forests. This should aid materially in 

 the solution of problems that are now 

 in doubt. 



Although the regular course at the 

 Colorado School of Forestry at first 

 covered only three years, it has now 

 been extended over four years and 

 two summers, and graduates will be 

 awarded the degree of Forest Engi- 

 neer. In order to bring the school up 

 to a very high standard, as well as to 

 limit the number of students, the re- 

 quirements will be made very strict and 

 no student will receive a degree who 

 is not a thorough master of his work. 



The directors also believe that for- 

 estry as a profession has become so 



broad that no one man can become ex- 

 pert in all its various fields and that the 

 time has come when some provision 

 must be made for specialization. Plans 

 are now under way whereby the stu- 

 dents at the Colorado School of For- 

 estry will be given an opportunity to 

 specialize in connection with their work. 

 In many ways the opportunities for 

 a good school of forestry at Colorado 

 College are unexcelled and the directors 

 of the school are making every efifort 

 to increase the endowment and to de- 

 velop the school to its fullest capacity 

 to meet the needs for which it was 

 established — a school that can train men 

 in the field where thev will work. 



MOTHER 



By ELEANOR VAN ALLEN 



O MOTHER Earth!— to whom we all return 

 And on whose breast we calmly lie asleep. 

 As in our earlier days, we slept in other arms; 

 Hold lightly thou, lightly and warm and close , 

 Rocking us gently, sweeping 'mid the splures ; 

 The' we lie near or far from those we love, 

 Guard thou our ashes, tenderly and long; 

 Far from our anguish and our keenest joys. 

 Deeply enmeshed by roots of things to be 

 Ah ! let us sleep — mourn, covered o'er with winter snows, 

 Cradled amid the Universe, till Spring shall come with flowers.
