the Washington Annex, but tire trouble delayed the expedition so 

 that arrival at the hotel was delayed until 10:00 p. m., when the 

 most unique banquet that has ever been held in Seattle was attended 

 by sixty-five foresters in stag pants and cruising shirts, dirty, 

 unshaven and in remarkably high spirits. President Clark 'served as 

 toastmaster. and each of the delegates responded to the name of 

 their school with an outline of the activities of the forestry club 

 which they represented. 



Immediately following the banquet the final business session 

 of the convention was held, reports were received from outstanding 

 committees, and Yale was elected as the president club of the Asso- 

 ciation for the 1917-18 term. 'No event in the history of the University 

 of Washington Forest Club has been as pleasant and eventful as the 

 opportunity to entertain these delegates from other schools of forestry, 

 and our interest in the Association is in no way lessened by the fact 

 that the next convention will be held in the east. Our delegates 

 will be on hand at the Fourth Annual Convention, and at each suc- 

 ceeding convention as long as the University of Washington Forest 

 Club exists.
