Marine Biology Grad Students Cruise A Quarter On "Te Vega"

Stanford's marine biological teaching and research ship Te Vega sails today from Singapore, Malaysia with a group of twelve students and four professors, including the director of the University's Hopkins Marine Station, Professor Lawrence R. Blinks. Included in the twelve students who will spend a quarter studying marine life in the Pacific from aboard the 135-foot schooner are Stanford's Charles F. Cleland, Paul Fell, Linda Kahan, John Pearse. and Frederick W. Schuierer. AMONG THE FORTS of call on the Te Vega's sixth clause will bo Zamboanga in the Philippines, Rabaul in New Britain, Honiara on Guadalcanal, and the end of the voyage at Suva in the Fiji will be joined by Professor Rolf will be poined by Professor Rolf Bolin, director of the Te Vega expeditions and leader of most of its cruises, who will lead it on its final two voyages before its return to home port at Monterey in the fall. Participating students enroll in a regular Stanford course of graduate study in marine biology under fellowships from the National Science Foundation. Te Vega cruises correspond approximately to the University s aea demic quarters with both student and faculty exchanged by air travel after each cruise. Assisting Prof. Blinks, chief scientist on the boat's sixth voyage, will be Dr. Daniel Cohen of the U.S. National Museum in Washington, D.C., Dr. C. M. Yonge of the University of Glasgow. Scotland, and Monterey physician Dr. Benjamin T. Richards. THE TE VEGA is one of the j few ships in the United States equipped exclusively for marine  biological research and is sponsored on its expeditions by grants from tho National Science Foundation. Included among the twelve students aboard ship are those from such diverse institutions as University of Chicago, University of Alaska, and University of Sydney, Australia.
