138 JOURNAL OF FORESTRY 



It would appear that, if personal contributions may not be ex- 

 pected from foresters, the American Forestry Association and the 

 Society of American Foresters in their corporate existence could fit- 

 tingly contribute and thereby express recognition of Dr. Holmes' 

 services to the forestry cause. 



One of the early forestry advocates, William Rane Lazenby, pro- 

 fessor of forestry at the Ohio State University, died of pneumonia on 

 September 14, 1916, at the age of 66 years. He came to forestry 

 through horticulture, in which he held an assistant professorship at 

 Cornell University, creating the horicultural department at that 

 institution. In 1881, he was called to Ohio University as professor of 

 botany and horticulture, and in 1892 changed to professor of horticul- 

 ture and forestry, since 1910 restricting himself to the latter subject 

 entirely. 



Coming to Ohio just about the time when through the Forestry 

 Congress at Cincinnati the subject of forestry assumed interest by the 

 public, he became at once a member of the Congress, subsequently 

 the American Forestry Association. He contributed many papers to 

 its proceedings and its propaganda. It was due to his personal efforts 

 that the forest school at Ohio University was established. His friends 

 mourn the loss of a genial and always helpful associate.
