A campus map may be seen here. Robinson Hall is in the South West corner of the main campus, near the intersection of Park Place and South College Avenue. The suggested hotels, Embassy Suite and Sleep Inn, would be on the map near the intersection of South College Avenue and Rte. 4 - scroll down to the bottom. Visitor parking is available in lot 41, across South College Avenue from the Morris Library.

   2. Morphology tests - Are there any relevant morphology tests that are detailed enough to be quantitatively discriminating? Which ones?
3. How do we quantify our benchmark tests?
   1. Quantitative measures to use? Criteria for choices?
   2. How and where to present comparisons?
