Description:The Franz Theodore Stone Laboratory, Ohio's Lake Erie Laboratory, is the nation's oldest freshwater biological field station, and the Lake Erie and Island Campus of The Ohio State University. The Laboratory, originally called the "Lake Laboratory," was created in 1895 when The Ohio State University Board of Trustees appropriated $350 to build a second floor on the state fish hatchery in Sandusky. In 1903 the Laboratory moved to a new building at Cedar Point, then to the second floor of the State Fish Hatchery at Put-in-Bay in 1918, and finally to its current location on the 6.5-acre Gibraltar Island with additional holdings on South Bass Island, in 1929. At that time the name was also changed to the Franz Theodore Stone Laboratory in honor of the donor's father. This report briefly reviews the past year, beginning with a program overview, followed by a discussion of the history of the Laboratory, and concludes with a more in depth discussion including "Milestones in the History of Stone Laboratory." The figures summarize the past 12-20+ years, while the tables cover only 2002, adding to similar tables in reports produced in 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997 (covering the period 1995-97), and 1995 (covering the period 1988-94.) Our vision is to be universally recognized as the premier freshwater education and research facility in the country. Our education and research programs will be unsurpassed. Our education programs will be models for science education in this country. The results of our research will be used to solve Lake Erie environmental problems and enhance the value of the Lake.
