WHERE FORESTRY CAN BE STUDIED 



A FEW years ago the prospective 

 American student of forestry 

 had httle choice in his own 

 country of the place where he would 

 study. The first forestry school 

 was opened at Biltmore, North Caro- 

 lina, thirteen years ago ; a little later 

 the Yale Forest School was established, 

 and for a while they stool almost 

 alone. Now there are several schools 

 well manned and equipped to give in- 

 struction in forestry of the highest 

 grade, and numerous others are giving 

 a course or courses in this subject. Two 

 colleges. Tufts College in Massachu- 

 setts, and the University of California, 

 announce special forestry preparatory 

 courses, made up in great measure of 

 the fundamental sciences on which for- 

 estry rests. 



The subject is too new in our curri- 

 cula to be fully standardized and the 

 efforts of many institutions to meet the 

 need are somewhat experimental, but 

 it is nevertheless clear that forestry has 

 won its place in the consideration of 

 our educational authorities. 



For the information of those inter- 

 ested a list is published of universities, 

 colleges, and schools in the United 

 States where forestry is taught. Brief 

 statements of the nature and scope of 

 the work done are added to each case. 

 This information has been gotten from 

 the published announcements of the in- 

 stitutions themselves and an effort has 

 been made to make it as accurate and 

 complete as possible. American For- 

 estry will be grateful for any correc- 

 tion or additions, now or in the future, 

 so that accurate information may be 

 available at all times to its readers and 

 friends.
