Description
This report chronicles the activities of the Champlain Society, a group of Harvard University students who camped, explored, conducted scientific research, and socialized on Mount Desert Island. Areas of study included botany, geology, ornithology, and zoology.
The Secretary of the Champlain Society, Edward L. Rand, submited his report of the years 1882-1883 to the membership. Noteworthy in this report are the permanent establishment of the Champlain Society with articles of operation, the naming of Charles Eliot as "Captain Emeritus" and the move of the summer camp from Camp Pemetic to Camp Asticou, on the shores of Northeast Harbor.
