342 Forestry Quarterly. 



Graves, Chairman, B. E. Fernow, R. T. Fisher, Gififord Pinchot 

 and Fihbert Roth. The committee formulated provisionally a 

 standard for forestry education, and called a second conference of 

 forest schools in December, 191 1, in Washington, to consider its 

 report. The following institutions were represented at this con- 

 ference: Yale University, Harvard University, University of 

 Minnesota, Michigan Agricultural College, Massachusetts Agri- 

 cultural College, New Hampshire College, University of Maine, 

 University of Missouri, Iowa State University, University of 

 Nebraska, University of Washington, Ohio State University, 

 Syracuse University, Pennsylvania State College, Pennsylvania 

 State Forest Academy, and University of Toronto, Canada. 



The provisional plan of the committee was discussed in detail 

 by the conference, and an expression of opinion by majority vote 

 obtained as to the requirements for admission, the courses to be 

 given in the curriculum, and the number of hours for each course. 

 The committee was then authorized to prepare a final report 

 embodying the conclusions reached at the conference, and to 

 recommend the scope of each technical course. 



The conference voted to continue the committee and to em- 

 power it to call meetings at its discretion. The chairman ex- 

 pressed his desire to withdraw from the committee as soon as the 

 final report had been completed. It was voted that Professor J. 

 W. Toumey, Director of the Yale Forest School, should then take 

 his place. It was further voted that the committee be increased 

 by two, and that the new members should be named by the com- 

 mittee itself. It was agreed further that the final report of the 

 committee should be published in the Forestry Quarterly. 



The committee herewith presents its final report on higher 

 grade education : 



Grades of Training. 



It has been generally recognized both by the representatives of 

 the different forest schools and by the committee that in aiming 

 to standardize the educational work in forestry there should be 

 recognized the need for at least four different grades of training : 



I. Advanced professional training, to include not only a sub- 

 stantial general education but also a well rounded course in all 

 branches of technical forestry.
