Dr. W. C. Farabee, instructor in the Department of Anthropology, will conduct an anthropological trip through the West this summer for the purpose of studying the native tribes and ancient ruins. The party will leave Cambridge on July 4 and will reach St. Louis on the morning of July 6. They will spend about four days at the Exposition and will also visit the Cahokia mound group, the largest Indian mound in America, which is a few miles outside of St. Louis. The party will then proceed to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where they will spend a day at the important Jarvy Museum. From here they will go south to the large modern pueblo of Isleta, and the Laguna and the Acoma pueblos. The latter, built on a mesa 400 feet high, is in nearly the same condition that it was when Coronado found it.

At Gallup, New Mexico, the party will leave the railroad and will ride five or six hundred miles through northern New Mexico and Arizona and southern Colorado and Utah. This part of the trip will occupy about a month. Among the most interesting places they will visit are the modern pueblo Zuni, the largest in the West, the remnant of the ancient "seven cities of Cibola," and Moki, where they will see the snake dance.

The party will then go to the petrified forest in Arizona, the Grand Canon, Los Angeles, Santa Catalina Island, the Yosemite Valley and will spend a day or two in San Francisco where they will visit the new anthropological museum of the University of California. From here they will journey north to Victoria by way of Portland and Seattle and will spend a few days in the Canadian Rockies. Here the party will break up about the last of August.
