New England Marine Lab Proposal Aims For Permanent Facility
A plan seeks to establish a marine biological laboratory on the New England coast with proper equipment for instruction and research. Trustees named include William G. Farlow and Alpheus Hyatt among others, seeking to expand practical botany and zoology study for teachers. The movement follows the 1881 Annisquam lab started by the Woman’s Education Association, which educated 102 students at little or no cost, yet relied on voluntary support and limited gear. The association now asks naturalists nationwide for opinions on creating a broader, permanent base.

The Chicago Railway Age notes 1040 miles of new main track laid from January through April 1887 across 49 lines in 25 states and territories. It projects 8000 to 10000 miles for the year, then cites uncertainty from the federal Interstate Commerce Act and says most mileage comes from large railways' preexisting plans that could not be halted before the law.
