1912 SUMMER TERM. 



Owing to the termination of the trustship of the estate of David Ward 

 and the division of the forest holdings among the several heirs, the loca- 

 tion of the forestry camp was transferred from Crawford county to 

 Charlevoix county on the holdings of the Boyne City Lumber Company. 



The camp is thoroughly equipped and located adjacent to active 

 modern logging operations on a large scale. 



The courses are given according to the following periods: 



Wednesday, June 19th-Tuesday, June 25th. Field Methods — Instruc- 

 tor Gilson. 



Wednesday, June 26th-Wednesday, July 10th. Surveying — Assistant 

 Professor Wendt. 



Thursday, July llth-Thursday, July 18th. Forest Types — Assistant 

 Professor Sanford. 



Friday, July 19th-Monday, July 22nd. Entomology — Professor 

 Pettit. 



Tuesday, July 23rd-Saturday, August 10th. Forest Mensuration — 

 Professor Baker. 



The hearty co-operation of Mr. W. C. Ward of Orchard Lake, Michi- 

 gan, and Mr. W. H. White of the Boyne City Lumber Company, has 

 made it possible to locate the forestry camps adjacent to active logging 

 operations which is so essential to the best conduct of the work. 



The field work in lumbering was carried on during December, 1911, 

 on the holdings of the Freeman Smith Lumber Company of Millville, 

 Arkansas.
