Kellogg Biological Station (KBS), Michigan State University's largest off-campus education complex, is located in Hickory Corners, Michigan (about from the main campus). Many of the facilities there were originally built by Will Keith Kellogg of Kellogg's cereal, after whom the station is named. KBS includes nearly 16.5 square kilometres of land and, together with nearby state lands and preserves, allows for large-scale studies by biologists. The National Science Foundation has a Long-Term Ecological Research site at KBS. KBS offers classes to undergraduate and graduate students in biology-related fields, including the Enhancing Linkages between Mathematics and Ecology (ELME) program, which consists of three weeks of mathematics and four weeks of field work. ==W.K. Kellogg Manor House== A prominent feature of the Biological Station is W.K. Kellogg’s Manor House. It is located at 3700 E. Gull Lake Drive, Hickory Corners, Michigan. Situated above Gull Lake, it has spectacular lake views.〔(W.K. Kellogg Manor House and Biological Station )〕〔(W.K.

The entire estate was given to Michigan State University in 1951 and is now a part of the Kellogg Biological Station. The Manor House was recently restored to its original grandeur and is now open for tours. The two-story home is now used for conferences and weddings.〔〔 Kellogg then gave permission for the house to be used by the Coast Guard as an induction and training center. With the end of World War II a need for rehabilitation centers arose. As the number of wounded soldiers rose, the Manor House was converted into an estate for injured veterans. In 1951 ownership of the estate changed hands. Upon Mr. Kellogg’s death, the Manor House and its surrounding land was given to Michigan State University. From the and outbuildings the Kellogg Biological Station was formed. In 1998 a grant was given by the Kellogg Foundation to restore the Manor House to its original state.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kellogg Biological Station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
