EXCURSIONS

Under the directorship of a competent guide, there will be excursions
to neighboring points of interest such as Monticello, the home
of Thomas Jefferson; the Natural Bridge; Luray Caverns; the Grottoes
of the Shenandoah; the battle fields in Virginia; and any other
points to which a sufficiently large number may care to go. The
proximity to Washington and Richmond and Old Point Comfort
(three hours ride to each) should make a visit to either exceptionally
interesting. Saturday will be reserved for these excursions. On
Monday and Thursday nights, if clear, parties will leave Cabell Hall
at 8 o'clock to visit the McCormick Astronomical Observatory, where
they will be shown the stars through the large telescope in the Observatory.
