be shown, . and candidates must be men who are rather generally 

 known to the profession. 



8. The Council feels that foresters engaged in forest work in Amer- 

 ica who have rendered distinguished service to forestry should be hon- 

 ored by election as Fellows rather than as Honorary Members, in spite 

 of the fact that the constitution would permit of their election to either 

 grade. 



9. The requirement of the constitution that "except as specified for 

 Honorary Membership and Corresponding Membership, members of 

 the Society shall be residents of the United States, or of its possessions, 

 or of Canada" is interpreted as meaning legal residence and not actual 

 residence at the time of election. Thus an American forester tem- 

 porarily residing in some other country is still eligible for election to 

 Membership or Senior Membership in the Society. Furthermore, 

 anyone already a member of the Society who might leave the United 

 States, its possessions, or Canada to take up work elsewhere would 

 not thereby surrender membership in the Society. This applies also 

 to men going into other lines of work after election. If these men so 

 desire there is no reason why they should not continue indefinitely their 

 connection with the Society. 



10. With the single exception as to place of residence, the same 

 qualifications are required for Corresponding Membership ,as for 

 Senior Membership. The Council feels that the number of Corre- 

 sponding Members should be kept comparatively small, and urges 

 members to limit nominations to this grade to foresters in other coun- 

 tries who will take a real interest in and add strength to the Society. 



11. All proposals of candidates must be endorsed by at least three 

 Senior Members or Fellows (or a Section), and must contain the 

 following information : 



(a) Full name and grade for which proposed. 



(b) Educational institutions attended, with degrees received and 

 dates. In the absence of a degree in forestry satisfactory evidence 

 must be furnished that the candidate is a forester as defined in para- 

 graph 2 above. 



(c) Detailed statement of practical experience in forest w^ork, 

 chronologically arranged, with a summary of principal activities by 

 lines of work. 



(d) List of important publications, with a summary of their gen- 

 eral character and value.
