Marion Ellis to Vestal from Michigan Biological Station, 1915

Marion Ellis, Dean of Women at the Michigan Biological Station, wrote a chatty letter to A. G. Vestal in 1915 describing life at the Station (founded 1909) and providing news of colleagues and their families. Her husband Max Ellis was a zoologist on the staff, and H. A. Gleason was the Director. (A. G. Vestal Papers)
