COLLEGE OF FORESTRY 13 



FOREST CLUB. 



The Forest Club is an organization open to all students of the 

 College of Forestry. It aims To secure full acquaintance and 

 good fellowship among students and instructors To keep in 

 touch with everyday problems in forestry and lumbering, and the 

 men who are doing things worth while in these industries To 

 interest the public in the College of Forestry and in the forestry 

 problems of the state. 



Officers of the club for the year 1916-1917 are: President, 

 Fred H. Madigan; vice president, Timon Torkelson; secretary- 

 treasurer, L. S. Stanton. 



The Club issues every May "The Forest Club Annual," a 

 publication which contains articles and illustrations descriptive 

 of the school, of scientific interest, and a complete roster of stu- 

 dents, ex-students, and alumni. A special College of Forestry 

 page is also published each month in the West Coast Lumberman. 



COURSES AND DEGREES. 



Beginning with September, 1914, the College of Forestry 

 abandoned its fixed four-year groups of study and has since then 

 offered only one five-year course with a liberal allowance for elec- 

 tives. As technical forestry has reached a stage where some 

 specialization is almost necessary, this arrangement gives the 

 student ample opportunity for specialization along four distinct 

 lines (1) Forest Service and State Work, (2) Logging Engineer- 

 ing, (3) Forest Products and (4) The Lumber Business. The 

 course may, however, be pursued for only four years and on the 

 completion of four years of the work the student will be awarded 

 the degree of bachelor of science. It should be emphasized that 

 this arrangement will allow the student to receive practically as 

 broad a training in four years as heretofore, but that if he de- 

 sires to specialize he should pursue the work for five years. 



REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION 



UNDERGRADUATE WORK 



For the degree of bachelor of science the student shall 

 have completed, in addition to the required subjects outlined in 

 the curriculum, at least 24 credits in subjects selected from for- 

 estry, engineering, or the botanical, chemical, zoological, geologi- 

 cal or economic sciences, the subjects to be approved by the stu- 

 dents' class advisor, but in no case shall more than 12 in any de- 

 partment other than forestry be allowed toward graduation. The
