THE IxMPERIAL FORESTRY INSTITUTE, OXFORD. 1 27 



Although the Institute is intended primarily to serve the 

 needs of forestry in the British Empire, it will be open to 

 qualified students of any nationality provided that there is 

 sufficient accommodation. Nor is it by any means intended 

 that it should cater only for the requirements of State forest 

 services ; now that timber and wood-pulp firms are becoming 

 more and more interested in the management and working of 

 forests on scientific and economic lines, the Institute should 

 be of special value in providing them with fully trained 

 employees. Students admitted to the Institute may, in fact, 

 be included under any of the following categories : — 



{a) Those possessing a degree in forestry, or a diploma 

 or equivalent certificate of having satisfactorily 

 completed an approved course of training in 

 forestry, who have been selected as probationers 

 for the higher branch of some forest service. 

 {b) Graduates with honours in Science, who desire to 

 become specialists in some branch of w^ork 

 connected with forestry. 

 {c) Forest officers deputed to attend courses with the view 

 of bringing their professional knowledge up to date. 

 {d) Students of approved qualifications not included in 

 the first three categories, who are admitted on the 

 recommendation of overseas governments. 

 {e) Students with a University training in forestry who 

 may wish to attend the Institute on their own 

 account and at their own expense. 

 The course of study at the Institute will normally extend 

 over one academic year, beginning in October, and will be made 

 sufficiently elastic to serve the needs of individual students. 

 The subjects dealt with will cover the whole range of forestry, 

 and will include Silviculture (European and Tropical), Forest 

 iManagement (including Mensuration, Valuation, and working 

 plans), Forest Botany (including physiology and anatomy of 

 trees, mycology and pathology, ecology, and systematic botany), 

 Forest Zoology (including entomology), Forest Utilisation 

 (including the structure, properties, and uses of wood). Soils, 

 Climatology, Forest Economics and Policy, Forest Law, and 

 Forest Engineering, including Surveying.
