...will travel as far West as Chicago, and as far south as New Orleans, lecturing also at both places. Professor Kuekenthal will before returning to Germany in March lecture at Yale, and at the Universities of Illionis, of Michigan, and of Wisconsin; and he will also carry on some research in the marine laboratory at Lajolla, on the Pacific Coast, after visiting the Grand Canon in Arizona...
