FOREST SCHOOL NOTES 



YALE FOREST SCHOOL 



ONE of the important features of 

 the Yale Forest School is its 

 summer work in Pennsylvania. 

 The school has a fully equipped plant 

 for field instruction at Milford, Pa., 

 located on the estate of the late Mr. 

 James W. Pinchot who was very much 

 interested in this work and contributed 

 generously to its establishment and 

 support. Attendance at a summer ses- 

 sion at Milford is required of a regu- 

 lar junior class of the Forest School. 

 This term is given at the beginning of 

 the course. The work during this term 

 comprises Field Surveying, Forest 

 Mensuration, Forest Botany, and Sil- 

 vics. The instruction is largely in the 

 field. 



The Forest School has conducted at 

 Alilford also a short course in forestry 

 designed for woods superintendents, 

 prospective forest students, and others 

 who wish to obtain a short general 

 course in the subject. 



During the past summer there were 

 in attendance at Milford forty-six men 

 taking the regular junior work and 

 sixteen men in the short course. 



The fall term has opened with a sub- 

 stantial increase over the preceding year 

 in the number of students. There are 

 registered seventy-one students in the 

 regular department and seventeen men 

 from other departments of the Uni- 

 versity taking special work at the For- 

 est School.
