Mr. John Muir h.'96, the distinguished naturalist.
