MEDICAL LIBRARY ASSOCIATION, INC. FIFTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL MEETING June 2 to 6, 1958: Hotel Kahler, Rochester, Minnesota

摘要

If you do hurry through this delightful town and countryside as it is in May, it will be your own fault, because I am warning you that you will be sorry. There are many things here which are of sufficient interest to cause you to pause. It is true that the town has no ancient memories, but it will spread its arms in a wide welcome. In contrast to the town, the countryside carries the marks of ancient events which occurred during the last ice age, some 100,000 years ago, such as the wide valleys of the glacial streams and thousands of glacial lakes like Lake Pepin at Lake City (40 miles away). In May the freshness and vigor of springtime in this Northland are inspiring. If you care to come early and stay late, I would suggest that you arrange to see as much of the countryside as possible. You will enjoy motor or bus trips along the banks of the Mississippi River, the North Shore Drive along the western shore of Lake Superior, the origin of the Mississippi River in Itasca State Park, as well as the many lakes and fine forests in the northern half of the state.
