The Quarterly gladly contradicts its report of Dr. Schenck's reputed 

 death as published in the last issue. Inquiry through the New York Stoats 

 Zeitung revealed that the Doctor was with the German army of the East. 

 For several weeks he was stationed near Mainz, in charge of an engineer- 

 ing corps engaged in the construction of forts. 



About the middle of October he left for the Russian front with this 

 message to his American friends : "I have lived my life and had a full 

 share of it, more full than most of us; the rest of it belongs by rights 

 to my country." 



On December 15 he was shot through the abdomen at Lodz, but by 

 January 11 he was up again and expected to join his regiment by Feb- 

 ruary 1. 



The Quarterly echoes the wish of The Biltmorcan that Dr. Schenck 

 may return to Darmstadt unharmed and in perfect health. 



The Intercollegiate Association of Forestry Clubs, formed at Ithaca last 

 May, in connection with the opening of the new forestry building, now 

 includes in its organization the forestry clubs of Cornell, Yale, University 

 of Michigan, Penn. State College. Michigan Agricultural College, Ohio 

 State University and Oregon Agricultural College. 



Invitations to join the association have been sent to all forestry club> 

 in the United States and to the club of the University of Toronto. It 

 is expected that all clubs will soon become members. 



Annual meetings and the pubhshing of an association paper, are amon^^ 

 the few things already planned for promoting closer relations among the 

 various clubs, and among their members.
