ALUMNI MATTERS. 



During the year letters were sent to all the alumni of the 

 Forestry department with return cards for reply to a list of 

 questions. These included the present place and kind of em- 

 ployment, salary received, whether the graduate was in a posi- 

 tion to employ other men with technical training, and his 

 opinion of the work given by this Department; also any sug- 

 gestions for the betterment of the school. 



There are 29 graduates of this Department (not including 6 

 who graduated in June 19 12, who are counted as students in 

 this report). Of these Mr. Fred D. Davis, 1910, is deceased, 

 and two others failed to answer even after a second letter had 

 been sent out ; so that the data which follows are obtained from 

 the remaining 26 graduates who answered the inquiries. A 

 few very interesting facts were brought out by this investiga- 

 tion ; among these are :
