Marquette exploration visit highlights reform and schools
An antiquated account describes a trip past Lake Superior shore where Father Marquette and missionary efforts are recalled near a chapel. The party tours a native evergreen park and the infant Normal School led by President Waldo, praising faculty while noting funding needs. The School of Mines at Houghton and Marquette Normal School are urged for state aid. A brief prison visit follows, detailing management by the warden and 234 inmates, with thanks to Dr Lane for support.
