a thorough intellectual training.
The steamship Osfario is b~ing friei
up Tor the voyage. She Is s;agach aDi
veil huiit, and Is lzrsy enough TO be
thoroughly comfortable, ey-n in thc
tropical countries. She Is SsO feet long.
and 10 feet beam, has four decks. ami
Can accommodate 400 students with state
rooms. The students will I've under the
direction and instruction of professors
selected from the leading colleges, each a
noted specialist in his own department Of
teaching. Profs. Wilder. Schatfter, Jen.
ney, Taylor, Herdmsn, Ives. Kidder,
Philip Corwin, Reed and Russell are
among the faculty. and other distin-
guished scientists will be added before
the expedition sails. The ship is differed
from the navy. Men who are familiar
with the route, and have seen much service,
have been selected. To these officers the
safety of the expedition may be trusted
with entire confidence. Commander
Philip, who has seen much service in the
Pacific, has been detached from the
adams to take command Of the Ontario.
The expedition is encouraged and en-
dorsed by such men as Profs. Henry,
Baird, Asa Gray, Newberry and Cox, by
Anderson. 1t also has the support of
President Hayes, the Secretary Of State
and the Secretary of the Navy and will
have their protection and assistance in
foreign countries.
The route of the expedition is very
one. The ship will sail from
New York direct to st. Thomas and the
Barbados. Thence she will 60 to the
island of Marajo, at the mouth of the
Amazon, to Pho, Montcvideo aud through
the Straits of Magellan to Valparaiso, to
the Society, Navigators' and Feejee Is
lands, Australia, Formosa, Nagasaki,
Yokohama and Jeddo in Japan; the Vel
low Sea aud the mouth Of the river
Perho in China, whence excursions will
be made to Pckin and the grand Chinese
Wall. The vessel will then proceed to
Hong Kong and Canton, Manila, Celebes,
Borneo, Java, Singapore, Calcutta, Cey-
Ion, Bombay, the head Of the Persian
Gulf, whence those who wish may visit
the ruins Of Babylon and Nineveh. The
next point will be Alden on the Straits of
Babel Mandeb, and thence through the
Red Sea and Suez Canal to Alexandria.
From this point Cairo and the Nile, as
far as the first cataract, will be visited.
From Alexandria the vessel will 90 to
Jaffa, the port of Jerusalem, to Athens,
MycenW, various ports in Italy, Spain
and Portugal. From Portugal it will go
to Cherbourg and Plymouth, and from
Plymouth by way of the Azores to New
York. Many islands ON the route have
been little visited and explored and the
object of the expedition will be to make
explorations and examinations, to do
scientific work and to make
rare and valuable collections. This
route opens to scientific men a very wide
and rich field. 1t also offers great ad-
vantages for the study of architecture;
for the building and ruins of the world
will be the textbook. The artist can study
his speciality, and the young man who
looks forward to business life may sur
vey intelligently the markets, mines and
of the world, and enter on
his business more understandingly on his
return. The study and training of this
voyage, which will fill two years with
rich and valuable experiences, may well
take the place, with its study and ex-
plora.ion Of two years, of q college
course; or it will be very valuable - =
pest graduate course of study. The ex-
pedition without doubt will find carpers
and joubters in its way hui doubt is van
