8 Takeaways From Harvard’s Task Force Reports
Chill winds, frozen tundras, and a dollar a day wage appeal to at least 23 University students. A representative of the U.S. Weather Bureau yesterday interviewed that number of juniors, seniors, and graduate students who wish to work as assistants in Arctic weather stations this summer.
The assistant program is open only to U.S. citizens who will "benefit directly from the experience" in present college work or in future careers. The Navy Task Group which will transport the students to remote regions of Canada and Greenland will leave Boston on June 15 and return around September 25.
In addition to transmitting weather data, the stations carry on research projects. The Weather Bureau emphasizes that the student program is much more than a summer jaunt and will require a great deal of manual labor. As compensation, the students will have a chance to observe "very important and unique scientific work" in a fascinating, little known part of the world.
