FOREST SCHOOL NOTES 



UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA 

 /~iF the three faculty members who were in 

 in the army, Major David T. Mason 

 was the first to return. After being with 

 the school for two montlis, he was borrowed 

 for the rest of this year by the Treasury 

 Department and will be in Washington 

 until January 1st as timber expert. 



Captain Donald Bruce returned to take 

 up his work in Forest Engineering on June 

 1st after 21 months service in France. 

 While with the A. E. F. he was engaged 

 in securing from the French the timber 

 which was later cut by the 10th and 20th 

 Engineers. 



Captain Emanuel I'ritz took up his 

 duties as Assistant Professor of Forestry, 

 in charge of the work in forest products on 

 July 1st, after nearly two years in military 

 service. 



Professor Walter Mulford, head of the 

 Forestry School, has been given added ad- 

 ministrative duties and responsibilities in 

 the recent reorganization of the College of 

 Agriculture. He is now Director of Resi- 

 dent Instruction and chairman of the ad- 

 ministrative committee, in which capacity 

 he will have direct supervision of the en- 

 tire student body of the College of Agri- 

 culture. In spite of this added work he 

 plans to give his usual forestry courses 

 next spring. 



Dr. Charles H. Shattuck, who was with 

 the school as professor of Forestry from 

 August 1917, until January of this year, has 

 gone into private work with his brother 

 at Idaho Falls, Idaho. 



Professor Woodbridge Metcalf has just 

 returned from a trip to the southern part 

 of the state in connection with his study of 

 eucalyptus plantations and the supervision 

 of the Santa Monica Forestry station. He 

 spent a few days with Supervisor Tillotson 

 of the Cleveland National Forest on an in- 

 spection trip in the San Jacinto Mountains. 



Charles E. Van Riper (20) has brought 

 his bride with him from France and in- 

 tends to complete his college course. 



A. E. Wieslander (15) was married in 

 June to Miss Mabel Holmes of Berkeley. 

 He has taken his bride to the Lassen Na- 

 tional Forest where he is engaged as Forest 

 Assistant. 



Myron E. Kruger (16) stopped in for a 

 visit on his way from France to Linton, 

 Oregon where he has accepted a position 

 with a large lumber company. 



Alex. Muzzall (16) paid a visit on his way 

 to Sumatra where he has gone to manage 

 some of the Goodyear Rubber Company 

 plantations. 



Lieutenant Ansel Hall (17) has just re- 



turned from some very interesting work 

 under Colonel Greeley in France and is re- 

 turning to his work with the National 

 Park Service. He has been assigned to a 

 district in the Yosemite National Park. 



C. O. Gerhardy (20), G. W. Byrne (22) 

 and J. E. Pemberton (22) are getting some 

 logging experience with the Hammond 

 Lumber Company, Eureka, California. 



R. C. Burton (14) is with a reconnais- 

 sance party on the Lassen National Forest 

 this summer but will return to his work at 

 the Santa Cruz High School in the fall. He 

 is giving the only High School forestry 

 course in California. 



R. W. Beeson (20) is at Ephraim, Utah, 

 at the Great Basin Experiment Station for 

 the summer, working on grazing recon- 

 naissance. 



COLORADO AGRICULTURAL 

 COLLEGE 



r\URING March, 1919, some 2.5 or more 

 soldiers who had suffered wounds or 

 gassing or had developed incipient tubercu- 

 losis were sent to the Colorado Agricul- 

 tural College by the War Department to be 

 given instruction along lines decided upon 

 by Government advisors and the voca- 

 tional soldier students in order that recu- 

 peration could be effected at the same time 

 that training useful for later life could be 

 given. Undoubtedly giving them something 

 to do actually accelerates their physical 

 improvement. 



One young marine who had worked in 

 citrus groves in Louisiana before the war 

 is studying horticulture and, in the De- 

 partment of Forestry, is studying, as a 

 minor subject tree repair work with the 

 view of repairing fruit trees, using the 

 methods employed by "tree surgeons." 



Another Marine who was gassed at 

 Chateau Thiery is fitting himself to be a 

 forest ranger. 



Others are pursuing agricultural or 

 mechanical subjects. 



Almost without exception these soldiers 

 display much enthusiasm in their studies 

 and make good progress in spite of de- 

 ficient early schooling in some cases. Ac- 

 customed as they are to discipline, they 

 make ideal members of the student body. 



The amount of work assigned to each is 

 determined by his physical condition, since 

 his health improvement is given first con- 

 sideration. 



IOWA STATE COLLEGE 



'T'HE Forestry Class of the Iowa State 

 College has just completed a months 

 camp on the Arapaho National Forest in
