Associate Professor H. B. Bigelow '01, research curator of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, will be director of a station for the study of oceanography to be built at Woods Hole.
It is expected that the station, which will be the seat of the United States' share in a world-wide program of oceanography research, will be in operation the year round. Dr. Bigelow states that the permanent staff, not yet appointed, will study the ocean and all life in it, and will have at its disposal a specially-equipped ship for expeditions. Work on the laboratory, to be situated near the United States Bureau of Fisheries Building, will probably begin in June.
The only other oceanography station in the country is that operated by the University of California at La Jolla, California.
