Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory offered its first course, in bacteriology, on the shore of the tranquil inner harbor more than a century ago, in 1890. The bacteriology course was followed by courses in zoology, botany, and physiology. In the early 1900s, the Laboratory established summer Nature Study classes for small children. Since that time the Laboratory's role as an educational institution has been continuous and filled with growth and expansion and now included programs for children, teachers, college students, graduate students, and established scientists.
