No American student of forestry who may lay claim to a full 

 professional education is unacquainted with the name and work 

 of Karl Gayer. His classic volume on Silviculture which made 

 him the foremost exponent of the school of natural regeneration 

 is, to be sure, accessible only to those acquainted with the German 

 language. But his volume on Forest Utilization has become a 

 standard textbook in translation through Dr. Schlich's efforts. 



Prof. Gayer died on March i, 1907. It is proposed to erect a 

 memorial of the decennial return of his demise, a stone and bronze 

 bust on his grave, commemorating his services to the profession. 



A committee of the leading foresters, on which all countries are 

 to be represented, will be in charge of executing this plan. To 

 encompass the plan, subscriptions are invited from all foresters 

 who are proud enough of their profession to honor its masters. 

 The amount is fixed at not less than $1.00 nor more than $5.00. 



Prof. E. Ramann, of the University of Munich, is the organizer 

 of this undertaking. 



Names of intending subscribers will be accepted by the Editor 

 of the Quarterly. Further announcements will follow.
